  1. Frequently pasted items on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1

    how about a little database of things you frequently want to paste in to web forms such as your last name, your email address, your phone number. In addition of course to copy and paste. And for the love of god, allow me to send and receive pictures in SMS messages like all the other phones out there that cost $200 less than mine can do.

  2. Re:This is why on "Back Door" Cheating Scandal Rocks Online Poker · · Score: 1

    Slot machines don't involve coins anymore. You put in bills, and take out barcoded receipts to a recorded sound of coins falling. But back to the issue at hand, I got comped at penny slots this last weekend. Makes the free drinks cheaper than the $200 vodka tonic I got at the blackjack table.

  3. Re:Some general thoughts on Best Shrinkable ReiserFS Replacement? · · Score: 1

    zfs is great until it kernel panics your system when it loses access to a lun. I believe the fix is out now but man that sucked.

  5. Re:Oh, how user friendly! on iPhone Nano To Be Launched By Christmas? · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about a dial with numbers 0-9 on it, with small holes next to each number. To input a particular number you would place the included stylus into the corresponding hole, then turn the dial clockwise until it stops. Upon releasing the stylus, the dial will return to its resting position, and your chosen digit will appear on the screen.

  6. Re:Phish has always been cool about their IP on Phish Moves To FLAC · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but Phish has always been even cooler about Throwing glowsticks at the band.

  7. Re:Waste of Money on Harvard Open Source Courseware · · Score: 1
    I saw the same thing at GWU; while I was there they spent god knows how much money on this Prometheus crap, which they homebrewed; only to sell it off when the couldn't make any money on it; and then switch to Blackboard.


    Guess who they sold prometheus to...


    Blackboard (which I feel is also a piece of crap).


    I work for a university in california which pays approx. $70,000 a year for blackboard licensing and support fees. The blackboard support people understand less about the program than the sysadmin community. We all turn to each other for help, contacting support as a last resort. I can't wait to find a free alternative (or write my own).
