  1. I hate the voice commands for Nintendogs so much on 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I told my roommate if I heard him yelling "Sit Stacy" one more time I was going ot murder him. I'm pretty sure I was serious too. Almost as bad as constantly hearing him speak is watching him. He sits there with the DS on his lap. It looks like he's screaming at his crotch. Guests at my house think he calls his penis Stacy.

    I've read through all that. Most of it is stupid. Hey the airport has art! Hey the airport has a freemason's stone! Just like almost every single large construction project built in, i don't know, 400 years?

  5. You are a car. on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 1

    Your manager is like a driver. He doesn't care how the engine works. He doesn't care how the road is built. He doesn't care how the gasoline is refined. He just knows he needs the car, road and gas to get where he needs to be.

    You sir, are a car. Your purpose is to get the manager to his destination.

    His ONLY job is to know how to drive you properly. That is what makes a good manager. Someone who knows how to use his employees, not someone who knows what the fuck his employees do while he's got his eyes on his destination.

  6. Commercialization blows on Businesses To Be Censored on Use of Olympics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wish i had the funds to start a true olympic games. A nice non-profit event. Maybe even center ed around the athletes. What we have currently just hurts my head. Spectators aren't allowed to drink the wrong drink or wear a shirt with a non-sponser on it. I feel kinda sick.

  7. Re:Terraforming and the beginning of life on When Microbes Ate the Ocean · · Score: 1

    Little impatient are we? Humans have been around a long time and will most likely exist for a long time after. No sense not getting things started for the next technological advancement of humanity. And you know what, if we're exterminated before then, it won't matter anyway.

    I was just browsing their website and it's amazing! I want sonic.net so bad. but it's SBC phone numbers only :(. I'm up in NJ and i have stupid Verizon who won't even try to sell me dsl without me already having a landline phone number.

  9. Shields up Captain! on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it's time to invent some actual energy shields. Maybe create a magnetic field by running electric current through some copper powered by a nuclear reactor or something. Yeah, with enough power you should be able to shield yourself pretty good. Just like Mother Earth!

  10. Re:Bash on Update on Standards and CSS in IE7 · · Score: 2, Informative

    For the ten millionth time. There is bogus CSS because the acid2 also tests the case of fallback on invalid css! There is a very good reason the bad code is there! To make sure browsers can handle it!

    Wanting to be in the media makes it a bit easy for the media to find someone. I doubt the guy wants to be in a Russian holding cell.

  13. Re:Don't stop there... on New Linux Kernel Development Process · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm assuming (and hoping) the parent and grandparent are trolls because the kernel is already modular and your server shouldn't have audio drivers compiled in unless you're an idiot. It isn't difficult to only compile in drivers for the specific system the kernel will be running on.

    Recently put something cheaper in my house. It's just a regular window in the roof. we call it a skylight. well, isn't a regular window but it works just as well and is easier to install

  17. Re:FP? on Shuttles Grounded Once Again · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about a big Nuh UH! The Russian Soyez can only hold 3 passengers. which is why the space station will never reach the intended capacity of 7. No one build the proper escape pod. Soyez takes 3, station has 2, shuttle has 7. Hmm. it's going to be a tight squeeze, or someone will be left behind.

    Exactly. A great example of what you say is that one milk company will put two differently labeled milk containers up for sale in a super market. One will be priced higher than the other and people will actually buy the more expensive one.

  25. My ideas on Improving Education? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Do away with grade levels. No more of this fifth vs sixth grader crap. Students should be placed into classes that challenge their abilities at all times. For what is now grades 1 through 8 I would love to see 8 levels of math, 8 levels of english and so forth. That way students can be failed or promoted based on actual ability. Also schools need to start just failing students in general. I hate it when i hear people say that failing a child is bad for his self esteem and he should always be promoted to the next grade. Passing a child who is not capable is bad for society. Also, there needs to be more focus on sports in school. Not on the winning or losing but on participating, even if it is only a fun extra curricular league that plays a game a week or something. Too many kids don't know how to exercise and gym just isn't cutting it
