    What ever happened to letting us know where the links to go?

    Most modern browsers (IE, Mozilla, and Firefox [ok, redundant])show the target in the status bar when you hover the mouse over a link.

  4. Yeeaaayyyy that's grreaatt!!! on Are IT Certifications Meaningless? · · Score: 1

    Whatever. We all know it's the person that makes the job and not the "qualifications". But that doesn't matter for shit in the real world. If I don't have a certification (or possibly a degree from Harvard, as the article would have you believe) how does that make me any more or less qualified for the job? It certainly doesn't help to not have a certification.

    And for the record, I don't have any certs. All I have is a college degree. But I sure as hell wish I was an msce (bet this had a +5 insightful until the microsoft part)... it would make me more marketable in the long run.

    And for that matter, if there is a reason to get in, the owner better know how to secure that wireless connection... or he better be willing to hire someone who does know.

    I suppose you could argue that mandatory corporate spam filters keep some people from getting wanted spam. Nah...Nevermind. That's BS.

    If they are already pregnant, what's to say that one or more isn't already 8+ months pregnant.

    (Sniff) I miss the days of having hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on this and that...No wait a minute. I always have times where I have more than $5000 allocated for anything but a kid.

    I don't envy those who can afford them. I am very content with what I do have. I have a cute little house (well, if you count >2500 sq.ft. little), a car that's paid off, a truck that I bought with 0% financing. A wife. A dog. A job that understands that whatever I want comes first.

    For now, if I want a "raise-an-ungrateful-kid" experience, I'll walk 1/2 mile to my fathers house and watch how my younger siblings walk all over him for anything they want. Rental vids, playstation, xbox, gamecube, pc games all look fine on my 65" wide-screen HDTV.

    ...Geeze. You'd think, these days, people could spend money on anything (within legal bounds) they want with out being judged.

    Come on...you know this isn't the only spam message this agent gets!

    I bet most agents get spam in their government mailboxes (unless the gov't uses something like www.postini.com).

  11. Re:It is a superior format on Widescreen (Finally) Winning · · Score: 1

    I wish I could. But I can't. I'd guess that it is because the creators intend for you to feel "enveloped" in the film, since you really can't see much but the film. I can't even explain why movie screens are wider than (4x3) TV screens. I thought that it was because of the shape of the human eye, but maybe I was wrong. I don't see what IMAX has to do with Widescreen Theatres? These are 2 different technologies.

    Oh, ok. Now I see.

  13. Re:It is a superior format on Widescreen (Finally) Winning · · Score: 1
    It was a gimmic to stop the decline of the cinema when TVs became popular.
    I thought it was because the shape of the human eye makes it easier to view a really large, wide, but not so tall, screen.

  15. Re:Get ready Microsoft! on Intuit Sued Over Product Activation · · Score: 1
    How would you like it if you had to 'activate' your car every time you moved or made an upgrade to it?
    I think this is a poor example, and here is why: A vehicle is a physical item that cannot be reinstalled at your friend or neighbor's house. If someone else has your car, then you don't have it. Software is completely different. In a market the size of the one my company competes in (less than 3000 possible customers) if we don't protect our IP from being freely duplicated then we don't have as much money to spend to make the software better! (that's if we don't go bankrupt in the first place.)
  16. Re:More muscle = More trouble ? on Speeding up Evolution · · Score: 1

    I believe the article discussed as much as 25% increases. I would expect some dis-coordination, however I severely doubt you would break someones hand. You would have to be fairly strong already to see a "huge" gain in strength. While a man who can bench-press 200 lbs. will move up to 250, the man who can bench-press 100 lbs. will only move up to 125 lbs. That is hardly a large enough change for either man to carry 24" CRTs under each arm.
