  1. remind me not to hire you on Can You Be Sued for Quitting? · · Score: -1

    As a COURTESY, you give two weeks notice. Yes, they won't give you two weeks notice when/if they terminate you, but, you have to remember, YOU went to THEM for a job, and THEY hired YOU. Not the other way around. I love these people that say when I quit, just stop showing up. I guess you realize that a future employer will call your former employer and ask about you. Did you ever think how it is going to go, if your former employer said "he quit I guess...he just stopped showing up for work, we don't know what happened". I can tell you as an employer, I would think twice about hiring someone like that. I don't care how bad you have it at a job, NEVER burn your bridges when you leave, unless you are independently wealthy.

  2. Same here on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: -1

    We have all of our XP boxes tweaked and peaked, along with server 2003. No sense in rocking the boat. We just upgraded a lot of our boxes last spring when they said that vista was going to be delayed again until 07. All of our new computers were spec'd with Vista in mind, but we don't see our offices upgrading until at the earliest 2Q of 08

  3. of course it works on The Anatomy of Pump n' Dump Stock Spamming · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Or spammers would move on to something else.

  4. what spam? on Spam is Back With A Vengence · · Score: -1

    my ISP (AT&T) filters it. In a month, I might have one or two hit the inbox.

  5. spoken by a true lib on Bill to Treat Bloggers as Lobbyists Defeated · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I have two nephews, both in their 20's. For YEARS they would spout the liberal line that Republicans are the source of evil.....that was UNTIL they got out in the REAL WORLD and got a job. Now, both are more conservative than me sometimes! I love how libs think there is a finite amount of money and that if you give money to "one group" then the "other group" has to have money taken away, which is a load a crap! It is NOT a zero sum game! The REASON that the "rich" as you call it, receive a bigger tax break is because, as a percentage of income, THEY PAY THE MOST IN TAXES. But, I don't expect the bulk of kids today to understand economics 101. They quit teaching that years ago and started to teach socialism/communism. Instead of the greatness coming from the people, socialist think that all power comes from the state, which, is false! Get out of your parents basement, get a job, pay taxes and THEN perhaps you will have a clue on how things work.

  6. agreed on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: -1

    You have 1/2 the scientist saying one thing, the other half saying the other. Until you get HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of years of data, you can't say one way or the other. What is a few decades of data, compared to the age of the earth? I remember back in the 70's they were saying we were headed to another ice age.

  7. sounds like on The Return of the Fairness Doctrine? · · Score: -1

    you are talking about liberalism

  8. I think it's mostly a load of crap on Bilingualism Delays Onset of Dementia · · Score: -1

    to try to "convince" people to accept dual languages. I think that most of the onset of losing your mind is because a lot of people stop feeding their brains. If you keep your brain active, you can stave off the onset of dementia. Puzzles are a great way to keep your brain active. If you continually exercise your brain, and keep it healthy, you have a better chance of retaining your memory.

  9. he's like gates on What is Apple Without Steve Jobs? · · Score: 1

    he doesn't "do" anything with regard to the manufacturing of product. He, like gates is just a slick salesman.

  10. AMEN! on Global Warming Only a Theory, Says School Board · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The same "scientist" who are doing the chicken little speech with "global warming" are the same scientist who were predicting a new ice age in the mid 70's...look it up. The SUN is getting hotter, if the temperature of the SUN is increasing, it would stand to reason the earth would warm up.

  11. for some this will kill on No Third-party Apps on iPhone Says Jobs · · Score: 1

    the iphone. Personally, I can't see spending that amount of money on a phone/mp3 player, camera, video player, picture viewer. Other than the "wow" factor about the touch screen, and the tilt sensor and zoom, I just don't get it. Unless the price comes down, and it isn't loaded with a bunch of DRM & Cingular crap, I'll pass. My W810i (unlocked) does everything I require.

  12. this is how it went with vhs vs beta on Adult Film Industry Moving To HD DVD · · Score: 1

    I think back to the late 70's and seem to remember that the vhs vs beta debate was "settled" because most of the porn industry adopted VHS instead of beta. LOL...wouldn't it be funny if it happened all over again? Who says the porn industry isn't good for something? Heck, I don't have much use for porn anymore, but I bet if it wasn't for the amount it rakes in for the computer industry, everything connected with the web would be more expensive.

  13. Look at all the fuel on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 1

    we've saved this winter because of "global warming"....heating oil prices are way down this "winter" because it is so warm. Just the opposite was true in the winter of the mid 70's, when the media & scientist said we were headed to a new ice age. LOL

  14. I'd like to see on Joystick Port Patented, Now the Lawsuit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    someone sue the lawyers bringing up these lawsuits...since they are driving us nuts, and crippling businesses. If there ever was a need for "looser pays" it's because of crap like this.

  15. give that man a Cigar... on Blurring Images Not So Secure · · Score: 1

    He gets it :)

  16. how about a big DUH..... on Blurring Images Not So Secure · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anytime I post a picture, such as a car with a license plate, I BLANK out the numbers/letters with three colors, a block of white, then a block of silver, then a block of black. Not layers, just the colors.

  17. and the enviromentalist on How ExxonMobil Funded Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    are as pure as the wind driven snow. BOTH sides have lied IMO. Somewhere between the two, you'll find the truth. "Technically" global warming does exist, but, the output from the sun has increased in the past decade or more. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you increase the temperature of the oven, the food gets warm. I remember when I was in high school back in the 70's, everyone was worried about global cooling. I remember winters were BRUTALLY cold. If people can get the sky is falling mentality out of their heads and think, maybe we can figure all of this out without shouting down each other ;)

  18. I think on Bluetooth Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    the descendants of the king of Denmark should sue because they are using his name without permission. LOL.... I wish I was a judge sometimes, so I could clean up the docket that has all of these stupid lawsuits pending.....

  19. I replaced my regular bulbs for a different reason on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    It wasn't out of cost, energy savings or anything "enviromental".
    I HATE CHANGING BULBS! Those darn things always go out at the
    most inopportune time! LOL

  20. ALL coffee sucks on Starbucks Responds In Kind To Oxfam YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    Now, Mt. Dew on the other hand... Starbucks is another one of those "keep up with the Jones" thingys.....SUV's, nightclubs, clothes etc. The only reason they do these things is the pack mentality of weak minded people who can't think for themselves, get thier news from "Entertainment Tonight" type shows. They have to go along with everyone else.

  24. it was the 50's on The 10 Most Dangerous Toys of All Time · · Score: 1

    There was this think called common sense.....something lacking, thanks to personal injury lawyers and stupid judge/juries that allow such stupid lawsuits. Plus, back then, they didn't know a lot about radioactivity.....

  25. they already have taken back on FCC Drops Morse Code Requirement · · Score: 1

    part of the 220mhz band, and some of the HF bands. Unless the usage climbs, look for the FCC to pull more of the UHF spectrum. Those bands are worth big $$$
