  1. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    I was at a local grocery store... and I was trying to pay with some $2 bills (habit I picked up from my dad... who thinks the $1 bill is the most worthless thing on the planet).

    I handed the bills over, and the clerks looks through them, and won't except ANY of them because one of them is printed with RED ink. These are actually really cool looking.. and I'm kinda happy she didn't take it, because I keep it in my cube (and then reference just how "money I am")

    Luckily they took debit, so it never really escalated past "enter your pin".

  2. Re:This site is just plain wrong on America's Most Connected Campuses · · Score: 1

    If you think they got your school wrong... the picture they posted for University of Idaho (where I go to school) definitely isn't a building on campus. I've never seen that building in my life, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

    yeah we have the same gender percentages :)
    in reality, its: 55% male, 45% female here :(

    I know some kids from McCall (i'm on the ski team here...) One of them can smoke more pot than anyone i've ever seen, and the other can *almost* drink as much as me (which is a pretty huge feat).

  5. Re:Colleges must be pretty lacking... on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Heh, well... how many kids you got at your school? How big is your campus?

    They have to give us more money, because we live in the middle of a wheat field. Its the only way to keep us here. Unfortunatly, we've got administrators who have the brilliant idea, that we should spend the money BACK IN BOISE!! They must have gradumicated from some big ivy league school, b/c that is WAY over my head.

    anyways... you may rock us in football... but, bring the drinking team up, and you'll get your ass pummeled :)

  6. Re:Univerity of Idaho on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Well, the money for the rec center, the money for the wireless network, the money for the new aquatics center... they all came from OTHER sources than your tution money.

  7. Re:Do these rankings bear any resemblance to reali on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you check out the bottom of the page, you'll notice that they tell you how they came up with the list.

    Its not based on volume, infact, they highered a third-party 'list maker' to come up with the list.

    My school made the list, and we use Cisco stuff (almost?) exclusively.

  8. Re:Colleges must be pretty lacking... on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    have you considered that I'm not whining? and in fact, I was complimenting my school for having an awesome wireless setup. And since other schools were ranked higher than my school, they must have really f'in sweet setups.

    Thanks for playing though, you're a peach.

  9. Re:Colleges must be pretty lacking... on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, at the U of I, almost every building on campus has Wireless Access Points. The only buildings that don't have WAPs are the dorms, because there are 11293840982734 jacks in the building anyways.

    If U of I is only #33, I'd really like to see how good these other schools are. There is nothing like taking your laptop out on the lawn, and check your email and stuff.

  10. Re:Funny, blood, and gore Boondock Saints on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    If you have the DVD (and this is /., so thats a pretty safe assumption), you have to watch the deleted scenes. There is a lot more dialogue with Rosengurtie.

    And there is a scene w/ where the guys get a call from there mom, that is completly cut out of the movie... best line from the movie would have been: "Yeah ma... I respected the hell out of her".. in reference to when he dropped Rosengurtie like a pile of bricks.

  11. funny.... on Supreme Court to Hear CIPA Case · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does anyone else think it would be funny if a guy walked into the library... and started 'doing-his-bidniz'?

    Why else would you look at porn? If you don't get to get your jollies from it... its just torture to look at.

  12. doesn't matter... on W3C Releases Drafts For DOM L2 And More · · Score: 3, Insightful

    doesn't matter how many standard that w3c sets, MS is never going to follow them. They'll just set their own standards, and those will become the de facto standards... its rough, but its the ways it is...

  13. I just talked... on Fiber Optics Come To Rural Washington · · Score: 1

    I know a guy who is working for Artesian Direct, the company providing all the speciality equipment for this project. He says after Grant county is hooked up, Douglas county is up next. They have everything ready to go, now it is just a matter of hooking it all up.

  14. Re:home LAN on The Myriad Ways of Wiring Your Home? · · Score: 2

    I was talking to a friend recently who says he had a meeting with some guys that had come up with a technique for wiring houses with VERY little work. They were taking little plastic tubing, and running it along base boards, and then connecting it all up. After they had a closed circuit of empty pipe, they were injecting in the fiber for the house. Takes a couple hours to get your whole house installed with fiber networking.

  15. Re:How about asking other countries to pitch in? on NASA Releases Report on Mars Exploration Program · · Score: 2

    The rest of the world is pumping money into space exploration. I'm sure you've heard of the international space station in the works. All contries involved have put a great deal of money forward on this project.

    Devshed gives a pretty good explanation of table joins in one of its tutorials. Through the use of examples, I've come to learn that left-joins are god.

  17. Re:Had to love the chick in the leather outfit... on X-Files FPS Episode · · Score: 1

    What i want to know is how that chick was killing people. She was very real looking, but still only a virtual person. Virtual bullets don't kill real people. I was hoping for an explanation.
