  1. Is it just me? on Tech Firms Defend Moving Jobs Overseas · · Score: 0

    "The problem is not a lack of highly educated workers," said Scott Kirwin, founder of the Information Technology Professionals Association of America. "The problem is a lack of highly educated workers willing to work for the minimum wage or lower in the U.S. Costs are driving outsourcing, not the quality of American schools."

    Or did he just say, "let them eat cake"?

  2. Re:It'll get worse before it gets better... on Long Term Effects of Outsourcing · · Score: 0

    You mean that commercial I saw on TV that showed all these bright American Dell Help Desk faces, in a spotlessly clean call center answering calls, is all just a LIE?

    Talk about false advertising.

  5. Re:Reminds me.. on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 0

    Heh I hadn't seen that one! But the one I am remembering actually showed the freezer, with the vodka in it, with about one to two inches of ice/frost sitting just above the mobo.
    They had their monitor in the fridge I believe also.

    But this was great to read. Thanks!

  6. Reminds me.. on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 0

    I can't find the link but I recall something about two Russian guys placing a 386 mobo in their icebox/freezer, next to the vodka*, in order to overclock it to play Quake 3.

    Or something like that.

    * pronounced "wood-ka"

  7. Whoa... on SETI Project Scientist Discusses Prospects · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Their policy is not to release precise sky coordinates on the best ones yet (so far a signal called SHGb11+15a), with this type of Gaussian signal shape." Guess they're afriad of someone /.'ing the coorodinates?

    Did Daylight Savings Time kick in & throw us all back to April 1st? Maybe their legal department had their offices moved next to the wood finishing area & they're catching some righteous paint fumes.

    Soooooooo you're saying that preventing corporate memos from being released is a benefit, yes?

    10 Reasons to Upgrade to Office Professional Edition 2003 Managing information with XML and safeguarding your data with information rights management (IRM) are among the many compelling reasons to upgrade.

    Is IRM another way to say DRM? Or did I miss a memo?

  14. Heh on College Freshman Builds Fusion Reactor · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    [In a shooting range, confronted with numerous menacing-looking targets, Edwards shoots a cardboard little girl.]
    Zed: May I ask why you felt little Tiffany deserved to die?
    James Edwards: Well, she was the only one that actually seemed dangerous at the time, sir.
    Zed: How'd you come to that conclusion?
    James Edwards: Well, first I was gonna pop this guy hanging from the street light, and I realized, y'know, he's just working out. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin' in the gym and bust me in my ass while I'm on the treadmill? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a tissue in his hand, and I'm realizing, y'know, he's not snarling, he's sneezing! Y'know, ain't no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I'm thinking, y'know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something. And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it. Or do I owe her an apology?
