  1. My first reaction was ... on Inventor of Low Tech Fridge Wins Award · · Score: 1
    I glanced through the threads and noticed that this guy had gotten the award three years ago from Time. Funny thing, though; when I first read this, instead of this seeming three years late to me, it seemed four days late instead.

    Psst ... it was April 1 four days ago.

  2. Well, if you're seriously thinking about it ... on People with real l337 speak names? · · Score: 1

    At least make it something appropriate like 14/\/\3

  3. Now all it needs ... on New Zaurus Linux PDA Available In the U.S. · · Score: 1
    Is cell phone and GPS capability and it will be perfect.

    Seriously, I'm looking for a total solution these days. I have a Treo 300 and I'm very happy with it, but it lacks OS upgradability (I know the Treo 600 is out there but I prefer the clamshell feel when talking on the phone) and the GPS that would be handy for geocaching.

  4. Yeah but I bet the diving sucks on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 1

    Florida baby ... all the way.

  5. That's kind of my point ... on Wal-Mart Sells PCs Preloaded With Sun's Linux · · Score: 1
    Usually there either is someone on the other side coming, or stopped, or it's a huge display and going around would require quite a bit of backtracking.

    Every Wal Mart I've been to always feels crowded (with people reminding me of well preserved zombies, minus the need to feed on raw flesh) to me. Hence the clausterphobia and murderous rampage urges.

  6. My objections to Wal-Mart have been: on Wal-Mart Sells PCs Preloaded With Sun's Linux · · Score: 1
    1. Nice, wide aisles crammed with displays and products, only allowing enough space for a single cart on either side of said display.
    2. The nearly universal rudeness of the patrons of said store to STOP right in the middle of said aisle and block the way of others.
    Because of these two reasons:
    1. Never in my life have I ever felt more clausterphobic than in a Wal-Mart.
    2. Never have I ever had more of an urge to go on a killing spree than while at a Wal-Mart.
  7. Re:No floppy?! on Wal-Mart Sells PCs Preloaded With Sun's Linux · · Score: 1
    It's floppy-less because they don't want to make it easy for someone to install another operating system ...

    This is, of course, ignoring the fact that, these days, most OS installers boot via CD-ROM.

  8. Re:IBM's Lawyer's as friends?!? on IBM Files For Declaratory Judgement In SCO Case · · Score: 1

    The only lawyers I've ever considered trusting were the ones that I've SCUBA'd with, since they were willing to put their lives in my hands. Fools. Seriously, how many people do you know that could honestly say they require more than one hand to count the number of lawyers they trust? Heck, the two I'd consider trusting are usually the first to admit that you can't trust a lawyer. And when I'm on a dive trip, discussions on work/business are usually few. We're divers on vacation. Work bad. Bottom time good.
