  1. Minnesota Dept of Human Rights? on "Ladies Night" Declared Illegal In Minnesota · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This was a human rights issue? Really? Man is it boring up there in Minnesota, and with this rule, it just got even more boring. State motto: "Are you sure you want to live in Minnesota?"

  2. Sounds like Rod Blagojevich strikes again on The White House Listed On Real Estate Website · · Score: 1

    First it's his Senate seat, then he tries to sell Obama's house right out from under him. Cold-blooded :)

  3. and if I develop a game... on How Nintendo's Mario Got His Name · · Score: 1

    So if I develop a video game, you can be sure the protagonist will be named:"that B@#ch in apartment 1-A"

  4. If body and brain weight class accounted for? on Chessboxing Storming the Athletic World · · Score: 1

    I would love to play chess and I would like to box. I think making weight would always be the toughest part of training since sitting on your behind for chess makes it hard to lose water weight.

  5. Great to keep your Risk armies in place on Surfacescapes D&D Demo · · Score: 1

    I think it be great to have a platform to download board games and expand upon their functionality like this, but the price tag would be huge for such a tabletop. At least you wouldn't have to clean up the pieces or worry about the cat knocking over your armies in a game like Risk :)

  6. But that's the song name?!? on US Fed Gov. Says All Music Downloads Are Theft · · Score: 5, Funny

    So what if the name of the song is "THAT'S STEALING!". Sales will skyrocket for that band.

  7. Google Beta on Google Considers Taking Beta Tag Off Gmail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I believe more people probably know what Google means then they know what Beta means. Google has become the biggest of the BIG companies (without imploding or needing government bailout). 8 to 1 searchers use Google over Microsoft Search Engine, so what Google's 'beta' is, is really what the industry standard has become.

  8. and here I was wondering how to make a sandwich on McDonalds Files To Patent Making a Sandwich · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was just stacking bread without asking myself the tough questions like McDonalds did. My paper hat is off to them.

  9. What do I read first? on Ender in Exile · · Score: 1

    I have only read 'Ender's Game' a few years back, but I wanted to get into the series, but from what I hear this series (based on book release dates) jumps all over the place. So to those that have read more books in the series than I have....which books and in which order should I tackle this series. Should I read then front cover to back cover or start somewhere in the middle:). Is this like the Star Wars series, in that it won't really matter unless which ones I read unless you want to go back and re-read some books to look for inconsistencies.

  10. Re:Oblig ... on Experimental Magnetic Shield Against Cosmic Rays · · Score: 1

    Now my tin foil hat is only good for keeping left-overs in the fridge.

  11. Working for a Hosting has even more complexities. on Personal vs. Work/Free Server? · · Score: 1

    I've worked at a colocation and dedicated server company in Tampa for years now and watched people come and go I can tell you that for some of them, they have their own mark on the company that lasts for a long while after people leave. Employees have generally been able to host some of their own "project and experiment" servers in the data Center without any worries. When you leave, howevere, it is importnant to remember that you may have vital dta that you shared with your server for backup purposes, that the company may not won't you to leave with. In a couple cases, we kept them and hosted them here because we had uploaded mp3's for co-worker usage. Now, no one wants to let the server go, cause we all love the size. If you want to keep your stuff business out of work, then bby all means do that. Don't walk that line. I know that hard drives crash and when my server dies up in the DC I'll just have to get on with it. So at the very least, I'd suggest you put your own personal drive at work for redunancy, but I'd keep my server out of work if it means that much to you.
