  1. Quid Pro Quo? on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 0

    How about a quid pro quo? Tell your boss you spent X hours developing the solution on your own time. In return for supplying them with a "free" solution, you will get an extra X hours of paid leave, call it vacation time or paid personal time or whatever, to be used at your discretion. This essentially "costs" the company no additional monies, and you are duly compensated for your efforts on par with the time you've invested. You get the benefits of providing an aid to your team by reducing their workload, get the benefit of more vacation time, and the company gets the benefit of a solution without having to fund it in the budget. I'd call that win/win/win.

  2. It's so simple... on Engineers Find Nuclear Meltdown At Fukushima Plant · · Score: 0

    The solution, to pollution, is dilution...

  3. Re:It's about Standards on EIOffice 2004 vs. MS Office 2003 · · Score: 0

    Did you RTFA ? It specifically stated that "EIOffice is able to edit and save MS Office file formats as well as a few other formats we will discover soon"

    Sorry, but you asked for it...

    That, I believe, is a "string (of any length) which matches the following MD5Sum."

    Let the flaming begin.

    You aren't, by chance, the author of "Letters From A Skeptic", are you?

    Come on, people, everyone knows the world was created in 1776!

    "... (roughly pulling off toenails to the 314157th power)..."

    Did you mean, "roughly pulling off toenails to the Pi()th power"?

    Or did you mean Pix10^5? Either way...ouch!

  9. Re:is this a testament to today's computing power? on Attacking WinZip AES Encryption · · Score: 0

    Wow, with more than 2 zillion users out there, I'd better buy some WinZip stock!!

  10. Re:I may be ignorant, on Cisco IOS Source Code Theft Story Continues · · Score: 0

    When you said Fanboi...

    That little punk-ass beotch Avril Lavigne has a song called Sk8rboi. (Skater boy)

    On an unrelated (sorry, directly related) matter, I would really like to punch her in the face.

  11. Nada, zip, zero, goose-egg on McBride At A Loss For Words · · Score: -1, Redundant

    And there are many vegetarians like me who might even return to eating meet if that was the way the cows were still raised

    You brave soul! I applaud your bravery to come forth with that opinion, knowing that P.E.T.A. may track you down and blow up your house. Just when I thought "veggies" & "vegans" were all radical lunatics, you come along and say something that makes sense.

  13. Re:Cool sans ice on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 1

    Won't the removal of heat energy from the CPU still have to go somewhere? I seem to remember there is some law of thermodynamics or something somewhere...and now you've got the additional energy from this 120v heat exchanger to deal with.

  14. I'd buy that for a dollar... on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 4, Funny

    Actually, I would like to pledge $20 dollars to the existing grant to make sure this gets the proper funding! Nothing like a project like this to spur the great minds of our generation to take action.

    I have to think that the $20k will pale in comparison to the Home Shopping Network profits next year.

  15. Re:Again... on IT Outsourcing Need Not Threaten Our Future · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Offshoring coders is utter bullshit

    Nope, just economics. The internet has just provided another source for employers to find employees (Global contractors). The employer's job is to get work done for the least amount of dollars and maximize shareholder or owner value. Guess what? You charge more for the same product. Think you're innovative and better than offshore coders? Prove your value or take a hike. Can't stomach a pay cut? Sorry, but Home Depot is looking for cashiers, maybe you'll have better luck there. It may seem immoral to ship jobs overseas, but it makes the PHB's look very good on the bottom line.

  16. Re:why is this insightful? on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Instead you invaded Iraq, which you knew, beyond all reasonable doubt, had no WMD...

    Beyond all reasonable doubt? Hardly...just because they haven't been found doesn't mean they don't exist! How hard would it be to take weapons into that God-forsaken wasteland of desert and bury them? One sandstorm later and all trace is gone.

    Now you don't have to hide the weapons. You only have to hide a set of GPS coordinates!

    Of course the questions beg to be asked:
    1) How could this happen under the nose of satellite surveillance?
    2) Can you remove all traces of nuclear & biological weapons so that we couldn't detect them? I don't know the answer, but I would say there is reasonable doubt (at least in my mind).

  17. Re:Alternatives on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 1

    Is there a reason you couldn't put an RFID in a ring that is "shielded" from the reader until you twist a cover or something? mmmmm...sweet leaded goodness....
