  1. Think... on Building a Better Office · · Score: 1

    Legos.

    Walls of beautifully configurable Legos. Cubicles that can morph into giant robots that shoot laser beams at anyone entering my cubicle.

    That and an ice cream dispensor...

  2. Re:It's a Unic on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 1

    Bah! I think you meant to say It's a Unix. It'll work hard for many years, all while trying to look pretty, and then be replaced by something smaller, younger, and better looking.

    Damned insensitive clods!

  3. I've set my sights higher.. on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why should we settle for earth when there are many other planets waiting for geek colonization!

    I'm aiming for Mars myself...

  4. Ugghhh! on Homebrew Carts and Coin-Ops - Phillyclassic 5 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am about 35 minutes away from this thing and it is already too late in the day to go.
    A posting of this event a couple of days ago would have been nice.

    *whimpers* *pouts* *breaks down into tears at the thought of 'free' gaming*

  5. Inflationbait on Stealth Inflation · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wasn't aware that the Iraq war would inflate the price of the B-2 bomber. Guess I'll have to get the model without leather and heated seats.

    Shucks.

  6. Current Events on Tanker Truck Shut Down Via Satellite · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One can only imagine the gridlock that would happen if the recent solar flares were to play havoc on the satellites that are controlling shutdown of these tankers. And you thought your commute was bad now...

    I knew somebody would figure it out soon....

  8. I've already been doing this... on New Thinkpad To Combine Pen/Paper · · Score: 1

    I have been using my Cross IPEN with my laptop for a couple of years now and have achieved the same functionality that this new product will provide (sans actual paper).

    It is much more convenient to work with a pen like device when only one hand is available I have found (no, the other hand isn't anywhere near my pants).

  9. Speakers on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    I currently have the Infinity RS-10's as my front speakers.
    These monsters are increadible. I purchased them for a very nice price of $700 for the pair at Ubid.com.
    You can sometimes find very good deals on receivers and speakers there.

    Another good site to check is audioreview.com. It has information on a LOT of audio components.

    Enjoy!

  10. Re:Art should be free. on Paul McCartney Goes After MP3.com · · Score: 1

    This is the most ridiculous statement to which I have been privy. I, being an artist, take great offense to your invalidation of my career choice. Science is a wonderful thing. Art is a wonderful thing. Your generalizing statement not only offends; it shows your complete lack of intelligence as well. Oh great man of science let me paint grand pictures of you and sing epic ballads to honor your great works. You are truly a Supreme Being and warrant my steadfast admiration.

    Stop trolling for me. I do not approve being subject to your worldly shite.

  12. Clown Aid on The Perfect Gift: a Clone of Yourself? · · Score: 2

    Please tell me this isn't serious. If I were to get a clone of myself, I would NOT look to a religious affiliated company to do it. That's all I need, a fanatic version of myself that will stop at nothing to convert the original. Frightening!

  13. Drugs and machines on Drugs, Computers & Cyberculture · · Score: 1

    As an avid drug, errrr computer user, I can honestly say that there is a correlation between drugs and the geek world in which we live. It may very well be that I will cease from seeing this trend as soon as my eyes are saved from the horror that is college, but there has been a definite push (probably geek generated) to glorify geekdom. In so doing, it stands to reason that more geeks would also attempt glorify the lifestyle by supplementing it with drugs. Don't do drugs. I find that they limit my ability to frag consistently in QIII. :P

  14. Re:The changing landscape on Is Usenet Dying? · · Score: 2

    Forget the people coming on-line. They are in "our playground" now. I say unplug their machines and tie them up with keyboard wire! I still believe that everyone should have to take an IQ test and score above a '50' in order get even remotely close to a computer. Oh and as for Usenet...it is still a good resource of technical information (and pictures that will greatly increase your hand-to-eye co-ordination).

  15. www.slashdot.org on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail? · · Score: 1

    It smells like burning! No wait...that is the smell of any webpage that gets posted on slashdot!

    Please don't harsh on my webserver.

  16. I can't wait to implant something odd into me. on Blind Get Wired - for Sight · · Score: 1

    Ouch, ouch, and ouch. The fact that we are putting devices into ourselves to modify the way we perceive our environment is an amazing thing. I can't wait until devices are made that will enhance the eyes (no I am not talking about those little plastic things gadgets that you stick into your eyes that make your eyes hurt after 15 minutes of computer use). Perhaps this concept will develop into a tool to cure blindness! Bravo! Now the blind will be able to see the blue flaming hair of the "Virtual Newscaster". ;)
    Although the benefits of this could be great, I think I will wait until they have a pocket sized version...

  17. Waste of bandwidth?!?!? on Virtual Newscaster · · Score: 1

    How can we possibly say that this is a waste of bandwidth? Any time there is a new opportunity to present current events that will be more accessible to disabled persons we should cheer. Although the blind won't get the chance to see this "virtual" news anchors' flaming blue hair, they will have an additional news resource available. We all benefit from being given choice as to how we would like our news delivered. Don't like it? Don't watch. I do however hope there is more content than sports scores...
