  1. Re:I guess I'm confused... on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 1

    Well put -- I was bored w/ tech so I changed paths w/ an MBA...

  2. Career Services!!! on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 1

    I just graduated with my MBA, and although the professors, students, and program was great, it was severely lacking one major ingredient: career services. The career services center was so awful that it really detracted from the excellent experience. So, make sure you know where you want to go after grad school, and make sure that that school can get you there.

  3. Shoutcast on Peercasting Ready for Primetime? · · Score: 1

    I was doing this years ago so that I could listen to my favorite talk show out of DC wherever I went, with Shoutcast. Limiting it to three connections helped :)

  4. Re:You troll you. on Wired's 2004 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    Absolutely -- I was looking for something on Batman Begins, and IMDB didn't help much. So, I checked out aintitobnoxious yesterday, for about 1 minute. I couldn't wade through all of the crap...

  5. Re:Cool on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    Oh, and I'm in Atlanta, so there are plenty of stations broadcasting (including the 88s)...

  6. Re:Cool on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    Headphones while driving just seems like an accident waiting to happen :)

    The sound is still a bit muffled, but compared to what I was stuck with -- whatever the radio gave me -- it is excellent. I only hear the static between songs, though. But, I just bought it yesterday, so I can't speak for the quality as much (and I'm not that much of an audiophile, relatively speaking to those here).

  7. Re:What about Urban Areas on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    Could be a Honda...in my 97 Civic, I "found out" that the security system is wired through the factory-installed radio (in order to get you to buy their overpriced CD-player, no doubt). Of course, I only found this out after I installed my own receiver.

    There is a workaround; you can somehow keep the radio wired, push it behind, and install the other radio on top of it (attached to it). Fun! I'll keep that "wonderful" engineering in mind the next time that I buy a car.

  8. Re:Cool on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    I found the Belkin TuneCast II to be a convenient, short-term solution. When I have the time, I'd like to wire something directly into my car's radio, but for now, it'll do...

  9. Re:OK, I'm out of date on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    The FCC won't bother you! They are too busy checking out complaints about plastic surgery and bad words...

  10. Nice solution... on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    This has to be a cheaper solution than the digital media receivers that I've been looking at -- not to mention more versatile.

  11. Re:Every time I see "PSP" on PSP North American Launch Date · · Score: 1

    Well if you add numeric characters to that you get 46656 different combinations, but of course not all will be used (e.g. 666 or KKK) :) Um, those ARE already used...

  12. Re:I spy a new meme on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if that guy has sold any of his "land"?

  13. IRiver on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 1

    Gates is plugging the new IRiver in this picture :)

  14. What's in a name... on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    Microsoft AntiSpyware? That's the best that their marketing department could come up with? Cmon, throw an -eon or a "Solution" or a 2k5 on there...

  15. Re:ok, how long on Infogrames Could Help Ubisoft vs. EA · · Score: 1

    One of your country's oldest allies is hestitant about giving you carte blanche to invade other sovereign states and all of a sudden it's open season on France?

    huh? Americans have been making fun of the French for decades...

  16. I use beer cans for power on The Physics of the Hydrogen Economy · · Score: 1

    I'll stick with my Mr. Fusion, thank you very much...

  17. Re:Old news but here's some ideas on A Pizza Box for Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    That's why they call it the good book (as Homer opens it up and takes a swig from his hidden flask)...

  18. Re:You Got Dooced! on Blog reading up 58% in U.S. · · Score: 1

    If they cannot spell "lose", they deserve to "loose" their jobs...

  19. Re:Unpunny on Blog reading up 58% in U.S. · · Score: 1

    That would be blogtacular!

  20. Re:Blogs... on Blog reading up 58% in U.S. · · Score: 1

    So that's who is reading them. Good, I had felt out of the loop, but now I know that 30-year-olds aren't supposed to be reading them.

  21. Re:Great! Keep the Spacemen at Home on Spirit Rover is One Year Old · · Score: 1

    Why did we bother going to the moon? What a waste...

  22. Re:Seriously on Indoor Tropical Island · · Score: 1

    Apparently, any thing above 0C is good enough for Germans to travel to the beaches of Spain...

  23. Re:Iraq comparision on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    Actually, the US has helped move towns out of flood plains before -- on the Mississippi River.

  24. Re:Oh Damn! on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 1

    Cape May is very nice, however...pre-tsunami, that is...

  25. Re:Sensationalist Title on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1
