  1. Re:Put simply... on Protecting Your Company While Protecting Privacy? · · Score: 1

    We have the opposite problem here. There's one guy that surfs pr0n sites during the weekend, yet gets lauded in company meetings for putting in long weekend hours. We've provided proof (HTTP sniffer logs) to HR and management about this, and they keep turning a blind eye. Whats our next recourse against this guy?

  2. Re:The Cato Institute? on How Many Applications Depend On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Damn, where's The Green Hornet when you need him?

  3. Re:Why I don't watch TV news anymore on The New Mediascape · · Score: 1

    I havent watched any tv shows for years. I think it was probably Babylon 5 or the first season of South Park that I watched. The TV isnt even hooked up to the cable anymore...I get my news from NPR and cnn online...

  4. Re:Bugs? Nah... Film Direction! on SCO Change Their Name to Tarantella · · Score: 2
    Im Quentin Tarentino, spokesman for Tarantella...

    Hmm, conjures up all sorts of interesting TV ads...

  5. Re:Why on 2Ghz P4 Shown Off · · Score: 2

    Graphics, my man, graphics... 3dsMax with a pair of these...pardon me while I wipe up the drool...

    Mac Rumors? Dont let Jobs get wind of this, he'll sue!

  7. Re:Can I have one in my underwear? on Techno Jacket · · Score: 2

    If my mom was right, these things could save your life. She always said wear clean underwear in case I got in an accident. Connect these to your self-driving car, and you'd never get in an accident if your underwear was dirty!

  8. Re:Printing formality on Techno Jacket · · Score: 2

    This would be great to take camping with you. Run out of toilet paper, just run a couple of printer tests, and voila!

  9. Re:I wouldn't be caught dead in one of these. on Techno Jacket · · Score: 1

    Shocking....

  10. Re:For all the bashing C# gets here... on C# Under The Microscope · · Score: 1

    Well, yes...

  11. No, really? on States Sue Record Companies For Price Fixing · · Score: 1
    Theyre colluding to fix prices? Why? CD's cost so much to produce! Almost a dollar!

    Geez...about time this happened....

  12. Re:We need more cars like this on Ars Reviews Honda Insight · · Score: 1

    Back when the Yugo (remember those) came out in the 80's, a caddilac dealer around here was giving one away free with each new caddy. Sort of a 'dingy' to get you around if/when the caddy was in the shop....

  13. According to the article... on Forbes Reporter Refuses To Testify Against Crackers · · Score: 1
    ...all he's being asked to do is affirm that the article is truthful, not identify who his sources are.

    Does anyone know if the two crackers are on trial? The article doesnt say. Of course, I dont know what kind of treatment they would expect, after talking to a reporter.

    "See, we're famous. OOPS, they caught us, wonder how?"

  14. Re:Gasoline Bites, Cars Bite on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1
    The mass-transit idea is one that is a hot button for me. I'd gladly pay $5.00 for a gallon of gas, if the $4 in taxes went directly to fund public transportation. If I could walk the mile from my house to the main road, and hop on a bus/train/something, and 45 minutes later get off near work, Id do it. Id only drive my car when I WANTED to, not as general transport.

    That, and IR vision (switchable of course). Oh, and various crosshairs that I can turn on when Im really annoyed at someone....

  17. Re:Next up... on Human Genome Mapping Completion TBA · · Score: 1

    True, but then those closehangers would make a racket in my dryer...If course, that would alert me to when the space/time vortex is open, and maybe I could jump into the sock drawer and end up somewhere else....

  18. Re:Next up... on Human Genome Mapping Completion TBA · · Score: 1

    I thought we had already figured this out? It seems to me that missing socks turn into coathangers. We never actually BUY coathangers, but always have too many...

    Don't say 'passing'...that thing has sharp edges...

  25. Re:Who said you should code all your life? on Too Old To Code? · · Score: 1

    I think it depends on the individual. I, personally still like to code. I'm 39 and have been coding professionally since 1980. I see programming as an art form. I take pride in finding the most elegant solution to a problem, using whatever tool/language combination my experience leads me to believe will give me the most bang for the buck. I dont use Java/XML/whatever just because its the latest buzzword...
