  1. Re:I can waste time on American Workers: Lazy or Creative? · · Score: 1

    The question is, "Do you care?" That will make or break you when you do get into the real world. And unless you plan on being 30 and living at home with mom, you WILL wind up in the real world.

  2. I use my wasted time constructively... on American Workers: Lazy or Creative? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I use my wasted time at work constructively. I have found throughout my job history that if you want your ideas to be heard and implemented, you have to implement them for them to be heard. Going to the boss and saying, "Hey I have this cool idea..." usually gets a, "That's nice, now get back to work."

    I've made a habit of using time at work I'm not supposed to be using to write the programs I think need to be written. I then casually show it to the boss and say, "Oh by the way, if you're interested, I mocked this up 'over the weekend', tell me what you think." That almost always gets a "Cool! Let's go for it!"

    My company's present flagship product was spawned out of my little "time stealing" sessions.

  3. One of the reasons... on American Workers: Lazy or Creative? · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, one of the reasons this survey got such a good response is because no one was busy working and had time to fill it out.

  4. Funny... on Earth Departure Movie From MESSENGER Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Funny how those clouds aren't moving. Maybe they were glued on. If you look closely right at the end of the clip, you can see a reflection of Mickey Mouse waving.

  5. I wish... on Verizon Fights Back Against Mobile Phone Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wish I had to deal with phone spam instead of bad service. I signed a two year contract with Verizon and all I say on my phone all the time is, "Can you hear me now?" ...guess you can't sue them for false advertising.

  6. Threats on Microsoft Lashes out at Massachusetts IT Decision · · Score: 5, Funny

    Rumor has it that MA has been threatened with a chair...

    lol...seriously, that was funny!

  8. PDFs? on The Massachusetts Office Party · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Switching to PDFs, eh? Just think how slow the government will be NOW. I absolutely despise PDFs. I think the concept itself it good, but Adobe's implementation (which is by far the most widespread) is slow as molassess, up hill, IN THE WINTER.

  11. Gather round, chilin' on T-Mobile Offers Relief for Hurricane Victims · · Score: 1

    Gather round the camp fire chilin'! Grandpa is going to regale us with stories of how T Mobile came to the rescue when the city was destroyed.

    T Mobile will long be remembered for this, I'm sure.

  12. Gee, let's see... on T-Mobile Offers Relief for Hurricane Victims · · Score: 1

    Let's see here. We are looking for someone in New Orleans who fits the following description: 1) Has a dry cell phone 2) Has a charged cell phone 3) Has T Mobile service 4) Who knows T Mobile is offering this service I'll bet that's approximately no one. T Mobile should get off their arrogant butts from offering free Wi Fi access for THREE DAYS to a destroyed city and offer some real help.

  13. Mod Powers on Microsoft Infected by Virus · · Score: 2

    You know what would help fix the problem of horrible stories like this? Give the moderators the power to *REMOVE* a story.

    Wow! A whole 8 warez servers? NOW which of the other 1.6 million will I choose from?!

  21. Re:Well, funny and all but..... on Email Worse Than Marijuana For Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    Why in the world would you want to make it look like an accident? You need to explain to him that what he is doing is harmful to himself so that he learns something from it. Granted, he is probably going to pitch a fit right away, but later he will appreciate it. If you remove the game and tellhim it's an accident, you're just trying to take the heat off yourself so he's not mad at you. Take the responsibility and put your foot down.

  22. Re:.xxx domain on ICANN Officially Approves .jobs and .travel TLD's · · Score: 1

    No, and its irrelevent.
    Irrelevent? Isn't that a bit like saying:
    "You need to change the oil in a car to keep it running."
    "No I don't!"
    "Do you even own a car?"
    "No, and its irrelevent."

    I think you have to have at least one child before you are qualified to have a reasonable opinion on the matter...or work with kids who have been addicted to porn. Something. ANYTHING.

    I was a child, I did see hardcore porn, and I turned out just fine.
    With all due respect, it depends largely on what you call "fine". I'm sure Osama Bin Laden thinks he's "fine".

    Are you suggesting that having children removes any sense of reason and blocks out your own childhood?
    You're as bad as a woman with these logical leap fallicies. :) I don't even know how to respond to that one. :)

  23. Re:.xxx domain on ICANN Officially Approves .jobs and .travel TLD's · · Score: 1

    It seems doomed to fail. Why not just sit with your children, and accept the fact that seeing sex, a natural human action, won't destroy them.

    Do you have any children?

  25. .xxx domain on ICANN Officially Approves .jobs and .travel TLD's · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I posted this comment under my other, bad account. :( I've thought for a long time that a mandate should be made that all porn sites be restricted to using the .xxx TLD. This way, parents looking to protect their kids don't have a hard time (just block .xxx from URLs) and people who want the porn have an easy time finding it...google for "site:.xxx". It puts all the NetNanny type software companies out of business, though.
