  1. Re:Equipment alone is useless on How To Help Our Public Schools With Technology? · · Score: 1

    The opening scene of this week's South Park is a perfect example of this.

  2. What about the inside? on MIT and NASA Designing Silent Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Noise reduction from outside things like engine noise is always good. But can they also work out a way to make the plane quieter on the inside, too? Like, can they make it so we don't have to listen to that screaming baby in 7E, and can they shut up the annoying passenger in 13F that won't stop talking about his entire life story?

  3. Obligatory on Interviewing Experienced IT People? · · Score: 1
    Bob So what is it ... you do here?

    Tom Smykowski Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!

  4. Re:i must on Windows Breaks Into Supercomputer Top 10 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can you imagine a chair being thrown through the system administrator's window?

  5. Re:Microsoft Bailout??? on Microsoft Feared Mac Vs. Vista In '05 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great! All we need now is for Steve Ballmer to go into a Congressional subcommittee hearing with his tin cup out asking for money . . . only to start throwing chairs at the subcommittee chairs for not getting what he wants!

  6. Happy Birthday, Ted! on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    Now, GTFO of DC, don't collect $200, and go straight to prison!

  7. Re:Computer stuff on Google To Host 10M Images From Life Magazine's Archive · · Score: 1

    Yeah,... and you thought touch-screen voting was bad! At least you didn't have to deal with this! I think I'd call that a Floridian's nightmare,... ;-)

  8. Re:The even bigger question... on Obama's Impending NASA Decisions · · Score: 1

    Considering the ridiculously small amount of money (by comparison) that we gave NASA to design and build two rovers that operate in a very difficult environment, with no routine maintenance, and use zero gasoline (not to forget that these things are still running well past their expected lifetime), maybe we should put NASA in charge of GM and tell their old execs where they can stick it?

  9. Obligatory on The Gene Is Having an Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, YOU encode your own DNA!

  10. Re:College can be a huge waste of time and money on Beating the College Bubble · · Score: 1

    Peter Gibbons? I believe you have my stapler?

  11. Missed a chapter? on Beating the College Bubble · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it just me, or did this book stop before it could get to Chapter 11 on purpose?

  12. Re:Together on Nationwide Domain Name/Yard Sign Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding? It's hard enough to just convince people that websites don't necessarily all have to start with 'www' and end with '.com', with something in between! Most people just don't understand "subdomains",...

  13. Re:Commander Taco in the Federal government on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 1

    No. CowboyNeal FTW!!!!

  14. Re:CTO or Science Advisor on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 1

    I would nominate Sid Meier for Science Advisor. Heck, it works in Civ IV,... ;-)

    Nah! We need John C. Dvorak, instead! LOL!

  16. Re:Linux Everywhere on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Cats and dogs living together! The dead rising from the grave! Real "wrath of God" type stuff! ;-)

  17. Re:The Real Surprise is in Alaska on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    On the bright side, having Sarah Palin in the Senate would certainly be a huge boost to Tina Fey's career!

  18. Re:switfboat on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1
    A swift-boat styled advertisement appeared on both the Sunday Night and Monday Night Football games telecast nationally.

    I didn't pay attention to that one,... I was too busy watching that sexy blonde doing the Risky Business ad for Guitar Hero,... =)

  19. so much for that! on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 1

    There go my plans to connect to Cheyenne Mountain's WOPR computer to play Global Thermonuclear War! I guess they want to play Tic-Tac-Toe, instead?

  20. Re:Use home-schoolers' experience on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 1

    A B.S. by the age of 20 isn't all that exciting,... most college students ***should*** be able to graduate in four years by the age of 21; and that's without getting an associate degree first. Of course, I guess getting a B.S. by 20 is impressive when you consider the fact that an increasing amount of students are taking 5, 6, and 7 years just to finish the typical undergraduate degree these days,...

  21. Re:It's easy, just think logically. on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 1
    She also believes that "sex education" means telling kids not to have sex.

    She set a great example there with Bristol,...

  22. an Xbox 360? on How To Supplement Election Coverage? · · Score: 1

    Umm, seriously? How exactly is that going to help you find election results?

  23. Re:Text Message Results? on How To Supplement Election Coverage? · · Score: 1

    It shouldn't be a problem for you. No state election returns will be released when the polls are open. And with Florida in the east coast, you probably won't miss anything.

  24. Re:$289 on Why Netbooks Will Soon Cost $99 · · Score: 1

    It has Linux, too! =) But if you look at some of the comments, wooters are complaining and wanting to know how to put Windows XP on it?!?!

    Here in Pennsylvania, said "rich liberal elitists" are all running around with iPhones and Ammo Clips on the belts, clinging to their guns, while saying the rosary,... ;-)
