  2. Re:Something seems off on Movie Studio Finally Sees the Light On Rentals · · Score: 1

    If it's digital, they may going with the average of 30fps. 190 min * 60 seconds * 30 frames = $288000. That extra $15,000 should cover gas, lunch and tolls.

    Does Kim Jong Il play the Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney part in the commercial?

  7. The "Out The Door Dance" on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 4, Funny

    In a more respectable time, men did more of a "Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet, and Watch." Now everyone I know does more like a One Handed Charleston, checking the pockets for wallet, keys, and cellphone.

    Is this thing you own your iPhone, or something.....else?

  9. Re:In other news... on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    Are you saying nobody lived in caves until someone drew boobies on the wall?

  10. Voting records on Innocent Until Predicted Guilty · · Score: 1

    If I recall my HBO docudramas correctly, wasn't it also Florida that used data from Texas to determine who should be blocked from voting in the 2000 election? Can't Florida do any kind of analysis on their own without using tainted data to start with?

  11. Backwards compatible? on Commodore 64 Primed For a Comeback In June · · Score: 1

    Call me when it has a 5 1/4" floppy drive feature so I can play my classic games right off the disc.

  12. You sir... on Yale Law Student Wants Government To Have Everybody's DNA · · Score: 1

    ...have the boorish manners of a Yaley!

  13. Those were the days! on Programming the Commodore 64: the Definitive Guide · · Score: 1

    Typing in programs line by line from a book or from Compute! Gazette to animate a moon landing, or play Basketball Sam and Ed (I think they were called).

    Anyway, even Mad Magazine eventually published a program, but it never worked. :(

  14. Get them to read instructions in the first place? on How Do You Get Users To Read Error Messages? · · Score: 1

    The instructions on the website I support are spelled out in sequential steps:
    1. Enter info
    2. Click button A
    3. Repeat 1-2 as needed
    4. Click button B

    Or when given a page of several items to fill out, why oh why do they always start at the bottom and wonder why it didn't work?

  18. I, Meatbag on Scientists Turn Wood Into Bone · · Score: 1

    Good news! Professor Farnsworth did it first in "Anthology of Interest II"

  19. Re:You newbs, MJ is not a scam... on MagicJack Femtocell Gates Cell Traffic to VoIP · · Score: 1

    I've been using it as a business line and it's been great to me so far. The unanswered calls go to voice mail, it's never busy, and the voice mail is automatically emailed to me as an attachment.

    The desktop client is a little clunky, it's just a dialer. Something like visual voicemail would be sweet. It's a little slow to start up like it's downloading updates or something. I'd love be able to upload an audio file as my outgoing message (any suggestions anyone?)

    I had some echos the first week I was using it, but soon after it was cleared up. The call quality has been excellent since.

  23. Keep it clean! on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1
