    I for one welcome our out-of-date-eight-legged overlords!

  2. Advertising Overload on The Ballpark Stadium of the Future · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ad technology that is.
    I agree although it probly won't be as obvious to an average person as it is to us that loath advertisments.

    People really still drag themselves to a stadium through all that traffic when HDTV exists?
    You can easily make it to Wrigly Field by way of "The L." Location is everything in bussiness.
      From the article:and pay to show them on the Jumbotron.
    For the /.er's who aren't baseball fans thats the equvilent of paying someone to boost your XBox Live score. If you want to get on the Jumboscreen you bring kids, a funny sign, paint your face, and just be a good fan. Paying does occur already for marriage proposels, but special occasions are different than some rich drunk slob who's just going to kiss a clients ass.

  6. Re:Atleast in my situation on What Certifications are Valuable in Today's IT? · · Score: 1

    How did you manage to get a job at an ISP at the age of 15? Anyone not smoking pot, and having an IQ of 110 could too end up bragging about what was handed to them. You're simply a product of nurture, not nature.

  7. double the performance ? on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Quad-Core Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Will be Katsumi with a live video feed for only $49.99. Which will pay for her trip expences and put her just behind Oprah as the richest woman in the world.

  10. Work Free For 45 Days! on More Massive Layoffs at AOL · · Score: 5, Funny

    **You must call to cancel your employment status or will continued to be employed at the standard rate.

  11. Don't Tread On Me on The Living Dilbert? · · Score: 1

    Personally I don't think anyone can be more useful to the US public than to be enlisted. You might be more useful to the US economy, or yourself, but not the US public. Being disorganized is determined by the people you work with. It's unfair to say that the civilian or military sector is better or worse than the other as far mismanagement goes. Yes the military can be a lot of "hurry up and wait," but the civilian sector can be equally bad... "Hurry up, then lay off."

    When I signed up I just wanted to put something professional on my resume so I could get a half ass good IT job. After attending the college I did, I came to the conclusion that no matter how much I learned, and got certified in nobody would hire a punk kid over a seasoned candidate who could play the game. Even having a significantly less request for salary would not boost my chances.
     
      Work your way up the food chains, and pay your dues like the rest of us! Why? Because misery loves company? No thanks, sand bag PT is a far better use of ones time than answering any damn help desk phone.

  12. Re:Ouch on The World's Top Cybercriminals · · Score: 1

    Yes, I confess..it does make no sence...to those /.'ers who dont understand what communisim is...such as yourself...Lemme break it down for you Barney style..See everyone makes the same amount of money regardless of your carrer. For example if your a doctor, and see 10 patients a day, and they all have to pay the set communist amount of $100, and you make $1,000 a day, but the goverment only allows you to be paid what everyones gets paid, which is $100 a day, they take...$1000-$100=$900

  13. Communisim Works! In theory... on The World's Top Cybercriminals · · Score: 1

    Conspericy theory:
    The hacker ringer leader had four computers. The goverment took three of them and gave the to his neighbors. In the traditional anarchist form black hat hackers posses, he teaches his three neighbors what he knows of duping fellow commrades out of there hard or not so hard earned money. Presto, you have the four top hackers of the world.

  14. Or, as Ford, Henry put it... on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Best. Irony. Ever. on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    Did you REALLY just claim some sort of cultural superiority because you watch the Simpsons?

    No I claimed some sort of cultural superiority because I can apprechiate the contemptious thoughts often envoked by nearly. every. episode. ever.

  17. Hi! Im Troy Mclour! on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    You remeber me from such flims as:
    Modded by the Man and O Liberial Bias:Where art thou?
    I'm here today to talk to you about the up and comming Simpons movie. By now I'm sure you're saying, but Troy can it live up to other productions such as GiGi and Kids?

    You've got some attitude mister!

  18. Re:Please just kill it... on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    The cut scene shows a tag that says "Property of Ned Flanders" the joke is Maud needs a sander...they should have one but Homer never returns what he borrows. Love they neighbor....is that still a commandment? Is religion political satire?

    Please refrain from using the term slap-stick when you have no clue as to what it is.

  20. I love to see you come, but I hate to see you go.. on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well as exciting as this is I think its shows the end of the the Simpsons legacy. Animation usually ends with a feature movie. (Flinstones meet Jetsons comes to mind)

    All good things must come to an end.

    As far as Family Guy fans go, please don't knock the Simpons because you arn't (or ever were) cultured enough to enjoy them anymore. By all means stick with your slap-stick humor of choice. Personally I was always partial to The Three Stooges.

  21. Re:So what's going to be the big draw to this? on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    We already know where the Simpsons live, KY. It's the only Springfield with a Shelbyville as the neighboring county. Everyone thinks it's supposed to be Anywhere, USA, but writers don't just pull insperiation out of thin air. And if you think about sterotypes.."the further north you go the fatter people are" vs. "the further south you go the stupider people are" KY is about smack dab in the center, and homer is a little of both.

  22. Re:My experience... on Thompson Vs. Jenkins On VG Violence · · Score: 1

    I don't see how parents buying their kids kegs on the weekends are doing anything wrong.

    Any parent that does such a thing is simply afraid of being hypocrtical. They are more than likly alcoholics. The "do as I say, not as I do" mentality has been lost from such a home. Obviously such "parents" never have and never will know the first thing about parenting.

    If you're gonna tell me the "do as I say, not as I do" mentality doesnt work, and that parents should "set an example" then you simply have an arrogent personality, possibly inherited from your parents...
