  1. Re:for technical skilled people on 12/7 and Overtime on a Salary? · · Score: 1

    I've repiped significant amounts of my house and I've also laid a lot of wire 120 and 240, and I can put up sheet rock or a porch with the best or worst of them, I also know almost none of my neighbors can, it's not unskilled work, but I wouldn't even come close to comparing it to coding or sysadmining.

    The biggest problem I've seen with unions are when membership is mandatory and I have no direct say in my own wage or health care yet I am required to pay dues to some groups that supposedly talks on my behalf.

  2. Re:M.U.L.E. on Games That Should Be Remade · · Score: 2, Informative

    there is a clone (supposedly very bad) called Space HoRSE

    Holistic Robotic Slave Engineer = HoRSE is even worse than M.U.L.E. = Multi Use Labor Element

    sorry, no OSS projects that I know, and I've been looking, I had a friend working on making a Java clone but he got bored and went on to other stuff (I'm no programmer)

  3. M.U.L.E. on Games That Should Be Remade · · Score: 4, Insightful

    M.U.L.E. was in my opinion the best game ever, I would love to see it remeade with TCP/IP multiplayer and longer game times.

    There is an Atari 400/800 emu called Atari800WinPlus that uses a server called kaillera to tie multiple peopel together so you can play the original atari version, tho kaillera seems to also be popular for MAME games.

  4. Re:Rules for crappy movies (slightly off topic) on Remember The Wizard? · · Score: 1

    the thing remake was pretty good too

    one of the major problems with the tom clancy movies is they rewrite them too much, ryan never kills the irish terrorist in patriot games the book, the guy sits on death row for years before finally being put to death by the system, clear and present danger was a terrible movie and the sum of all fears with ben affleck has almost nothing in connection with the book

  5. Re:Rules for crappy movies (slightly off topic) on Remember The Wizard? · · Score: 1

    the first blues brothers movie was excellent too

  6. Re:It's just us on Cable TV Ruins Bhutan · · Score: 1

    no, you're wrong, there may be no intelligent life on your planet, but don't rule out mine

    tho you certainly proved your point that there's no intelligent life on your planet by switching your and you're

  7. You shouldn't use otaku to refer to other people on SNK Vs Capcom Beta Draws Frenzied Fans · · Score: 1

    It's ok if you want to refer to yourself as an otaku, but to many people it can be a very extreme insult, so you might want to watch how you use it.

  8. Re:Someone's gonna say it... on AOL Bridges AIM and ICQ · · Score: 1

    well i know you can be logged into yahoo twice, not sure about being logged into aim twice tho

  9. Re:Download caps on broadband on The Australian Broadband Disaster · · Score: 1

    you mixed you 4 and your 5 on the CDN, according to yahoo currency 4US = 5.4CDN

  10. Re:Tell people not to do it? on Rogue Access Point Detection? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just like telling people not to run attachments, most employees seem to do what they want to do especially if you tell them bad things will happen.

  11. Re:The joke's on them... on .ZIP Standard to Fragment? · · Score: 1

    winrar also does iso images, bz2 and uue and jar, about the only thing it doesnt do is stuffit

  12. Re:What My Organization Did: on Which Red Hat Should Be Worn in the Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    I use Windows 2k on my home desktops and FreeBSD on my home servers, I received the 120 day demo of Win2k3 Server and was pleasently surprised, much better than XP, now if only they would release a consumer version of it as the 800$ price tag is a bit much.

  13. Re:No kidding on Running Linux On Acer's C100 Tablet PC · · Score: 1

    Or the way Apple did to crush BeOS on the Mac platform.

  14. Re:This took forever. on Samba 3.0 Beta Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The alphs version was actually pretty decent too and Webmin already has support for it.

  15. Re:2 questions... on Walmart to Push RFID · · Score: 1

    mod parent up please, very insightful

  16. Re:Seriously on Chicken Run · · Score: 2, Funny

    because there isn't much of a back page

    it could be dumped to section, but almost no one reads those unless you have the collapse section option turned on which makes everything front page

  17. Re:Too bad. on Justin Frankel Resigns From Nullsoft · · Score: 1

    WASTE was up for one day(until the lawyers could find out), Winamp and ICQ have been out for years, I think there's a bit of difference in the two

  18. Re:Uhh on Aimee Deep Interview · · Score: 1

    are you kidding? fark has always been way better than slashdot

  19. Re:Ok... on UK Police Expand License Plate Camera Systems · · Score: 1

    By extension why have license plates at all.

  20. Re:You sir, are obviously not a drinker on Absolute OpenBSD · · Score: 4, Interesting

    James Bond drinks vodka martini's, the food network has a show and they were talking about how the Smirnoff distillery was backing the movies so they modified to drink to add vodka to it

    some random page about vodka martinis

  21. Re:warez? on Warcraft III Expansion Goes Gold, Due July 1st · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I suspect some of the orders may be for unoffical "bundling" to get people to buy both at the same time, buy 2 for 1 kind of thing maybe even throw in a strategy guide or two.

    I used to like Blizzard but the quality of their games has just gone too far down lately, Starcraft was the last good game they made (Broodwar was a waste) oooh 3d in War3, uh ok Total Annihilation had that when Starcraft came out and look at where Cavedog is today, they would have been better off with the spitey goodness that Starcraft was, shrug.

  22. bad thing on Guthrie Cards - Australia's DNA Database · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's a truly bad and evil thing that crimes are being solved, wouldn't want that to happen anywhere else.

    You don't own your DNA, you are just borrowing it from the human race.

  23. Re:I was a tester for this game on RTCW: Enemy Territory Full Version Released · · Score: 1

    That's really old hardware? I'll gladly trade you some of my brand new hardware for your really old hardware.

    You most likely won't want to though.

  24. Re:Does it mater all that much? on Replacing WEP with IPsec on OpenBSD, Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Most home applications don't really need much more than WEP if even that much, but some corporations are setting up WAP and WEP is pretty worthless there if you want to provide access to the internal network since that's where all the nice files reside.

  25. Re:Good naming strategy on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 2, Funny

    well OS X v10.2 was already taken
