  1. Dump the work from home up to $10k a month scam on What Do You Want in a Job Website? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No I do NOT want to work from home giving away free satilite dishes. No I am NOT interested in medical billing nor do I think it is an exciting career. Yet both of these, along with many others like them, come up in a search for information technology jobs on Monster.

  2. Re:Heard this tune before... on Pluto is Much Colder Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Oh, and it's Bush's fault. ... well that's just a given.

  3. Re:Go away or we will taunt you a second time! on Microsoft to Storm Linux Strongholds · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this mean us Linux users get to catapult a cow at Microsoft?

  4. $20 bucks.... plus tax on A Clock That Runs for 10,000 Years · · Score: 1

    This watch shows the time, the day, the date, the year and the altitude. It is so hard to read because one hand is missing and you can't tell if it's the little one or the big one. That's why today is Saturday the 94th of February.... 1610, B.C. Last Wednesday was Easter Sunday on this watch and after dinner my neighbor came over and distributed Christmas gifts..... because he also has one of these watches.

  5. Lowes on Major Retailer Chooses Linux for its Tills · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Lowes hardware do this already? I think they run Redhat on IBM equipment. At least they do for all their special order terminals around the store.

  6. Not new at all on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 1

    I've had the ability to play MP3s on my cell phone for years. In 2001 Samsung had a phone available through sprint called the "Uproar". It held 64megs of MP3s. This was before customizable ringtones were widely available, so it couldn't play the MP3 for a ringtone. It had a set of earbuds that had the player controls and volume on a fob that hung about 1/2 way down your chest or could be clipped onto a sleave. MP3s were copied on using MusicMatch Jukebox. If you recieved a call while listening to music, you could press the center button on the fob and it would pause your music and answer the phone. Once your phone call was complete, it would resume your music where you left off. I upgraded to a Motorola MPX200 in 2003. This is a Windows CE phone so it has Windows Media player built in. It can accept a Compact Flash card. Simply fill the CF card on your PC with your favorite music and go on your way. You are only limited by the size of your CF card. That the Motorola Rokr plays MP3s via an iPod menu interface is just an interesting footnote. It isn't remarkable technology in any way.
