  1. In other words on Telecommuting Can Be Bad For Those Who Don't · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The people who never really produce anything on their own, instead manipulating others to do their work for them & taking credit for that work, can't do that with less people around.

  2. Wrongo on Young IT Workers Disillusioned, Hard to Retain · · Score: 1

    One of the "byproducts" of more efficient communications is employees who learn quicker. Managements own strategies have backfired on them.

    It's just like the old man who tells you about how in his day he had to trek through 3 feet of snow to get to school everyday. We just don't have to do that anymore, thanks to him doing that and learning to build cars for everyone. Now step aside gramps, before we stick your grumpy old ass in a home.

  3. Bring 'em on ! on Body Heat Could Charge Your Cellphone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm always up for a heated discussion.

  4. Re:Downsides on Body Heat Could Charge Your Cellphone · · Score: 4, Funny

    This will sound funny, but, that's perfectly natural.

    I'm sure plenty of people here have at one point thought that way about your mom.

  5. Backfire on Domains May Disappear After Search · · Score: 1

    Anyone up for flooding the Internet with whois requests so these automated processes register up a ton of crap domains & burn up all their funding ?

  6. Re:Idiotic on Chuck Norris Sues Publisher, Tears Don't Cure Cancer · · Score: 1
    I'm calling BS, when I tried a whois all I got was

    Roundhouse kick to the face !
    Followed by a BSOD, on a Debian box, with no monitor.
  7. I've always heard Dell suck, but now I know why on Dell's Linux, IT Re-Invention · · Score: 1

    I've heard about how much Dell sucks for years, rarely have I ever heard anything good about them. I think I've met two people who were happy with their Dell experience.


    Ironicly enough, I was just on my way here to submit a story about a guy who can't even use his own Dell credit line, even though he's already purchased laptops for his kids Christmas presents. Then I saw this story, sad.

  8. Kids lie on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Kids lie. Not all of them, but enough that the teachers have to assume innovation is an attempt at an excuse.

    The solution, kick the shit out of your kids when they lie.

  9. Re:Pandora's box on Beamed Sonic Advertising Is Coming · · Score: 3, Funny

    That would be almost as fun as sitting in a strip club with a miniature version & beaming a manly voice into the ear of a guy getting a lapdance as she leans over to see if he wants to go up stairs.

  10. Brilliant ! on Nanorobots for Drug Delivery? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Man will never catch those little guys. It's probably going to take me a year to get a buz though.

  11. Re:$25,000 for disaster recovery? on What If Yoda Ran IBM? · · Score: 2, Funny

    What does that have to do with Yoda running IBM ?

  12. Re:Reinventing the wheel on The PHP Anthology 2nd Edition · · Score: 1

    I like to think that if we didn't spend soo much time reinventing the wheel, we'd have flying cars by now.

  13. Re:Uninstall Adobe's product and... on Yahoo, Adobe To Serve Ads In PDFs · · Score: 1

    Adobe will do a bit of work up front to get this going, then they'll be able to sit back & collect a check for the most part after that.

    Yahoo appears to be doing the heavy maintenence as far as taking care of the ads. Publishers create the content. Adobe just has to make sure it works, & patch security holes when they show up.

  14. Re:I read that as... on Yahoo, Adobe To Serve Ads In PDFs · · Score: 1

    I dunno, you should probably see a doctor, you know just in case.

  15. Re:Can someone please expain on First Details of Manned Mars Mission From NASA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think allowing someone to go on a suicide mission to Mars defeats the entire purpose of going to Mars in the first place.
    Mars isn't a war to be won, it's a quest for humanity.

  16. Re:Weight of food to carry decreased by FAT astron on First Details of Manned Mars Mission From NASA · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you thought that female astronaut who drove across country in a diaper was crazy, just wait untill you see what happens when you send a fat man into space with no food.

  17. 2031 on First Details of Manned Mars Mission From NASA · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm scheduled to be alive for this, Awesome !

  18. Re:Harvard Can't possibly have copyright on Creationists Violating Copyright · · Score: 1

    Oh it'll be there, it's just going to be called somthing else & not be accessible to you because you payed into "Social Security" not "New Program".

  19. Re:It was planned. on Creationists Violating Copyright · · Score: 5, Funny

    It all makes sense now.

    God didn't create the world, God stole the Devils' science project !

  20. Re:If that is true... on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 2, Funny

    exfoliating

    Well now, that's a word I never thought I'd see here.
    I'm a little hesitant to welcome our new exfoliating overloards.
  21. Re:They followed my email address on Online Nicknames Google better than Real? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is the reason I use separate business and personal emails.

    Same here, it used to be such a pain in the ass when bank managers would ask me if I knew anything about "cr3d17_h4ck3r@h4x0rs.com".
  22. Damn you Norris ! on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 3, Funny

    On Haloween Chuck Norris tried to scare himself while looking in the mirror.
    However since the resulting implosion of the universe was not able to account for the presense of Chuck Norris, it simply reset.

  23. Re:If that is true... on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you keep doing that you'll go blind.

  24. LAN Party ! on Intel Considering Portable Data Centers · · Score: 1

    If there were to be a Woodstock today, the center piece would be a portable data center with highpower wireless antennas mounted to the roof.

    People would be paying $100 for juice, but not because they're thirsty, rather because their laptop battery is almost dead.

  25. Re:Change time on Vote To Eliminate Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    Everyone will have 1024 bit processors by then !
