    Core hours are 10am-4pm, if we do more than 8 hours in a day, we can even keep those in a timebank, and use a block of 4, or 8 banked hours for half or full days off.

  5. my VCR & Tapes stay for a while on Variety Declares VHS Dead · · Score: 1

    My VCR is my tuner, my PC/PS2/Cable is routed through this box. This box stays for a while, are there any "low cost" DVD recorder/tuner devices out there?
    Some of these dvdrecorders look cool and all but, my VCR cost me $40. It has 1 SVideo input 3 RCA inputs, 2 RF cable inputs, 1 RF cable out, 1 RCA out I have no HiDef equipment sorry :P I also have tons of VHS movies, am I suppose to just throw all of these away and buy DVDs to replace them? Or what the MPAA doesn't want, use my video capture cards & convert them to DVD myself although this is a time versus boredom issue, one day it may happen.

  6. Re:It's that bad... on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Where's Starcraft 3... Starcraft: Ghost... Hell I'll even take "World Of Starcraft" But really, SC:Ghost shouldn't have been scraped, it should have been rebuilt as a Multiplayer FPS Keep the storyline of Ghost for single player. Allow full playability of all other characters types.

  9. Similar sites, and my experiences on RentACoder Losing Street Cred? · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.kasamba.com/ (they have more than just a "technical" advice area)
    http://elance.com/
    http://www.scriptlance.com/

    Personally these sites really don't encourage a Buyer/Bidder relationship, and I have had my accounts on elance, and kasamba, banned for initiating direct contact with my clients. Ofcourse talking through the vale of secrecy and the worst e-mail systems ever concocted by a webcoder are always the best means of communications with clients.
    As these sites want there Buyers to keep posting more projects so they can continue to leech money from both sides out of either in monthly membership fees, posting fees, and percentage of earnings fees.

  13. Hired via Solve the Riddle on Will the Solve-the-Riddle Hiring Trend Affect IT? · · Score: 1

    I was asked to login thru a VNC system & solve various technical problems within different network environments. In the end, I was offered the position. During the interview one, the CEO stated, "You passed the test, you have nothing to worry about." The interview still had all the questions about previous experience, and education.

  14. Sony Delays PS3, NASA Delays shuttle launch... on Sony Promises 1M PS3s This Year · · Score: 1

    Are Sony's exploding batteries powering the Shuttle? Maybe they require some blinky Blue LEDs!

  15. Sound drivers still suck... on Windows Vista RC1 Impresses Critics · · Score: 1

    I spin the volume control wheel on my keyboard... the stupid OSD that is built in to windows seems to really screw stuff up... It can't properly draw on the screen, the sound skips as it goes up each bar, and if you move the wheel more than 3 ticks at once, the entire sound sub system crashes and no more sound til you logout/login. Atleast they made it so you don't have to reboot when the drivers fall in the toilet.

    The Imation DiscStakka, I've been hoping they come out with a 1000 disc holder w/ Reader built in

    But currently each unit only holds 100 discs, which can be stacked in 5's, It comes with a nice indexing software, although the units have to eject the CD & have you put it into your computers CD or DVD rom drive as there is no built in reader.

    The lack of documentation on OSS projects is bad enough without having to spend an hour just trying to figure out what the software even DOES.
