  1. Ghettopoly on 2004 Board Games Gift Guide · · Score: 1
  2. My company made me go hourly on Fighting for Your Overtime? · · Score: 1

    My company made all of the Systems people go hourly based on a previous lawsuit that they lost regarding some assistant managers. Anyway, After we were made hourly, we all had to fill out a weeks worth of "job diaries" that explained everything we did during the day. This was to determine if we made enough decisions to be declared management/exempt. During this whole thing did some reserch and included some links below. Hope this helps. Oh, and this is in California.

    PS. I stayed hourly and it ended up being a $17000/yr raise with the OT.

  3. Every Police Cruiser in Riverside, CA on California Bans Front-Seat Computer Use · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Every one of these has a laptop docking station. Each officer puts it in every time they are in the car. I don't know what this will mean and I haven't read the article or the law...but it seems like a conflict there.

  4. Re:Similar website? on Grad Student's Work Reveals National Infrastructure · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think they are talking about the Eyeball series at http://www.cryptome.org

    It seems to be down right now...but is on my daily reading list.

  5. direr? on Verizon Set Back Again in DMCA Subpoena Case · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Since you just started receiving email, how much spam do you have already?

    The story might as well have said, "Hey everybody come crash my server"

  11. Conpiracy theory on RFID: The New Big Brother ? · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere (forgive my CRS) that something like this was tested in the food packets we dropped over Afganistan. The author said all there is left to do is play pacman and gobble up all of the blinking dots.

  12. Unique name on Suggestions for Unique Names for a Server Room? · · Score: 1

    I call mine..."The Server Room"

  13. Red Light on Real-Time Collaborative Mapmaking · · Score: 2, Insightful

  14. What I did... on Which IT Certifications for Specific IT Jobs? · · Score: 1

    I also have a BSCS but I went and got a CCIE because I liked the hardware side of the field. (and couldn't code my way out of a box.) With those 2 you should be able to work at any shop with some competence.

  15. Re:Spidey is why I learned to read on Review: Spiderman · · Score: 1

    I think I have had too much "Mary-Jane"...because this whole page is blurry.

    I just move my eyes. This won't help me.

    I got an offer in the mail for a free one of these. Just gotta fill out a survey at http://www.3com.com/customer_first (no html link because I'm lazy). Of course you need a customer code on the post card. *grin*

    I think you may need a calculator...he may need 9 days at 4 hours per day...but I didn't use a calculator either...

  23. Patent enfringement? on 6th Circuit Court: Code Is Speech · · Score: 1

    Although I am against any and all patents, I wonder, can one patent/copywrite the "functional" part while still having the "expressive" part be free speech?

  25. overclocking crusoe?!? on UPDATED: Transmeta's Crusoe Unveiled · · Score: 1

    So if I read this stuff correctly, software upgradable processor. Open-source mobile linux. It should be easy enough to overclock one of these babies with a few lines of code. Then we can create a virus that will enter through this "elusive new internet connection" and fry someone's chip. Gotta love technology!
