    will they be in 3d or will we have to wait 10 years for them to be "improved with 3d technology"?

    Ever heard the term "correlation not causation"?

    maybe the marriages already had problems, porn was just used as a scapegoat because it was there. Wife doesn't want to put out? well, the computer will. Then the wife gets pissy. hmmmm

  5. Re:Airlink wasn't very practical.. on Robotic Squirrels Battle It Out With Rattlesnakes · · Score: 1

    so.... to connect this to the topic of the article, um... when an Airlink is confronted with a rattlesnake, its defense mechanism is to cause you to walk over to it, thus causing excess heat to buildup and scare away the snake, or at least get you bitten instead of the airlink?
    that's quite a leap you made, but i guess it makes sense!

  11. Re:Obama doesn't oppose SOPA/PIPA on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    Do you really think both houses have the 66% plurality to override the President?!

    Obama could end it now just by saying, affirmatively, that he’d veto it.

    That works great unless republicans win the next election, then they can do whatever they want. It's best to squash this idea altogether now and get it through their heads that we dont want this. not now, not ever. If the president just veto's it and it's over, then they will just play it down as politics and keep it on a backburner.

  16. where to begin.... on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Lets see, i'm a fire alarm technician where we have about 40 buildings networked together.
    We wanted to upgrade our network and the easiest way to do it would be to set up our own wireless mesh network. Our IT department said "no, wireless networks are our business and you cant set up your own" even though ours would operate on the emergency channels and have nothing to do with them. They whined to management and now we cant set up our stuff.
    So they said "hey, use our network (internet)" ok, so we gave that a try. One big problem, when the building loses power, it loses it's internet, and we cant have our panels not monitored. so now we are stuck using phone lines with internet as a backup.
    And half the time they cant even do a simple thing like provide a jack with a set IP address for us. They even tried to take away admin controls on OUR computers that aren't even hooked up to their network

    if they had just stayed out of it, we would have a very nice and reliable system set up. But i dont hate them, i'm just taking note of all their failures so next time they say "let us do it" i can show how bad of an idea that really is.
