  1. Oblig. Terminator quote on What Web Surfers Can Find Out About You · · Score: 1

    "You're dead, honey!"

  2. Re:Congrats on The Mouse Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    Color and number them. Then make a miniature pool table.

  3. Re:Do you live in a van down by the river? on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    3 years of college, no degree. 17 years in IT. I am among 33 System Administrators that support 7,000 + UNIX and Linux servers enterprise-wide for a leading drug retailer. Nothing I learned in college even applies to what I do for living. I would say, depending on the company, getting a sysadmin job is easier than you think. When in the interviews, talk up your UNIX or Linux experience. It will go a long way.

  4. Re:Quick question on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Probably because we do not have the right to clone someone?

  5. My company uses USA Mobility on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1
  6. Re:I'm a dad on Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All · · Score: 1

    Your argument is illogical. Not everyone has the same medical issues. Not everyone has the same jobs that pay well, like yours. Some people's medical problems far exceed their ability to pay. Or if they can pay at all. And if by neighbors paying the medical bills, you mean Medicaid, if they worked they paid into it just like you. You've obviously never fallen on hard times before.

  7. Re:I prefer C-SPAN for live, too. on Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well thanks for confirming that you are, indeed, a caveman.

  8. Re:Gah on No Space Porn (For Now) · · Score: 1

    That was probably when Viagra became a neccessity.

  9. Re:Or, put bck the whole Tech support on The Stigma of a Tech Support Background · · Score: 3, Funny

    "And since you are a "computer engineer" (which hopefully means 4 year degree and not some devry bullshit [in that case, leave it off entirely])."

    Hey fuck you, you insensitive clod! I went to DeVry. And since graduating in 1990, I've had a prolific career in IT. I continue to have companies and recruiters phoning or emailing me daily or weekly with job opportunities.

    Other than that, you've made excellent good points.

  10. Re:Yeah, Blu-Ray didn't win. on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Um, eBay? There is someone looking for that very Laserdisc that you're trying to get rid. Life is weird like that.

  11. Re:He would be a lot more interesting on 7th-Grader Designs Three Dimensional Solar Cell · · Score: 1

    No. It was Real Genius. It was towards the middle of the movie when Val Kimer's character goes to his professor to tell him he's not working on the laser anymore. He then goes up to the "neice" and says, "If there's anything I can do for you, or more to the point, to you..." to which she says, "Can you hammer an 8" nail through a board with your penis?" He says, "No." She says, "A girl has to have her standards." Later on, he interrupts his professors tryst with the "niece" to inform him that he'd solved his power problem for the laser. The prof then dismisses the "neice", to which Kimer's char says, "Guess you'll hammer later". Real geeks know this movie by heart. It is cannon.

    Don't hate the player, hate the game.

    You must be new here. Penis size is irrelevant.
    And yes, I keep telling myself that.

  14. Re:And we already know who is the ISP on Wi-Fi, Now Available On the ISS · · Score: 1

    Actually, its the new "at&t".

  15. Re:Fun on Full Facial Transplant Is One Step Closer · · Score: 1

    I hate to be a buzz-kill about your other-wise hilarious joke, but... Due to the agonizing pain you'd be in because you just had muscle and skin tissue grafted onto your face, you would most likely be heavily sedated for days and hospitalized even longer. Thus, missing the donor's wake and funeral.

  16. Re:Duty Roster on Research Suggests Polygamous Men Live Longer · · Score: 2, Funny

    You've listed 2 Wife#3s. But that OK. Its a 2 week rotation. :-)

    Stop that.

  21. I hate NAS on What NAS To Buy? · · Score: 1

    HATE 'em. Now. Just kidding. Actually, I got a Linksys EFG80. I wonder if can get FreeNAS to work on it.

  22. Torrents on Working With 2 ISPs For Home Networking? · · Score: 1

    Oh knoes!!! The torrents have failed! Better get at&t, comcast, and verizon on the line.
