  3. Re:levitation on Flying Micro-Robot Takes Off · · Score: 0

    I think a better description would have been "magnetically positioned".

  4. Re:It was free on Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin · · Score: 0

    Nimoy was a client of the entertainment law firm that I used to work at in LA. Other stars would come in, and I wouldn't even notice, but when he came in, I was a bit star struck.

  5. I think... on Conviction of Sen. Ted Stevens Is Thrown Out · · Score: 0

    He's got something on someone.

  6. Welding on Best Grad Program For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 0

    The best grad program (these days) is your local welding school. Example: my friends have two sons. One is finishing his 4-year program at a major University and the other is finishing welding school (~1yr). The college grad has ZERO offers, and is therefore considering grad school. The other has multiple offers at $40-$50/hr.

    AIG, otoh, is getting billions more. There is no balance.

  9. Re:I'd imagine that's part of the reason on Best FOSS Help Desk Software For Small Firms? · · Score: 0

    I used to work at a place where there was one other sysadmin and myself. The other sysadmin demanded something similar to your draconian way, thinking all questions were stupid and all users were non-thinking idiots and DEMANDED that they submit a ticket via email or OTRS. OTOH, I would gladly field questions any time, anywhere (which really pissed him off). At least I realized that the people asking questions were on the front lines of the company's revenue generating efforts and didn't always have time to "figure out" their technology issues. Interestingly, along comes a downsize and suddenly we don't need two sysadmins; one will do. I was asked to stay, and the info Nazi was asked to leave. Just my $.02US.

  10. Re:Euphemism? on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 0

    No, baby submarines come from the flying Manta Ray who drop them down hydrothermal vents on the Ocean floor.

  12. Re:Survey says.... on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 0

    So I guess using a perfectly legal copy of Windows 7 Beta is just no fun at all?

  13. Re:Cisco vs. Wash DC? on US CTO Choice Down To a Two-Horse Race · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is this a joke? Really? I think that Slashdot's being redirected to The Onion, I swear.

  18. Obligatory on Carbon Dioxide and Water Found On Exoplanet · · Score: 0

    I bet the women there are.... HOT!

  19. Why they closed: on Circuit City Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They didn't close because the economy sucks. No. They closed because we can shop for consumer electronics from sites like Tiger and NewEgg and get better prices, to boot. People aren't buying less consumer electronics, they're buying less from overpriced stores like CC. Good riddance.

    One more thing - when is your going-out-of-business sale?

    Helpful Hint for the Air Force: Don't outsource your IT to India or Russia or China just because they're the lowest bidder.
