I made a steaming upload not half an hour ago. What did I eat for supper again??

Going out on a limb here, but I think you probably had barbecue...

Speed traps, OK. Enabling drunk driving by posting traps? I'm not so sure I agree with that one.

It's a viscous cycle and Dice has no incentive to stop it.

Short story even shorter: Dice runs the site. Dice profits from not removing spam posts.

I guess Dice is throwing stuff at the site and is waiting to see what sticks?

Adding a person to the mailroom is a cheap way to make 500 employees a lot happier, so they will work for you instead of someone else if everything else is equal.

Sure, if the place you work for has the money to do this. The situation is where we work, we don't, and we can't get funding for a position like that. Quite a few people started to use work as the delivery address, and the higher-ups passed a new policy for no personal packages allowed to be delivered at work - they are flat-out refused. We don't have a dedicated mail person and never will.

In my specific case, I order stuff all the time for work and have it delivered (including from Amazon, NewEgg, and other sites) so if I were to order one personal package it would not likely be noticed. However, the other 99% of staff need to order through someone else and don't have that luxury.

Or they could get into the cell phone market with a Nintendo-branded phone. That would be kind of interesting to see what kind of innovation they could bring to a phone. Seeing as the casual gamers on phones have been affecting them it's probably their only choice.

which are designed to require a custom Bose equalizer to sound decent

Uh, what? I just looked and they come with an equalizer. To me, that sounds like engineering fail - that sounds like they've slapped a band-aid on something that shouldn't have gone to market. Bizarre. I guess that phrase I heard a while back is true if their speakers need their own equalizer - "No high, no lows... it's Bose"

No kidding. Set up a file server with NFS and use an Intel NUC at the TV installed with xbmc (and/or mythtv.) Intel themselves has instructions for setting up their NUC with xbmc using Linux Mint. The newer NUCs even have an IR receiver built in so all you need is a MCE remote (or a Harmony) and you're set.

That's all I've got, for the life of me I can't figure out how to attach it to a computer without someone noticing.

"Hi, this is Microsoft Tech Support. We've noticed you have a problem with your computer. We are sending someone over to fix it."

Windows 7 did move around a bunch of things, especially in the control panel. And of course this followed suit with the registry which impacts group policy - this means that you had to have two GPOs (one for XP, one for W7) to do something as basic as setting and enforcing a screen saver. Talk about a manageability mess.

My experience with Windows 8 was horrid. Yes, Metro is very annoying to a desktop user, but they've just plain removed things from Windows 8, like the ability to remove a saved wifi connection. There's no GUI way that I could find to remove it, I had to use the terminal to list and remove a saved connection using netsh. What the hell were they thinking? And this is just ONE example that I've noticed with Windows 8.

That's just a way to make everyone hate baked beans! Power of association and all...

Just buy some carbon credits and you'll be back in the green.

And here I thought you were bringing Microsoft into the discussion!

When I upgraded to a 25mbit connection, my WRT54GL just couldn't handle the traffic anymore. Even under moderate use - one computer downloading something would cause the internet on all other devices to "disappear".

I'd probably still be using it today if I still had my old 6mbit connection.

When you see what they really look like you'll wish the resolution was 320x200.

Naw, wouldn't pooping in space be called a floater?
