HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! - Are AOL out of their friggin' MINDS?? Has anyone here EVER phoned AOL tech support and spoken to someone with a brain? Who the fark would actually PAY for the privilege of being talked down to by an ignorant neanderthal? We can do that for free - just phone Dell support....

What's truly sad is I STILL get customers who truly and honestly believe that the ONLY way to get on the internet is via AOL... Of course these are the same people who cannot understand why a computer with a Dual Core processor and 2-3 GB of RAM comes crashing to a halt whenever the AOL interface starts up (which is usually 30-50 seconds after you log into Windows)... -unrenowned
I know right, they're all like: But I like AOL, I'm used to is. But you never hear someone say: I like my kidney stone, it's comfortable and farmiliar. -CallmeBob
All this means is that anyone here with AOL as their home ISP will now try to get US to support their home PC issues... -CommanderData

I've only been seeing this gun for the past year, already :) And that is NOT a Vulcan - it's only got one barrel. </nitpick> -Seamus
I know what I'm getting for my birthday (October) this year...now the kids will truly fear me. -Starfury
Only $40? I'm in. -BarmanVarn
Does it come with a USB cable, targeting software and motorized tripod? -formatCdrive
It shows up in that office warfare video, which leads to suspicion that was a piece of advertising. Doesn't reduce the awesome of it, however. -illiterate
"Dude, I think I just filled the cup." -unrenowned
Illiterare - you mean this? http://gizmodo.com/5018272/the-great-nerf-office-war -lineswine
nerf guns were banned in my office, people were getting shot while on calls -areatech
that sucks, areatech. We've all learned to continue talking when nerf balls are bouncing off our skulls. -illiterate
Totally inaccurate video. I mean come on, they had the S.A.L.E.S drone chicks being hotter than the I.T. wenches! Never in a million years. -RA

A similar thing happened across the road from where I used to work. GM full size pickup vs a Toyota Camry. The truck won. :) -GeekGirl
Probably a woman driver ;) *runs like hell for lart shelter* -starfishmagnet
So I take it that "not in the mood to give interviews" is Irish for "How the F**K do you think I feel? My car's just been destroyed!!" -virtualchoirboy
My bloody-minded Yank upbringing... I heard the words "45,000 pound Porsche" and my first thought was: Er, That's a damned HEAVY sports car! - Then I realized he was talking about the cost. :D -Seamus

you cannot tell me they didn't see this coming. if you give a human being a tool to create (almost) limitless, lifelike creations, they will immediately head for the most taboo subject, why is a penis objectionable? 50% of the population have one! if the world wasn't so afraid of sex, this wouldn't be a big deal -Tarantulus

I like it. Some addons don't work but I was able to find a beta version of the most important one (Tab Mix Plus) and 2 of the others are AVG. The other one is just a skin so it doesn't matter. -OgdenTechGuy
updated but I had to giggle that the screen shots for installing it were based on IE. -frprinterwiz
I had to get the dev build for Tab Mix Plus myself. The only other addon I have that's not supported is good old Adblock. Hope they fix that one soon. -NightSteel
Got it! Adblock Plus seems to work fine, I don't know if there's a difference. It disables the AVG SafeSearch plugin, but then that might be a good thing. -Rissa

Trent does it again! - Not content to just release the latest Nine Inch Nails album for free, he's also releasing a "sampler" of the opening acts for the upcoming tour - DRM FREE!!! You do have to provide an email, but for the other two downloads I've picked up so far (Ghosts I and The Slip), there have been no spam or "buy this please" emails. [By: virtualchoirboy / 2008-06-06]

*&grin* Yet another reason why I would love to have this man's babies! :P -Ara
I thought it was because he said "I want to f*ck you like an animal"? LOL! Always good when an artist 'gets it', though artists are usually beholden to the labels and have little say in how their music will be distributed. I recall Tom Petty getting into trouble with his label for him trying to give away his product. -Mushroom
Hell, I remember Tom Petty getting into trouble for the 'Roll another joint' lyric...
-Razordance
Fortunately, Trent ditched the label last year and is free to do whatever the heck he wants now. The result is him (and the band) discovering that "free" as part of a business model actually works. They've made more money off of Ghosts than they ever did on a regular album. -virtualchoirboy

I kan haz 3-ft. faceplant? -Seamus
I wonder if that WAS a mission critical server. -Stryker One
Well, no need to fix that unit. I'm guessing he's gonna have a bitch of a time getting Dell to RMA that too -deskmonkey
I think the people in this group are a lot smarter than this dumb@ss to do anything like that. And even if you did do it, do you really think they'd fess up? -Gunpe
Looks like the position of PFY just got an opening... -unrenowned
....NOT IT! -ShujinTribble
Ididntdoitnobodysawmedoitcantproveanything!
Not THIS time!! (VEG) -MadJack
Having worked in many & varied small businesses, you be am amazed how many of them DON'T have any form of kik-step/ladder/whatever available. Granted though, using anything with wheels to kneel or stand on is a one-way trip to failsville. -lineswine
I wonder how much he lost from his paycheck to pay for the server -srteach
Gravity sucks. -MisterCommon
ok, yes, I did stand on my office chair once on a linolium floor to reach the top shelf in my closet, but I never shifted my weight and stayed close to something I could grab onto that was fairly steady. -AdmiralLaurie
First reaction? " @#%$!!! I hope that's not a production server! " ... I guess this is why I'm a techie and not a doctor :P -EtherRabbit
Did this changing a light bulb more than a decade ago in my first apartment. Picked shattered glass out of my hand and arm for hours. The next day I was the proud owner of a shiny new step-ladder that still serves its master! -TechnoTherapist
Was nt me all my servers are fittied with hammer cus the rails wont go in, our shitty comms rack. :-P -r3tude
Personally, I think it was staged. After all, compare the heights involved. The seat of that chair is about the same height as his knees - he gains effectively NO advantage from kneeling on the chair, except the rolling aspect needed for the gag. Still humorous in the entire slapstick context.... -Grue
You've got a point, Grue, but you also need to think about how often someone will not perform the logical action to figure out whether they'll even _be_ taller, after all, you're "standing on a chair", you must be able to reach higher! -Voz
I think he was just lazy, wanted to be off his feet, and so he kneeled on the chair. I know I can relate, I'm always lazy, I hate being on my feet; but he's still a dumbass for letting the chair get away from him. -OgdenTechGuy
it wasn't me, but i'll admit, i would have started to do it. but by the time i got up on the chair my bad idea alarm would have went off and i'd have gotten something better to use -razmann
8:20 am? i don't think so. Clearly Staged. -Ratfor
On a Sunday, no less. -Ratfor
So this is what they mean by bouncing a server. -SwizzleStix

I think position #11 (2nd to last) is the only one I haven't tried -neuman1812
i could add to those :-P -r3tude
12 is very familiar, specially with the older custom cases that dell and compaq used to use. -drachen
I HATE #5 - when the screw finally comes out and all I'm holding is the cover, the rest of the case, power supply, and motherboard slams into my face! -Divinar
Turns out it was metric.. -illiterate
I have used #9, Downward Facing Geek, on numerous occasions.

Weapons of mass...ive weirdness. - Although the good ol' nuke is still teh ahwsome!, others are cool (like the Bat Bombs, something Batman would make); intriguing (dolphins with guns? How about sharks with lasers?); really menacing (stink bombs); or just 'fabulous' (the gay bomb). My personal favorite are the Frisbees of death; particularly if wielded by bikini uniformed female soldiers. [By: TheGhost / 2008-05-17]

Then again, #17 is a conceptual version of the Flaming Anvil Of Death! The downside is that it's powerful enough that it wouldn't be too selective. -Voz
No. 19.OK, so we just don't paint the aircraft & instead polish them highly to a mirror finish. You fire the laser at it...& it bounces right off! -lineswine
For stink bombs, there are some here at TSC that would be classified as WMDs! -Wraith556
I bet #20 would be completely ineffective against Keith Richards... -unrenowned
what about the sharks with frikin laser beams attached to their heads? -razmann
how about the mass drivers the centauri used on Narn? -SGTARKyTEK

Nine Inch Nails - New album - FREE - NiN's new album, "The Slip", is currently available for free in MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless, and higher-than-CD-quality WAV formats. All they ask is an email address to send the download links to, but they promise not to spam (use a spambob.com address anyway). This album has not even been released to stores yet, but vinyl and CD releases are coming. This is off of the official Nine Inch Nails web site, and is completely legal! [By: linuxmatt / 2008-05-05]

trent reznor is my hero. this album is their best since The Fragile, imo. -r3dn3x0r
Love them for putting the "Pay them what you think it's worth." concept into the spotlight. Sure there's jerks out there who think free music, but they proved there's plenty of awesome people willing to pay artists for great music. -LazyLemming
Yet another reason to <3 -Ara
NIN's been my favorite band since 92 when I skipped Spanish class to go get Broken the day it was released. And at the rate of an Album a year lately, the ear candy just keeps coming. Thanks Mr. Reznor! -RA
radio head did the same thing, pay what you think it's worth. they made more money then if it was in a store. -postal tech
NIN nails did this with their Ghosts (instrumental album) to a degree. Release Vol 1 for free, you could get 2-4 for $5, physical CD for $10 on up to the super deluxe special rare limited edition with autographs for $300. They sold out of all 2500 deluxe editions in a few days earning them more on those alone than they make on a first pressing of a CD when under a label. Forget cheese... Behold the power of FREE! -virtualchoirboy
I signed up to do remixes. Back when I started recording music, I wanted to be Charlie Clouser when I grew up. Now's my chance. I'm starting with Demon Seed - I'll post my mix in the breakroom when I finish it :D -veaudaux
Vedeaux: I loved clousers work on the RE:extinction soundtrack. -Tarantulus
Coming to Minneapolis August 2. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. I'll have to wake up early and log onto Ticketmaster. -thx1138
It's *NOT* "Free" - It's "Pay what you think it's worth". Now, for me, I'd like put in a negative number, but the band can't afford to pay me what I think the music is worth ;-) -Divinar
Radiohead may have made more money than releasing the CD - but the "Big Music God" didn't! -Divinar
Actually "The Slip" is 100% free. To quote the site "as a thank you to our fans for your continued support, we are giving away the new nine inch nails album one hundred percent free, exclusively via nin.com." There's not even a link TO pay for it. -LazyLemming
Still waiting for my confirmation via email -Jax
already snagged it, the album are is awesome for the ipod, each song has it's own picture. also found that same day: www.jamendo.com My new source of music.
-drachen
cool downloads and adds to my CD changer

Save us from this monster but don't hurt it! Take whatever measures necessary but don't use any of the available tools! DO SOMETHING but please don't do anything...

Good going on the headshot and solving the problem with Herman (the kids shoulda kept their pet in their room dammit!). -Mushroom

Of course, with the way they write software, it would be Service Pack 3 before the software would stop crashing after realizing that the users are upset with it. No, not a conscience, just confusion. -Voz
They may file the patent, but there are enough legal protections out there to stop that going anywhere near most companies. Thankfully. -CommanderData

Hmmmm, you know, we could figure out a lot of ways to mess with management using this thing. I'm sure this bunch could make some of those monitors do some funky things. -redevil34

Sir! The competence sensors are not reading anything. They must be broken.
No, they are working just fine. There isn't anything to detect here. -torgo

Take a puppy to work, attach the monitor to it. Get puppy excited every once in a while, let it sleep, take it for a walk. etc. -srteach

2007 Darwin Awards - It's that time again. Our favorite starfish in the limelight! [By: AngrySup / 2008-01-13]

I like that they don't reproduce before killing themselves. -Gerund
You do realize the whole point of the Darwin Awards is that someone removed themselves from the gene pool in a spectacularly stupid fashion. If they've reproduced, then it's only an honorable mention. -angrymacface
As a moderator on the Darwin Awards site, I have to correct that. We don't rule out those who have already reproduced, as they may have some valuable genetic material that is expressed in their offspring; some of the sons of starfishes have, after all, the ability to learn, unlike their parents. The HM category is reserved for those who ought to have killed or sterilized themselves through stupidity, but failed to do so through dumb luck. -chazz
Cheap Irony Alert! The sidebar ad showing up is for the (pro-creationist, anti-science) movie 'Expelled'. -MeanDean

All praise Ethan in his vast wisdom! -conundrum
I'd actually say all praise Tim for coming up with Ethan & co but that's just me! Suffice to say that I WILL be celebrating Wintereenmas as it falls shortly after my birthday and I happen to be on holiday at the time. Result! -Loon
I bought the Ctrl+Alt+Delete animated DVD. I think I actually like the comic strip better. The voice acting on the DVD, in my opinion, sucks. -BarmanVarn
Yes... patron holiday of the Church of Gaming. -SiamJetta

(My Old) School Blocks Wikipedia - Just before I left school the network administration team decided to block Wikipedia. The petition is still going on, and it would be much appreciated if as many people as possible would sign it. No fake names, etc, please!
It's not often that I ask a favour of the whole of TSC, but today is that day. Please sign. Thanks. [By: katinahat / 2008-01-03]

We have such great sounding place names here in the UK. Norton Knatchbull... Just fantastic. But yeah, whilst there is a lot of good info on Wikipedia, there's also a lot of badly edited pages. This is probably the reason it was blocked, because the accuracy of information cannot be guaranteed to a high enough standard for an educational establishment. -flapjackboy
Wikipedia is a great tool for teaching kids about the sources of information. Good Wiki articles have citations galore, so you can investigate the original sources and make your own opinions. Too many people these days simply accept what they're told without question. -smellystudent
But it isn't a placename! A quick check shows that it is the name of the school's founder. <grin> -Darkstar2
"It's not often that I ask a favour of the whole of TSC, but today is that day. Please sign." So, in other words, you're asking people to sign the petition when they are not part of the user base affected, and you're therefore demonstrating nothing except your ability to vote-stack, let alone that there is a demonstrable impact on the affected users. Sorry, but if I was the responsible sysadmin a bunch of votes from what are to me internet randoms isn't going to make a jot of difference to the decision as made. if you can't demonstrate a high enough carefactor from the impacted users then I suggest that the problem isn't really as widespead as you make out. -caspian
Caspian: The moment you start censorship you have opened the path to ignorance. -Dr Jerkyl
Sorry, but the blocking of certain websites by schools does not qualify as censorship, IMHO. They're not saying "You can't access this information." They're saying "You can't use school resources to access this information." Subtle but important difference. -RiffRaff
I completely agree with the Riffster. However, at the college I went to, "you can't use school resources to do this" turned into "you can't use school property to say this". Slippery slope effect. The comedy paper I wrote for at the time got in a lot of trouble because of this. I'm glad I was civil rights-pre-law at the time. The school's attorney couldn't threaten us, because I knew the limits of what a public Univ could do re: freedom of speech. -beerman
I'm just annoyed at several of the signatures are so assed. A serious partition and people still have to screw with it. -LazyLemming
Errm.. I mean petition. -LazyLemming
