    People who describe themselves as audiophiles tend to be the kind of people who think that spending > $1000 for a speaker wire will improve the quality of their sound. They're really not worth paying attention to.

  2. Deep linking to a single post can work by foistboinder · · Score: 2, Informative · on Google Revises Usenet Search

    I had a link to usenet post in a recent blog entry. Try this (sometimes there's a server error, but otherwise it seems to work). The trick is to click on "Show Original" and use that link.

  3. Bush can go Cheney himself by foistboinder · · Score: 1 · on U.S. Programmers An Endangered Species?

    Didn't Bush tell us to go to a community college and educate ourselves so we can get higher paying jobs?

    My response: Bush can go Cheney himself

    Glick wouldn't stop talking and pressing his points, essentially filibustering.


    What is the point of an interview if not to get the guest's views? I don't care about the host's opinion! We see them every day (and hear them on the radio)! O'Reilly has a segment on his show where he gets his own soap box, save it for then.

    Glick was talked over, and over, and over, repeatedly. That's the weakest and lamest excuse for a "filibuster" if indeed he was trying to make one. He had a few points he wanted to make, but certainly did not appear to want to control the show.

    Just one horrible incident is enough for a high-profile person to lose all credibility (remember Dean? Yee-haw!). Why should it be any different for O'Reilly, who's repeatedly demonstrated a complete lack of tact and social grace (yes, I don't like him because he's a blowhard).

    Maybe 99% of what he says is true. Maybe not. But if you're going to an interview a guest, don't assume how their recently murdered father would feel about current politics, don't talk over your guests, and try listening to people instead of being afraid they're "pushing an agenda".

    It's really sad to see a hostile interview, not because of the guest, but because of the host.

    president: Bill O'Reilly

    This Bill O'Reilly? Why would anyone want to vote for a clown with such skewed view of reality?

    I think that this is what you are looking for....

    Next time try a clue, or a google search or something.

  9. Not a conspiracy, just the power of blogs by da_anarchist · · Score: 2, Interesting · on President Bush To Call For Return To Moon?

    Woah, stop with the conspiracy theories. This actually all came about as a result of a coordinated effort by one particular blog. They decided to create the "Miserable Failure Project" and asked for their readers to stick in a link to this page to establish a link between Dubya and the term "miserable failure", which has worked out exactly as they hoped. There is more info at that link if you're interested in the juicy details.
