Re:So much for my business
Talk about a choice between Giant Douchebag and Turd Sandwich...
Give me a Sandwich and a Douchebag, and there is nothing I cannot do.

Boston Globe April 1998:Yesterday Boston-based Gillette introduced Mach3, a men's three-bladed razor that it described as its most important product launch since the 1971 debut of Trac II, the world's first twin-blade razor.

Cuomo (played by Phil Hartman): "I have mob ties!""the frontrunners like Cuomo bailed in early '92 when Bush I had a 90% approval rating, leaving the surprising win to Bill."
Sometimes Saturday Night Live does a great job of showing (by exaggeration) the political climate of the time. Case in point: "Campaign '92: The Race To Avoid Being The Guy Who Loses To Bush":
---
Sen. Bill Bradley (Kevin Nealon): What about me? If Lloyd wants to talk about lack of substance, I say what about me? I'm an ex-jock. End of story. The fact is, Lloyd is one of the finest minds in the Senate! In fact, he reminds many of us of another great democrat - John F. Kennedy.
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (Kiefer Sutherland): Sen Bradley, I knew Jack Kennedy.. I worked with Jack Kennedy.. I am no Jack Kennedy.
Sen. Bill Bradley: Senator, that was uncalled for.
...Gov. Mario Cuomo (Phil Hartman): Sen. Bentsen, I resent the suggestion that you are somehow more the candidate of Willie Horton than anyone else here! The fact is, as governor of New York, I have pardoned criminals far worse than Willie Horton! Including key figures in organized crime, who happen top be close friends of mine! Yes! I'm talking about the mob!
...[closing statements]
Moderator: And now, Sen. Bentsen.
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: I'm old.. and I'm only gonna be getting older. Older and more confused. Hell, I can't tell you all the names of the people that are standing right here. One thing I can tell you, is that George Bush would beat the living bejebus out of me. He's done it before, just ask a couple friends of mine - Michael Dukakis and Willie Horton.
Moderator: And, finally, Gov. Cuomo.
Gov. Mario Cuomo: Thank you, Fay. Tonight, we've heard a lot about images of perception, about what poll shows what candidate losing by the least to whom at any given time.. Now, I could stand here and talk about the inaccuracy of polling, or the subjective nature of the process - but that's not the real issue here! The real issue is simple - I.. have.. mob ties!

Re:Are you sure?
On this last point, one network admin is quoted: "The changes in Vista are significant enough that we think we can absorb the change going to Macs just as easily as going to Vista."
WRONG!
Yeah. The entire enterprise application base from Win32 to POSIX/Cocoa.
Fire this guy, before he talks to your boss. Jesus! I love Macs - but don't think for a minute that you can use them with smartcards and automatically deployed certificate infrastructures, or any form of distributed policy management, etc. Where is the corporate distribution of packaged software?
This has been my problem with big Linux deployments. If you want badly managed client end-points, go ahead.

Re:Korea is stuck using Microsoft
---that's because at the top of a comment it says who it was written by, and what you did was plagiarism. your attempt to make excuses for it does not in any way change the fact that you passed another's comment off as your own. those of us who are bothered by this may not be able to punish you for your action, but we can mark you as a foe so we know before even reading your comments that you're an asshat.
If you could, you ought to consider WHY I do this? I give coherent arguments on other troll threads (well, I go against what the mainstream thought is) , but why did I copy, VERBATIM, in this post?
It is akin to satire. Dupe article gets dupe threads.. Now why nobody thought of posting dupe posts to my dupes, well, Oh well..
And, on my other trolls (which are ones that hold exactly oposite views of the majority here) do not include copying verbatim, unless quoting. And I didnt even copy any of your stuff (because it wanst considered highest quality), so you have no place to complain.
By the way, whats an Asshat? Is that anal bum cover? -

Reminds me of this . . .http://snltranscripts.jt.org/96/96dbrokaw.phtml Tom Brokaw: Alright. "Gerald Ford is dead today, and I'm gay." Now, wait a minute!
Voice of Producer: What? That'd be a huge story - Ford dying, and you coming out!
Tom Brokaw: But I'm not gay!
Voice of Producer: Today you're not gay, you know.. but then one day you wake up, you like men, and Gerald Ford dies, and we're screwed. Everyone's hearing about it from Dan Rather! -

Sony guts!
The router is $5 plus tax and shipping ($14.10 total) until Nov 8, then it's going to $30, supposedly. It's got Linksys guts in it, so I expect it to be a fairly decent consumer-level piece.
You told me it had Sony guts!

RIDE THE SNAKE
I'm taking those speed pills of yours, and I'm wearing the vibrating heat beads, and by "Riding your Snake", not only have I lost 65 pounds in four days, but guess what? I found out I'm the Devil!

Dr Baker watched over 700 Star Trek episodes -- more than 624 hours
Did she see the episode where Kirk says at a Trek convention;
"You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!"
Kirk said it. Not me. Don't mod me down. -
Re:Barney's got a brand new bag
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a big purple dinosaur. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like the defendant makes fun of big purple rhyming dinosaurs, then he is entitled to no less than two million years in jail. Thank you.

Hey!
If I was a scientist, you know what I would clone? Hot dogs! Think of all the possibilities, Norm! Imagine, a world with...Hey, what's going on?...Imagine...hold on! Imagine a world with an endless supply of hot dogs! You could have a hot dog anytime you wanted! They'd be so abundant, they'd become our currency! 20 hot dogs would equal roughly a nickel, depending on the strength of the yen, I'm not quite sure, but...you know what, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's just keep praying that we can clone one of these hot dogs.

Re:Oh come on now, you can't possibly be serious!!
Sort of like one of the classic SNL skits "masterbrain" was the one where Reagan was totally in control of the Contra situation, speaking fluent arabic to banking contacts to finance the whole thing, doing all the calculations on money on a accountant calculator (or in his head) and keeping all the rest of the cabinet in the dark. http://snltranscripts.jt.org/86/86fmasterbrain.ph
t ml But at the same time the people claiming that Reagan did run the whole contra affair were also saying he was a senile, naive fool. -
Re:4X4 is more a marketing ploy than anything else
They even talked about 8x8 (2x 4 core CPUS). Just 4x4 strikes me as wasted power that the vast majority of enthusiasts would never touch. Most of the time the 2nd core is barely used even now.
Gillette has already created a version of this overkill in shaving:

What is with all the pinkos lately?
IMHO it is better to have missile defense (SDI, Star Wars, whatever you choose to call it) than to not have it. If only to provide it to American allies such as Taiwan, Israel, Japan, South Korea, etc. Also, it's a great jobs program for smart Americans. Additionally, there are bound to be handy spinoffs.
Yeah it won't keep out the suitcase/shipping container nukes. So what, move out of the major cities until another strike hits, so we can then turn everything from Morocco to Pakistan into an elongated glass crater, I'll bring the marshmallows. -

Re:My sincere apologies...Pure comedy gold, my friends, with apologies to SNL Transcripts:
Alex Trebek: [ shakes head ] Let's just go with Foreign Flicks for $800. [ Connery buzzes in. ]
Sean Connery: Ursula Andress.
Alex Trebek: What?
Sean Connery: Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve, and Charo, twice.
Alex Trebek: That's Foreign Flicks, Mr. Connery. Foreign Flicks. Mr. Reeves, why don't you pick?
Keanu Reeves: I shall take Balloons for $800, if you please.
Alex Trebek: That's not a category.
Keanu Reeves: My mistake. I shall choose Balloons for $600.
Alex Trebek: I tell you what, let's do Colors That End in Urple. For $800. This color ends in "urple". [ Swank buzzes in. ] Hilary Swank.
Hilary Swank: What is light urple?
Alex Trebek: [ shakes head ] Wow. [ Reeves buzzes in. ] Keanu Reeves.
Keanu Reeves: I will venture a guess. Who is Jaleel White?
Alex Trebek: What?
Keanu Reeves: Is that not the gentlemen who played Urple, the humorous fellow with the glasses who loves cheese?
Alex Trebek: That's Urkel! [ Connery buzzes in. ] Oh good, Mr. Connery wants to say something.
Sean Connery: I thought of some more foreign ladies I snogged.

Re:My sincere apologies...
The ones with Norm Macdonald doing Burt Reynolds were gold. Midway through this sketch, Burt Reynolds changes his name to "Turd Ferguson".
Alex Trebek: That's not the right answer. [ Reynolds buzzes in ] Burt Reynolds.
Burt Reynolds: That's not my name.
Alex Trebek: Okay. Turd Ferguson.
Burt Reynolds: [ laughs ] Yeah, what do ya want?
Alex Trebek: You buzzed in!
Burt Reynolds: No I didn't.
Alex Trebek: Yes you did!
Burt Reynolds: Yeah, well, that's your opinion.

Damage Pre- or Postmortem?
The article didn't say much about the damage or how it was ascertained that it was not a postmortem marking from scavangers. (Ever see a big buzzard chow down on a carcass? They tear the crap out of it). They also steal from each other carting off verious pieces (like the skull). Say monkeys (or some pre-humanoid critter with an unpronounceable name) had some ritual where they were creeped out by the dead still eyes of the recently departed--what if they liked to poke 'em out with some stoney object they made/found? Or maybe The Falconer set the steely talons of Donald upon his mortal enemy--the pre-humanoid critter with an unpronounceable name, feasted upon his worm monkey brains, and thus, drove him to extinction!
Science like this begins where you assume something is true and you run with the theory--and if you can't find any evidence that goes against your theory, everyone congratulates you on your brilliant discovery. Perhaps a new technique down the road will prove this one wrong like this one refutes the sabor tooth tiger mauling. I think the damage could have easily been done postmortem by scavangers--unless they can prove otherwise with necropsy details. Although, with a 2 million year old cold case, it's anyone's guess.
