    Microsoft blocks ICMP. Thanks for playing!

    Let's compare relative merits of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, and methcathinone.
    I mean really, sodapop? C'mon, this isn't highschool. Philip K. Dick is rolling over in his grave about this!

    Lack of emotions? This is the problem with you not doing your field research. Your data is inaccurate and your list is far from canonical.

  4. Re:What about SMS? on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    So what is so important that you need to have an SMS conversation during the film? Please enlighten me.
    "Depending on" means that you see my point, because a lot of them are like f-ing searchlights.
    How about if I read a book with a maglight? Is that ok too? Or listen to a walkman really loud?

  5. Re:A Simple Solution on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately this would require movie theaters to hire more ushers, which they will not do. If there were more ushers in the ushing, there would be people escorted out for talking too. It ain't gonna happen. That's why you have to wade through an hip deep pile of popcorn and trash to get to your seat. They already have your money, they couldn't care less if you hear it or see it.
    If they gave a damn, there would be no laser pointers in there either.
    Laser pointers and cell phones should be a beatable offense in the theater. I sat for ten minutes once shining my mini maglite in some twit's face that couldn't keep his laser pointer in his pocket. This method is not for everyone, as I am a real prick and like to fight, but I bet he won't do that again.

  6. Re:Unconstitutional on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    Really? Which article of the Constitution? I was just reading it and I can't find that in there anywhere, how you have the right to be an obnoxious prick in the theater. You already can't yell "fire" in there, so be careful how you answer.

  7. Re:What about SMS? on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    I assume you are reading and entering your SMS via braille, right? Because the light can be a tad bit infuriating.
    I will respect your right to flash lights in the theater if you will respect my right to pour cola all over you electronics.

  8. More importantly on Mutant Gene Responsible for Speech? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long it will be beforea a tlaking dog can have you?
    I would think that our species holding onto this planet it pretty tenuous currently, and I think introducing competition is not the smartest of ideas. I think this applies double to something like a mouse. Mice are hard to kill off, they breed insanely fast, they eat the same food as us, and they carry disease. If you're gonna mess with this stuff, do it on something big and slow, like an elephant or a woman from Massachusettes.

    My filter for that problem is to not use outlook.

    "This is what the Internet is supposed to be," said Michael Jay, whose Houston-based company, America Find, sends several million messages per day advertising $99 background checks. "This is free enterprise at its finest."
    Funny, I thought it was a communication tool and a network infrastructure. I had no idea that it was to sell prick embigenator cream.

  12. What an elitist. on Meet the Spammers · · Score: 2

    I am a former truck driver too, prick. And I know a hell of a lot more than how to hit the send button. Additionally, I have seen the inside of a pinball machine and YOU can't fix one. So shut up with that crap.
    Yeah, this guy's so stupid he used to make 10k a DAY. What do you make, smartguy?
    That being said spammers can all jump in a river. They get to talk to /dev/null

  13. Re:Buy them both, the MPAA wants you to. on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    I agree, and I love that scene and all, but once the special edition has been released, WHY KEEP THE REGULAR?
    And by the way, that is one hot llama.

  14. Re:Buy them both, the MPAA wants you to. on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    Yes. I do however think that if people thought about what a "special edition" is they might not buy it, and then maybe the MPAA would quit doing it.
    I bought Conan the Barbarian on DVD only to have the "special edition" released 3 months later. Now both editiopns are availible in the catalogs. Why have the regular edition at all after the special is released? The MPAA is counting on people buying both. I am suggesting that it's a bad deal and they should be called on it. Love LOTR all you want, but be aware that you are being taken to the cleaners. I don't think you have to be in the MPAA hater camp to realize this is a bunk deal.

    C'mon, people. Yell about the MPAA all week until they have a movie you want to watch and then you don't even ask why the "special edition" features aren't on the "regular" edition. SUCKERS!

    This is a little different, this is people setting up DHCP servers to give thier modems a bogus *.cm file to uncap thier bandwidth.

    Perhaps because that would make a pretty boring film.

  18. Re:Poltroon. on Russia Poised to Restrict Net Activities · · Score: 1

    Interesting thought. So I suppose the democratically elected officials are an economic revision? You are aware, of course, that a country can have a political system AND an economic system, right? In fact it's suggested for good country-hood.

  19. Re:Dieting on Long-Term Effects of Weightlessness · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? Use a fork for the eating part and a straw for the drinking. Soup can be an issue, and damned if I don't always burning myself whilst trying to eat nachos, but other than that it's not a logistical issue.

  22. Re:Um, yeah it is definitely irrelevant.. on Microsoft Urged Linux Retaliation · · Score: 1

    Free speech? You tool, it's not free speech when it's a corporation doing it. He is speaking ex-cathedra, for all intents and purposes AS microsoft when he puts on his executive hat and uses an MS email address. Corporations do not have the right to speech or anything else, they aren't people and aren't citizens. I think a case could be made that trying to get people to break the law by violating the antitrust statutes is conspiracy, but I suppose the gubment doesn't agree.
    Which memo asked you to do this? Why are you defending Microsoft? Is it part of your job description or is it a personal altruistic gesture on the part of your libertarian brothers?
    I suppose if this plan of attack is legitimate then MS shouldn't cry if the Linux community at large writes viruses and security exploits on thier shitty products. Fair is fair, right?

    It's easy to be "more tech savvy" Than Americans as a whole. See, in America we have 250 million or so people, and we produce things like food for the rest of the Earth and dry goods and steel and things like that. Your 42 people in Estonia or Finland or Ebolaland can all get their CCNAs while eating the food we grew on computer we sold you. So be smug, we don't mind. In fact, we usually don't notice, we're too busy enjoying our standard of living.
