  1. You want to know why? on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    It cost to f'in much to take a family of 5 to see anything at the theater. And now the bastards want to charge for every living body including the sleeping 3 month old!.

    Before you get your panties in a knot about crying babies in the theater let me tell you we are the first, and it seems only parents to get up and step outside if one of the children act up, plus we go to early shows with all the other parents. And why the hell should I pay eight $&(&^%#&^ dollars for a 3 month old who will not be taking up any space and will be "ask to leave by managment" if she disturbs the other movie viewers? I got in a real good fight when some on tryed to sit in her seat in a packed theater the other day. Screw you we payed for that seat and if you want it back pay me for it!

  3. Made me feel all wobbly :-) on Earthquake off Northern California · · Score: 1

    I was in the Safeway in Eureka reading a mag and started to feel like I needed alot of sleep and some suger. You know the feeling,wobbly. Anyways people were running out of the store and my wife was out in the car trying to call me to get my butt out to. Seems that everything outside including the car was swaying.

    We immediatly got home looked at usgs.gov and decided a 7.4 was worth a drive up th nearest tall hill. It was quite weird seeing all sorts of people parked on Fickle Hill watching the bay. Thank God nothing came rolling in much of this area is at or below sealevel.

  4. Re:Watch out for the Parking Nazis and students on What You Should Know When Taking a University Job? · · Score: 2, Funny

    At CSUN we had a small school that closed next to the campu so people started parking there. One of the lots, the one nearest to CSUN had only one entrance so of course during finals some moron parks his/her car right in the entrance and blocks everyone else from leaving. Fortunatly for the car owner there was never a big enough crowd of pissed of students to roll the car. By the end of the day nothing look like it worked on that car, busted lights, bent antenna, flat tires and of course a parking ticket. HAHAHAHAHAHA Ooooo the sweet memories of school life.

  5. Recycle - rebuild and donate to on Whose Burden is it to Recycle Computers? · · Score: 1

    schools, students, oldfolks anywhere that a rebuilt PC running a free OS can make a difference. I have always wanted to find out how to start a non-profit that would collect up used PCs, old inventory and business castoffs and refurbish them.

  12. Re:As a B.C. Canuck on Canadians May Face 25% Download Tariff · · Score: 0, Troll

    You know I watched the farm families in the Okanogan Vally literally starve because the assholes from the east forced them to try and compete against The US and Mexico. They could not and still can't do anything but farm their land. Why bother when we end up getting BILLED by the fucking packing houses? We fixed you and your oooooh we need the farm land or we'll starve, we plowed all the fruit trees under and let it go wild. Produces NOTHING not even tax revenue! There SO MUCH that is wrong with the way people are treated up there, of course in you vote NDP or the like and live in city what the fuck do you know.

  16. Re:Drive Letters on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 1

    Your being humorous right? Or have you only worked Dos and Windows?

    On a Mac each device appears on the desktop as its mounted, I believe linux windows managers can do the same.

    You want to copy from one flash device to another, just drag the contents.

    If you need to more direct control of the device you could just pop open a terminal window and work directly with the mounting points but that would be rare.

  17. The first real nail in the coffin? on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mean who needs these features in a typical office enviroment not to mention mom and pop user. The only real power users out there today are the Gamers and they aren't going to be happy to give up cycles just to have some cool 3D in their OS.

    Could it be that MS has finally pushed to far and bet too much?

    Are we going to be FORCED to use this OS by some self serving argument that it will "MAKE AMERICA SAFER, and whiten teeth"tm ?

    You may feel I'm being a bit anti Microsoft here but they really have gambled a bit, as have the hardware companies or are they looking for this to create more demand (quick answer OF COURSE), and they are going to create an OS that 99% of us do not need.

    What I want is an OS thats fast and doesn't get in the way of me working with graphics, fiddlin with creating movies, playing music or blowing things up in Unreal. Longhorn?, don't thinks so, not from what I've been reading.

    Its like the OS IS the experience and everything your doing and that high powered machine you bought to do it on be dambed cause we know you want your 3D interface!!

    Microsoft needs to hire about 200 Russian coders, stick em on an island with nothing but PII 450's and 20GB of total hard drive space and tell them they get paid when Longhorn runs on their machines!!

  22. Why is it sad? on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 1

    Like the article says this is a FAILED technology on many fronts. Poor range and performance, dangerous materials and pollution that is simply displace not removed.

    Hey give me a high torque electric car that doesn't look like a toaster and has a range more then an extension cord AND doesn't cost as much as a condo and I'll trade in my hotrod (ok maybe not but I'd drive the electric more)

    And all you miss-informed nuts thinking these are zero pollution vehicles need to go stand down wind from a coal fired plant like Navaho in AZ. All these do is put the smog on the people who can't afford to NIMBY.

    We need (1) a means to produce cheap clean (including the process) hydrogen (2) hydrogen distribution and (3) either a hydrogen car or hybrid!!
