  1. Re:Summary on Microsoft Segments Linux "Personas" · · Score: 1

    I simply love the part in the Aficionado section about "remember to avoid Microsoft vs Open Source" -- what, no argument against that, MS? Hmm?

  2. Re:Kubuntu Feisty on a brand new ASUS laptop on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Desktop Linux Matured · · Score: 1

    "We live to serve Him, and you!"

    Ugh. Was starting to dig that site until I saw that.

  3. Re:Cant we just eat corn as it was created by natu on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 1

    ah -- you're talking about eliminating corruption.

    Good luck with that.

  4. Re:It's true on Web Censorship on the Increase · · Score: 1

    Please -- explain to me how NAMBLA is somehow a threat to US Security. Unless you can explain that, there's no threat that they'll be blocked.

  5. Re:Cant we just eat corn as it was created by natu on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 1

    aye, you make sense -- but what about other companies that produce Bio-engineered corn? I'm sure there are others. Do all of them forbid seed-saving?

  6. Re:Hmm. on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 1

    never assume the opposite of what I say to be true! neither side in this is probably speaking with an unbiased tongue.

  7. Re:Cant we just eat corn as it was created by natu on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aye, they make me kind of squeamish too, however they do have the possibility of helping eliminate hunger around the world. Who's to say?

  8. Hmm. on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh -- now they're not pre-biased against it, not at all.

  9. Re:The Possibilities are endless on Stephen Hawking Says Universe Created from Nothing · · Score: 1

    oh, most definitely. my post was only partly sarcastic. (I happen to play the game nearly every night when I get home from work.)

    (HELP)

  10. Re:Lots of possibilities on Stephen Hawking Says Universe Created from Nothing · · Score: 1

    One day, I envision a world in which WoW is used to describe scenarios in all subjects: the psychology of guild member interaction, the economics of proper auction house finance, the political science of horde/alliance skirmishes -- you've already explained the cosmology aspect... :P

  11. Re:Dell? on Dell Opens a Poll On Linux Options · · Score: 1

    Anyone know why (or how) most of madtux's desktops feature AGPro slots? I'm pretty sure those cards have always been hard to find.

  12. Re:Different book name? on Inside the Machine · · Score: 1

    you think he might've chosen Intel chips just to keep his explanations on what's most common? or is there some kind of hidden funding afoot?!?

  13. Re:Actually theology is rather useful on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 1

    why do so many believe that garbage? like i said before, it's simply because they have people throwing it their way.

  14. Re:Unverifiable claims on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 2, Interesting

    there's the rub -- the majority of the populace doesn't even come close to being described as a "scholar." Most just believe whatever is thrown their way.

  15. Re:Agreed and.... on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    don't mod him down -- it's a valid joke. Slashdot is not somehow immune to the enormous amount of self-aggrandizement that goes on in the intarwebs.

  16. Linux on RFID chips? on LinuxBIOS Gets GUI · · Score: 1

    Eh? Just how much space is on your typical RFID, anyway?

  17. Re:Weaksauce death? on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    Hey -- it happened to Achilles!

  18. Re:Ohhh on RFID Passports Cloned Without Opening the Package · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've heard smashing it with a hammer works just as well, and it doesn't invalidate the passport. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this!

  19. So... on South Korea Drafting Ethical Code for Robotic Age · · Score: 1

    ...is this going to be before or after S. Korea fixes that little ActiveX thing?

  20. Re:Progress? on New Sub Dives To Crushing Depths · · Score: 1

    did you follow that link? apparently, the Challenger is an 1100-ton survey ship. Quite the accomplishment to dive with that thing, indeed! :P

  21. Re:Huh, global warming on New Sub Dives To Crushing Depths · · Score: 1

    when you think about it, though, saying that the "bottom of the ocean is closer to the earth's core than the surface of the ocean" is like saying "my ankle is closer to my head than my toes."

    considering how far down the core is, I don't think it makes much of a difference.

  22. Re:not a gamer so please forgive me on World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade Review · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    what -- you can play video games via camel now?

  23. Re:Is it worth going back to the lunar surface? on NASA's New Mission to the Moon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...though, methinks that this whole "return to the moon" wouldn't even have been brought up had the Chinese not boasted about what they hope to accomplish.

  24. Re:More RAM on 4 GB May Be Vista's RAM Sweet Spot · · Score: 1

    Just got done looking at the computers in DELL's business section -- they can only be configured with Vista. What section are you on their site are you going to?

  25. Re:not sure I get the controversy on Don't Believe What You See at the Movies · · Score: 1

    Here's to hoping. Less J-Lo's and Ben Affleck's can't possibly be a bad thing.
