  1. Re:I am a physician on Medical Papers By Ghostwriters Pushed Hormone Therapy · · Score: 1

    Are you a GP or a specialist?

  2. Re:Perhaps now people will isten? on Medical Papers By Ghostwriters Pushed Hormone Therapy · · Score: 1

    You're taking it the wrong way. GP is pointing out the systemic problem of profit-motivated medicine that is our system today. Large number of physicians who care more about their patients' health still does not negate the system that steers them against patients' best interest.

  3. Stop the madness on Microsoft Patents XML Word Processing Documents · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Stop all these incendiary posts about how every fucking goddamn thing is fucked up beyond redemption. Fuck.

    Let me start. You go Slick Willy!

    I thought they (and you) are the coolaid-drunken religious fools

  5. Re:'knowingly' on Examining Software Liability In the Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    It's not a bug if it's documented. :-)
    Besides, it could be a feature. :-)
    See, another problem is what constitutes a "bug".

  6. Re:'knowingly' on Examining Software Liability In the Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    Strict liability with limited scope is better than "knowingly" clause which simply encourages lawsuits.

  7. 'knowingly' on Examining Software Liability In the Open Source Community · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the weasel word to generate extra lawyer business. Scumbags.

  8. Re:1-dimensional America misses point. on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 1

    "Also Politics it two dimensional, Socialist (left), Capitalist (right) Authoritarian (up) and Liberal (down). All political entities have an X and a Y coordinate on the political compass."

    That's a naive political science nonsense. There are as many dimensions to human politics as there are human issues.

  9. So Apple shout "NO SOUP FOR YOU! NEXT!"

    So many caps? Ok. PERL sucks.

  10. Somebody submit a "soup" application, and have Apple reject it.

  11. Psychology on Psychopaths Have Brain Structure Abnormality · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If the results can be replicated, maybe, just maybe, "psychopath" can actually be defined with some degree with concreteness, with physiological distinction. It'd be a big step for the pseudo science toward becoming less of quackery.

    But I doubt it.

  12. Re:Lenovo S12 on 11.6" Netbooks Face Off · · Score: 1

    Throw in trackpoint and I'd buy one. Yeah, I wrote this before.

  13. Re:Did anyone else think... on Large Hadron Collider Struggling · · Score: 1

    If only they had gone with Haliburton...

  14. Re:anything worth doing on Large Hadron Collider Struggling · · Score: 4, Funny

    What you need is the UK Home ministry to install more cameras, so that you can catch this "God" person (thingie?) red-handed.

  15. Cheech and Chong on Philips Develops Roadside Drug-Testing Device · · Score: 2, Funny

    State trooper: Do you have any illicit substance on you?
    Cheech: Not anymore, hehehe.

  16. Awkward symptom on Google CEO Schmidt Leaves Apple Board · · Score: 1

    This story is all over the net, and seems to me pretty odd that this is so newsworthy. Boards are stuffed with CEOs, hence varying degree of conflicts of interests, direct and indirect, and I would have thought such shuffling should be routine, not so newsworthy. The fact that it is not routine perhaps is a symptom of lousy corporate governance that underhandedly enshrines old-boys club.

  17. Emacs on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 2, Funny

    Word is the emacs of word processor, whatever it has become now.

    Asstoohard? You perv.

  19. Re:Beware of namechanges on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 1

    It's true. Microsoft became Macrosoft long time ago, but changing its name to Macrosoft wouldn't have done it any good.

  20. Re:Who is really hurt by such services? on Students Settle With TurnItIn In Copyright Case · · Score: 2, Funny

    We like to kick everyone in the nuts, too, but that takes bit more work, not to mention the subspecies without nuts...

  21. Re:Big Brother on UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV · · Score: 1

    Watching that crap show is definitely criminal.

  22. Re:Stupidity of american legal system on Tenenbaum Lawyers Now Passing the Hat · · Score: 1

    Competent lawyers also need the money to execute competent defense, doesn't it. Come on, pull your head outta the hole.

  23. Re:Did I miss something on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's really a bailout for Detroit automakers. Hey, it's the bailout era. Measly couple billions don't even sound like a real (gov't) money these days :P

  24. Re:Not a fan of (P/NG/LT/Berkeley)SPICE on Cheap, Cross-Platform Electronic Circuit Simulation Software? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have a thought. If you weren't such a cheapskate and bothered to get the support package "Pepto Bismal" you wouldn't have had such trouble.
