  1. Re:But... on Nissan Gives Electric Cars Blade Runner Audio Effect · · Score: 1

    So, let me get this straight, when a pedestrian is crossing the road when "the law" says it's appropriate, and you come barreling around the corner in your hummer without looking or slowing down, it's the pedestrian who's the asshole?

    And people wonder why so many pedestrians and bicyclists are anti-car...

  2. Re:Focus on quality? on Microsoft Asks Open Source Not to Focus On Price · · Score: 1

    no way to install an up-to-date application unless he updates the whole system. And that he will have to update (aka reinstall) the whole system every few months, since thats the usual duration his applications officially are up to date.

    Wow, how am I running Firefox 3.0.8 and OpenOffice 3.0.1 on my year old Kubuntu Hardy install? Must be a fluke, right? Because it would be impossible to just, you know, download a file (.deb or.rpm) and just double click it and click on the "install" button...

  3. Re:People just don't understand Linux on Linux On Netbooks — a Complicated Story · · Score: 1

    It's not much of an upgrade. It's only 40gigs, not 64, and only 8 of that is fast SLC, the remaining 32 is the much slower MLC. Better off with the cheaper HD at this point, in my opinion.

    Oops, not there, I guess Obama can take yer gunz.

    Maybe these files are decoys, intentionally leaked by the DoD to spread false information?

  6. Re:No strategic interest in Linux and Mac on Chrome On the Way For Mac and Linux · · Score: 1

    What? Says who? I never saw Google announce anywhere that Google Chrome is specifically targetted to "fight IE"..

    Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

  7. Re:Time to recycle a "meme". on A Peek At DHS's Files On You · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Conservatives are only about small government when the Democrats are in power.

  11. Re:Journalists don't create stories??? on Wikileaks To Sell Hugo Chavez' Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    hopefully this will open your eyes to the fact that there are people in the "news" that have clear agendas and aren't above creating stories where none exist in order to influence you. Not to mention those who write with bias.

    Wait, are you talking about Dan Rather or Right-wing blogs?

    For 3 human days, Johnny had been on the scary side of the moon, where the danger-aliens were known to roam. He opened his space-backpack to do an inventory:
    One sleep-blanket.
    A flask-holder of liquid drink-water.
    Four holder-containers of nutrition-food.
    Through his vision-glasses, Johnny saw a colony of danger-aliens and feared they might catch the scent of his nutrition-food.
    The danger-aliens were out on patrol-patrol, hunting for nutrition-food. Johnny thought with his mind-brain, "I must bury the nutrition-food. I MUST bury the nutrition-food."

    Have you not heard about the UK, where a judge has upheld the notion that a Christian family dispute ought to be covered by common-law, in addition to the normal UK legal system? Whether they do it by force or by subterfuge, "invading" is their goal, and they're already doing it. See also the publicly funded Catholic-based elementary schools in Detroit. Or how about the special exceptions made at an American university for school-funded fish on Friday for the Christian cafeteria? I ought to go all Wikipedia and cite my references, but if you've not heard about these things, then you're not paying attention.

  16. Re:Depends on the cop on Citizens Spy On Big Brother · · Score: 1

    Boo fucking hoo. If he hates his job so much, he can get a different one. Having to deal with idiots and assholes doesn't justify being an asshole to everyone around you and ignoring the law when it is convenient.
