  1. Re:Ah, so you are for free immigration? on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Immigration law isn't supposed to be fair. There are unequal quotas for immigrants from different countries. Why aren't you complaining about the unfairness of that? Why is it you only complain about unfairness when poor brown people walk across the border?

  2. Re:Turbo Boost technology? on Intel Core i7 For Laptops — First Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the Intel Core i7 Extreme with Turbo Boost Technology will be a reality sooner rather than later.

  3. Re:How about Nintendo? on The PS3's "Yellow Light of Death" · · Score: 1

    I washed my keyboard in my dishwasher. Dried it out and it still works fine. Water doesn't hurt electronics unless it's submerged for a long time, or it's plugged in when it gets wet.

    According to the Talmud, you can only use Greek or Hebrew.

    In order for Night of the Living Dead to pass into public domain, it had to be copyrighted properly in the first place. It was not, thus it was always public domain.

    If the only places it can fly to would imprison it? Yes. I think the butterfly would stay put.

    No, it was just rebranded.

    Could be worse. Look at Hebrew, they have no vowels anymore.

    Or just add the additional features at the factory and skip the desoldering altogether.

    On the other hand (no pun intended), if you completely open your hands, the butterfly will simply fly away.

    Why? It landed there for a reason, didn't it?

  11. Re:Almost competing on Windows 7 Upgrade Can Take Nearly a Day · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only suggestion I've gotten that I haven't followed up on was the generic, 'Well - did you buy Linux compatible hardware?!'

    Yeah, that was more of something to check BEFORE you go to amazing lengths trying to install.

    It doesn't bother me any more than Brittany Spears going multi-platinum did.

    There is no intended non-lethal purpose, because it is non non-lethal.

  17. Re:Nope, this is very 2000s on Microsoft Aims To Cure Server-Hugging Engineers · · Score: 1

    I think they'll just install another language pack.

  18. Glad I live in Arizona... on Police Swarm Bungie Office Over Halo Replica Rifle · · Score: 1

    It's perfectly legal for me to carry my AK-47 around. I can even bring it to a school if I leave it in the car.

  19. Re:Our neighbor on Schooling, Homeschooling, and Now, "Unschooling" · · Score: 1

    Kinda like the way Neo learned how to fly a Bell Helicopter. Just wish "I want to learn X," and the knowledge magically appears in your brain.

    Google is amazing, but I wouldn't call it magic.

  20. Sounds good. on Schooling, Homeschooling, and Now, "Unschooling" · · Score: 1

    Never let your schooling interfere with your education.

    Why bother growing cow in a petri dish? Grow komodo dragon, or even better: people steaks. I hear we taste like bacon.

    We'd have plenty, just as we have now, but without any real reason to switch, they'd be as popular as fluxbox or xfce.
