    Yeah... it's never Lupus.

  2. Re:navigon on Hackable In-Car GPS Unit? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have the 2100 Max and the 7200T. I love the Navigon units, but they are no longer manufacturing units for North America sadly.

    Newegg right now (sorry if mentioning the site is bad around these parts) has the 2100 3.5" and the 7200T. The 7200T they have for about half of the MSRP ($440).

    Dear FudRucker:

    It has come to our attention that you used over 50GB of data while surfing the web on your new iPhone 3G S. At the current rate of , I am afraid that we need you to remit payment ASAP to avoid interruption in service. We accept cash, check, credit card, greenbacks, war bonds, children old enough to be sold into slavery and, of course, food stamps.

    Thank you for using AT&T.

  4. Re:The answer is... on Microsoft Discloses Windows 7 Pricing · · Score: 1

    I agree. They are asking far too much money for an only slightly better version of Vista. This pricing was all I was waiting for to make the switch to Linux full-time.

    Tea? No, they need a hefty dose of cyanide washed down with Foaming Liquid Drano(tm).

    Wow... just.... wow...

  7. Re:Corporate users and backward compatibility on Internet Explorer 6 Will Not Die · · Score: 2, Funny

    It sucks because as a web developer, I'd like nothing better than to see IE 6 die a quick death.

    Instead, it's dying a slow and painful death. Unfortunately, it is YOU experiencing the painful part of it.

    There is really only one IDE worth mentioning - RadASM.

  9. Well... on Soy-Based Toner Cartridges? · · Score: 1

    I am holding out until hemp-based laser toner cartridges are available.

  10. Re:Obviously.... on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is what will drive me to Linux full-time. I am tired of their over-pricing of software, especially operating systems, and the fact that they have changed to this model of "700 different versions of the same old thing."

    Soon as this BETA 1 expires, I am changing all of my partitions over to ext4. So long, Microsoft. So long...

  11. Re:Curious on More Indications Windows 7 Is Coming In 2009 · · Score: 1

    You DO realize that all those "gizmos and gadgets" can be disabled, right? My Windows desktop consists of the wallpaper and three icons. The icons being the Computer, Network and Recycle Bin icons.

  12. Re:One thing I wish they'd fucking fix on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    That's interesting... I use the "Send Feedback" link that is present on nearly every window quite often and have not had any issues with it at all. It opens a dialog where I can choose from a list of things to report on and add additional comments as needed.

    Fool me once shame on.. shame on you... eh.. um.. a fooled man can't get fooled again.

  14. Re:Oh please! on Linux's Role In Microsoft's Decline · · Score: 2

    I agree with this. Vista was an over-priced disaster that people just didn't want to buy or otherwise be bothered with.

    Sadly, I feel Microsoft will do the same thing with Windows 7... that is, release multiple versions like Basic, Premium, etc., at ridiculous prices and drive even MORE people away from their product.

  15. Re:Coming to a disaster near you. on Seagate Hard Drive Fiasco Grows · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think you have that backwards, no? Seagate bought Maxtor, not the other way around.

  18. Re:uhhh on Implant Raises Cellular Army To Attack Cancer · · Score: 0

    "Say... your body just starts literally killing ALL cells... cancer and normal..." Then it wouldn't be much different from conventional chemotherapy treatments I guess. Current treatments do not differentiate between good and bad cells and just kill everything they touch.

  19. Re:Quick! on Obama Picks RIAA's Favorite Lawyer For Top DoJ Post · · Score: 0

    I said "people who voted for Obama," not "potential voters." There is a difference.

  20. Re:Quick! on Obama Picks RIAA's Favorite Lawyer For Top DoJ Post · · Score: -1, Troll

    I don't follow politics enough to know all the ins and outs, so I can't provide any real insight in this decision.

    You're in the vast majority of people who voted for Obama then. Instead of, say, Ron Paul or even just writing in Mickey Mouse.

  22. Re:Here we go on Apple OS X 10.5.6 Update Breaks Some MacBook Pros · · Score: 1

    "Umm... Pretty much by definition, blue screens can't be user error, unless that" So something like, say, overclocking the wrong way or adjusting your memory timings too tight in the bios wouldn't be something caused by the user? Interesting...

  23. Re:Here we go on Apple OS X 10.5.6 Update Breaks Some MacBook Pros · · Score: 1

    So you traded your blue screens, which more often than not are user/hardware error, for kernel panics and cryptic, obscure error messages? Yep... you've stepped up in the PC world!

    Not sure why people have problems being searched at airports. I mean... you have nothing to hide, right? So just go through the process, stop your whining and moaning and move on.

  25. Re:Review ? on Zero Day Threat · · Score: 1

    Surely obsese people don't like being called "fat tub of lard" but in the end they do nothing to improve their condition. They keep eating the same quantities of junk / high-carb food, do from little to no exercise, and even ask not to be "discriminated" for their "condition".

    That does not make them "oblivious" to it. That makes them people who are simply not wanting to change their current condition. being oblivious to it would mean that they are totally unaware of the problem and/or are ignoring it totally. Not wanting to change and not knowing about are two totally separate things.
