    Then you should have any problem when someone is intolerant of your intolerance of them.

    Maybe you should post your belifs on a sign in your yard and leave your doors unlocked at night. Wouldn't want to stifle intolerance of intolerance, would you?

  3. Re:Is the tide turning? on Navy Now Mandated To Consider FOSS As an Option · · Score: 1

    Why do you assume that open source projects will make the Navy cost effective?
    Open source != free
    they will have to endure the cost of installation, training, etc. No way can they do that efficiently!quote>

    Because currently they have to pay for installation, training, ect., AND the license. Considering that they have to train from the assumption that the user doesn't know what electricity is anyway, if you subtract the cost of software everything else remains the same and cost goes down.

    Could it be that in a 180 degree turn, from the direction it has been going in for the last 200 years, the government will try to become slightly more cost effective?

    No wisdom teeth removal doesn't hurt as much as trying to uninstall Norton. Though in either case I'd recommend having a few weeks worth of vicodin on hand.

  6. Re:dont cheer yet on RIAA Accused of Extortion & Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    This is more similar to if OJ had written his book before the trial started and titled it "I did it, but they deserved it!" It's not like the RIAA can claim the lawsuit doesn't fit in their briefcase, so someone else must have sued all those people.

    The RIAA's tactics so far have been so far over the line that it's hard to see how they can not be convicted of something.

  8. Re:file sharing is "wrong" on The 10 "Inconvienient Truths" of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    To enforce the no copyright thing you'd have to assign someone to copy all their home movies and journals and follow them around all the time to copy anything they make immediately to put it in the public domain.

    I think a better solution to the whole copyright thing is to make the rights non-transferable. Corporations will no longer be able to rip off artists so bad and you won't end up with micheal jackson owning your song rights. It's win-win!

  10. Re:You are academically retarded on The Big Bang Vs. the Big Rumble · · Score: 1

    Seriously - what the hell is that website? Could anyone figure out what it was? It's so insane and creepily idiotic, that one almost can't believe it's just insane and idiotic, but rather that it must be some sort of cryptic signal to the KGB or CIA or something. Just to clarify his position, though, http://www.timecube.com/ is his source that he links to. Clearly you understand his point now that you've seen that and are no longer "ignorant of natures harmonic time cube creation". It's a little hard to understand because english is obviously his fourth language, after wall language, tree language and the language of dance.

    Apparently, since we think that 24 hours = 24 hours instead of 24 hours = 42 hours we are evil. Also, the earth has has 4 poles but not those crappy north and south poles these are poles of race, and if you should ever try mixing these races you are a racist and evil!

    If the 4 racial components of 2 sex pole hemispheres agreed to a cubing of the sphere as a spiritual unity, heavenly music of cubed sphere could be audible on Earth simultaneously to every human ear, not discord, but harmony. The simultaneous 4 human races debunks a God for any race.

    Human word is neither deed nor product, but a counterfeit representation of value. Humans are worshipers of fictitious word. Via invention of word, humans exist as WORD ANIMALS, invented a word god in their likeness, then created a Word World.

    Obviously since we don't all hear heavenly music all the time there is no God. I see no flaws with this theory. I'd subscribe to his newsletter, but forcing him to write anymore than he has would just turn him back into a word animal. And words are evil?

    No operating system is 100 % safe even with anti-virus. My point was that your analogy is saying that even the thought that you could be remotely secure without anti-virus is like trying to print without a printer.

    You must have missed the fact that even though niether system had AV on it, niether did Vista. And it's not fair that you should expect a new system to be more secure just because they say they are.

      Obviously, if you want a non-biased test the Vista computer should be in a secured bunker with no internet access within 50 miles and the XP computer should be an unpatched beta version set to search for "WAREZ PLEEZ".

    Yeah flash drives are the future. Though they will soon be replaced with Johnny Pneumonic style implants.

    I've only bought a couple CDs this year, all at shows of unsigned self-publishing artists. For the same cost of a couple hours in a professional studio, you can ebay yourself some older recording equipment hang some carpet fragments in your garage and get a hopeful pregrad audio engineer from the local community college to produce you just for the experience. the big plus is you get to keep your soul.
