    Way to post AC while stating "facts" that you must know are bullshit. next time you post complete lies use a second /. account just for jacking Balmer off. Otherwise just stay the fuck out of my tubes.

  2. Re:Murphy's law on Car Hits Utility Pole, Takes Out EC2 Datacenter · · Score: 1

    You are correct that a semicolon is inappropriate here. But

    it's improper to begin a sentence with a conjunction

    is pure bullshit, the sort of arbitrary rule magicked up by English teachers which has frustrated people that speak English well but feel that a language exists for the purposes of communicators, not bureaucrats.

    And to quote the oft-cited New Fowler's, "There is a persistent belief that it is improper to begin a sentence with And, but this prohibition has been cheerfully ignored by standard authors from Anglo-Saxon times onwards. An initial And is a useful aid to writers as the narrative continues."

    That is all.

    I can. I would rather go to Best Buy for 15 min than do a $100.00 MIR. I wouldn't want to buy anything else there, or listen to a salesman throw out some tech words hoping I am stupid and just say ok. But I will be purchasing my EVO from Best Buy,

    Seriously though. If you have to extra on top of the data plan to get a "Truly Unlimited" data plan. Sprint would find it very difficult in court to justify any cap.

  10. Re:Finally on Indie Pay-What-You-Want Bundle Reaches $1 Million · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thing is, a lot of folks probably felt like they were donating to a good cause when they paid for this bundle, and upped their payments accordingly, whereas there would be no positive karma from giving more than a penny to EA.

    Kind of a really wrong thing to say. If EA were to offer some of their better older games in a bundle and let the downloader set his own price. I would pay. I would pay to show EA that it can work. I would reard EA for trying the model. As I suspect many would. If all you want to do is whine and bithc and then fuck them over if they try to do the right thing then I think that maybe you are a bit too filled with hate to do yourself any good.

    More than twice. 9.2 Billion LY distance. During that time the target will move relative to us further away taking longer to get there. Then on its way back we will still be travelling further apart. Over the 18.4 billion years we may travel quite far. Of course if there is too much mass in the universe we may spend some of that time contracting. Either way though. Ping time will be significantly different from 18.4 billion years.

    There is no such thing as AGWs. "Global Warming" has now become "Climate Change". And those who disagree are "Climate Change Deniers" you know, like holocaust deniers. See how that works. Earth cools switch from global warming to climate change. People disagree, call them climate change deniers so that they are equated with Ahmadinejad. Once you have completed these steps you no longer have to worry about proving your case.

    It may be good for those who choose to do as little as possible to get by. For people who strive for success though Europe is horrible. California is Bad and the US as a whole is no longer good. It still baffles me that there are thousands of highly paid celebrities and "daddy made money" socialites that scream about how rich businessmen are evil. Way to go. The I did nothing real to get rich crowd screaming for the heads of those worked hard and got rich. Or maybe the did not work hard maybe the just took a chance and got lucky. But they deserve the money cause they take the chances. Fuck the lazy. Fuck entitled, and fuck those who spend all their energy trying to find out who is responsible for their problems and lack of success.

    Just because you can not be bothered to look where you put your feet means I have to pay. I do not like it.

    I never mentioned a lawsuit in my post. What I was pointing out is that in the current system taxpayers get nailed because you were at work while you injured yourself.

    Also. I can imagine that there are times when stairs are wet if it happens to be raining. I do not expect that a company pay a guy to clean up the stairs after each person comes in. I am not saying that you are a thief. I am though saying that the system is set up stupidly. That personal responsibility is a thing of the past and that is sad.
