  1. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    But what are they colliding with? Yes, sometimes the small car may be more adept at avoiding a collision, but its a sitting duck when its one of those SUV's out of control. SUV's for 90% of the populace are nothing more than a less depressing mini-van. the mini-van is this sort of defeat to those who need the extra space. So they get an SUV because it looks tougher and doesn't carry the connotation. Soccer moms in their Suburbans could manage just as well in a dodge caravan, and get better gas mileage while they are at it. Until people value efficiency over status we'll have this issue. I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

  2. Re:This is what happens... on Bell Canada Official Speaks Out On Throttling · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Oh yes, you hit that nail on the head... /sarcasm. You seriously want to talk about responsibility? How about ecological responsibility. Lets take a mode of transportation that is already fuel intensive and make it worse. We're trying to use less energy, unless you have some anti gravity devices you've hidden away, I find flying cars to be much less responsible.
    On topic, ISP bitching and moaning is getting old. They refuse to improve infrastructure and instead complain that we "use too much" while they pocket the cash. I hope everyone can follow this excellent business plan. I'm awaiting traffic shaping at my local emergency room.

    your ideas on pattern matching are good, your lack of sports knowledge is strong as well. If you would like the average person to understand your point you would have to know that the Kings are a basketball team, and the river cats are their minor league baseball team. Sure i'm probably trollbait, but remember, average joe will get all confused when you mess up his sports analogies.

    Doom and gloom prediction #4433485455 logged. Do not worry, when the prediction finally comes true you will be given the correct percentage of credit for your prophecy. Unfortunately you did not reference "the year of the linux desktop" so percentage points may be lost and your resulting credit may be lower than expected.

  5. Re:Correction on 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs · · Score: 0

    But Mac apps, on average, are more thoughtfully designed and crafted than their equivalents on PCs. all 12 of them that are mac exclusives? Once you get past the OS the glitter of a mac is gone, you are paying considerably more money to be able to run considerably less applications, and thats supposed to be a GOOD thing?
  6. Re:Never got why people like Guitar Hero on Details for Guitar Hero 4 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    True, but playing those little dorky guitars is not cool. Shredding on a ESP connected to a Mesa/Boogie, is. "shredding" on an ESP makes you a 80's wannabe leftover. That stopped being cool with men with crimped hair and leopard spandex

    mmm, so if google has a monopoly its ok because they earned it... if its MS, then its evil. hey pot, the kettle is calling you.

  8. Re:How does Apache avoid this? on Half a Million Microsoft-Powered Sites Hit With SQL Injection · · Score: 0

    fanboy posting at its best. Yes, your experience speaks for everyone. I make my bread and butter off of MS tech, but I do just fine with anything non-MS. Don't try and speak for all of us.

    I'm assuming you'd also be willing to give up a few limbs "for the good of humanity". If its ok for some kids to get sick to save others you should have no problem giving up your health to save the rest of us. Thanks, I'll remember you if I need an organ.

    sarcasm tag missing? me hopes. to those who think he deserved to get hauled off and not answered. The people who fought for the land you live in (provided you are in the U.S.) were annoying dissenters, We need to never lose our sense of being an annoying dissenter, its the only thing that keeps the people in control.

  13. Re:What's your better suggestion? on University of Florida Student Tasered At Political Rally · · Score: 0

    The revolutionary war was completely against the "rules of civility". This county was founded on the freedom to question our representative leaders. Does that mean we can only question them in ways that they approve? no. As long as we aren't physically endangering them we are protected by our right to question them. even if some panel of moderators or the police don't like it. He was being an ass, yes, but he had a right. Now if we had more video to see how long he had been on his tirade then maybe it was simply his time to let someone else ask questions, but as the video I watched shows, it appears that he was cut off because they didn't like what he was saying.

  14. Re:Shortcomings of Monoculture on Storm Hits Blogger Network · · Score: 0

    Why do you feel the need to infect a post NOT about any specific technology with your anti MS rhetoric. This wasn't "Outlook allows trojans to get through easily". Some of us like to read a story without having to hear the linux/microsoft war cry every time.

  15. Re:Is YouTube really an appropriate platform? on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The problem is when the anti-religious judge the religious based out of their own misconstrued biased opinion of what they feel religious people are all about. You can't comprehend it fine. you feel the need to judge any religious believer as a nutcase fine. Just so we're clear on who's got the prejudice around here. You obviously have no leg to stand on so you jump to vitriolic insults to cover up your lack of insight or anything useful to say. I'd be appalled if anyone let you speak on anything that had any importance.

    why are you bothering with a troll he's obviously a linux zealot. Leave the crusaders alone, let them huff and puff. Allegiance to an O.S. is the silliest thing in the world. Go ahead and hate microsoft. I'll support both systems and let the customer decide and pay me. And when windows has problems I'll let them pay me more. Let him wage his war, its pretty funny.

    i'm sorry you are so bitter, retire and go rot on a golf course. If the work you put out is as useless as what you just posted your bitterness makes so much more sense. I won't even debunk you, your too jaded to actually read this anyway. good luck.
