  1. Re:Xmas? what about Channukah? on The Geek Toy Vacuum Cleaner · · Score: 1

    Every one here is wrong about what Christmas. Christmas is really the brain child of a clever Marketing Strategist named Chris Tmas (pronounced Ta-miss). His idea involved marketing one individual toy each year so much that it would cause every child to want that toy every winter. Chris is very vain, so when it was asked of him what should they call the day that kids should get these toys, he said let's call it Christmas Day. He then had another idea, to lower the ratio of toys to kids so that parents would have to strugle and fight other parents in order to get their kids the toys. He filmed some of these parents fighting, and that's how professional wrestling came to be. Remember Cabbage Patch kids! Again Chris' idea. Merry Chris Tmas!

    "For months and years now it has brainwashed our hapless children into doing unspeakable crimes!" What?, there is only one answer for this. I must use a quote from Cartman aka fat boy on SP "God Dammit".

  4. Re:Aww, how cute on Youngest Software Executive is Three Years Old · · Score: 1

    What a load of horse S#!t. Quote: "Often, grandfather B N Puri finds loads of mail in his computer - all blank. He knows where it is from." Okay the kid can send a blank e-mail, that's difficult to click on some name by accident in your parents e-mail address book. This is just a way to get people talking about this instead of "Findings of Fact". It doesn't matter if they hire every pre-schooler, they are still a monopoly. My cousin has an 8 yr old that has already programmed a baseball card collection software that is commercially sold at places like best buy. He doesn't work for Microsoft, and he doesn't want to either. He wants to go work for Blizzard or ID. It's not cute at all, it's the most moronic thing I have ever heard of. Now the kid is labeled as a whiz, what happens if he grows up to be a pot smoking retard.

  5. Re:Heh on The 21" Frankenstein iMac · · Score: 1

    The blame is kind of on her then, for not checking the package after it came off a truck. Just about everyone knows when you order something to open it up and see if its intact.

  6. Re:One Year Warranty on The 21" Frankenstein iMac · · Score: 1

    You do have a brain right? Apple does indeed have a monopoly on macs especially the iMac. Haven't you heard about other companies making look alike imacs but they are pc's and apple sues the pants off them just because it looks like an imac. If you want a Mac you can only get one from Apple you can't go to Intel.com and say "duh I wanna buy a mac please". That is a monopoly pure and simple. Your tauraus reference makes no sense at all. Also he didn't mean religous as in Christianity either moron. He meant it as, let's say for example I eat at Micky D's every single day for lunch. I can then say to someone I go there religously. Not that I go there because I am baptist. He means that Mac people are the type of people that only want to use Macs. Unlike me, I have owned Dells, Gateways, home built, etc so I am not religous in the type of system I want to use.

    You must not work in IT do you.

  8. Re:This is not a "dirty trick" on Microsoft up to Old Tricks Again · · Score: 1

    I agree, there have been issues with just about all of the NT service packs causing issues with other software. I don't think this is intentional, I just think that M$ programmers aren't very good.

  9. Re:This is total BS on Who Owns College Students' Notes? · · Score: 1

    I don't think there is even the need to mention the Instructors name because the instructor did not create the notes. Most notes are not written down exactly as what was spoken. That's why they call them notes, they are just small bits and pieces to help you remember the complete information.
