  1. Re:Let's go to the videotape on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 1

    But it serves the poster's viewpoint much better if he's taken out of context.

  2. Re:Oddball Suggestion... on Rugged Laptop/Tablet Suggestions, 2010 Version? · · Score: 1

    To be pedantic, Antarctica is a desert and it's quite cold.

  3. Panasonic Toughbook on Rugged Laptop/Tablet Suggestions, 2010 Version? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They've got units that are rated for such harsh environments. They're not cheap, though.

  4. Re:This might have worked... on The Times Erects a Paywall, Plays Double Or Quits · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you checked what comes up from the WSJ on Google News since the takeover? Biased right-wing crap.

  5. Re:The Dream and The Reality on The Times Erects a Paywall, Plays Double Or Quits · · Score: 4, Informative

    His news stuff isn't /meant/ to be news. It's meant as entertaining (to draw them in) propaganda (to get them angry at the "right" things).

    Unfortunately his target audience is not generally intelligent enough to tell that it's not news.

  6. Godwinned already on Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yeah, I'm sure they experienced the full Gestapo treatment including torture and being held indefinitely.

    Taco, you're a fucking tool.

  7. Re:Who are you to cast aspersions? on Gamers Pay To Play With Girls · · Score: 1

    That'd depend on if the production team in question was male or female, wouldn't it? :P

  8. Re:It is surprising to me on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nowhere does it call for warrantless wiretapping - in fact, there's an amendment that specifically forbids it.

  9. Re:More like a flaw in statistics on Flaw In Emergency Response System May Have Killed Hundreds · · Score: 1

    Cite?

  10. I do. on If ET Calls, Who Speaks For Humanity? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Next question, please.

  11. Re:In short on What Is Holding Back the Paperless Office? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you need an administrative solution: they get with the program or find a new job.

  12. Re:Having RTFA for once... on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    |-o-| would be closer to a TIE fighter, not so?

  13. Re:Neither. on Health Care Reform · · Score: 1

    The 'pubs are saying "wait wait" because they're wanting to delay this until after the elections. Should the Dems win the elections, they'll find some other excuse.

  14. Re:A false choice, of course... on Health Care Reform · · Score: 1

    BTW, I've seen thousands of comment trolls, but I think this is the first story submission troll I've seen.

    You must have kdawson's stories hidden.

  15. Re:The wise user will wait on Microsoft Announces Windows 7 SP1 · · Score: 1

    W2K is still being supported until July of this year. Past that point, no more security fixes.

  16. Trade secrets on Google Readying To Pull Out of China · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe former Google.cn employees will find themselves pressured into giving away Google's trade secrets to the Chinese government.

  17. Re:Flash DOES run slower on Mac on A Skeptical Comparison of HTML5 Video Playback To Flash · · Score: 1

    Flash is also a good deal less stable, at least on the Intel side - it's been a while since I've used a PPC Mac, so I can't comment about them.

    No GPU acceleration for Macs, either.

  18. Re:Frist psot! on Programming the Commodore 64: the Definitive Guide · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Apple ][, clearly.

  19. Re:Not to make fun of you on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a just revenge on the fucking idiots with thumpy car stereos, I tell you.

  20. Re:Why Texas? on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    I don't understand what your argument is.

  21. Re:Note To Self: on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Anonymous Coward on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    Hah. Presupposes that you're going to find an agreeable school within a sane distance without moving elsewhere.

  23. Re:Damn intarweb! on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    Several of the founders were Deists - they believed in a creator god who set the universe in motion, but thereafter had no influence on its affairs. Not Christians.

  24. Re:What? on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    Butbutbut... WE'RE A CHRISTIAN NATION. Therefore whatever Christians want should go. Otherwise they're victims.

    That'll last until the theocrats actually gain power and start cracking down on their brother Christians who believe differently about the least thing. See also: transubstantiation.

  25. Re:Why Texas? on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 2, Insightful

    NEWSFLASH: Conservative tool interprets someone else's statement so he can feel like a victim, engage in circle-jerk with other conservative victims.

    You've got nothing on my brother-in-law, chum. I've seen this before.
