  1. Re:You're not considering the money factor on Social Networking Sites Becoming Useful For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying that the projects wern't the problem, what I am saying is more racism won't solve a problem that racism started. It's idiocy to think so.

  2. Re:What astonishes me... on Firefox's Effect On Other Browsers · · Score: 1

    Best answer overall I can give for that is, firefox got me first due to the tabbed browsing and it hasn't pissed me off since. I don't want to have to re-learn IE to do all the crap i can do in firefox now. I can just pull up an IE tab for netflix and still use the firefox UI for everything.

    On top of that, I also tend to switch between Linux and Windows and I prefer to use common programs between the two(such as firefox, gimp, and pigin).

    The only real problem I have with firefox is the google taint, and while that is pretty overbearing, its a small bit better than the microsoft alternative.

  3. Re:What kernel bugs? on Linux Needs More Haters · · Score: 1

    Aye, but I run into library problems with windows all the damn time, and generally gets rid of that problem. Main reason why I love it.

  4. Re:OH SHUT UP on Linux Needs More Haters · · Score: 1

    Debian's repositories and package management always blows me out of the water when I use it, and I always wish windows worked that way.

    "Modern poor urban culture", you almost hit the nail on the head. You see, kids growing up in poor environments, most especially when they are on government aid end up having all those screwed up qualities that you hate. I grew up on food stamps and next to the projects so I got to see it happen. Let me tell you, how the kids acted had nothing to do with being black or white.

    That a vast number of black folks are poor is the symptom of years of racism and the problem. It has nothing to do with the fact that great numbers of poor folks in cities are black. I don't have a solution for all that bullshit of course, but it doesn't excuse spouting your mouth off in ignorance.

    You think about skin color if you consider that shit to be black culture. Holy hell, the guy I grew up who is in jail for that gangsta tip was a white mormon. Just because you see black people on the Tee Vee doing gangsta rap doesn't make that indicative of what you call "black culture".

    Most of the black folks I know act nothing like that, and I went to a majority black church when I was a kid. Get a damn clue.

  7. Re:New packaging, same product...bad MMO on Knights of the Old Republic MMO Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Evey with CCP screwing up like they do, EVE will never get kicked off its throne so its pretty futile to try. Still, if you're talking in a more general innovation way, I agree with you.

  8. Re:Why'd they have to ruin that? on Knights of the Old Republic MMO Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Hell I had to butcher the sequel just to get it to work on XP. It was pretty garbage. However if you liked the first KOTOR try out Mass Effect. Only flaw in that game is the inventory system.

  9. Re:Trend in the industry? on Knights of the Old Republic MMO Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure interplay is buthering together an MMO based on fallout without any of the black isle guys. Should be terrible.

  10. Re:"Eventually" become powerful Jedi knights... on Knights of the Old Republic MMO Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I just hope they don't make SWG's early mistake here and pigeonhole people into jedi as an alpha class. SWG had to fix it by letting anyone become jedi.

    No stock to cash in.

  12. Re:It's too bad Adobe got their hands on RawShoote on Linux Alternatives To Apple's Aperture · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll choose Raw The Rapee for 1000. Haw haw.

    Just throw a furry convention, it'll get them all together.

  14. Re:Build it in to glasses on Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality? · · Score: 1

    Are you freaking INSANE. You'll look at a sandwich and see ten lists of the top five sandwiches, followed by someone wishing for a petrified Beowulf cluster of sandwiches with hot grits followed by an auto loading image of a naked Maggie Thatcher.

    But even if the system worked without that, it boils down to one thing. I could care less what the hell you think about my sandwich!

  15. Re:Not a problem... an opportunity on Blizzard Introduces One-Time Password Devices For WoW · · Score: 1

    Or the admin of said web forums used the user/pass combo or sold it. Thats why, if you really want a generic password for forums you may never visit again, you always have that SEPARATE from anything else. Very easy security that nobody pays attention to, as they never think that when they sign up for a random website, they are trusting the password to the admin of that website.

  17. Re:Worst idea ever on The Beginnings of a TLD Free-For-All? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Fair Use has nothing to do with trademarks. IP world can get confusing if you're not paying that much attention.

  18. Re:They is no such requirement... on Enforcing the GPL On Software Companies? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would hope not, I don't want to give source code to my friends when they use my computer to check their myspace.

  19. Re:The bill has passed on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1

    Very easily passed. Sad freakin' day. Call your senators and tell them to not vote for it.

    I know one out of about 13 owners that never had to get a refurb. Not all Red Ringers, however.

  21. Re:Oh come on. on Boy Scouts Ask Open Source Community For Help · · Score: 1

    Neither. I don't bow my head and smile at the other people who are looking at me doing the same. Is it that big of a problem to just say "Hey boss, I'm an atheist so I'm not interested in the god part of this." Its just being true to yourself and other people, a good virtue.

    Hey, after it gets larger than 10 basements, we lose the picture.

  23. Re:Do you really WANT them to have opinions? on McCain vs. Obama on Tech Issues · · Score: 1

    They do that all the time. Thats what committee panels and special investigation deals are for. The need is also filled out by congressional staffers and lobbyists(god forbid). You should turn on some C-Span and check it out sometime, depending on the panel you might actually learn something about an issue, believe it or not.

    Now if you actually mean HIRE when you say hire, you run into a problem. Who are they supposed to hire? Most of the true professionals already have a job. They just take some time off from the job and show up at a panel and throw down some testimony.

    To cite our favorite buddy, Ted Stevens, I believe he made his crazy claims when he was in front of a panel. He does that type of crap all the time if you watch him. I remember watching him talking to some telecom guys. He was off his rocker.
