  1. Re:Islamism is the Problem on Islamic Hacker Group Resumes Attacks On Banks · · Score: 2

    Currently, there is an insignificant number of Christians who will try to kill you for your beliefs. There is, in contrast, a rather significant number of Muslims who would love to string our atheist asses up. Well, they'd probably stone us to death.

    Last I checked, Israelis weren't trying to kill all the Palestinians. Last I checked, most Palestinians were pretty keen on killing all the Jews. No matter what Israel does, from leaving Gaza to providing free hospital care, the Palestinians insist on trying to kidnap and kill Jews. Fuck them.

    You're probably one of the idiots with his own personal definition of antisemitism.

    Well, yes. The Islamists are actively trying to kill the Israelis, and more specifically the Jews. That justifies self-defense, does it not? Truth be told, the Palestinians in Israel get better treatment than most Arabs in other countries. They only complain because of the Jews.

    These Islamists want to control you and your life. Convert or suffer. Yes, they are weak now, but that may not always be the case. All you pricks that crap on Israel need to know that millions of Muslims, perhaps not a majority, but millions of Muslims hate you.

  6. Re:It doesn't compete with tablets on Why Microsoft's Surface Pro Could Fail · · Score: 1

    I don't know about all that article has to say. I know that I can have multiple Windows on the desktop, just like Windows 7. I can also switch to the pretty Windows 8 interface. I can also split the screen between the two. I haven't tried to split it more than once, though I probably can. I like how it boots faster than Windows 7, wakes from sleep faster, wakes from hibernation faster, and so on and so on. I'm not upgrading my Windows 7 machines, but I am upgrading anything with Vista or XP. Windows 8 is great. I'm totally happy with it.

    Well, the built-in Facebook app and mail apps aren't my favorites. That's mainly because Thunderbird and the web work much better.

    Have you used Windows 8 for more than 30 seconds in a store? I'm using it right now on a 6-year-old laptop. Windows 8 is just fine. It's certainly superior to IOS in every imaginable way. My only disappointment with the Surface is its low resolution. I've been rocking 1920x1200 for 6 years, and just got 2560x1440 on the desktop. I don't want to go backwards.

    The Taliban happily helped Al Quaeda attack us because we helped them fight off USSR many years earlier? WTF?

    Because we weren't in Afghanistan and they attacked us. Because we actually trained and helped the Taliban fight off the USSR, and they attacked us. They hate us. They hate the culture, freedom, religion, color, and superiority of the US. They hate everything the US stands for.

    Moral of the story? If a terrorist moves in next door, kill him yourself or move out ASAP.

You can't smell it because your nose is dead to your rankness, but everybody else can, and we can smell it across the room. It ruins our time.
