    and no one uses it after a quick burst right after it is announced.

  2. Re:So what? on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    "Are you saying that those three religions are intolerable?"
    I don't know if the OP was saying that, but I am. I can think of nothing in history that has caused more suffering than organized religion.

    I do believe in god. I do not believe in church.

    "You just click on things. That isn't real work!"
    I had someone say that to me. My response was to stand up, collect my things, and silently walk out.

    "And we had a full-blown plot to sneak binary explosives on in shampoo bottles."
    No, you didn't. It has been proven several time this plan simply could not have worked.
    For example it takes several hours turn the sepperate liquids in to an explosive. Someone might notice if the seat next to yours looked like a grade 10 chem class.

    Bend over Biotch.
    Customs officials may not verbally say it, but their attitude screams it.

  7. Yawn on Microsoft Rebrands Live Search As "Bing" · · Score: 1

    Microsoft wastes more time and effort on an Internet product almost no one will use. They really should just give up on trying to make money from the Internet. They just don't understand what people want.

    Between you and your black roof:
    Wood.
    Airspace.
    Insulation.
    Drywall.

    You really think your roof getting warmish in the winter is going to make a real difference in your heating bill?
    Throw some more insulation in your attic, or replace your old windows, these will save you some real money.

  9. Re:UTC Timestamp? on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is now considered an informed source? When did this happen? Why was I not informed.

  10. Two words on Is The Best Game One You Were Never Intended To Play? · · Score: 1

    Astro Chicken!

    I played that crap mini game for hours.
    My Dog, I am old and if you played it so are you.

    one millionth time! Wikipedia is not a definitive source.
    And stop exaggerating.

  14. That is wager you would lose on NY Bill Proposes Fat Tax On Games, DVDs, Junk Food · · Score: 1

    I just had a new family move in down the street from me, and their kids do play outside. I noticed because I was shocked to see children playing outside.
    On my way out from my house to the main road I pass a school with a park, and another park. There are no kids playing at either one.

  15. The correct answer on Court Orders Breathalyzer Code Opened, Reveals Mess · · Score: 1

    The only correct answer to the question, "Have you had anything to drink tonight sir?" is "No."
    Anything else you say can cause you problems.

  16. Have you noticed? on NY Bill Proposes Fat Tax On Games, DVDs, Junk Food · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Kids don't play outside anymore. When I was a kid, my friends and I would go ride our bikes, go build a tree fort, play hide and seek, or play a million and one other games we made up on the spot. Sometimes we fell down, sometimes we got hurt, and once in a while we even learned something.

    These days everyone is so worried. "Won't somebody think of the children!"
    The Children are growing up with out learning that when you fall sometimes you get hurt.
    Here is a connection these so called experts never seem to figure out. Kids that go out side to play, get exercise, and (Imagine this.) they don't get fat.

    I weep for the future!

  17. Re:No surprise on The More Popular the Browser, the Slower It Is · · Score: 0, Troll

    "The value of NOT opening my robe to Google? Priceless!"

    Since Google pays for several Firefox developers, how do you know you are not opening your robe to google?
    Have you reviewed the code?
    You could be bending over for Google.

  18. Correct CPU frequency on Measuring the User For CPU Frequency Scaling · · Score: 3, Funny

    What a useless study. I can tell you what system I need.
    The correct CPU and frequency is currently a 100GHz 16 Core beast with 4TB of RAM. Of course I will NEED a machine that is twice as fast in 18 months.

    There is no more DRM on music from the iTunes store. Welcome to 2009.

  21. Just an thought. on Why Bother With DRM? · · Score: 0

    IANAL, Thank $DEIETY!
    But I believe most places if you can be shown to be not defending your copyright, that you can loose it. Putting DRM would seem to me to be showing that you are trying to defend your Copyright.

    I once posted my Resume on Usenet. Including Real name, Address, and Phone Number. That was many years ago and all but one of those things has changed.

    Maybe Microsoft is finally going to buy a vacuum cleaner company, so they can put out a product that doesn't suck.
