  1. OK, so we fucked up. It's good now, really! on How Vista Mistakes Changed Windows 7 Development · · Score: 5, Funny

    MS deigns to send the message that they care about the customer and the community. It would have been nice if they did that the last time. Sorry, I'm already on OSX.

  2. The end of the empire? on UAC Whitelist Hole In Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm mostly an office user and switched to Mac - there's no way I'll run Vista or, at this point, W7 (which looks like a Vista retread). I'm not at all alone. How fast will MS OS share decline if W7 doesn't stop the bleeding?

  3. I for one... on Designer Babies · · Score: 1

    ...welcome our blonde hair, blue eyed Aryan overlords...

  4. I wait for idiotic stories like this one... on How Do You Stay Upbeat Amidst the Idiocy? · · Score: 1

    .....keeps me upbeat, knowing that I didn't post it.

  5. Somebody tore the Earth a second hole... on Scientists Find Hole In Earth's Magnetic Field · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...there used to be only one but Earth missed a VIG payment.

  6. Motts Apple Juice Boxes on Apple Hints At Future Liquid-Cooled Laptops · · Score: 1

    Just plug the straw into the Juice Port and let the cooling begin!

  7. Re:My degreeless friend... on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely right, he is the exception. His circumstances limited his chances at the degree. Anyone who has a choice MUST get the sheepskin (or whatever it is printed on these days).

  8. My degreeless friend... on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...started as an operator and is now a Sr. VP at a very prominent software company. Start small and you can go a long way!

  9. Re:Sad. on HP Seeks to Block Competitor From Revealing Its Pricing · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you need a new job big fella...

  10. Church and State overlap forbids this on Craigslist Agrees With State AGs To Curb "Erotic Services" Ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's still way too much crossover between church and state in this country to allow this to happen. Just look at the gay marraige ban votes and tell me they weren't religiously motivated.

  11. Neither candidate addressed the real issue... on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    ...that we have borrowed and spent the next generation's money. We will need massive inflation to get the money to pay off the 10 trillion national debt, or even to service it. Nonetheless, better Obama than McCain.

  12. Re:Obviously these guys need to watch more Star Tr on Underground Lab To Probe Ratio of Matter To Antimatter · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they're not careful they'll lose anti-matter containment and open up a rift in the space-time continuum.

  13. I for one... on The Walking House · · Score: 1

    ...welcome our new house overlords.

  14. Re:What if something goes wrong? on Robotic Surgery On a Beating Heart · · Score: 1

    whatcouldpossiblygowrong?

  15. Re:Follow the Money... on Kentucky Judge Upholds State's Gambling-Domain Grab · · Score: 1

    Yes, and it is also an incredibly cynical testimonial to the fact that in the eyes of the state gambling is fine for Kentucky citizens as long as they can control it and tax it. They don't give one damn about the citizens, they are just trying to protect their own asses. Please let this travesty be overturned and killed forever lest others try it.

  16. Follow the Money... on Kentucky Judge Upholds State's Gambling-Domain Grab · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Among other things, the state says online gambling drains the state of money by undermining horse racing, a key tourism industry for the state."

  17. Coincidentally... on Red Hat CEO Says Economic Crisis Favors Open Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Red Hat CEO also reported that the latest sun spots are a good reason to switch to Linux...

  18. Solaris COBOL? on Mainframe OpenSolaris Now Available · · Score: 1

    Or maybe Java with plain text paragraphs?

  19. Quality is job 1.1 on Do Software Versions Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    A good mantra for new software releases.

  20. By RC? THAT'S why my garage door is going nuts! on NASA To Repair Hubble By Remote Control · · Score: 1

    Obligitory.

  21. So, what was he playing? on Banjo Used In Brain Surgery · · Score: 1

    Could it have been (from www.musicroom.com): Cuckoo's Nest, Dark Hollow, Farewell Blues? Or maybe some classics like Oh! Susanna or Swing Low, Sweet Chariot? Or perhaps, a classical selection like Beethoven Mandolin Sonata In C Major? Or did he just punt and play Deliverance?

  22. More Obligitory...RoboGramps on Robotic Suit For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    Elderly crime fighters? Packing Gattling RoboGramps heat that shoots out of their arm?

  23. Re:Seems a little strange on Geneticist Claims Human Evolution Is Over · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It used to be that you had your kids within a year after reaching puberty. And you died by 40. Today society outlaws this behavior, and even people having kids in their 20s are deemed "too young." So what is this guy talking about?

  24. Re:Unsurprising- use the dictionary on Venture Capitalism To the Rescue · · Score: 1

    Thanks so much for the uncalled-for insult. The actual word to use is fungible, but I wanted to use a word that was more readily understood. You knew what I meant but just had to show you were smart, right? The point of the 18 months is that there is a strict bar on $$$ return that has nothing to do with what might turn out to be an interesting and profitable project but takes longer to develop.

  25. 5x return in 18 months required on Venture Capitalism To the Rescue · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the best projects in Green Tech may never get funded, because most VCs look for 5 to 1 returns in 18 months, and some projects, surprisingly, take longer than that to monetize.
