  1. Re:Mixed feelings on Jon Bringing WMV9 to Linux · · Score: 1

    Currently Norway is sort of silent partner of the EU and they have large quantities of oil... (our oil, I might add*)

    They're set for economic independence until the US suddenly realizes they have a king (who therefore must be a despot) and kill half the population and expropriate the oil...

    *: It was Danish until some drunk foreign minister signed it off to them. Yes, that has happened.

    (This message brought to you by a person suffering severe coffee withdrawal.) ... who should be modded up ;p

    I'm getting very tired of shouting idiots. There should be a free moderation when you're eligible: -1 STFU...

    It's common sense?

  5. Re:Bleh.. on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 1

    I've had this watch since Seiko first released it into the market (don't get me wrong, I'm not a rich bastard; my aunt is), and that's quite a few years... And it happens often that I forget it for a few months in the pocket of a coat I don't wear that season (or forget that I have...).
    On top of that, I'm a lazy bastard. As I've learned easily to do without a watch (I have my Palm, for instance), I tend to not get myself gathered to go have the batteries changed... Therefore - it's a perfect watch for me.

    Crap. Forgot I'd changed the sig from
    "I have excommunicated the Sun for the heresy of adhering to the heliocentric system"

    Blah.

  7. This is what Americans get wrong *all the time* on Jon Bringing WMV9 to Linux · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The president is not appointed by god, and just because the president says stuff about god doesn't make it true...
    I'm too tired for real examples, but think of how often Dubya invokes God - very unsavory, if I should say so (see sig)

  9. Re:support? on Jon Bringing WMV9 to Linux · · Score: 1

    It's a feature.
    That you can't control.
    Some would say that this feature, coupled with the rampant security flaws in IE, could pose a security risk.
    They are, of course, not completely wrong.

    But it is a feature, nonetheless.

    Actually, they're having a heathen celebration. It has nothing to do with christianity.

    And, AFAIR, it represents one of the minor groups of settlers. But never mind that...

  11. Re:why the hell? on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 1

    Because part of the annoyance of having a wired mouse is that the wire can get caught under/between stuff... Not a problem with a part you don't actually have to move around all the time.

  13. Re:Bleh.. on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yep. Perfect for people like me who tend to forget my watch on a shelf for a few days. Or months. Just pick it up and shake it back and forth (making you look as if you're excessively masturbating), and presto: it works again.

    what features would it have? I'm using Shareaza atm and am very content with that. Can't see anything that would change that...

  18. LEGO on Microsoft Replaces Your Pirated Windows, For Free · · Score: 1

    You also forgot to mention those wonderful green and blue LeGo-colours...

    Well, except LeGo stopped producing the green blocks soon after introducing them in the 30s as they caused heavy poisoning...

  19. Karma on Microsoft Replaces Your Pirated Windows, For Free · · Score: 4, Funny

    Some mods use "the real" +1s on funny because "+1 Funny" does nothing for that persons karma, so that "+3 Funny, -1 Overrated" actually lessens the karma of the poster.
    Different variations on this reason can be given, I'm just too lazy to type them, so I'll let you think for yourself.

    I thought I was having a deja vu when I read the question, and I was convinced when I read the GP (the answer). That doesn't make the answer redundant and the question interesting.
