  3. Re: Omar Saddiqui Mateen? on World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    atheism follows the same general structure and societal behaviors as a religion. plus most early atheist organizations branded themselves with names similar to churches but with an anti theism twist such as calling themselves the church of non believers.

  4. i knew as soon as they got the order the case would be dropped and they would announce they got into the phone. this entire bs was about setting a legal precedent.

    we do not hate you Microsoft because of your anti trust case. we hate because you force us to use an operating system that has more security holes than swiss cheese has holes, you refuse to do anything except push down a patch that doesn't work because your too busy putting out a new operating system every other year. simply put you try to feed us horseshit and we don't like it.

  10. kentucky needs help on Kentucky: Programming Language = Foreign Language · · Score: 1, Informative

    you can live in Kentucky like a god with 300,000 dollars. secondly as a resident and graduate of Kentucky schools i can tell you Kentucky educational requirements are a joke and funding is non existent or wasted. they think it's OK to have your kids in a 50 million dollar building be using textbooks from the 50's. they cut educational funding constantly while the congressmen keep raising their salaries and running off new companies with jobs we desperately need at the request of established players.

  11. WINDOWS 7 on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Secure Your Parents' PC? · · Score: 1

    it looks like vista. it runs better than vista. it's more secure than vista. and if your computer is able to run vista you should be a able to run windows 7. back up her data. tell her that you have to reinstall the operating system. install windows 7 instead. my mother hasn't noticed that i replaced her vista over a year ago despite the load up screen showing it's windows 7. the only thing she has noticed? her computer works better.

  13. Re:WARNING!!! GOATSE!!! on Nook Failure, Lack of Foot Traffic Could Spell Doom For Barnes & Noble · · Score: 2

    all i get is an eagle shredding a book with a vulgar phrase. and the reason now one buys books is why should we pay 20 to thirty bucks for a physical copy when they charge way less than that for digital or for the same physical copy on amazon. my problem with barnes and nobel is if i have to buy a book for 45 from barnes and nobel and 27 on amazon since i already have to pay taxes on amazon purchases why not buy from amazon. you want people to buy your books instore? then price match amazon.

    take out a rack or two of the oldest movies for a large table with a power station for people to plug in laptops. offer wifi for a nominal fee. focus more on new releases, gaming systems and game rentals. you could sell graphic novels or magazines god knows the teens around her clear out that card gaming rack pretty quick at the local rental place. I've always imagined a deal with the local pizza place could be beneficial, have a movie and your pizza order delivered to your house with one call.

    i always assumed someday someone would get the intelligent idea of a making a small card and a parking meter type device which allows you to park in handicapped spot you could check the device and if the person used the card then it would say so. otherwise the device would display a message saying the driver was illegally parked. but then common sense doesn't seem to be in high supply and even though i drive an old clunker caddie i always park in the back that way i don't drive around for ten minutes trying to find a spot.
