  1. More stock drops? on Microsoft Rumored To Lay Off Thousands Worldwide · · Score: 4, Interesting

    These are the kind of crappy rumors (like Steve Jobs is sick, OH NOEZ!) that cause stock to drop, and then Microsoft really will have to cut some jobs.

  2. Re:'MacHeads' is weak... on Review of 'MacHeads' Documentary · · Score: 1

    Latin for apple: malum.
    Plural form: mala.
    Hence: malaphiliac is lover of apples.

    It is interesting to note that mala is also the Latin plural form of evil.

  4. Re:I have on Will People Really Boycott Apple Over DRM? · · Score: 1

    So really what you think your doing in boycotting them is just being stupid and showing your lack of knowledge of the situation.

    So what you're doing in writing is just being stupid and showing your lack of knowledge of the English language.

    Al Gore, is that you?

  6. Re:I'd really be impressed... on Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suppose Raid 0+1 kills both ants and cockroaches.
    What is Raid 5 for?

    People with dwarfism aren't special in this regard. I think this is generally true of all people.

  8. Re:Two responses: on Inventor Builds Robot Wife · · Score: 1

    Does this mean it includes a non-terminable nagging feature?

    Good observations. You're so much smarter that me.

  10. Re:Passports have done this for years on Indiana Bans Driver's License Smiles, For Security · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only problem being that most humans don't do facial recognition. A neighbor stole my wife's drivers license photo ID, and used it to get all sorts of medical care and drugs. Nobody looked hard enough at the photo to see that it wasn't her. The only similarities they had were brown hair. A photo ID is mostly useless when people are careless.

    Don't make the protocol world more confusing than it already is...

  13. Re:Do we really need this? Well... on Verizon Employees Fired For Snooping Obama's Record · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think the question is, do we really need a constitutional amendment defining marriage as "not gay marriage"?

    No, this should simply be self-evident.

  14. Re:Why PE and not the arts? on How To Help Our Public Schools With Technology? · · Score: 1

    Hey! I played the keyboard in band, you insensitive clod!

  15. Re:Enderle matters? on Final Judgment — SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526 · · Score: 1

    Oh dammit, I'm so redundant.

    I think he means "hit points".

  17. More pointless mandated tests! on US Officials Flunk Test On Civic Knowledge · · Score: 1

    Most college graduates have to take the GRE to get into grad school (though some have specialized tests for their field). I propose that our to-be-elected officials take a similarly pointless test of knowledge and the results be made public. I will not vote for someone who can't do elementary math if they are planning on spending millions of tax dollars.

    The answer is no.

  21. Re:Economy: a no brainer on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, loose the election! Let it go! It should no longer be tightly bound by the media! Run free, election!

  22. Redistribution of Wealth!!! on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everybody wants redistribution of wealth! We just want different distributions (the large portion going to ourselves and those most like us). I will support a candidate that redistributes wealth.

    If we want to be fair, however, every American citizen deserves the same, right?
    So I also will support a candidate that will also redistribute:

    1. organs (not everybody has good kidneys!!)
    2. children (let everybody share the responsibility of shaping the future generation!)
    3. good looks (it's not fair that some people look more attractive than me. Plastic surgery and/or masks for all!)
    4. land (the only thing worth fighting for!)

  23. Re:Design items... on Doing the Math On the New MacBook · · Score: 1

    Since this analysis is always too subjective, I think we should leave it to the polls:

    Why did/will you buy a mac?

    1. Functional features
    2. Stylish features
    3. To be part of the in-crowd
    4. Used them all my life
    5. My software doesn't run well/at all on other platforms
    6. I won't, macs suck!!!

    Why have you not bought a mac yet?

    1. I have, couldn't be happier!
    2. Too expensive
    3. My games don't run well enough or not at all on a mac
    4. Mac users are too smug and/or condescending and/or something else negative
    5. Don't like change
    6. Macs don't have a feature/function/option that another platform offers
