  1. Re:Great on Senator Proposes Nonprofit Status For Newspapers · · Score: 1

    Taxes are the price we pay for a modern society.

  2. Re:he is still alive? on Richard Stallman Warns About Non-Free Web Apps · · Score: 1

    I'll take Stallman's contributions to the world over hers any day. What did she do again?

  3. Re:Every time he speaks I just want to shoot him on Richard Stallman Warns About Non-Free Web Apps · · Score: 0

    As opposed to a rational person like yourself who just wants to "shoot him"... Church, cults, mass suicide. You're coming off more like a crazy person than you accuse him of...

  4. You do the only logical thing on What Filters Are Right For Kids? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You demand that the government censor the entire internet for the safety of The Children!

    ;)

  5. Anyone else annoyed by the twitter fad? on Juror Tweets Could Create Mistrial · · Score: 1

    The fact that politicians and media elite now use twitter doesn't make it good. It makes it even more annoying.

  6. The History Channel. on Sci Fi Channel Becoming Less Geek-Centric "SyFy" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It would be NICE if History Channel would go back to showing WWII documentaries all the time. It would be better than the bullshit they have on there now.
    Lately it's been the 2012 end-times prophecy channel. Every other show on that channel is now Nostradomus, The Bible Code (ha), and psuedo-science shows that have catchy names like "Earth's Black Hole" in which they interview the quack John Hutchinson (google hutchinson effect for his quackery) about the possibilities of a black hole being located in the ocean....

  7. Re:mozilla.com on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 1

    That's a funny statement, but also very true for a lot of people. The only times in the past few years I can recall using IE was on a fresh install when I needed to access mozilla.com to get firefox.

  8. A clever ploy? on Quick Boot Linux Hopes To Win Over Windows Users · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but this isn't a clever ploy to get windows users to switch to linux. It's not very clever to think that something like boot times will makes someone switch their OS of choice.

  9. Re:Web browser? Skype? on Quick Boot Linux Hopes To Win Over Windows Users · · Score: 1

    In a perfect world, your PC would make your coffee while it was booting.

  10. Re:Then, give me a date... on Obama To Reverse Bush Limits On Stem Cell Work · · Score: 1

    You are clueless, and hopeless. The scientific method doesn't work like you believe it does.

  11. Re:They Have A Point on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 1

    Name them. You're saying a Democratic Congressman is trying to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, so surely you can actually name this congressman, right? Right?

  12. Re:Wow. Just wow. on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 1

    Colorado may not be in what is commonly thought of as the bible belt, but take a close look at Colorado Springs. Ever hear of Focus on the Family? Ted Haggard? Tony Perkins?

  13. Re:Creationism was created as a childish response on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 1

    I wish i had mod points today so I could rate your post up, and the one you were responding to down...

    Let me guess. You don't get laid much.

  15. Re:I'm glad we have established libraries. on "Authors Guild" Skims Half of Google Book-Rights Settlement · · Score: 1

    The concept of a copyright is fine. I'm talking about the modern day armies of copyright LAWYERS that have bastardized the concept of copyright. The type of people that keep pushing to expand the terms of a copyright, thus keeping every modern work out of the public domain for our life times.

  16. I'm glad we have established libraries. on "Authors Guild" Skims Half of Google Book-Rights Settlement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm glad we had libraries before copyright lawyers. If someone suggested the concept of a library today as a new idea, it would be shot down instantly.

  17. Is the library next to go? on Book Publishers Making the Same Mistakes as Record Labels? · · Score: 1

    I mean seriously, why can't we have a virtual public library on the internet that lets us read books for free, in the way a public library works?
    Why is it fine to lend books at the library, but not ok to download a book and just read it?
    Have libraries cost the publishing world billions of dollars in lost revenue? I don't think so.

  18. Re:Wait... liquid??? on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    That an interesting question, but what it makes me wonder is how liquid behaves in lesser gravity than earth. Could weaker gravity cause liquid to behave slightly different than it does here on earth?

  19. Re:Science has a high burden of proof. on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well if you had any knowledge of the rover mission you'd know that it was a geological mission, and the rover has many instruments for analyzing minerals in rocks.
    It didn't have something to test for water on itself because when the mission was designed no one thought there might actually be liquid water splashing on the thing. It's easy to sit in your armchair and criticize something with 20/20 hindsight.

  20. Exactly. on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 2

    That's why scientists aren't calling it water.
    I already see a few anti-science posts here, and it's astounding that these knuckle draggers don't understand that there is more than one substance this could be, and scientists won't say what it is until they can prove what it is.

  21. Re:Do I have this right? on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The rovers are a "stupid" "big fuck up"?
    Now I've heard it all.

  22. Science has a high burden of proof. on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh the precious tax dollars!
    You do realize that scientists have a higher burden of proof, right? They aren't going to say it's water until they analyze it and can confirm with certainty what it is.
    Damn right it's my tax dollars at work, and millions of us approve of it.

  23. Re:Obama == Bush (corporate friend)? on Will Obama's DOJ Intervene To Help RIAA? · · Score: 1

    when Obama achieves failure like Bush did, I'll regret my vote. I don't see him coming anywhere near that level of incompetence and failure yet though.

  24. Forgive me for not trusting Kdawson on Will Obama's DOJ Intervene To Help RIAA? · · Score: 1

    I'll wait until the Obama team actually does something I disagree with before I freak out. And if this post goes like Kdawson's many anti-Microsoft posts that aren't based in reality, then I think I'm wise to hold off and getting the pitchforks out just now.

  25. What a joke... on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    So you couldn't get your cracked application to work, and were using beta drivers for a beta OS and your sound came out like shit.
    Where exactly is the evidence of massive DRM? Oh yeah, there isn't any.
    This has got to be the dumbest fucking article I've ever seen on /.
