    The two chords that follow this in Under Pressure are better, too...

  4. Re:Mostly? on Canadian Movie Piracy Claims Mostly Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Ha!

    Reminds me of John Candy's quip that he wasn't really sure if Canada had produced more famous comedians than any other state.

    Thanks - you have now supplemented Barbara Budd as my primary source on the Dilemma Canadienes.

  5. Mostly? on Canadian Movie Piracy Claims Mostly Fiction? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The true part: "There is a nation, it is called Canada."

    You missed the extensive discussions of

    vs.

    DO DO DO DAH Do-Do.

    I kid you not.

  8. Re:Um on Google Sought To Hide Political Dealmaking · · Score: 1

    MRS. HENDY: Oh! I never knew Schopenhauer was a philosopher!
    MR. HENDY: Oh, yeah! He's the one that begins with an 'S'.
    MRS. HENDY: Oh.
    MR. HENDY: Umm, like, uh, 'Nietzsche'.
    MRS. HENDY: Does 'Nietzsche' begin with an 'S'?
    MR. HENDY: Uh, there's an 's' in 'Nietzsche'.
    MRS. HENDY: Oh, wow. Yes, there is. Do all philosophers have an 's' in them?
    MR. HENDY: Uh, yeah! I think most of 'em do.
    MRS. HENDY: Oh. Does that mean Selina Jones is a philosopher?
    MR. HENDY: Yeah! Right! She could be! She sings about the meaning of life.
    MRS. HENDY: Yeah. That's right, but I don't think she writes her own material.
    MR. HENDY: No. Oh, maybe Schopenhauer writes her material.
    MRS. HENDY: No. Burt Bacharach writes it.

  10. Re:Non-PDF? on Confidential Microsoft Emails Posted Online · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That "bad file format" you are knocking is the compsiting and rendering format for the Macintosh OS X Quartz user interface.

    See this: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/1q00/macos-x-gui/ma cos-x-gui-4.html

    This was the natural extrapolation from DPS - display PostScript - used on the NeXT and original SunOS NeWS.

    There is a difference between crappy rendering implementation and crappy model.

    Who'd want to back that up? :-)

  12. PROPAGANDA on Canada Responsible for 50% of Movie Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is to instill a 'panic' in th epress, to accelerate the lobbying/vote buying effort by the TrueEvil consortia in Canuckistan.

    It has come out how the RIAA and MPAA lined the pockets of MPs and administrators, practically buying unpopular legislation. Now this "news" comes out - to distract the public from the corporate pay-for-votes aspect of the story.

    'Sides, it's too cold to go to the movies, ya' hose-head!

  20. SECRET Court on Domestic Spying Program to Get Judicial Oversight · · Score: 2, Informative

    To go with warrantless secret spying, secret charges in violation of secret laws on the secret evidence that resuts in secret detentions.

    "Secrecy" and "Oversight" are oxymoronic.

    "The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.
    If you can control the meaning of words,
    you can control the people who must use the words."

    Does GB intend to withdraw from the EU?

    If so, the "Big Brother" talk is more than idle literary reference. We can move forward with renaming Britannia to "Airstrip One."
