  1. Duh on 60% of AOL's Profits Come From Misinformed Customers · · Score: 0

    Someday this will not be true.

  2. Re:Look in the mirror. on Low Quality Alloy Cause of Shuttle Main Tank Issue · · Score: 0

    "You're blaming "corporate whores" as if you know for certain this is some sort of intentional error arranged around benefiting a company or people within that company." Indeed I am. My mirror says nothing about being more special than anyone else.

  3. Re:Die fighting, die trying, die hard... on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 0

    Agreed!

  4. Oh nooooo on UK ID Card Scheme Data Deleted For £400K · · Score: 0

    "For 400,000 GBP I can build a whole damn system which will reliably destroy data." Are you contemplating
    installing Windows ?

  5. Re:Performance clauses on Low Quality Alloy Cause of Shuttle Main Tank Issue · · Score: 0

    Lowest bidder that meets the requirements, NOT the most useless SOB. Mil-Spec is just that, due to tons of testing and evaluation. Those of you who fail to grasp this, are idiots. Sure, things happen and some people cut costs, but when the samples fail to hold up under the most basic testing, they are not allowed. True, it may take weeks to discover the flaws, but Mil-Spec is a slow process.

    Cheap is not equal to shoddy in most respects. Cheaters get caught. Such is life.

  8. Re:And high school biology students on Do High Schools Know What 'Computer Science' Is? · · Score: 0

    Computer Science should ba about computers and what they can and cannot do. Algorithms and logic are paramount plus some decent mathematics. Coding should be taught at all levels, and graded accordingly by professors who can read and understand the language they are testing upon. It would be nice to see professors who can read a HEX dump, but those days appear to be gone.

    Application usage is more suited to introductory courses. The knowledge about how to figure out arcane or obsfrucated GUI's is a possible art, but not computer science.

    LOGO is not a programming language, no matter who yells it at the top of their lungs.

  9. Only if on Is Going To an Elite College Worth the Cost? · · Score: 0

    You fail to learn anything. Even then it is questiona

  13. Re:It is a good thing on Single Software Licence Shared 774,651 Times · · Score: 0

    Stealing sucks BUT making a useful product known is all part of the sales pitch.
    I like to try before I buy, but short of stealing, I only try that which allows me to
    test drive their product.

    I buy it IF it meets my lax criteria. AV products have been my favorite thing since DOS.
    ThunderByte rocked, it was good and fast. FPROT, the same thing.

    The odd versions of McAfee and Norton et al, were always terrible self promoting
    people/companies. Now we have choices and peer reviewed checks and balances.

    Sharing is easy and turning off licenses is easy. Please allow the people who write
    decent AV products to monitize their warea appropriately. A useful product helps many,
    shutting it off may do more harm that retribution.

  15. Re:give a man a fish on IAEA Forms Nuclear Fuel Bank · · Score: -1

    "No I think he is saying "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for life."

    Actually, if you teach a man to fish, he will waste untold hours drinking beer and loafing.
    Careful analysis has shown this to be true. I fish.

  16. Nice, now why on Verizon Speeds Up FiOS To 150Mbps · · Score: -1

    are we not meeting or exceeding all other countries in this?

  17. Never cheated on 200 Students Admit Cheating After Professor's Online Rant · · Score: -1

    and I maintained a 3.6 grade point average. Sadly, many students cheated, and they dragged my GPA down. Years later, when asked, the revelaed they were worthless assholes. Bummer.

  22. 1984 IBM model M on Ergonomic Mechanical-Switch Keyboard? · · Score: -1

    The clicky key wonder, I have 3 spares, new in the box. Until the connectors or adapters disappear,
    I will use it to DROP MY KARMA into oblivion.

  23. Discrimination? on News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision · · Score: -1

    "No, it's not. In fact, it's very close to racism and is certainly discrimination, but some people will do it anyway until the law notices them and tells them they can't."
    Discrimination is the ability to tell the differences between two things. It is not, nor has it been, WRONG IN ANY WAY. Only 'politically correct' idiots fail to grasp the meaning of the word.

    Racism? There is only one 'sentient' race on this planet, the human race. When certain people behave like shitheads, they get banned. SIMPLE. This is not racism, it is common sense. I do not care to hear what Einstein said about common sense.

    Come to my house and misbehave, you leave, whether you like it or not. I am under no obligation to put up with anyone's shit, EVER!

    Blocking entire countries is a good way to handle the overwhelming number of assholes from a particular region. Get over it!

  24. To deflect on How To Deflect an Asteroid With Today's Technology · · Score: -1

    In order to deflect any celestial object, from a path that was close enough to hit the Earth,
    it would take accurate timing and sufficent explosive charge to actually effect the path of the
    object in proximity. Pretty much an impossible task, unless the entire Earth's resources were mobilized. Dream on ... NIGGERS !!!(added to keep Karma sufficently small)
