  1. Re:Don't need a Mac just to escape Windows 8 on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you guys are right. There's just something to that self-righteous vindication when you have opportunity to help mod yet another shill account into oblivion. It's a shame it's a losing battle.

    I saw what you did there, but only mere moments before reflexively getting ready to mod you troll.

    You, sir, play a very dangerous game.

    or vagina.

    Coffee and perhaps some schizophrenia medicine.

  5. Re:Pretty good bundle on Humble Indie Bundle V Released · · Score: 1

    It's one of those games you just have to stop and take a break from sometimes. It's actually genuinely creepy.

    Geez, mods seem vindictive today. Run out of Midol much?

  7. Re:Never heard of these games on Humble Indie Bundle V Released · · Score: 1

    Amnesia was really good. It was made by the guys who did the Penumbra games.

  8. Re:Pretty good bundle on Humble Indie Bundle V Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Amnesia is amazing. I really need to go back and finish it. Sword and Sworcery is... interesting, but the soundtrack is pretty decent if you're in to that kind of thing.

    ...Yesterday.

    But I picture it being like an instruction manual for a See n' Say.

  11. Re:Or find someone to slave for low wages on IT Positions Some of the Toughest Jobs To Fill In US · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere about demanding a fire in every trashbarrel and a newspaper in every cardboard box.

    He may also be talking about a place that has higher than average cost of living. I have friends who would be excited about a $50k job here in Saint Louis. From what I've been told, $50k in NYC would barely cover the lease on a cardboard box.

  13. Re:Unique IDs eh? on All Researchers To Be Allocated Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    There has always been a war between science and the idiocracy. It's just usually previously we attached a different prefix to "-cracy".

    Well, yeah, but they're not all doing it under the holy sanctity of marriage, ordained by the watchful eye of God (and the Church)!

    My god, I heard the other day that some of them having sex were actually THE SAME GENDER! Gasp!

    I just heard the sound of a million trolls trying to patent "...but on a phone" at once.

  16. Re:News for who? on Return of the Vacuum Tube · · Score: 1

    I'm 28 and I've seen my grandfather's old television repair kit from "the good ol' days". Thing is full of them. Having that been said, I've never actually PERSONALLY had a vacuum tube TV.

  17. Re:Is it a good alternative to Ubuntu for a novice on Linux Mint 13 (Maya) Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    I ran Mint for a while, but eventually went back to Fedora with KDE installed. Never thought I'd see the day when I considered modern KDE a 'sane' GUI. The latter comment is just me getting off on a tangent though, really Mint didn't have any major issues; my big driving factor for going back is that I do so much work through the day with RHEL/CentOS that I got sick of seeing "yum: command not found" messages every time I try to install packages. Muscle memory on that stuff is actually kind of tedious sometimes. I create batch scripts for 'ls' on any Windows box I have to spend an extensive amount of time with also.

  18. Re:I'm probably nitpicking on Linux Mint 13 (Maya) Has Arrived · · Score: 5, Funny

    So then the four flavors come in two flavours? How many normal flavors are there in a flavour? I always get the metric conversion wrong.

  19. I'm probably nitpicking on Linux Mint 13 (Maya) Has Arrived · · Score: 3, Insightful

    but isn't that 8 flavors? (2+2)*2? Or does processor architecture not count as a flavor?

    Why do the young black men in your story have so many kids if they can't afford to pay for them? Seems like a bad idea to me.

    The apple stuff is pretty good. Certainly better than the majority of what you'll get out of a vending machine.

    Wait... it comes in cans now? I've only ever seen it in bottles.

  23. Re:Common Sense on SAP VP Arrested In False Barcode Scheme · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think he's pretty accurate actually. Way back in the day when I was in retail, I loved going to work because then I had time to just let my brain 'switch off' and I could think about whatever I wanted to. It was actually a restful break from classes and homework. Nowadays, I dread going to work, because I have a big boy job and I'm paid to think, not to do.

  24. Re:Paradox! on Microsoft Tests Social Search Waters With 'so.cl' Network · · Score: 1

    Probably, but it was the kind of lengthy and unsolicited tangential offshoot that I felt should be otherwise cheapened by a terse and simple response. I'm glad at least one other person got a chuckle from my comment.

    As far as being less intelligent than anyone else, well, hopefully my ego will manage.
