  1. Re:Want another highlight? on Senator Orrin Hatch a Pirate? · · Score: 1

    In country we KNOW the politicans are all crooked idiots.

    Wow! You live in a country so insignificant it doesn't have a name? You just call it country?

  2. Re:I still dont agree with this. on Genetically Engineered Pets Hit the Market · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, you had a strong finish with the "three mild island" reference.

    Gotta stick those landings. Makes up for the earlier bobbles and it really impresses the judges.

    Easy! Just remove the skin.

    And we all know there's more than one way to do that! Cat's must be like UNIX....

  6. Re:In other news.... on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, but I was thinking in terms of 'nary' not meaning anything (with both 1 and 0 having the same value of 0).

    So, were y'all injured in an accident or just born with one lag instead o' two?

  7. I, for one, am glad... on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 1

    I had been cursing the slow speed of my USB1.1 connections for some time and had seriously been considering upgrading to 2.0, but on my tight budget I had been putting it off. Then, suddenly, last December I was given the upgrade I wanted and I didn't have to do a thing! Wow! Not only that, the upgrade was totally FREE!! Incredible! I see this new upgrade strategy as just the thing for the budget conscious consumer.

  8. Re:In other news.... on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 1

    So when someone has 0 of something, they could have 0 or 1.

    So binary just becomes 'nary'?

  9. Re:not bait and switch on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 1

    They did it because their customers wanted USB2.0 on board? So put USB2.0 on board then!

    My retailer wanted cash, so I gave him a bag of feces and told him it was cash 2.0....

  10. Re:You have to ask yourself: what's scarier? on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    "Personal" integrity is a myth. Integrity is integrity. You either have it or you don't.

    Well said. If I can't trust a person's personal integrity how can I trust that they'll do the right thing in any other arena?

  11. Re:btw on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    Hatch's major campaign financers are computer and pharmaceutical companies. All want IP protection pushed and Hatch is all too willing to comply.

    Oh man. They must've spotted us downloading amphetamines! Quick! Flush everything down /dev/null....

    ...why not help the people who are willing to play nicely - the independant artists who are scraping a measly material existance because of their love of their music?

    I'm havin' a hard time finding a good indie symphonic orchestra.

    Isn't that a lot like the email letting us all know that Abercrombie and Fitch have just merged?

    Might I remind you what Hatch is proposing?

    No need. Did you read the post you're replying to? It all depends on whether you want to get through to the guy (or a staff member) or if you just wanted to fart in your own spacesuit....

    Start off by calling someone a moron and they won't hear what follows. This applies even to morons.

  16. Re:Actually, $50 Billion (story inside) on SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages · · Score: 1

    SCO's suit was filed by attorney David Boies of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, who represented the U.S. Justice Department in its antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft Corp. and Vice President Al Gore in his dispute over the 2000 presidential election results.

    So they won a judgement on paper that didn't change anything and represented prince Albert in his failed bid to win an election by tort. Seems SCO's irrational rantings are matched by their choice of high-profile representation.

  17. Re:Something to consider... on SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages · · Score: 1

    I hate those unfair suppositories, especially from Microsoft.

    Are those the ones that go in sideways or the ones that get broader the deeper they're inserted?

    You might squeak by the ageism only to be branded a racist if you pick up vocab without understanding the meaning behind it.

  21. Re:Do younger minds absorb quicker? on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 1

    A younger programmer might find it easier to write the code immediately, but probably he will produce twice the ammount of code necessary for the task, with at least twice as many bugs.

    Bingo. The pups might be quicker thinkers but that doesn't make their conclusions correct. Any fool can make snap decisions in the heat of battle, but the one who consistently make right decisions under pressure is the guy to have on your team.
