  6. Re:Meh on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    At least the republicans are honest about being for big business. The dems pretend they are there for the common man and they aren't.

  7. Good way to get sued/put out of bussiness on Microsoft Expands Access to Windows Source Code · · Score: 1

    Now microsoft can claim that your code is contaminated with theirs. No way would I take that risk with Microsoft.

  10. Re:More to it than cost... on Gates Predicts DVD Obsolete In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Higher quality? I would be suprised if HDTV is even in the average household in 10 years.
    My wife prefers VHS because they are easier to use, she could care less about quality.

    DVDs are 'good enough' technology and will be around a long time, just like vhs/vinyl/cds.

  11. Re:If they really wanted to go faster on Tour De France Showcases Multitude Of Tech · · Score: 1

    Another requirement is a rather odd beard and an overall geeky/nerd appearance.

  12. Re:thats a bit low on Dell Offers $100 For Old iPods · · Score: 1

    I remember that stupid time when the phone companies were battling for your business, give you 100$ of free service or whatever if you switch. I had free long distance for a couple years this way.

  17. Re:Evolution IS a beauty contest on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 1

    It takes many build/atrophy cycles to get this scar tissue. This is why most top body builders are in their 30s.

  18. Re:Evolution IS a beauty contest on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 0

    Actually a bodybuilders muscles are mostly scar tissue, most of them aren't that strong.
    If you look at champion weightlifters/power lifters you will see that the muscle areas are small and their connective areas are large (large shoulder, small bicep). Perhaps muscle scarring is a secondary sex characteristic like big boobs.

    Ok zealot. My OS is mandated by my job and I didn't pay for the software on my workstation.
    Even if you are a zealot, don't you get tired of the wild exaggerations about windows instability that ended with win2000?
