  1. Re:I find it funny and scary.... on Upcoming Cyberwars · · Score: 1

    Your the one who said "nuke them"

    No I didn't

    How you sit in Canada, whose existence is wholly dependant on the US, and bad mouth us is amazing. Every day you should look South and say, "Thank You."

    <i>If this fukker gets nukes he's going to bomb someone with them

    We were at war with Japan. We asked them to stop. They told us they would fight to the very last man. What were we supposed to do? THEY ATTACKED US. You have some set of coward ass balls to even bring Japan into the conversation. Next time use Dreseden.

    Oh shut the Hell up.

    Clearly you are an idiot.

    If this fukker gets nukes he's going to bomb someone with them. And if killing him and his entire group psychos keeps the fucking bomb from hitting NYC then I say by all means take the mother fucker out. I do not enjoy being attacked. I was in the City during both attacks on the WTC.

    It is time for Radical/Militant Islam and anyone who supports it to die in a painful, flesh rending death.

  4. WRONG question on Public vs. Private Sector? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The RIGHT question is:

    How the Hell am I ever going to get a job?

  5. Are they making that much money on the headphones? on Britain's CAA Considers Laptop Ban on Commercial Aircraft · · Score: 4, Funny

    I mean, really, what this is really about is the airlines losing the 5-10 bucks they charge for those headphones so you can watch those sorry ass movies on crappy VHS.

    What they really want to ban is DVD players!

  6. I really wanted to like the book on Gaiman's American Gods Wins Hugo · · Score: 1

    I finally got through it a few weeks ago and I didn't have any particulrly strong feelings for or against it but I did feel like I wanted my time back.

    I did like the story of the Norsemen interacting with the Indians (the woo woo kind, not the one's with the Bomb)

  9. OK , OK, we get it on Microsoft Notes Critical Security Holes in Windows, Office · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hell, my 3 year old son gets it OK?

    (While playing Zoboomafoo Alphabet the Critical Update came onto the screen obscuring the Lemurs. "Daaaad stupid Windows is bothering me!")

  10. Linux to Mac on Mac OS X Switcher Stories · · Score: 2

    That was my path. Sure I still have a Win98SE machine around for games but I completely dumped Linux and its no sound, stupid ugly X Server, Gnome on Monday, KDE on Tuesday, nothing the same twice junk.

    Look I love the whole Linux thing. I dig the Peguin, the free (as in no payment,) and the community is _mostly_ (screw you RTFMers) helpful and glad to be of help. But it was a pain in the ass. Sometimes I just want to do some work and not fuck with a config file.

    Bottom line OS X works, it has Apps, it runs on excellent hardware and dopey teens with DSLs switch to it all the time. (wink)

    I did not know about this. Sweet, thank you, thank you very much

    PS it works for me too.

    Anyone know how I can get the SWU to stop telling me about the other languages (w/o installing them?)

  14. The Gov't should not need to be involved on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 2

    Very simple way to fix this without wasting a legislators (read MY TAX $) time.

    You own a theater. You make a rule (not a law) that says.: NO CELL PHONES, BEEPERS, ET AL ALLOWED.

    I really don't see why the government needs to be involved here. Cell phones in cars, dangerous, cell phones in theaters annoying. Let the theater owners deal with this.

    Or have Vin Diesel act in a B'Way show and have him beat the shit out of the first hickory assed scumbag who gets a phone call. Suddenly cell phone useage in a Theater will seem like a bad idea.

  16. This does, in fact, appear to be "The Right Thing" on Apple Offers "Family License" for Jaguar · · Score: 1

    However, he said that many Mac owners want their installations to be legal, but they're not willing to pay full price for each copy of the operating system.

    "This is a great way to allow honest people to remain honest," Bereskin said.


    Seems like a decent way to handle this situation, I'm still screwed but whatever.

  17. Soccer Moms, SUVs and LoJack for children on Tracking Your Employees, Children · · Score: 2

    Face it these things are going to be hot. The media ia hyping the SHIT out of child abductions like they are new phenomenon. Truth is they ARE DOWN from recent years! But you local news has decided that this ISSUE needs MORE coverage. Who knows maybe it does....

    Point being you still need to be a parent. You can strap whatever you want on your kid, be it this a leash, a small ferocious otter, what have you, BUT you still have to parent your child.

    Hopefully this will on be a tool not a solution. I don't want soccer mom trucking down Main Street in her 5000lb Ford Leviathan looking at the web page showing her that her kid is next door. I also don't want people to think this is some kid of auto pilot for resposibilty.

    My daughter can't be pregnant! She has a GPS.

    Further how many 2GHz processors do you figure are in the world today? Go ahead cluster them, serialize them, Hell cannonize them if you like. My crap ass brain still has MILLIONs more neurons firing away at 120Ghz.

    The fact of the matter is we build systems and humans learn them. Language, Government, Religion, my ex girlfriend, etc.

    Clearly you underestimate the speed and cpacity of the Human Brain.

    Do you think that Ng will know the T on sight? Do you suppose that Mohamed will be able to assimilate the script from the cursive? What makes you so certain that Mary Very MidWest will understand the T of Johhny SouthCentral? You mean to say someone's handwriting has never confused you? You sir should be the prototype for our supercomputers.

  25. About the Palm and Graffitti on Build A Custom-Fit One-hand Keyboard · · Score: 2

    Graffitti is precisely the way we should be going. I know, I know you want to jack your brain in and all that but for now things like Graffitti make the most sense.

    Your capital T curves up, mine looks like a T Square, his looks like italic script, hers looks like a small T anyway. How is a computer supposed to know what you're talking about? (See also The Newton)

    Giving you the parameters with which to work in is VERY MUCH the computer way. Despite what you may think we HUMANS must CONFORM to the COMPUTER all the time. (See also Programming.)

    I mean Hell just look at spelling, none of it makes sense. (See also ghoti == fish)
