  1. Jury of 12 random people? on Al-Qaeda Used Basic Codes, Calling Cards, Hotmail · · Score: -1, Troll

    That is unconstitutional the constitution clearly states a jury or your peers. But when can you ever believe/trust anything that comes from the US gov? Look at the methods they use to extract confessions in the US.

  2. In Canada we pay a levy on all blank media... on US Says Canadian Copyright As Bad As China's, Russia's · · Score: 0

    doesn't matter what we do with it but just in case someone copies something they shouldn't everyone pays. Here let this guy explain.

  3. Not even tempted... on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 0

    My place is a microsoft-free zone. The only microsoft product I have is Flight Sim for dos 2.0 unopened and my old win 3.11 disks but they are just conversation pieces.

  4. Slackware 3.6 had a bootable CD...... on What Did You Do First With Linux? · · Score: 0

    I used it because Partition Magic was a awful awful program, yay fdisk. And also I could use it to backup and fix certain problems with badly broken windows computers.

  5. I don't care if it got virtual XP. on Windows 7 To Include "Windows XP Mode" · · Score: -1

    I still won't buy a Microsoft product. XP sucks there is no getting around that just because it is better than Vista doesn't make it a good os nor give me the desire to run it in VM. Lately I have been helping friends fix there XP/Vista boxes and it is a horrible experience for me, long hrs of watching progress bars inch there way across the screen. Wasting my time in the evenings after work that I'd rather spend with my kids. Has anyone ever thought to calculate how much time MS has taken from people with to progress bar or registry and they make you pay for the privilege. And an OS shouldn't have different versions Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions. And can you ever be truly happy if you got Professional when you could get Ultimate?

  6. Pull out the Commodore.. on A Secure OS For the Dalai Lama? · · Score: 0

    BBS anyone? I'd like to see some backdoors for the Commodore. The whole problem is people want fancy graphic interfaces. Blame the GUI not the platform.

  7. Re:Well so much for gamers being able to say... on Konami Announces a Game Based On a 2004 Battle In Fallujah · · Score: 0

    Well maybe it is time to start banning games seems there is no sense of good taste in todays games. Just a bunch of sickos that are to chicken shit to shoot someone so they pretend to kill sand niggers. But they are brown they are not real people why should we care if a bunch of assholes killed them for shits and giggles under the PRETEXT of WMD's. Iraqis don't have rights seems to be a pretty predominate theme around here.

  8. Well so much for gamers being able to say... on Konami Announces a Game Based On a 2004 Battle In Fallujah · · Score: 0

    'But its not real.' Lets go kill people under the guise of finding expired sarin gas and then we will make a game of it. Maybe we will have a Columbine game or some such. At least then pathetic dorks can shoot classmates right from the comfort of their mom's basement.

  9. Isn't that why we have court... on UK Libel Law Is a Global Threat To Web Free Speech · · Score: 1, Interesting

    So that the filthy stinking rich can do whatever they want. The powers that be can accuse you of anything and if you don't have the money you can't defend yourself. Especially lately where the whole innocent until proven guilty no longer exists. The onus is on you to prove your not guilty at quite a substantial cost. There is also no penalty for making false accusations which allows extreme abuse of the law. In Canada now there are some laws police are allowed to administer a summary penalty with no chance to ever prove your innocence. And no recourse before the courts,you can't even appeal to a judge. And this is illegal under Canadian constitution but you are not allowed to take the matter to court. So much for having a Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms if you are not allowed to exercise your supposed rights.

  10. Sorry bad link here it is... on Vast Electronic Spying Operation Discovered · · Score: 0
  11. Isn't China big on the (pirated) Microsoft.. on Vast Electronic Spying Operation Discovered · · Score: 0

    products. Why try and trick someone into installing malware when Microsoft sells the latest version of Windows with built in backdoors for our governments to spy on us.

  12. Re:Does C02 weight more or less than normal air... on The Global Warming Heretic · · Score: 0

    Oh and also how did the Viking's grow grapes in Greenland. They probably really liked ice wine right?

  13. Does C02 weight more or less than normal air... on The Global Warming Heretic · · Score: 0

    I can't believe the stupidity of some of you. Why don't we switch over to C02 instead of helium for balloons? They would probably float much better than helium seeing that C02 is so light it all floats up to space damn near. This reminds me of the Monty Python skit in Quest for the Holy Grail when they are trying to determine if the woman is a witch based on her weight compared to a duck. Cause ducks float yah know.

  14. Those serial numbers are silly anyway... on EA Won't Use DRM For The Sims 3 · · Score: 0

    DRM or not after Spore I won't by anymore EA games. Just like when Metalica/Napster incident happened I no longer listen to them and gave away my cd's after I got complaints about copyright infringement from my ISP. And I had the CD's so there was no infringement on anyones copyright.

  15. How about USB/wirelessUSB? on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 0

    I have one of those old IBM keyboards but the AT connector sucks. Its not to often I use a computer old enough to even have an AT connector.

  16. The faithfull zelots from both sides .... on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    do not belong in school. Evolutionists, ID'ers shouldn't be allowed to spew their propaganda in public schools. None of this is science just silly speculation to justify what they believe. For example of science "Water boils at 100c and freeze at 0c" this is scientific fact. The origin of life or any such nonsense is just speculation. Did someone go back it time and video something? It isn't fact. People beliefs do not belong in school, if they want to study evolution or whatever they can do it in college. On their dollar. I don't want my tax dollars going to further anyones foolish agenda.

  17. I buy lots of CD's but.... on 17 Million People Stopped Buying CDs In 2008 · · Score: 0

    lately I've bought way fewer because the cd's I want to buy are no longer available. And it's not even really rare cd's stuff like Great White, Dokken, Krokus and Savatage basically all the 80's metal and hair bands. I don't want to pay for downloads I want a cd with cool art on it that I can put in the cubby of my truck dash. Switching cd's is also much safer when driving. I will not pay for a download when I buy something I want something real. Also is the music company going to by me a ipod for being such a valued customer? I think not. My truck is an 06 all it got is a cd player. Long live Hair Nation or the sat radio is going out the window.

  18. Joking? on Suspect Freed After Exposing Cop's Facebook Status · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How is it joking? Jokes are supposed to be funny, not hurt other people. The internet is a real place not some fantasy land. People are responsible for there comment regardless of what media they use to make their comment. If a terrorist make a threat on the internet should it just be dismissed because it was said on the internet. Oh I was just joking about blowing up the school. Should something like that be a defense, oh he said it on the internet so it was a joke.

  19. I think we need a new internet. on YouTube To Block Music Videos In the UK · · Score: 0

    Privatize an internet-like network then no more worries. Just don't let any party-poopers use it.

  20. Why the religion bashing ??? on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 0

    If you want to worship the great Dawkin go ahead but what gives you the right to attack christians? Anyone who believes in God can be ridiculed and its free speech. I'm not attacking your lord and saviour Dawkin so why attack mine. Who is the real religious fanatic here? You are. You only believe in equality if every one agrees with you. tisk tisk how childish and uneducated.

  21. Kansas? on The 300 Million Year Old Brain · · Score: 0

    Just a thought but that fish looks like a deep water ocean fish. Large eye for seeing in the dark. Is it a salt or freshwater fish? Why Kansas of all places?

  22. Apple is simply to expensive. on Apple Store Reopens With Many New Products · · Score: 0

    I was recently checking out the local Mac store when I realized something. I don't have $2500 -$3000 for a laptop that doesn't even have an optical drive. Sure the Mac looks cool kinda if your a one mouse button kinda guy but I need minimum three buttons. Later that day I went to Wal-Mart bought an Acer Aspire 5315 for $400. I was a bit upset about having to pay for Vista which I promptly deleted after phoning Acer tech support and giving them a piece of my mind. After my new laptop was was formated and the Windows stench was removed I installed Ubuntu. And with Linux there are a few good games based on ID's engines that remind me of the good old Lan party days before hi-speed internet.

  23. Why would anyone buy a kindle? on Reading the New York Times On a Kindle 2 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Come on batteries to read a book (well maybe at night time, saves on flashlight batteries). The kindle is for selfish people. Now when I buy a paper be it the Times or whatever; when I am done with it I leave it at the diner or coffee shop someone else get to read it. (Hmm wonder if that copyright infringement) Then when it gets thrown out some bum get to use it for a pillow and/or blanket or some such. (Can you imagine a bum cuddled up to an old Kindle not to warm I'd imagine)
