  1. Re: Statist/leftist news on Two US Marines Foil Terrorist Attack On Train In France · · Score: 1

    Are you saying we don't need a police force or the military?

  2. Re: The real message is lost on you on Two US Marines Foil Terrorist Attack On Train In France · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't Mr Rapist also be armed with a gun? Why wouldn't the three guys that burst into your house be armed? Would they be nice enough to let the victim grab their gun?

  3. Re: I volunteer as tribute. on MIT Researchers Discover "Metabolic Master Switch" To Control Obesity · · Score: 0

    I don't have one of those but I'm still thin. The way I do it is to not have a really shit diet. Stop making excuses.

  4. Re: Go abroad on Evidence That H-1B Holders Don't Replace US Workers · · Score: 1

    Language and strict immigration requirements would stop most. Learning another language is hard unless you're immersed in it.

  5. Re: Sounds like an ad on Italian City To Dump OpenOffice For Microsoft After Four Years · · Score: 1

    It's very relevant to a number of people in a large number of businesses who are Excel's primary audience. This is a story about a city administration who will be using Office for many things that home users wouldn't. Your delusions notwithstanding.

  6. Re: Sounds like an ad on Italian City To Dump OpenOffice For Microsoft After Four Years · · Score: 2

    Pulling data from an external data source and reporting on it is a pretty common use of Excel in businesses. It's hardly an edge case.

  7. Re: For the love of... on Microsoft Patches Remote Code Execution Hole for Internet Explorer · · Score: 0

    Or it fails with the message "Something happened". Whoever thought that was an appropriate message should be beaten with a rubber hose.

    Or a successful actor?

  9. Re: And what might this cost? on IBM Launches Linux-Only Mainframes · · Score: 1

    Is it mainframescale?

  10. Re: Why not start now..and take if further? on Airline Begins Weighing Passengers For 'Safety' · · Score: 1

    Non-discriminatory? Men will be charged more for a start being taller and heavier.

  11. You've only got yourselves to blame on Will Ad Blockers Kill the Digital Media Industry? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I made the mistake of opening a link to a games website in IE not long ago and ended up having to kill it because it brought the browser to its knees. I opened it in Chrome with Disconnect and click to play Flash and it loaded pretty much instantly. You made your bed and then shit in it as well. Don't complain about having to lie in it now.

    Like "fixed that for you" or similar? :-P

    Until you reboot and then it disappears smartass. Next you'll be telling us to update autoexec.bat

  14. Possibly but do Apple have more leverage than Microsoft in their heyday? That's what I'm getting at. Why would Apple get a free pass when no one else in the tech industry has?

  15. Ah I'd forgotten about that. I don't know much about the US legal system so I'm assuming that as you're saying the DoJ ignored Apple's violations that federal judges aren't part of that organisation.

  16. If only Microsoft, Google and Intel had thought of that. You still haven't said what anti trust violations Apple is guilty of.

  17. What anti trust rules have Apple broken and why do you think the government is treating them differently to Google, Microsoft, Intel and the RAM cartel?

    You think the Nazis were socialists? How cute. I bet you think the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy too.

  19. Re: Good on U.K. Government Seeking To End Reliance On Oracle · · Score: 1

    Except that most government departments in the UK have been told to find 22 billion in savings between them over the next 5 years so looking at the huge amounts being paid to IT companies are coming under scrutiny.

    A complete rewrite of a number of UK government systems. What could be simpler!

  21. Re: Oh boy, here we go... on Obama Unveils Major Climate Change Proposal · · Score: 1

    Nuclear has a long history of irresponsible use. People are not afraid of it just because. They don't trust their government and/or private sector contractors not to cut corners and put people at risk.

  22. Ruth Gregory? on Tiny Black Holes Could Trigger Collapse of Universe—Except That They Don't · · Score: 1

  24. Re: CPU not compatible on Windows 10 Upgrade Strategies, Pitfalls and Fixes As MSFT Servers Are Hit Hard · · Score: 1

    True but sometimes it's more hindrance than help especially in the case of "an unexpected error has occurred". Microsoft error messages are often too wordy and utterly useless at the same time.
