  1. Re:Currently inducing a headache... on AT&T Goes After Copper Wire Thieves · · Score: 1

    Unlike you, I provide anyone reading this comment with an easy way to track every comment I've made on this site. So far you've used 3 of your multiple personalities in your conversation, how can anyone possibly get a grip on what you stand for?

    As for cowering, are you anywhere near Houston? I'd be quite happy to meet up with you and discuss this in person.

    Someone has to pay for the healthcare. If poor people can't afford it it must be the rich people who are paying for the poor people's healthcare. Effectively redistributing wealth from the rich people to the poor people who need it.

    Tax breaks for the wealthy allow people to keep the wealth they already have. It's the opposite of redistributing wealth.

    Not that I agree with his points, but his logic is internally consistent.

    Actually it was my father who came up with the name.

    you beg for the praise of those entrusted with the responsibility of moderating this website internet chat room messageboard. you're completely pathetic.

    See, the way it works is that good comments get good moderation and bad comments get bad moderation, that way when you look at the site, you see the good comments first and have to look for the bad comments. No one gives a shit about the praise of the mods.

    if i, and those like me who remember what this site used to be, continue to do nothing, then nothing will change. that is the implication of stagnation, moron.

    No, not only do you want the site to stagnate, you actively want it to go backwards?

  6. So what is a defense? on Supreme Court Refuses P2P 'Innocent Sharing' Case · · Score: 1

    "innocence" was no defense

    If even innocence isn't a defense, then what the hell chance does anyone have? I can just sue you for some random thing, and the fact that you're completely innocent doesn't help you!

    It's awesome how you can look up a date on wikipedia isn't it?

  8. Re:The only free market is the black market on Level 3 Shaken Down By Comcast Over Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    You're not thinking far enough ahead. Totally free market: no laws at all. Every corporation would have it's own standing army, then property rights extend to whatever your army can defend. The only incentive to following through on a contract is the size of their army.

    Anybody would be free to raise up their own army, so it would be a completely level playing field.

    It only needs an immobilizer if it's less than 30 years old. I know this because I recently bought an HZ with no immobilizer.

    Since they actually have something, surely they did at least some at least once.

    That could probably be made to be more efficient than a gasoline powered car. If your generator is well designed, and you run it 100% at it's peak efficiency rpm, then you make up a little more with the cars regenerative breaking, you may just save more fuel than you lose through the inefficiencies of having two separate systems...

    Forgive me if I'm reading this wrong, but is this 'story' just a link to photos of some Thanksgiving food?

    It means six. In this context it's relating to the sixth day of the week, i.e. Friday.

    Ironically, isn't an ejaculating penis also a symbol used by a lot of Buddhists (for fertility)?

    (My source for this is long way round with Ewan McGregor.)

    (Is that the correct use of ironically? I can never tell. Is that ironic?)

  15. Re:Hmmm, don't really like the guys tone on Xbox Live Enforcement — No Swastika Logo · · Score: 1

    Symbols have no meaning other than that which has been ascribed to them by the persons looking at it. Sure, it used to represent peace and love and all that hippie crap, but for the western world today it carries the meaning ascribed to it by the Nazi Party of Germany.

    Still, a hybrid solution could give you the best of both worlds. Hoist your sails when the wind is with you. Crank up your engine when it isn't.

    There probably is a good reason that these didn't just follow on from the old sailing ships though...

    I won't go that far, but I've sent off for the free sample of Extenz, and I'm going to take that before the screening. I'm also thinking about wearing a kilt. I'm hoping they'll ask me if I know what they're going to do so I can say something along the lines of "I've been looking forward to it." Depending on how it goes, I might finish off with a quip like "What, no happy ending?"

    Probability that I'll have the balls to go through with it: low

    Let me guess, you're one of the special people who were born with the right genes that allowed you to go into computer science? You're virtually a super-hero!

    Please elaborate the special set of circumstances that are required to generate these remarkable people who are especially qualified to work with computers. What are the rest of us lacking that precludes us from those lines of work, yet still allows us to pursue careers in other challenging areas that seem to pay better.
