  1. Wait a second on Debian Etch to be Released in December · · Score: 2, Funny

    What? Debian Etch is going to be released already? Damn. Not too long ago, I was playing with Woody (hey, stop giggling), and more recently, with Sarge (I said, stop giggling, frickin' school girls).

    Debian goes way to fast for me! Argh! I can't keep up!

  2. Re:Universal Healthcare? on Americans Are Seriously Sick · · Score: 1

    Thank you Mr. Ad Hominem.

    By the way, how typical is it for a democrat to be enrolled in the military?

    She does want everyone to take responsibility for themselves, but she also realizes that people go through hard times that are not of their own doing.

  3. Universal Healthcare? on Americans Are Seriously Sick · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A friend of mine who is typically an ardent democrat told a Democratic Party representative (who was asking her for money) told the representative that she'll give the Party money as soon as they get her universal healthcare.

    Perhaps she's being a little unreasonable, but then again, if the Democratic Party continues to be ineffective, and impotent, perhaps we should be looking towards a party that does have the courage to stand up to the Republicans and actually get things like universal healthcare into the running for issues.

  4. Re:Why is it sad? on Wisdom From The Last Ninja · · Score: 1

    It's sad from an anthropological standpoint. It's sad from the standpoint that I think that there is a lot of potentially lost history behind Ninjitsu schools. It's sad from the perspective that we could learn a lot about human nature by studying the Ninjitsu artform.

    I don't lament change. I lament the knowledge lost to the world when such groups die. History helps us understand the nature of the human beast, and that knowledge is lost with the loss of such groups.

  5. Joking aside on Wisdom From The Last Ninja · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is sad to see an art form like this die out. It's a little like seeing a species without a purpose die out. Sure it's a dinosaur, but it's still interesting to study and learn about.

    If I were him, I, too, would probably lament the popular images of ninjas. Hollywood has definitely bastardized it, and disgraced the legend of the ninja.

  6. Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! on Timeline Set for Intel/AMD Antitrust Trial · · Score: 2, Funny

    Come watch at the Court of the Mega-arena as two eternal rivals are pitted against each other in the legal battle of the century!

    Will AMD take revenge upon Intel? Will Intel be crushed under years of litigation from AMD? Watch for the exciting conclusion next time on, "The Processors." <soap_opera>

    Umm, I think you misspelled tokers.

  10. Netscape made mistakes too on Lessons from the Browser Wars · · Score: 3, Informative

    Navigator v3 and 4 were not that great compared to IE v3 and 4.

    Also, after around v4.5, Netscape didn't release a new version of the browser for about two or three years, while IE's development progressed in spades in comparison. They could have at least done some parallel development with the 4.5 code base to release 5.0 while waiting on the Mozilla team.

  11. Re:It already exists on Star Trek's Synthehol Now Possible? · · Score: 1

    Except potheads don't get angry. Ever been tackled by a stoner?

  12. The evolving virus on Hackers Serving Rootkits with Bagles · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I keep waiting for a virus based on genetic algorithms. I'm certain that it's only a matter of time.

  13. Re:NYTimes Article Access on Heads Roll As Microsoft Misses Vista Target · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Seems like poor design decision s have caught up with them.
    It was one design decision: backwards compatibility.

    I'll readily admit that I don't much like Microsoft or their software, but they must be commended upon their due diligence on this one aspect. A lot of software from Windows 3.0 can still run on XP.

    The OP said that Michael Dell wants to be Steve Jobs.

  15. Re:User generated content = quality? on The New Wisdom of the Web · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If one throws a million darts at a dartboard, it's highly unlikely that none of them will hit the bullseye.

  16. Re:Incompatible... on Online Test Measures Speed of your Brain · · Score: 1

    You're not compatible with your girlfriends? Those might not be girls that you're dating...not that there's anything wrong with that--I'm just letting you know.

  17. Ten yard fight? on Gaming Now and 20 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    I still have a special place in my heart for that game. It was fun getting to your endzone, then running back to the other endzone, and throwing the football all the way across to the other endzone and getting a touchdown. As long as the pass wasn't intercepted, everything was dandy.

    I guess it's a good thing that sex-starved geeks don't look at porn, huh?

  22. Re:Beside the point. on Google Faces Wall Street Revolt · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And if the shareholders also say "do no evil?" I would imagine that a majority of the shareholders understand what they are getting themselves into. If they didn't, then they're buying into the wrong company. It's not as though someone is holding a gun to their head telling them to buy GOOG. That is the idea of the free market, though, right?

  23. The fall of the CPC? on Chinese Journalists Beat Censorship With Web · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've been noticing a lot of press on China lately, and it seems that reporters are taking braver actions than before. Do these events portend the fall of the China Communist Party? Will the CPC fall from within? If it does, that would be a wonderful tribute to the strength of human will, especially considering that the Iron Curtain required external help.

  24. Not scientists' fault on The Politically Incorrect Science Fair · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All I have to say is that much of the fault for the politicization of science lies not with scientists.

    PS Politicization isn't a word, but I'm not sure there's a better term.

  25. Least Developed Countries on Ebola Vaccine Passes Initial Human Tests · · Score: 1

    Since the primary victims of this disease are impoverished, will this be given at no cost to them?

    If not, then the research was moot.
