  1. Re:What a waste of time on Funeral Being Held Today For IE6 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thanks for the long condescending response. If you enjoy standing in a cemetery, pretending you're at a funeral than I guess you're in luck. After all, that is clearly the same as drinking at a bar.

  2. Re:IRONY DETECTOR OVERLOAD on Funeral Being Held Today For IE6 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm at home, drinking a cup of coffee, reading a news article in the morning. Not dressed up, at a fake funeral for a piece of computer software that isn't dead anyway. Take your sarcastic comments and dull sense of humor and shove them up your pretentious ass.

    What's wrong with these people?

  4. Re:Sweet spot on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    I have not bought a video game in ten years and have never gotten a virus or trojan. The notion that all pirated games are loaded with viruses is a misconception.

  5. Re: Who cares either way? on Debunking a Climate-Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    No, but if companies started airing commercials around the clock stating I needed to buy such and such product in order to prevent terrorism it would make me wonder how much danger I was actually in.

  6. Who cares either way? on Debunking a Climate-Change Skeptic · · Score: 1, Troll

    I don't really believe in global warming, only because I see so many companies using it as a scare tactic to make money. I can't take it seriously. Every commercial break is a barrage of "go green" propaganda. But I'll be the first to admit I've read nothing scientific about climate change. I honestly don't care either way. I'm not interested at all in "saving the earth maaaaan." I'd rather just go about my life. As far as I'm concerned, the world can go up in flames the second I die. Sorry if I sound like a troll, I really don't intend to. Just wondering if there are others out there who feel the same as me.

  7. Another tax on Craig Mundie Wants "Internet Driver's Licenses" · · Score: 1

    This is stupid for a number of reason. Even if this was implemented (which it never will be), it would end up being nothing but another fine to pay the government every few years for enjoying life.

  8. Pretty stupid to convict someone for this on Man in Court Over Simpsons Porn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those type of images are kinda funny. I've seen them posted on message boards and various places dozens of times over the years. I don't think Simpson's porn is actually created to arouse anyone, it's just for jokes.

  9. Always has been very boring on Critics Call For NASA TV To "Liven Up" · · Score: 1

    Growing up, the monotony of the NASA channel was always a running joke between my friends and I. The majority of the time, all the channel showed was a wide shot of alot of people in a control center working, with no sound or commentary whatsoever. I don't see how that could be interesting to anyone.

  10. Enough with the Aspergers on Hacker McKinnon To Be Extradited To US · · Score: 1

    Asperger's is an over diagnosed, fad, crutch disease that every one claims to have in order to feel special. If you have Asperger's why are you on a message board leaving long comments to other people? I couldn't throw a rock without hitting someone whose doctor says he has Asperger's just because he has eccentric personality traits like every other human being on the planet.

  11. Re:You'll enjoy the trip more on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Well I guess if you want to plan for every scenario and have every convenience possible then you could bring a number of items, but I don't like worrying about or lugging around lot of stuff when I travel. I went to Russia for 2 weeks this summer and didn't bring anything electronic but my camera and PSP. Didn't even have a cell phone while I was there. I sent my mom a post card and told her about the trip when I got home. To each his own.

    Leave the computer at home.

  13. Re:Hmm on AU Senator Calls Scientology a "Criminal Organization" · · Score: 1

    Eh, I would say most religions aren't scams. I'm not very religious, but alot of Christian churches help people without asking much in return. All churches ask for money because it has to come from somewhere, but giving money isn't a condition for attending. I don't know much about other religions. But yeah, Scientology is stupid.

  14. blind scumbag on Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony · · Score: 0, Troll

    How could you possibly make a video game accessible to the blind without undue financial strain? The fact that a company is even required to make their products available to the disabled is enraging. How about some common sense? This suit was clearly filed by some greedy blind guy looking for a quick pay off.I hope his seeing eye dog gets spooked and mauls him.

  15. Re:Windows 7 is better than Linux on Windows 7 On Multicore — How Much Faster? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm the type of guy that hates change. I used Windows 2000 until '06 when my copy finally quit working due to numerous re-installs (I hated solving problems and would just format whenever something came up). I learned to love XP and used it until about a month ago when I got a x64 system. I was gonna switch to XP64, but heard the driver support was terrible, especially for gaming. I read one x64 comparison between XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and the reviewers couldn't even get XP 64 stable enough to complete the test. But anyway, if your using it for business I guess that's not a big deal for you. I've been using Windows 7 a couple of months now, and have to say I really like it. It's a little more nannyish than XP, but it looks cool, and does streamline alot of things. I have 4 monitors connected to my PC, and getting them all to work in XP took hours. To my surprise, all 4 sprang to life halfway through the installation of Windows 7. I've never used Vista, but I haven't had any problems when streaming videos or music. I stream movies to other PCs and music to my iphone all the time with no problems. In my opinion, if XP64 is working for you, stick with it, but Windows 7 is cool to.

  16. Worth the legal fees? Who uses this OS? on Amiga and Hyperion Settle Ownership of AmigaOS · · Score: 1

    How does this company stay in business, and why would they pay legal fees to fight for ownership of this dead OS? Does anyone aside from a few dozen hardcore devotees use this operating system? If someone could give me a good answer, I would appreciate it, as I have wondered this for awhile.
