  1. Loudness on The Cell Phone Has Changed — New Etiquette Needed · · Score: 1

    If you can't be heard talking in a normal voice and need to be extra loud, be prepared to be bitch slapped into silence.

  2. Now you understand on Microsoft Dodges Class Action In WGA Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The advantages of donating to both sides in every election are obvious now.

  3. Re:Who cares? on Microsoft Says Upgrade To IE8, Even Though It's Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Firefox is the default. The last time I used IE was in school where the machines didn't allow choice. I used Netscape until Firefox came out because Gates doesn't tell me what to use, unless he pays for my computer and the electric bill to run it.

    I don't think they have a version of IE for Linux anyway. The only time I even start XP is to play games.

  4. Who cares? on Microsoft Says Upgrade To IE8, Even Though It's Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    I haven't used IE in any form for 5 years. Any web page that I can't see in Firefox doesn't want my business. The only way to start IE on my computer is to run the .exe file since there are no shortcuts or icons anywhere.

  5. Re:AT&T Not Voiding the Cards? on DC Sues AT&T For Unclaimed Phone Minutes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The spendocrats in DC see potential untapped money to waste?

  6. Typical of the fools. on TSA Subpoenas Bloggers Over New Security Directive · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Another proof, to join the seemingly endless list, that Napolitano is totally unqualified to head DHS. A talking head on TV this week made the following reference to her "leadership ability"; She couldn't lead Tiger Woods to a free weekend at a whorehouse!

    I am beginning to wonder if there are any qualified people in this administration at all.

  7. The better question on Really Misleading Ads From Broadband Providers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Has anyone seen an ad from a broadband provider that wasn't misleading?

  8. Re:Good luck with that, Howard on Cyber-Security Czar To Be Named · · Score: 1

    This whole administration is nothing but theoreticians who have never actually done anything in the real world. Why would anyone expect good solutions to anything?

  9. Simple on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 1

    It's called freedom of speech and Grayson is a fool. He is just showing one of the main problems with Washington this year. The Dems can't accept any criticism of any kind. They try to ridicule it (Palin, Tea Parties) or counter attack with everything they have (Fox News). The most thin skinned bunch that has been there in my 53 years of life. If they weren't trying to destroy the country it would be funny.

  10. Re:Good luck with that, Howard on Cyber-Security Czar To Be Named · · Score: 0

    Typical Government job. All the responsibility and no authority to do anything.

  11. I wonder on FBI Bringing Biometric Photo Scanning To North Carolina, Via DMV · · Score: 1

    If having a Birthday in Nov. (when the pic is taken) when I have my winter beard screws up their calculations?

  12. What a waste. on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    Obama was sworn in on January 20th and Nomination had to be submitted by February 1. He sure did a lot in 11 days!
    Lets continues to degrade a once significant award with idiotic recipients who have not earned it, Obama, Carter, Arafat, Gore...

  13. Solution to the real problem on Tour Companies Battle Over Trademarked Duck Noises · · Score: 1

    Over the course of a generation we could solve 95% of this problem. Just enforce forced sterilization of trial lawyers. As the breed dies out so does the root problem.

    This case is proof that you can find a shyster to do anything if you wave money in front of him.

  14. Re:Brain damage on Military Helmet Design Contributes To Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    Helmets have never been designed to be bullet resistant. The weight would damn near kill you. The provide protection from shrapnel and debris, the newer ones are better but nothing is perfect.

  15. Damn! on Military Helmet Design Contributes To Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    This might explain what happened to a friend of mine who died last month. He did say he got blown up 4 times over there and never had a scratch. He also spent 2 years at Brooks Army Hospital with brain damage.

  16. OK on Woman Fired For Using Uppercase In Email · · Score: 1

    This PC crap has gone too far!

    Oops, that same twit will try to fire me now!

  17. Re:Obvious on Emergency Government Control of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    That's why the whole ill fated report "suspicious" emails farce? They are confused by simple questions. It might be time for Obama to quit campaigning and try to show some true leadership, if he knows how.

    The level of opposition and the language is maybe 25% of what was hurled at Bush. If it reaches 50% I expect this bunch of cowards to proclaim martial law!

  18. Oh on Spammers Use Holes In Democrats.org Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I thought it was just standard propaganda from them.

    Silly me.

  19. Re:Obvious on Emergency Government Control of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    There is no need for any politician to be able to control the internet at any time!

  20. Obvious on Emergency Government Control of the Internet? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The current Administration is afraid of the Citizens. I Wonder why that is? Could it be out of control spending? Congressional leaders(?) calling concerned people a rabble? Those same Congresscritters doing what they want in spite of the wishes of their districts?

    No wonder the far left are the ones who push for gun control, their policies are the ones that will cause armed insurrection.

  21. Re:"RIAA loses" on RIAA Loses Case Against Launch Media · · Score: 1

    I don't think I would get bored if it was less that 2 or 3 times a day!

  22. It's just a game! on Making the Case That Virtual Property Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 1

    It is not reality.
    If you think it is, come out of your parents basement and get a job!

  23. OMG! on DARPA Builds Smarter Version of Microsoft's Clippy · · Score: 1

    Find the design site and nuke it before this escapes!

  24. Just like everything else this year. on DHS Pathogen Lab To Be Built In "Tornado Alley" · · Score: 1

    Let's see "Department of Homeland Security is relying on a rushed, flawed study"
    This sounds like every bill passed by the Thundering Herd of Dumbass formerly know as Congress this year.
    Rushed and flawed should be the motto of the Obama Administration!

  25. Re:Memories on How They Built the Software of Apollo 11 · · Score: 1

    Boeing did several of the systems on the LEM.
    If you're talking about Seawolf, GE had the project and sold it after a year or so. That work was in Syracuse, NY. Where he spent 3 years on the project as a temp.
