    I think George Carlin said it best. Americans are full of shit. Americans like their bullshit upclose where they can get a good strong whiff of it. This is why they elected and re-elected Bill Clinton.

  3. Re:How can they do that? on Mitnick Ordered Off Lecture Circuit · · Score: 1
    not to say that I agree with the feds, but I believe it is true that convicted felons do not have the same civil and legal rights as the rest of us. I believe their set of "rights" is limited.

    I know that convicts are no longer allowed to have any type of firearm in posession.

    I guess that would include firecrackers too

  6. New Extended AOL keyboard on AOL Joins The Hardware Marketeers · · Score: 1

    These new keyboards not only have the extra aol keys, but will have a small LCD panel that will give you all those nice AOL ads. Sure you can cover up the LCD panel but they keyboard has a "LCD Panel being covered" sensor which will make the keyboard driver post the ads on your screen. Any attempt to use your old keyboard will result in the destruction of your computer.

  7. Re:Drunk driving assholes on Update on Jason Haas Car Accident · · Score: 1

    Sadly, this is what happens when people drink and drive. Why is there a 'legal' limit? Isn't it still possible for someone to do this same thing after drinking part of a beer or something and be just under the legal limit? Personally, those legal limits should be 0.0. But then again, in Jason's case, I don't believe it would have helped. Or could it? Could the drunk have been pulled over before this happened and was just under?

    I'm glad my dad quit drinking 5 years ago. I wouldn't want even my enemies to go through the hell that I went through during his quitting process.

    Actually, M$ products have a very low (0) cost of ownership. M$ owns it, you just licence it. Big difference!

  18. Re:Ported to Linux? Not likely, UNIX maybe... on Microsoft On Linux: Forecast Or Fantasy? · · Score: 1
    If microsoft was to make a linux port of any of their products, it would mean admitting that there is a linux market that they can make money off, and that they do not dominate the operating system market - at least to themselves and their supportors.

    Oh no, they'll just do this to say "See Judge? We don't have the only operating system available!"

    Remember MAME being ported to the Kodak digital camera? Just think, Linux on your cell phone!

Laugh at corporate droids

    If we do this, we can port xmms to it and hope they put enough memory in the thing to play a few hours of mp3's while we aren't talking on the phone.

    Imagine, if you will, as you drive past a grocery store, you recieve an instant e-coupon for $1.25 off a 6 pack of bud.
    Upon recieving this little blipvert, you go into the store to pickup your 6 pack. Happy that you've saved 1.25 on the price, you open a can as you drive and phone a friend to tell him about this wonderfull deal.

    Don't forget, they'll also contact the police and tell them you're drinking and driving. More tickets!
