  1. Pic on Repairman Steals Hard Drive And Charges To Reinstall It · · Score: 1

    Look at the moron, I doubt he is smart enough to know how they caught up with them. The bad thing is others said he did the same to them...but was not reported. http://www.meetup.com/referralweb/members/7717367/photos/

    Woosh Yes I think he does, maybe the long discussion of open source Netscape being vaporware is before your time or something.

    Are you sure you don't mean WenDOS, sorry bad pun

  4. Re:Borland Turbo Assembler on Borland Being Purchased By Micro Focus · · Score: 1

    Yes, as did I, good times indeed. Borland split that off long ago...about um 2006. They spun it off as codegear with the intention of selling off their ide stuff, and then codegear got bought up by embarcadero in 2008. I guess borland didn't want my money anymore as for the enterprise version I drop $1500 for an upgrade copy every couple of years. I find that was a pretty stupid idea...well not as stupid as changing their name in 1999 to inprise...well at least they undid that in 2001 and went back to borland...but still pretty dumb. I still use it every day...well kinda, it lives on here: http://www.codegear.com/products/cppbuilder You can get a free version(s) here: http://downloads.embarcadero.com/free/c_builder I also used turbo pascal way back when, but when delphi came out I ignored it since their PR department touted it as a totally new thing instead of visual pascal, so I never got into delphi since I had no idea it was pascal at the time. and turbo pascal (ok turbo delpi) here: http://downloads.embarcadero.com/free/delphi

  5. Re:Possibly because it worked? on Reliable Male Contraceptive In the Works · · Score: 1

    Testosterone also has the side effect of making the gonads grow. I want a big set of kahunas like the next guy, but some point it might be a little awkward if they got to the size of baseballs, well unless you were already bowlegged. Also it makes the hair on the face and balls grow, so some might get tired of the extra work involved.

    LOL, I'd mod you up if I could.

  7. Re:Who cares? on It's Not the 15th Birthday of Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is true, I am a Christian and the fact is Jesus was probably not born on Dec 25th does not bother me no more than birthdays of various people (such as Washington's birthday being celebrated on the 3rd Monday of February. As long as its celebrated that's all that matters....he could have been born then but probably not. In around 350 ad, Pope Julius declared that it would be celebrated on December 25. This was to make it easier on the Romans who celebrated their pagan winter solstice holiday on that day...it was called Yule...and this is where the word yuletide came from that is often used to relate to Christmas songs :).

  9. Re:Ssssh....nobody tell Charlie Sheen on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they still are, my son had it a couple of times I think when he was less that a year...he is now 3 1/2 ... and he should be getting a booster when he is 4 I believe, I was basing my response on those above me so I figured it had changed recently. I think it was optional, but recommended then though as I recall, but I had it done.

  10. Re:Ssssh....nobody tell Charlie Sheen on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 1

    My point is simply that they need to totally eradicate it before they declare it gone. I wonder if they can get into Canada, ask to be declared a citizen and take a day trip and drive to the US. Not likely I admit, but it would only take one.

  11. Boring on Race For the "God Particle" Heats Up · · Score: 1

    "But don't forget, there is also a whole spectrum of physics to be investigated at the LHC which the Tevatron can never do." Yea the Tevatron is a lot more boring too, is not likely to make black holes that may or may not swallow itself and/or parts of the planet

    Yes thank them, but they should still be giving the polio vaccine, so don't thank the cdc. One 3rd world country carrier could bring it back to the US and we are once again sitting ducks since none of the current generation are vaccinated.

  19. Re:Just reset your clock on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    So do I, windows 95 had something like 13 floppies which in itself started you on the wrong side of good luck. Also they formatted them special to hold more (and it made them a little harder to copy). And copies were necessary since the chances of a bad floppy were high due to the special format and sheer number of disks.

    They should be automatically tax audited and that used to determine the amount, and charge them extra for the untimely audit. Plus that will add to their pain, if we break the rules, we get audited.

    Can't they move this thing to the moon and control it remotely, they should have plenty of room for a nuclear power plant of its very own...and if it gets swallowed in a small black hole at least we might have a chance.
