  1. What about the taxes on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the scalpers are paying taxes on the money they make ripping people off.

  2. Re:Why is it illegal? on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 1

    How about when I wanted to go to a concert in Edmonton and there were no tickets available first day they went on sale. They said it was sold out. Ticketmaster was giving the tickets to a subsidiary company to auction off at 10 times the face value. End result no one showed up for the concert because everyone thought it was sold out. Now the band won't play here anymore and although what Ticketmaster did was illegal the government said they have move important thing to do like give themselves 34% raises. Manitoba is the only province pretending to even do something about this.

  3. Re:Can't imagine what they hope to achieve on UN To Create Independent Panel To Review IPCC · · Score: 1

    Sorry for starting a silly argument but I live in Northern Canada. Nothing is melting in fact it's freezing and there are 8-10 feet hight drifts of snow in some areas. It's kind of hard to believe some one when they say its melting in my back yard when I look out the window and see otherwise.

  4. Re:They'd better fix this on Calendar Bug Disables Older PlayStation 3 Models · · Score: 1

    I got a 320 gig PS3 fat. Upgraded from the 40 gig when I fist bought it. If they are just going to hand out new consoles there better be some sucky sucky with that.

    The science has been explained clearly and nicely countless times.
    Sorry I never watched an "Inconvenient Truth". Or paid myself for carbon credits for that matter. http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/cover031307.htm"

    So would you vote for the Giant Douche or the Turd Sandwich?

  7. Re:Can't imagine what they hope to achieve on UN To Create Independent Panel To Review IPCC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They did not understand the science in the first place, which is why they were able to seize on small errors and blow them out of proportion.
    The climate change supporters always say "they just don't understand the science" so then why don't the climate scientists explain things very nice and clearly instead of making wild claims and picking on the minors and ignoring the majors and all the while refusing to show anyone their raw data.
    It is kind of like not showing your work in math class then whining that the teacher is unfair for accusing you of cheating. You can't prove you did any calculation right if you don't show your work.

  8. Re:FUD on The Future of OpenSolaris · · Score: 0

    Open solaris support is stupid it currently in backwards compatible to ver 2. Now Imagine if Windows was backwards compatible to Win 3.1. Sure my old games would like it but maintaining backwards compatability is stupid and I don't play my old games anymore. Look to the future and bigger and better and pull your head out of the past. And if you can't get you head out of the past please dedicate your life to building a time machine.

  11. Excuse me Mister Smartass troll. on Sony Joins the Offensive Against Pre-Owned Games · · Score: 0, Troll

    But I own a company and I can't do whatever I want. The size of the company is what matters not the company in itself. Large companies give LARGE campain contributions and so our goverment does whatever they are told in exchange for the money to get elected. So in short the large companies own the government. Has nothing to do with hippies.

    Quaker's are the "Society of Friends" not the Amish you speak of.

  13. Re:subversion on Subversives In South Carolina Mostly Safe · · Score: 1

    Hitler wanted too restore the glory of the Roman empire. Seriously look at the imagery, the military parade formations, crests and banners. And the Roman Empire created the Catholic church that promoted Hitler's rise to power.
    Wow sometimes I suprise myself. Maybe I should start a conspiracy website

  14. Re:You reinforce my point. on Subversives In South Carolina Mostly Safe · · Score: 1

    The label Quakers was a derogatory term given to the Society of Friends because of their habit of "quaking" during services.

  15. Re:subversion on Subversives In South Carolina Mostly Safe · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The brand of Christianity practiced in most of the western world is generally benign You mean like Chatholics and all their off shoots? Did you know that pope Joseph Ratzinger was a member of Hitler's Youth Party. But then again why did the Chatholic Church tell the German to vote for Hitler?

  16. You reinforce my point. on Subversives In South Carolina Mostly Safe · · Score: 1

    Quaker is a derogatory term used against members of a certain Christian faith. And for the record do the "Quakers" preach anything bad/evil against their fellow man? Or even against you for making fun of them?

    Maybe if you got money to burn on a long shot.
    Blackbery's storm kind of sucks (currently use) I would rather try google's phone before taking a chance with MS. Ever since that copy of Vista I bought when it first came out (which was the first MS product I had bought since I was a kid and bought their Force Feedback joystick..what a piece of crap). I won't by anything MS unless I test it first.
