  1. Re:RFID chips in laundry on Hotel Tracks Towels With RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    I'd laugh too except it makes me want to cry too much

  2. Re:The True Story on Mystery Air Crash Black Box Found Sans Memory Part · · Score: 1

    Geez, I was just about to fill in everyone about this, but there's always some wise ass who beats me to it. What a compleat downer, dood!

    Now, if only they make it mandatory for those governors of the states (Texas, Georgia, Alabama, et al.) requesting emergency federal aid to fork over THEIR birth certificates.

    Of course, I'm sure Donald Trump has already forged an American birth certificate for his hairpiece, who recently announced it, too, is running for the presidency (should be some serious competition for Bachmannmeister).

    forgive me if I'm wrong, but there is no law that says you have to be born a us citizen to be a governator. As much as I would love to think that Obama is Kenyan I find it pretty hard to believe that not even the donald has turned up proof otherwise. I mean if we can elect a Kenyan to president, then austria can't be far behind.

    Though the thought of "I'll be back" as a presidential slogan scares the bajesus out of me. That would be proof that the machines are coming and I don't like that thought a whole lot.

  5. Re:Not so off base me thinks. on Mac Users More Liberal Than Windows Users · · Score: 1

    I actually love my Windows 7 machine. I love the OS, I love how all my hardware works. I love how 7 works by getting the hell out of my way and lets me get things done :) I did get my 1st bluescreen on 7 a couple of days ago though. Freaked me right the hell out lol. I had over overclocked my new HD6990 video card and the ATI drivers took down windows. Something I haven't seen on 7 before [and I use it 10+ hours a day 6+ days a week since it was in early beta.] My OS X box has kernel panic'd so many times I stopped counting lol. To me OSX is like windows 98. It works [mostly] but you're not actually physically supprised when it crashes lol. And for some reason it always works better after a reboot. Hope those tablets are better.

  6. Not so off base me thinks. on Mac Users More Liberal Than Windows Users · · Score: 1

    I have hated macs well before there where macs, since the days I was forced to use an Apple IIe. My hatred for Jobs does cloud my judgement some but the simple observation I have always said is that Macs were designed for Left handed people. Right brain thinkers. It's for people who like their bottons on the left and a desire to have form over function. Windows users [the ones who actually know how to use a computer] tend to want Function over form and the ability to actually get work done. That's just me though.

  7. and so it begins on Robot Throws First Pitch At Phillies Game · · Score: 1

    1st they learn to toss a ball, next thing you know they are tossing nukes. This can not end well.

  8. 3G plan why? on The Tablet Debate: 3G Or Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    Don't most providers also provide 3G and now 4G usb modems? And don't all if not most tablets have a usb port? If so why get stuck with a 2 year plan when you can have the best of both worlds with 0 lock in?

    Only if you call a i7 920 that's been running awesome @ 4.2Ghz since day one. pumping through 12 gigs ddr 3 1600 memory. I just wish something would come out that is worthy of upgrading TO.

    Pretty bloody clever but the lag must be awful.

    roger that, the kinect is kind of laggy on my Xbox and its even more laggy on my pc, I'd HATE to see the lag using a pc as a bridge device. yikes.

  12. This has now happened to me twice. on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    Well not "this" but that. And by that I mean I use ATI graphics cards and hate AMD. Then AMD Bought ATI, I use T-Mobile because I hate AT&T and now this? I can't win for losing. Christ, what's next. Apple buys Microsoft?

  13. Al Franken ticks me off on Al Franken Makes a Case For Net Neutrality · · Score: 4, Interesting

    He is the only politician I don't hate. I don't hate too many things but lawyers and politicians [normally one and the same] are my 2. I think because Franken was not a lawyer before becoming a politician is why he seems to actually care about what is going on. The rest? Just there for a way too big paycheck [and not always from uncle sam]. I nice quote of his from a while back Sen. Al Franken: "I May Not Be A Lawyer, But Neither Are The Majority Of Americans" Gotta love this man.

  14. Re:You know why? on The Story of My As-Yet-Unverified Impact Crater · · Score: 1

    Whilst this was informative I don't see the need to belittle the person as you did. Did it somehow make you feel superior? I guess calling somebody an idiot is ok. Shame.

  20. Sea Sparrows in 2010? WHAT? on Warships May Get Lasers For Close-In Defense · · Score: 1

    They are STILL using sea sparrows? omg. Back in 1982 we fired 5 sea sparrows and of the 5 2 did not launch, 2 want completely off course and the other one missed. NOT exactly a working tech. Plus in 82 we were firing missles from the 60's. Well they do not work. We were then fitted with a Phalanx system which is a R2D2 looking thing that is totally awesome. But this was what, 28 years ago and they are STILL using sea sparrows? Wow I feel sorry for the squids on those boats if they ever need them.

    I've been telling my customers for years about how wonderful the hardware that dell uses is. And by wonderful I mean you buy one, hope you get a year out of it, then buy another. I have a stack of Dell/HP/All other junk machine motherboards all with puffed caps. Kind of Makes my job much easier. Customer calls and says thier pc is crashing or wont start. I ask what brand, they say dell, and I know right away what to look for. 2 seconds to open the machine. 2 more seconds to see the puffed caps. 2 minutes explaining why and what happened. 5 minutes later I have a check to build them a new pc. You know. I guess I love dell.
