  1. Re:investment == marketing pukes and ruining thing on Obama To Veto Anti-Net-Neutrality Legislation · · Score: 2

    First, writing fixed width doesn't make your point better. Stop it.

  2. Re:Better idea on Scott Adams Proposes a Fourth Branch of Government · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that only US elections have an insanely drawn-out timeframe, starting with the Primaries. No wonder it takes tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to run for President.

  3. Re:Anyone remember that "Bad Idea Jeans" skit on S on Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's RyanAir; this is just a publicity stunt since O'Leary hasn't been in the new recently for stating stupid ideas that'll never happen.

    except that would mean I'm buying oil from countries that finance terrorism and hate our guts; but that's another story

    You mean Canada?

    It's technical. I'll explain later.

  10. Re:Doesn't explain why. on Hotmail Mobile Usage Spikes Thanks To Apple iOS 5 · · Score: 1

    Would having a POP program poll the Inbox be sufficient, or do you have to physically go to the Hotmail web site and log in?

  11. Re:simple fix on Google Tweaks Algorithm As Concern Over Bing Grows · · Score: 1

    That's Google's own damn fault. Their own Trends/Hot Trends and Zeitgeist "features" allowed spammers to see in almost real-time what people were searching for, and then create spamdexes for any terms that show up. Repeat across a few domains, cross-link, and voila! instant content-less link farm. I'm sure someone at Google thought Hot Trends would be clever to show, but they certainly didn't think anyone would game the system.

    And don't even get me started on the tools who run referrer plug-ins that say "You were searching for these terms! Welcome to our useless web site!"

  12. Re:Why is Apple allowed to do things and not get s on Apple To Require Sandboxing For Mac App Store Apps · · Score: 1

    If there is a god, I'm very certain that it isn't the spiteful yahweh god of the old testament.

    And therein lies the biggest problem, IMO: since when does Christianity have a monopoly on the truth? Why is there a default to believe in "a god" rather than many?

    You're a dumbass. No wonder you need help.

  16. Re:Everybody is an engineer? on Career Advice: Don't Call Yourself a Programmer · · Score: 1

    Some Macromedia moron with a "Sales Engineer" demo'd Dreamweaver 4 to a group of us way back when. He's as much an 'engineer' as I am a CEO.

  17. Re:Imagery not good enough... on Hackers Briefly Controlled US Government Satellites · · Score: 2
