    It stinks.... What a mess

  2. Re:OBAMA is infinitely better on energy than McCai on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 0

    US citizens prefer dog-dung to cow-dung 3 to 1 with a statistically insignificant 1% that prefer no dung at all.

  3. It makes no difference on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 0

    We are doomed.

    This republicans are socialists and the democrats are communists.

    However; to think that we will ignore the constitution and allow Obama to get this far into the process without having produced his birth certificate and not just a statement of live birth is all the while ignoring the fact that he was actually born in another country to a father that was a citizen of that other country and then brought back to the US is unspeakable. His mother was a nut... "Indonesia and muslim as well - WTF" and nuts don't fall far from trees.

    I'm going to vomit now.

    We are doomed

  6. Survival etc. on Cancer Survival for Software Developers · · Score: 0

    When I read some of these responses, I understand the "me first" sentiment I hear but for those programmers and others that might express such thoughts please consider this.... Is your job just a job? Is the time you spend working only a waste of what would be better spent on leisure? Are you not obsessed with what you do every day in your chosen field? If you are not happy doing with what you do then go ahead and put "me first" and find something to make you happy because you otherwise are wasting your life. I've been doing this technology thing for 25 years and the reason I'm still in it is rooted in my incurable obsession with this silliness. Think....! Life is short, then you die. Be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.

    You tell the truth friend. We need to wake up before it's too late. The Islamofascists are the new Nazis.... Are we the new Neville Chamberlains?

    Fill large pot with water.
    Place live penguin inside.
    Cover with heavy lid.

  9. Re:How to abuse your dog on Tracking Domestic Animals? · · Score: 0

    If the best plan you can imagine for a dog is chain him to a tree, I can only hope that _you_ have been neutered. Would hate to see more of the ignorant bred.

    No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

  11. Ultr@VNC is my pick on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 0
    TightVNC is tight, RealVNC is nice but Ultr@VNC gives you features over and above the rest.

    Plugin Support

    File Transfer

    Integrated Winbloze Logins

    Remote Screen Blanking

    Better Vid Support

    and more

    I'm using this as the goto for remote support with ssh port forwarding as a conduit.

  12. These library books are overdue..... on FCC Internet Grant Decision Riles Congress · · Score: 0

    The descriptions and extent of fraud, waste and corruption involved in the implementation of the E-Rate program would fill so many volumes that would take a fair sized library to hold the output.

    Schools spent millions upon millions of dollars on Technology they couldn't use. In many cases they did wholesale annual replacement of perfectly functional equipment.

    This accounting is a long time coming and it will be a long time gone.

  13. When Wardriving is Outlawed, on Wardriving Worries Residents · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Only Outlaws will have.....

    I would consider it neglect to avoid wardriving customer sites. If you don't know what it looks like from the outside you risk leaving people wide open.

    Jeez

  14. You have to be careful on The OS Community Embraces IBM · · Score: 1

    Partnering with folks bigger than you is like going to the motel room with Mike Tyson.

    When everybody gets naked and jumps in a pile, the deal will get done and you can be sure you will not be on the top.

    Of course this may be a kinder gentler IBM(ike) than the one from the past, so we probably have absolutely nothing to fear. What me worry?

  15. It would be better spent on law school on Bill Gates Gives $20M to CMU for New Building · · Score: 2, Informative

    Money donated to computer science will be better spent in endowing fellowships in patent law.

    Microsoft continues to make the world a better place for lawyers and is likely eventually to hold on retainer 51% of attorneys worldwide.

  16. OdoBan on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Use it on the case surfaces. Not safe for electonics. If you can't find it at normal places, try PetSmart.

    I have a licensed animal shelter at my house, so I know more about strange smells than you can imagine.

    Maybe those (Americans) that did experience a significant taste of a third world country might be more inclined to appreciate what we (Americans) have .

    Outages due to bad weather have been a rare and very brief problem for me. YMMV
