    The only way to review this thing properly is to give it to someone in the Walmart crowd who doesn't use a PC very much now, and see how they do with it. Unfortunately, I don't know of a magazine that does that sort of review.
    Well, there is WPTMBWLLM magazine. They would do that sort of review. I think they went out of business though.

    No, really. This is why there is ZERO point listening to what these people say about anything. When they talk, I just think:

    Get out of here! Go on! I don't believe it. You don't say! Really?! Get out of here! Go on. I don't believe it. You don't say? Get out of here! I told you that bitch crazy!!!

  7. Re:Well, hang on. on Failing Our Geniuses · · Score: 1

    I agree 100% with your sentiments. I have both a gifted child and a developmentally delayed child in the public schools. The gifted kids do need the school system to give them resources and ample opportunities to explore their gifts, they mostly just need them to get out of the way.

    Whereas, my delayed son really needs a 1:1 aide. But he won't get one. People shouldn't mistake "dollars allocated for special needs children" for "dollars spent on special needs children."

  8. Riiiiight... on Permit May Be Required For Public Photography in NYC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "While the permitting scheme does not distinguish between commercial and other types of filming, we anticipate that these rules will have minimal, if any, impact on tourists and recreational photographers, including those that use tripods," Ms. Cho said...
    She continued, "...unless, of course, they are dark skinned."

    But Mark W. Muschenheim, a lawyer with the city's law department, which helped draft the rules, said, "There are few instances, if any, where the casual tourist would be affected."
    He went on to say that mostly those speaking some form of Arabic would fall prey to selective enforcement. Upper and middle class white Americans needn't worry.

    The draft rules say the office could take up to 30 days to issue a permit, but Ms. Cho said she expected that most would be issued within 24 hours.
    Because the government is a bastion of efficiency.

  11. Thus proving the rule on Microsoft's Acoustic Caller ID Patent · · Score: 4, Funny

    To patent anything, follow these steps:

    1. Choose something already being done in the real world, anything really
    2. describe it with maximum verbosity
    3. add "on the Internet" at the end

    Tada! PATENT!

  12. ...a cop out on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's exactly what the series ended with. You can read into it all the "meaning" you like. The fact is, the writers, directors, producers, et. al., left it wide open. "How do we end it?" they all said to themselves. Then, HBO executives, said: "Just don't. Don't end it at all. Don't have Tony dead. Don't have him in jail. Don't have him run to his new FBI friend and make a deal. Don't resolve anything. Don't do anything that will lock us into or out of possible future revenue. Just cut to black." And the rest of them, in unison, standing their in muffled awe, breathed "Genius."

  18. What the hell...my two cents on Beating WoW At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    I could make a zillion points...but I'll only make one:

    What I'd really like to see is two MMORPG companies get together, preferably from different genres (think SWG and WoW) and create a cross-game PvE and/or PvP zone.

    How totally sweet would it be to force choke an elf mage or stab an Orc with a light saber?! WICKED SWEET, THAT'S HOW! Or what about putting together a war party of whatever characters WoW offers and having an onslaught against a clone army?!

    Now, MAKE IT SO!

  22. I can add to this on Police Objecting to Tickets From Red-Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    Not in the UK, though. But during my college years, I drove two different cars. One was a four cylinder Fiat sedan. It was tiny and looked like it couldn't go over the speed limit if it wanted to. Looks can be deceiving. I could frequently, while driving this innocuous looking car, speed right by police cars, highway patrolmen, etc. Let me reiterate that: I could SPEED past them without so much as a glance.

    My other car was a Chevy Camaro all decked out with after-market parts...your basic white trash muscle car. I could not so much as approach the speed limit or even do anything as simple as drive with a headlamp out when any cop was around. I was pulled over and NOT ticketed, just harassed, while driving that vehicle infinitely more times than in my POS 4-banger.

    Ironically, if anything, I drove MORE aggressively with the POS car than the camaro...but the muscle car got all the attention.

    An ass chewing? Isn't that special.

    If I were caught speeding, would the traffic sargeant give *me* an ass chewing or a ticket? I'd rather be yelled at for twenty minutes than have to pay a $100 fine. So would the cops. That's why they got an ass chewing and everybody got tickets.
