  1. They have no right to be upset. on Top Advisory Panel Warns Erosion of U.S. Science · · Score: 1

    It's not like someone came up to them out of the blue, called them a moron, dropped some brand-new un-heard-of knowledge and expected them to accept it instantly.

    The concepts which are being rebelled against by the religious peoples are entrenched in our culture and collective history.

      What we are seeing is a sliding back of acceptance of scientifically proven concepts. Our industry and society is built on those concepts. It's natural for someone to be annoyed when people continually make statements contrary to what is already known and accepted. Especially when they enjoy the fruits of that knowledge in day-to-day life.

    Besides, Historically, Scientists have been disparaged by religious people for FAR longer than scientists have disparaged religious people.

    You owe us some :)

  2. Not very Intelligently Designed... on PBS Features Einstein's Famous Equation · · Score: 1

    Cheezy website and questionable gobbledy-gook. WOuld not be surpirsed to find some wack-job fundamentalist religious half-wit behind this 'production'.

    'Cause it sure doesn't seem to be toungue-in-cheek...

  3. Might makes right, ends justify means. on EU, UN to Wrestle Internet Control From US · · Score: 1

    Call me when you graduate highschool and better your reasoning capabilities.

    Or if you have graduated, get your ass into a recruitment center.

  4. Which is why I block all the ads I can... on The Fracturing of the Internet · · Score: 1

    They want to play me? I can play them too. Meh.

  5. The right thing isn't always painful! on Do-Not-Call List, Two Years Later · · Score: 1

    There are many ways to accomplish a goal. So what if this person chooses to debase the telemarketers instead of just say "please don't call me?" What's wrong with that? Because most people are 'polite'? Well most people don't like getting unsollicited calls.

    Personally, I'm not a slave to my phone. When I don't want to be bothered, the phone is OFF.

  6. Oh it does sit on the CPU... on Ask The Civ IV Dev Team · · Score: 1

    my Dual Athlon MP 2800 System...when running Civ3...shows at least 50% of the CPU consumed at all times by the Civilization process. Even when it's just waiting for a click in a dialog box. I assume that the CPU is being used to plan future moves for the AI...

  7. Will you make combat outcomes more transparent? on Ask The Civ IV Dev Team · · Score: 1

    The docs don't always explain how the bonuses/penalties due to terrain/status/location etc.. affect the possible outcome.

  8. Huh..we recycle them properly in the USA. on IBM Thinkpads now in Titanium · · Score: 0, Troll

    Guess your local employees in the UK are a bit stupid or lazy. Well, that was one of the reasons for the mass lay-offs in Europe. Just not enough work for the euro I hear.

  9. It's how I feel about my country! on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 1

    I love what the US could be, but hate what the majority of people want to make of it.

  10. Then I'll just pirate the eBooks! on When Will E-Books Become Mainstream? · · Score: 1

    Because I LIKE the paperback format. Cheap, easy to carry, no big deal if lost.

    If your vision occurs, the authors will get even less of my money...unless I like a pirated eBook so much I buy the hardcover.

  11. I only own a Game Cube. on Plotting the Revolution's Arc · · Score: 1

    Play a few games on it. Had a Dreamcast before that. Maybe I'm just bad at picking 'em, but I love the Mario Kart and Smash Brothers!

  12. Wait...are you serious? on Apple Fails Due Diligence in Trade Secret Case · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me that Microsoft Office was DOS based (No GUI as you claim) until Apple contracted for a Mac version of Office? I find this hard to believe. Office was first available for the Mac in 1990. This was the same year Windos v3.0 was released...and there were prior versions of Windows.

    I find your claim hard to believe.

  13. Aftermath of what? on Wi-Max Deployed in Katrina Disaster Area · · Score: 1

    Oh are you implying the hurricane? Hmmm...well you know what? Yeah. It is. People die ALL THE FUCKING TIME. You're just all worked up because it happened to YOUR COUNTRY and you see all the heart-breaking stories on the news. Guess what douchebag, check out the Sudan some time, or many other African nations. Provincial over-emotional twit.

    And yeah. Lots of groups give money to help the needy. MS's contribs are a drop in the bucket. Their money would be better spent making windows more secure so that such vast ammounts of time and effort are not wasted.

  14. I'd rather they spent that money on code review. on Wi-Max Deployed in Katrina Disaster Area · · Score: 1

    Quite frankly, many orgs can help people...but only Microsoft can make Windows better.

  15. Someone has to buy those Harleys... on Wi-Max Deployed in Katrina Disaster Area · · Score: 1

    Form over function and what-not.

  16. Easy now... on Researchers Say Human Brain is Still Evolving · · Score: 1

    I make enough money that I won't be getting any social security by the time I retire. Good thing I'm investing on my own, huh?

    I never said anything about it 'covering' the cost of raising a child. Government assistance for the poor doesn't completely replace a decent job either.

  17. No Welfare?! Check out 'dependents' on Researchers Say Human Brain is Still Evolving · · Score: 1

    The US tax code reqrds those who breed by giving them tax credits. It's welfare in the tax code.

  18. No...they would sell the client Lotus Domino... on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    I mean...what else?

  19. If your child sees boobs, they will become a slut. on Pornified · · Score: 1

    This is the logic. Well...the logic given once you filter out the Bible-based reasoning. I.e. the Bible says to cover yourself, therefore it is bad to expose your body.

    All this shit is done in the name of the 'child'.

    I almost don't want to have children at this point...what a fucked up society.

  20. Mail them a check or money order? on PayPal to Offer Micropayments · · Score: 1

    I mean, being a lazy POS is no reason to support a fucked up business model in my mind.

  21. here! on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 1
  22. Let me guess.... on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 0

    Not doing well? Job get out-sourced? Angry that you aren't quite poor enough to go on welfare? Resentful towards those who are? Guess you should have tried harder in school, eh?

  23. And unfortunately off-set by war costs... on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 1

    ...in the 100's of Billions of Dollars. And what do we get for our dead sons and enormous debt? A theocracy in the Middle East that MIGHT sell us oil at a better price.

    No, what WILL be a boon to the economy is the rebuilding efforts after Katrina.

    But Bush lovers will claim it was the President who did that.

  24. Pussy. on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 1

    Face it, you are a minority here. As a conservative you must BOW to the majority in ANY situation.

    Your words appear on my screen, but they say nothing to me.

  25. Re:On the moon on Evidence of 6 Dimensions or More? · · Score: 1

    Don't question it!
