  1. Re:Linus isn't really one to talk. on Linus on All Sorts of Stuff · · Score: 3, Interesting
    You make a mostly good point. I bet your hardware runs a lot better/faster on Windows than Linux. Once the hardware manufacturer's start having Linux guys in-house contributing the kernel, then that will be a lot better.

    This whole comment sounded a lot better in my head.

    Wait. So they voted for it, before they were against it? I'm glad Russ Feingold is my senator, the only smart guy in the Senate that day...

    I suppose we should be happy that they're actually going to prepare for the next war.

    Not quite. I think Yoko still owns a few of them. I remember reading about a dispute over how the song writing credits for "Hey Jude" or "Yesterday" would go. Whether it should be listed as (Lennon/McCarthy) or (McCarthy/Lennon). Yoko had something to do with this. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

    Three minutes and the server has already been blow to bits by the Death Star-like fanboys (and fangirls) of Slashdot.

    Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

  20. Re:For the past four years... on OpenOffice.org Is 4 Today · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I don't know where you work, but here almost ALL documents, spreadsheets and presentations are collabortive efforts. I tried using OO as my primary Office suite, but after the 20th complaint I went back to Office 2003.


    I still use OO at home though.

    What about the US? How about we stop building weapons and educate our children? I mean, come on! Who are we going to use our nucular tipped bunker buster bombs against? A couple of tired 'terrorists' hunkering in a cave on the Pakistan border? Seems like using a shotgun to kill flies to me.

    I think a few well trained special ops teams could do the work of many of our over-powered weapons.

    You know, or not.

  25. Re:Nothing to see here on Battle of the Bush Bulge · · Score: 2, Interesting
    may I be the first to make the obvious suggestion: bullet-proof vest?

    No, you may not. Someone called into to C-SPAN the other day to suggest the exact same thing, and it was quickly ruled out because (a) John Kerry, who is also under secret service protection, would have had one on as well and (b) security for the debates was super tight.
