    and yet they have not moved to Firefox...

  2. No OS? on Which OS Performs Best With SSDs? · · Score: 1
    However, no OS has as yet been optimized to work with SSDs

    Really? Puppy Linux...

    They could easily set up a transparent proxy and mirror all of the RPM repositories if they really wanted...

  5. Re:I'm amazed on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 1

    She was pure greed. The thing about helping those in need is just a pitiful lie (even if she herself believes it) Why did she not mortgage her house before to help those in need?

  6. Re:Like to see this replicated on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 1

    Put some money into it. How much would you be willing to pay to a bone marrow donor to heal you of your HIV? No, the fact that it's illegal is completely irrelevant.

  7. Re:It's inevitable on Scientists Turn Tequila Into Diamonds · · Score: 1
    And the only thing worse than cheap Mexican tequila is cheap Mexican vodka.

    Well, there's cheap Mexican public universities.

  8. Re:African Americans are overwhelmingly homophobic on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    Does it ever occur to you all that "Homophobic" means fear of the same?

  9. Re:Define "Winning" on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1
    Then the Saudis should lobby their government to ask the americans to leave rather than building a new air base for them. Oh, that's right the Saudis would first have to change their govt to be able to petition said govt., yes flying planes into buildings is soo much easier, and far less time consuming.

    This is really funny. Have you any idea what the Saudi Government is like? Yes, for them the least effort route was to use the planes. Any other route would get more of their supporters tortured, their families murdered, etc.

  10. Re:Move to Arizona on Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    You mean I can change my schedule without messing with everyone's clocks? I'm trying that.

    That's when I clean and shit,

    I, too, shit on the morning. But i prefer shitting on DST while in Slashdot.

  12. Re:Move to Arizona on Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    Yes, exactly like prohibition. Just change the system slightly to tax alcohol to the sky instead of banning it, and add tens of other substances to the prohibition. See how the problem of gangs is gone now?

  13. Alternatives on Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    what do you think would be the best possible system to replace DST with?

    Say, like simply freedom and the stimuli of letting electrical rates change and be variable so utilities try to flatten their demand?

    Hello Sir.. may I see you laser eyes license , please?

  15. Re:So exactly what is the implant for? on Wealthy Mexicans Getting Chipped in Case of Abduction · · Score: 1

    If they get thrown in jail, then can dig the implants out of their arms, and use them to make a primitive laser to cut open the lock.

    Of course, it takes 2 implants, and a piece of an old bedframe....

    And also this full season McGyver DVD set.

  16. Standardization vs. invention on Was Standardizing On JavaScript a Mistake? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Had the work continued, McAllister argues, it could have ushered in an era of large-scale application development that would ensure the browser's ability to meet our evolving needs in the years ahead.

    This is simply a misconception. The idea that creativity can come out of a standards body is flawed. Individual coders and companies come up with the tools, the implementation and the interaction, and standard bodies later take notice... they cannot usher in their way out of a paper bag....

  17. Re:Copyright Law on Watchmen Delayed, Or Worse · · Score: 1

    But copyright law needs to exist in some way.

    No, it does not. See http://www.mises.org/journals/jls/15_2/15_2_1.pdf

    The subscribe links point to the real CNN sites and they actually gave me no error when I tried to unsubscribe. They kept coming though.

  21. Re:Body Systems on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    That's why I didn't post the marketing blurb in the first place, but instead wrote about my own experience. All advertising is full of buzzwords.

    Personally, I don't like Body Balance much. I don't feel like I've exercised if I don't come out all sweaty afterwards.

  22. Body Systems on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    I had not worked out for years, and I guess I just needed some fun in doing it. I got into one of the Les Mills programs. Inexpensive and fun. I'm now into Body Combat and Body Attack.

    Microsoft has always charged less in developing nations where the product is priced way above what people can afford and would be copied illegally anyway.

    There, fixed it for you.
