    I said just to do it, never said I'd like it.

    I also like to think that each genre has it's "top 40". So for me, right now it'd be whatever the disturbed-godsmack-foo-tool radio station is playing. Oh..and that used band..they fucking rock.

    Exactly how much courtroom time did you put in?

    And how much money do you feel you're entitled to? All you did was allow yourself to be ripped off at the music store. Somehow I fail to make the association between the term "victim" and your story.

  10. How much linux? on A College Without Microsoft? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How much "alternate-os"..ok..linux..do you plan on using? Getting rid of MS altogether, in any capacity, is stupid. I don't have specific facts but I'm willing to bet that windows shop outnumber linux shops 10 to 1. So while it's great that they have all this linux experience, I fear the jobs will go to those that have windows knowledge. Not saying it's right, just saying it's how it is. Linux shops in honest, real world productive companies still aren't that common. And I mean true linux, nothing MS on the entire site.

    I say prepare them for MS, it's the world uses, like it or not.

    Uh..maybe if I lived in Ogdenville, North Haverbrook or Brockway. We in civilized parts of the country have had broadband connections for quite some time. I pay $50 a month for 3mb/down, 256k up, 24/7 support, and if there's a bandwidth cap, I've never reached it. The uptime has also been REALLY good for the last year or so.

  15. Re:More to the point on E.U. Commission: More Antitrust Trouble For MS · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Attitude requires some sack to back it up. Here's on France is doing on the sack side of things.

    - Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000
    years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.

    - Hundred Years War - Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic
    who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's
    armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman."

    - Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever
    lose two wars when fighting Italians.

    - Wars of Religion - France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

    - Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant, but
    manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually
    the other participants started ignoring her.

    - War of Devolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as
    chapeaux.

    - The Dutch War - Tied

    - War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War -
    Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded
    Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French
    military power.

    - War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French
    their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved ever since.

    - American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar to
    future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists
    saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and
    leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when
    America does most of the fighting."

    - French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was
    also French.

    - The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First
    Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for
    a British footwear designer.

    - The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. Germany plays the role of drunk Frat
    boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

    - World War I - Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the
    United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not
    only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein."
    Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any
    improvement in the French bloodline.

    - World War II - Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States
    and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

    - War in Indochina - Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed
    with the Dien Bien Flu

    - Algerian Rebellion - Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western
    army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the
    First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This
    rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans,
    English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

    - War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history,
    surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender
    to Vietnamese ambassador, fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

    The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should
    not be "Can we count on the French?" but rather "How long until France
    collapses?"

    Not having France to help up in this war is like not having an accordien(sp) when you go deer hunting.
