    Sat. Dishes are great unless you ever need to upload anything or play any type of multiplayer online game.

  6. Re:standard? on Microsoft is Screwing Up Live on Vista · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend is actually about to buy one of those Dell laptops. I hate it, but you just can't beat Dell's combination of price, configurability & the fact you can still get XP on their machines.

    Lenovo was the only other manufacturer that I saw that was still putting XP on systems, but their "economy" offering was too expensive & you were forced to use a crappy Intel graphics chip.

    .... "attack" is strangley appropriate for this scenario.

  8. Re:umm on Student, Denied Degree For MySpace Photo, Sues · · Score: 1

    I've been using MySpace to get back into & keep in touch with friends from high school so you can pretty much go fuck yourself if you really think that someone is defined by the social networking service they use.

    Oh. Well I guess I *did* do too much acid in high school.

    Since you want to call people names, dumbass, the point is she was doing something completely legal & is getting punished for it using an arbitrary rule created on the spot to punish her. I know it's bizzaro-cool for us socially inept geeks to ridicule anything having to do with MySpace or "social networking" but they are trampling on this young lady's rights.

    I hope she takes them to the cleaners.

  11. Re:Good for him on Obama Requests Creative Commons for Presidential Debates · · Score: 1

    Pay attention. He had MySpace disable the guy's access to a page he created two years ago & the redirected the old page to the new "official" page. I don't care how much you try to apologize for their behavoir, it's still a pretty shitty thing they did.

    Too bad for them I found out about Mike Gravel the same day that happened.

    Obama reaped the benefit of that page for 2 years before he decided that he needed to control it.

    Well, it looks a lot like Flash to me. I guess in one way this keeps Linux from playing keep up with MS if it does take off.

    Care to tell me why we need something that's a copy of something else that already runs on linux, to run on linux.

  22. Re:I hate to say it.... on eBay's Ill-Timed Lifetime Achievement Webby · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've never even used eBay but this is obviously just someone trying to smear eBay for providing a forum in which to conduct legitimate business transactions, by tying an unfortunate incident which *they were not involved in* to their award. These are Jack Thompson's tactics & we should ignore it just like we do his lunatic ranting.

  23. Re:Justified? on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    I can do a lot more damage with a pen, pencil or scissors than I could a set of fingernail clippers. Zero tolerance rules suck & I don't care how you try to apologize for them.

    Some of it from the Daily Herald:

    "Blood, sex and booze. Drugs, drugs, drugs are fun. Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, s...t...a...b..., puke. So I had this dream last night where I went into a building, pulled out two P 90s and started shooting everyone, then had sex with the dead bodies. Well, not really, but it would be funny if I did."
