  1. Re:The Cato Institute on How Many Applications Depend On Windows? · · Score: 1
    I agree. The tobacco lawsuits are the biggest corporate scams in recorded history. Beware, very bad sentence form follows... Should "Big Tobacco" be punished? They "marketed tobacco to kids" with Joe Camel, and they "hid" the fact that tobacco was unhealthy. Let's forget the fact that I actually started smoking so I could be like all the other "cool" kids when I was 15, or that it was known for decades that smoking causes cancer.

    I am the victim of "big tobacco", so why am I being punished for it? It now costs twice as much as it did three years ago to engage a a legal habit that I enjoy.

    Don't flame me for being a smoker. Look at the facts objectively. You may not like tobacco, but I have every right to use it. If you can breathe, just STFU.

  2. I was at Barnes and Noble this weekend... on Learning GNU/Linux: The Survey Course Continues · · Score: 1
    looking for an O'Reilly book on squid -- why the hell isn't there one specifcally for it?

    Anyway, I knew Linux had entered pop culture when I saw the book entitled: Linux! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... . As if the title wasn't bad enough, have a look at the cover. I don't care what the cliche says -- I still want nothing to do with this book. It may have an animal on the front, but it ain't an O'Reilly...

  3. Story of The Kursk on Slashback: Delays, Torpedos, Revitalization · · Score: 3
    The story of The Kursk seems to grow every day. It started out as some sort of grim Edgar Allan Poe tale, and now they have added a Tom Clancy spin to it, eerily similar to The Hunt for Red October ...

    I'm with Team Ars Technica Lamb Chop, which is ahead of MacAddict, Slashdot, and Microsoft, not to mention a certain well known CPU company that goes by the symbol INTC. Wanna join my team? Work units of all races, creeds, and colors are welcome...
