  1. Is their skin yellow? on Prothon - A New Prototype-based Language · · Score: 2, Funny

    Personally, I am a nice apricot color, but in the summer I am a more walnut with rose overtones.

  2. Re:Gold on Fifty Years of Color Television · · Score: 1

    Too bad there isn't a good price on tin-foil for your hat. Yes, poor countries are soooo rich by-the-way. Ever been to one? I suggest Equitorial Guinea....

  3. And management doesn't get it.... on The Unhappy World of IT Professionals · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was offered a 6 figure job (well, 100000USD and that ain't shit in Boston) to do Location Based Services at a Boston area firm the other day. I turned it down because I want out of IT so bad I can taste it. Their PHB was flabbergasted. When I went down the laundry list of why IT sucks (1. users. 2. users. 3. clients 4. Management, and so forth and so on), his employees who were standing there started nodding in agreement. He was truly dumbfounded that these guys he was paying OK money too were sick of working at his reasonably successful company. One guy hadn't gone on holiday in 4 years. Another had a peptic ulcer (he was the sales engineering lead). And their coding lead ( a woman ) was at the ass-end of a messy divorce. Needless to say, they were all envious of my position as a poor grad student who just wants to teach undergrad classes and do a little research before opening a coffee shop when I retire. Fuck IT.

  4. Thank You, Middle America on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    The 'Taxi Driver' NYC of your imagination is long gone what with Herr Giuliani and Gauleiter Dinkins cleaning Manhattan up. I just got back from NY and was not once panhandled or approached by a hooker or crackhead selling shit. Sure, it was cold, but that never stopped them in the past.

  5. Re:Why India? on Need a Job? Move to India · · Score: 1

    How about moving to some country in Europe?

    Good luck getting a work permit. And where do you get this "shortage of skilled IT workers" horseshit? Contrary to what USAians think, IT is not rocket-science. It is a tech job. Education for IT jobs is way more available than you think in the EU and promoted as an alternative to the overburdened University systems.

  6. You have got to be kidding. on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1

    I recently purchased an IBM Thinkpad 600e from ebay for real cheap.

    You lost me with this statement. You can't get a cheap laptop on EBay. Do trolls even try anymore?

  7. Whew.... on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1

    And just as I started to lose faith in trolls....

  8. Every read deal with Tom Christiansen? on Can Software Kill? · · Score: 1

    That's enough to make one want to kill.

  9. I'd like to act out.... on Move Over Karaoke...Hello Movieoke · · Score: 1

    Harvey Keitel's scene in the "Bad Lieutenant" where he pulls the two Jersey girls over and "interrogates" them.

  10. A great breakthrough... on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If only to send a STFU to Fundos who deny evolution, etc. Of course, they think this is all being transmitted from a sound stage in Burbank.

  11. What is this $20 bill you speak of... on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    And how to I obtain one?

  12. Since this means M$ is channeling the Matrix on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does this mean that Ballmer is in line for gender reassignment? What does Bill say? Will they be able to work so closely after Ballmer goes under the knife? Will he be moving to Colorado?

  13. Just one thing, please.... on A First Look At The GIMP 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Rotate images arbitrary values....

  14. Focus! Focus! on Last Great Internet Bubble Auction · · Score: 5, Funny

    All of that high-end equipment and no one knows how to focus a camera? Even a digital Camera?

  15. Re:Begs the Question... on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    Eh, it is available all over the South. The rest of you fuckers can just suffer with Yuengling, Saranac and such. ;-)

  16. Actually, Piggly-Wiggly pioneered Supermarkets on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    America's first true self-service grocery store, was founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1916 by Clarence Saunders. In grocery stores of that time, shoppers presented their orders to clerks who gathered the goods from the store shelves. Saunders, a flamboyant and innovative man, noticed this method resulted in wasted time and man hours, so he came up with an unheard-of solution that would revolutionize the entire grocery industry: he developed a way for shoppers to serve themselves

    So WALMART is their fault!

  17. Wrong. on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    As I said above: Guinness is partially owned by A-B and has had a long-term marketing partnership with Bud. Example: the Irish Derby is sponsored by Bud.

  18. Guinness on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    Guess what? Guinness is partially owned by A-B and has had a long standing marketing partnership with Bud.

  19. Begs the Question... on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 4, Informative

    Why would you drink Bud anyway? What a shitty beer. For all you non-USAians, contrary to popular belief, there are excellent beers in the States. Only Sheeple drink A-B and SAB (Miller) products. Disclamer: my father was a 25-year employee at Miller as a plant manager, and I grew up drinking Miller products. They are awful. I don't care if it paid the wages and for college. Man, is Miller Lite an abomination....

    Something tells me that if people were to actually expand their horizons on the beer front, they would discover the Sierra Nevadas, Shiners and such that have nationwide markets and comprable pricing to Bud ($9 a 12-er compared to $11 a 12-er for Shiner). Guess what? These are small companies (relative to A-B) who are not going to fool with BudNETing your habit.

  20. Call him "Michael" on The World's Safest Operating System · · Score: 1, Troll

    I was surprised to see CowboyNeal as the poster.If it were Taco or Timothy, I would assume that this is a dupe. This is more Michael's style. Post a troll article. Comment in the discussion. Mod dissent down. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

  21. Well, he could be using them for this.... on Hamster-controlled MIDI · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Rising to the bait. on Search and Seizure at the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    It is all part of a strategy. No, self-respecting Top would want to make a bitch out of a drunk, bleeding, 275lb, sweaty UnixBeard.

  23. Rising to the bait. on Search and Seizure at the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    btw, if you've got a good way to rebut this that doesn't include fuck or asshole, I'm all ears biatches...:)

    Listen here, you jerkoff, if dumb sunsabitches like you are willing to get your ass kicked by a bunch of steroid freak sheriff's deputies, go right ahead. As for me, I'll just run like a raped ape.

  24. Re:No, Python on Perl's Extreme Makeover · · Score: 3, Funny

    If that sucker can output it's own code and send and e-mail too then, AND ONLY THEN, is it a true perl program.

  25. Channelling Tom Christiansen on Perl's Extreme Makeover · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You are a fucking jerk. No. Even a fucking jerk knows that $_ is the current file being read. I bet you do things like this:

    print "Foo\n";

    The best part of you ran down your mother's leg. Let me add you to my killfile, you nonce.
