  1. Re:Anyone get the feeling... on Patriot Act to be Expanded · · Score: 1

    I'd rather be a squeaky wheel and dissapear than hide in a corner and dissapear anyhow.

  2. Re:Public Right to how it works on Closed Source -> Charges Dismissed? · · Score: 1

    ... but then he might have to live near ... POOR people!

  3. Re:Yes, the platform is still the platform. on Does New Development For Mac OS X Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    Actually, they also use a different BIOS. Huge difference. You're basically trying to tell us that because English shares some words with French, they're almost identical as it is.

  4. Wow. on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1

    So they can build an electric motor with a lot of torque. What else is new?

  5. Re:Adverse Affect For Me on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    I run a few large unix boxes, multiuser, shell access. I laugh when I see morons upload x86 linux rootkits on my decidedly non-x86 non-linux box.

  6. Re:check your accounts on Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached · · Score: 1

    While you're at it, perhaps you should say 'hello tort reform'! The rethugs are working on closing that little loophole that holds corporations accountable to their customers.

  7. Re:Sex Offender's Registry on Google Map Hack & Chicago Crime Data · · Score: 1

    You're comparing unlike things. Traffic accidents are not crimes. A crime may be committed that causes a traffic accident, but the 'accident' itself is not a crime. Your entire argument falls apart because of this fallacy.

    Thank you, please come again.

  8. Re:Not to worry... on The Problem with DHS's Plan to 'Buy American' · · Score: 1

    You're modded funny, but this sounds a hell of a lot like what the FRA (Federal Railroad Administratio) does to locomotives and coaches that run on US tracks...

  9. Re:knowledge is power on Dutch Academics Declare Research Free-For-All · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because the publishing companies like to rip you off. Why do CDs cost $20? Why does a ticket to a movie cost $13? Why does your mom charge $5?

  10. Re:Poor article on The Horror Of British Telecom · · Score: 1

    Free? It's only free to you. Your poor friend who's calling your 'mobile' (god, when limeys say MOW-BYE-EL, it makes me want to smack them in their filthy, crooked teeth) has to pay 3x the normal cost of a phone call, just because he's calling a 'mobile'. Yeah, real free.

  11. Re:$40USD/month for 5 Mbit? Lucky bastard! on The Horror Of British Telecom · · Score: 1

    I pay $29.95 (promo price, regular price $39.95) for 10Mbit downstream/1Mbit upstream, in the United States.

    Sounds like broadband to me. How is this an oxymoron again?

  12. Re:What's taking so long? on The Horror Of British Telecom · · Score: 1

    What if you share your internet access with a roommate? Or two? Or three? All of a sudden, that cap looks a whole lot lower.

  13. Re:probably a good idea.... on LinuxWorld Editorial Machinations · · Score: 1

    You're free to act like a jackass, and to ignore the things that make society work -- mainly, being civil to each other. Just becasome someone acts like a moron shouldn't then give you a reason to act moronic right back.

    Of course, if you're childish, and like to create unneccesary battles, or maybe you get some sort of enjoyment out of causing strife, then by all means, go act like an asshole. The rest of us will ignore you for the retard that you are, and will continue to play our nice game by ourselves.

  14. Huh? on Printing (Big) Manuals? · · Score: 1

    Why do you need all 800 pages? Why not just print out the sections you use most frequently, and reference the others via the pdf when you need them?

    Or, take the PDF to Kinkos and say PRINT.

    Wow, that was hard.

  15. Re:i-box on Live Picture of the Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    Oh please, the whiteness is Apple's (racist) trademark. Curvy, lame, gooey, white pieces of plastic.

  16. Re:Tampering? on UK to lnstall Wireless Mics on London Streets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If one side of his building faces a residential area, and the other side is a commercial area, then I guess he's just done some noise pollution managment, and the neighbors will love him.

  17. Re:Sarbanes Oxley on Automation in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, running a tight, accountable shop sucks.

    That being said, SOX is typically not the problem -- it's an inflexible staff and/or crappy auditor which is usually the problem.

  18. Hmm... on Quick, Standard Measurement for CPU Power? · · Score: 1

    Watts?

  19. What the...? on Post-It Notes - 25 Years of Hypertext in Paper · · Score: 1

    They're notes. How exactly are they hypertext? They are annotations, like tooltips.

  20. Re:When the kinks get worked out? on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Why not just install OO.o to the usb key? I've done that for Linux, and I'm fairly sure you can do that with Windows too.

    Then it doesn't matter whether you can install stuff or not, just whether you can mount a cd/usb key/whatever.

  21. Re:When the kinks get worked out? on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    You can save OO.o presentations as a pdf, and view like that as well. No fancy animations or sound effects, though.

    No 'self executing' capability since OO.o is, by definition, cross platform, and therefore difficult to create an executable that would be executable by all supported platforms.

    Since OO.o is free, it's trivial to keep the presentation part of OO.o on a cd or USB key, and toss that in the computer when you need to give your presentation.

    Oh yeah... well I had sex with your wife!

  23. Re:Pretty sad. on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 1

    I hope for your sake, you read the entirety of people's sentences before you attack them.

    They don't? Then how do they get out of the gun? Do you just ask your bullets nicely to run real fast out of the gun, or something?

    If you have no clue where the republican stand on "no big government" went, you're a wingnut-chomping moron.
