  1. Re:Elections on Should The FCC Be Abolished? · · Score: 1

    You must be mad. Did you see what happened last time we had an election here?

    (Just a joke, folks.)

  2. Re:Merger??? Yeah, right! on What Might Have Been: Microsoft Almost Bought SAP · · Score: 1

    You've done an excellent job of homing in on the point, not getting it, and turning it unfunny. Gold star for you.

  3. Re:No. on Digital Photography Composition 101 · · Score: 1

    How is the composition of a digital photograph different from the composition of a film photograph? Or a watercolor, for that matter?

    A guy who stuffs his stereo in a closet so he doesn't have to look at it probably doesn't have a preamp. : )

    Cool. Glad to hear it.

  8. Re:Digital Photography Composition? on Digital Photography Composition 101 · · Score: 1

    Hmm.

    The /. headline says "Digital Photography Composition 101". And the site calls it "Digital Photography Composition Tips". And you thought it was going to be The Be All End All Guide to Photography, why exactly?

    But, with the fluorescents, I pay for the decreased electric bill with headaches from the 60hz flicker, and the piss poor lighting color that comes out of fluorescents.

    In other words, there are factors other than power consumption. The builder of the machine decided to use parts that suited his/her needs and desires. Why the hell do you care?

  10. Re:Nifty for the price - but not a Squeezebox on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 1

    Changes in volume come by adjusting the gain on the amplifier, which is the heavy part of your stereo. You will not be able to get any sort of decent sound just by changing the line-level signal.

  11. Re:typical apple apologist on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 1

    And, of course, anybody who thinks Apple products are pretty well designed and work for their purposes are crazy, obsessed, "apologists".

    Apple products aren't perfect. They are normally very well engineered, though. I appreciate that.

    Uh, use the remote on your stereo.

    I can get a device that connects my stereo to an 802.11 network for $25? Where? I'll buy ten.

    Come on. The truth never works on trolls. They just get confused and go back in their caves.

    Yeah, that whole NextSTEP thing was just a fluke. Nobody who works at Apple had anything to do with that.

    You're right. If you assfucked yourself with Microsoft's software by using a useless misfeature, Apple's software can not help you. I'm glad I'm smart enough to not do that.

  17. Re:Damn, what a bad summary. on Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor · · Score: 1

    Objectivity comes from me reading stories and drawing conclusions. Objectivity does not come from reading The Authoritative News Source That Tells Me All I Need To Know. Because that publication, like Santa Claus, does not exist.

    The PATRIOT Act is a bad law. Any stories about its application are interesting and useful to me. If that's "Bush bashing", again, I would like to see more of it. Me, I don't think that stories about the consequences of one's actions constitute "bashing".

  18. Re:Damn, what a bad summary. on Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor · · Score: 1

    Is the Bush administration somehow special? Should news and discussion outlets give them some sort of benefit of the doubt? "Oh, this looks like a troublesome issue, but I'm sure the Bush administration will handle it fairly and responsibly."

    Freedom of the press is important. Prior restraint is bad. I don't know what "bashing" is, but I'd like all news outlets to do it to all political wonks all the time. It's, like, their job.

    No, they require people who don't have huge piles of money and trained attack lawyers to document what they're doing.

  21. Re:What's their motivation? on Theaters vs. Camcorders, Round 27 · · Score: 1

    Kramer was, on occasion, amusing. However, George made me want to kill everybody related to him. Just to clean out the gene pool. Even though he's just played by an actor.

    Any time George opened his mouth, or, like, breathed? I wanted him to spontaneously combust after being doused in Clorox. That would have been SWEET.

    Did you see the episode of Seinfeld that didn't suck so bad I wanted to set everybody involved with the show on fire?

    Call me crazy, but wasn't Guilty Gear one of the hot selling PS2 titles recently?

    It's not my cup of tea, but it was a critical and popular success. What more do you want?

    And the games that aren't available to me because of region and language barriers are relevant to me, why?

    If GC is making a profit for Nintendo (and I think it is), then it's a success. Anything else (There are more PS2's in my neighborhood than GameCubes! Nuh uh! Uh huh!) is pointless penis-measuring.

    RAID 0 seems like a spectacular way to halve the MTBF of your storage system.
