  4. Good. on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm glad to see this finally happen.

    Orwellian dystopia? I spend a few months over there earlier this year and must have missed that bit...

    Dumping? What do you think the marginal cost of a copy of Word is? If its $5, I'd be shocked.

    Really? Over 1 million people in the US die of AIDS every year? Really?

    You mean Will Rodgers, right correction boy?

    ...40 years ago when Pat Paulson did it the first time.

  10. If by steep learning curve... on Office 2007 — Better But a Tough Switch · · Score: 1

    ..he means it takes someone smarter than a carrot about 20 minutes to figure out, then yeah, it has a steep learning curve.

  11. Re:Security Threat on TSA Now Investigating Boarding Pass Hacker · · Score: 1

    know for a fact that I could bring a knife on board a plane even today, even passing through all the security. They can't stop me if they can't see it. And there are such knives available.

    I'd like to hear more about your invisible knives.

  12. Re:Short answer: No. on Is the Google Web Toolkit Right For You? · · Score: 1

    Sounds perfect for intranet and extranet sites where you get to dictate the browser users may access the site with.

  13. He's not a very good businessman... on The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart · · Score: 1

    ...so you keep your precious Snapper brand name for your quality products and start up some new brand name for your low end crap you sell at Wal-Mart. Win - win.

  14. Unspecified reasons? on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unspecified Reasons? Like not wanting to get sued for bundling again? So the EU doesn't make them release a "Vista Version V without Antivirus Protection" that nobody really wants to buy anyway?

  15. Re:Acid2 test looks fine in IE7 on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 1

    Yes, you are trying to get accurate information from /.

  18. Why wouldn't you anyway on Following the Chips in Wynn's New Casino · · Score: 1

    but I think I'll be cashing out my chips before I leave the casino.

    Why wouldn't you be doing this anyway? You can't play one casino's chips at another casino.

  19. Re:Book to movie? on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Screening Reviews · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Contact and Hunt For Red October, are both better movies than books. Probably because the books were not written by particularly talented writers.

  20. Re:Tax Implications? on Employee Stock Options Must be Treated as Expenses · · Score: 4, Informative

    IAAA (I am an accountant), and essentially you keep two sets of books, one for accounting purposes and one for tax purposes. Tax accounting is based on cash flows in and out of the company. Since this rule change doesn't effect these cash flows, there shouldn't be any tax implications to this change.

  21. idiot on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    Apropos of nothing, I saw a movie in the theaters a few days ago. At the official start time, the lights dimmed. Then there were 14 minutes of commercials (Pepsi, hair mousse, cologne, etc.) followed by 13 minutes of movie trailers (which are also advertising), followed by a few minutes of junk, followed by a 100-minute movie. I can't imagine why people would want to download movies when they have that great theater experience to compare against.

    Great.. that gives you the right to steal movies online? Boo fuckin' hoo.

  22. Re:not much... on How Much Harm Can One Web Site Do? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Current common wisdom if you are an idiot I guess.

    Real artists don't go into a museum, take their painting off the wall and change it whenever they have a whim

    There are at least 3 other versions of the Mona Lisa that Leonardo painted beneath the current version.

    Was he a real artist?

  24. Why? on Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are Linux Today's readers too stupid to think for themselves?

  25. Re:Wow. Out of touch.. on The GNOME Roadmap · · Score: 1

    You are right. I think we should take this to the logical extreme and each distribution should include their own incompatable version of C, so that we get the luxury of having even more choices! After all, this would give us even more diversity, right?
