    15%! Are they crazy?

  5. Re:Old News on The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Your project has a purpose and is tech related. That is why /. won't post it. They would rather post dups and articles about cartoons.

    <sigh>
    <I miss /. from the before time, from the long, long ago.>

    If Novell is a tech graveyard, HP/ComDEC is equal to the Cambodian Killing Fields.

    AT&T my not be long for this world if the bankrupcy courts let MCI/WorldCom off the hook for most of the debt that ran up. If they are allowed to drop that debt, they will have the lowest debt ratio in the entire telecom sector.

    And thay say crime doesn't pay.

  12. Not HP. on Novell/SUSE Prime for Aquisition? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not HP/ComDEC! That is the place where tech goes to die. Besides, they would rather spend their money on new GulfStream 5's.

  14. Re:They are too busy on Ban on Internet Access Tax Dies in Senate · · Score: 1

    As an aside, did you know that as of 36 hours ago, GWB hadn't even mentioned those 16 troops that were killed in that helicopter attack? But, he did find time to note the one firefighter who was killed fighting the fires in CA. Why? Because mentioned the death of those troops whould have made him look bad.

    Both sides do what is best for themselves, before they do what is best for the American people.

    It is just funny/sad to see people get so upset/so happy because the person doing it has the correct (R/D) by their name, but if the letter was reversed, it would be the WORST THING IN THE WORLD(tm).

    I know it sucks! Next thing you know, the Dems in congress will have an entire carrier battle group doing circles off the coast so a DEM can land on it!

    Now THAT would be using our militray for political purposes and would be almost as bad, wouldn't it?

    It is not asking, it the guys with guns forcing you to do it.

  17. Re:Gov't not supporting gratuitous or illegal acti on America's Army - Special Forces Released · · Score: 1

    No, members of Congress complain because it will get them votes. The do not want to fix the issue. If they did they would past stupid laws that say if someone looks under the age of 18, the picture is childporn, even if they person is over the age of 18.

    You are making the mistake that Congress is about getting things done, it isn't. It is about insuring that those currently in Congress, stay in congress.

    "and Congress doesn't compain because of gratuitous violence in and of itself, but rather because it believes they predispose players to violent, antisocial behavior at a subconscious level"
