  1. Re:One at a time.... on Internet Porn More Addictive Than Crack, Senate Told · · Score: 1

    "Penelope and Ulysses from Homer's Oddessy"
    That would by Penelope and Odysseus, sorry I named my dogs after them.

  2. Re:Voting was fine on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    No challenge in Bellbrook (suburb of Dayton), although the poll workers were not friendly. I said hello, and thank you after I handed him my ballot (punch card, go technology) no response what so ever. Definately long lines, I got lucky the line for my precinct was very short. There were two precincts where I voted, the other one was at least an hour wait at 8 this morning, I don't expect it to get any better throughout the day. Wife's coworker had an hour and half wait in another county. The local radio is saying record turnouts, possibly greater than 60%.

  3. Re:Gamers are nerds are libertarians on On Videogames And Inherent Political Bias · · Score: 2

    I believe a libertarian is a republican who smokes dope. Can't remember who this quote is from, but I love it.

  4. Re:Bleh on PCs Losing Out as a Gaming Platform? · · Score: 1

    I just preorder Vice City from EB for 14.99, I just had to trad in GTA3. It works out to be just like an expansion pack for me, although I don't get to play GTA3 anymore. That is ok, I played that one to death.

  5. Re:No mention of Sentinels though.. on Sen To, X-Men 2 · · Score: 1

    Nope you are out of luck, this one is going to be about the Legacy Virus.

  6. Re:water intoxication on The Golden Age of Cup Manufacturing · · Score: 1

    YOur sig is actually from Emo Phillips, not Arnold.

  7. Re:contradictory on O'Reilly on the Open Source Industry · · Score: 1

    Yout quote is from the Despair catalogue. The Main Title is Cluelessness.

  8. Re:Who will 'force them'?? on Will Microsoft Code-Checking Plans Cripple the GPL? · · Score: 1

    "Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continues... AAY!"

  9. Re:Pearl Jam since "Ten" on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    "I don't know of anyone who thinks Ten is their best album!"

    I do, they were the majority of people who bought Ten, and then when Vs came out and it wasn't an exact clone of Ten, they all stopped buying. Only the people who truly liked their music, and not some image, would say Ten isn't their best album. By the way, Yield was their best Album, Do the Evolution being my favorite song.

  10. Re:How is the Brooks article unintentionally funny on The Almighty Buck · · Score: 1

    Thats funny, seeing as I just locked into a fixed rate mortgage loan last week at 6.75%. Last I checked that was less than 8%.

  11. Re:great news for Linux!?! on U.S. Asked to Put Purchasing Power to Good Use · · Score: 1

    Which studies would that be?

  12. Re:Regular radio sucks anyways on Music Industry Seeks Payola Inquiry · · Score: 1

    Try 97X out of Oxford, Ohio. They are a great, independent radio station. And they are on the web, Rolling Stone just named them their favorite web radio station.

  13. Re:I had a similar Earthlink experience on Disconnecting · · Score: 1

    I got Earthlink DSL myself and had a similar experience. The DSL only worked for 3 days before going down. I spent many hours for the next 2 moths on the phone trying to get it to work, finally I just got fed up and had them cancel the account. I never paid for their service, but my next CC statement had a $100 charge from them. They would never say what the charge was for, just "We will refund you money." Three months(and many more phone calls all with the same excuses) went by but I never got refunded. I finally just gave up and will never use Earthlink again. And yes I realize I could have had the charges refuted from Earthlink, but I am a trusting idiot. After I called the first time and they told my I would be refunded I paid the CC. Found a local ISP, go Donet, that rocks. They send me a bill every month snail mail, so no CC involved.

  14. Re:Lay the blame where it should be. on Are Kids Turning Your Kids Into Killers? · · Score: 1

    Two words: Charles Starkweather

  15. Re:Oh god... here we go again... on Cybercrime Treaty Fight Begins · · Score: 1

  16. Re:What on EARTH are You talking about ? on Pioneer 10 Finally Dead After 28 Years? · · Score: 1

    Like a 63 'stang among the cars are That's pretty interesting since Ford didn't start making Mustangs until 1965.

  17. Re:Vision Station: 1024x768? blah on [In]expensive Immersion? · · Score: 1

    I saw the Vision Station in action two weeks ago at a demo Elumens held. They were running Q3demo on the screen. It looked horrible, and on top of that to get the best view you have to sit practically on top of the projector, which is between your legs. The special lens they use distorts the image. The Visions station will only work if the image being projected is meant to be projected on a curved surface, otherwise the image comes out looking like shit. Oh and 1024X768 is all it did, damn Elumens can't you guys do better than that!? ~Gov't Stooge
