  1. Re:How's about... on Remove iPod European Volume Cap · · Score: 1

    You can thank the liberals and socialists who have mostly held power since FDR, the worst president EVER!

  2. Re:Thermal wax printers on Color Printing Without the Inkjet Mess? · · Score: 1

    Kodak's Printer Dock 6000 is a thermal dye-sub, and all of the printers in Picture Maker Kiosks are thermal dye-sub. I'm running prints on one now!

  3. Re:it's tough shit for him, since on Sexual Harassment for Consultants? · · Score: 1

    I wish California would secede from the union. The lack of understanding of the second amendment in that state makes it very dangerous for the rest of the country. Maybe the state will just fall into the ocean soon.

  4. Re:But the license is the key... on FreeBSD 5.1 Review and BSD Roundup · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Troll. You obviously don't understand the concept of free software: software that anyone can use, including Microsoft. I'm sure the BSD community is just tickled pink knowing that they write software that even MS thinks is great. Now, if only we could get rid of all the viral (your term, not mine) GNU software from FreeBSD. That there is my dream. If only I had the time to write a compiler...

    Sadly, my sig isn't filled with huge words.

    Down in California, a twenty dollar fine!

  7. Re:Okay, so now what? on Linksys Releases GPLed Code for WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Great, GPL the code. But now make it useful for me.

    That's your job, not theirs.

  8. Re:What about due process? on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    I have a good remote method for removing politicians, but its not legal. We should start off with Clinton, then Hatch, Byrd, and a couple other old fucks who have lifetime jobs doing absolutely nothing besides misreading the Constitution.

  9. Re:Excuse me, BUT What 3 Religions? on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1

    That, my friend, is just plain wrong. The Qu`ran specifically states that all believers in the one true god should be considered as equal. Attacking a Jew or Christian is absolutely against everything the Qu`ran is trying to preach. That is the problem. Islamists (notice I said Islamists, not Muslims; the difference is HUGE!) do not understand this. This oversight by Islamists is the ONLY justification they can think of to get the Islamic world behind them, and it has worked since 1948. Sad, really. If the literacy rate in the Islamic world was half of what it was in the heyday of Semitic civlization, this problem wouldn't exist. It's all a controlling mechanism, the most saddening part.

    Regardless of my citizenship, its not too hard to read and decide the meaning of a section of a book. When one is literate, one can make such judgements.

    Next you're going to tell me that Arabs are not Semitic, and then I'll know you're a fucking troll.

    I can't believe I misspelled derogatory even after looking it up at dict.org.

  11. Re:Excuse me, BUT What 3 Religions? on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1

    If one can read and understand the Qu`ran, which any Islamist CAN NOT, they would know that Jews and Christians are to be respected as 'people of the book.' Since Islamists are FUCKING RETARDED and can't read, they don't know this. Besides, Islam would not exist without Judaism.

    Yet they like to kill each other...

  12. heh on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe the kid in the first movie should have said "there is no god." Instead of bending a spoon with your mind, it'd probably be a tad easier to convince the religious *insert_deragtory word_here* that there is no god.

    Nah, bending the spoon is easier.

  13. Re:grub and UFS2 on FreeBSD 5.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can use sysinstall to load the mbr without trashing the disk with a newfs. Boot from a CDROM built with the ISO from the release installed on the machine.

  14. Re:reminds me of Baraka on Chicken Run · · Score: 1

    Sadly, I own it. It came with my DVD player. Haven't watched more than 5 minutes though. The intro sucked too much to watch the rest of it.

  15. Re:Why Not? on North Korea's School For Hackers? · · Score: 1

    Its not like we didn't find anything Secretary Powell pointed out in his UN speech. We found not one, but two of the tractor trailers he specified in his speech. This whole "we haven't found any WMD in Iraq" is ignorant bullshit. Teach your liberal friends how to read; its obvious that they're illiterate.

    I can't wait until my brother gets back from Iraq and can tell me all about the nasty shit they did find and the media ignores. Go USMC!

  16. Re:Focus Electronic on Searching for Keyboards Loaded with Features? · · Score: 1

    I have a couple old AT Focus keyboards with the trackballs on them, but the trackball is where the arrow keys are on a normal keyboard. One of them will quit working after about 20 minutes, so it sits around unplugged until I need it for a quick job on a normally headless machine. Otherwise, they're ok.

    Nothing beats this Packbell keyboard (model 5131C) I've been using for the last 10 years, on 5 machines, though. I hope to find a couple new ones sometime, as this one is starting to get flaky. I don't feel like buying a POS Packbell off eBay just to get another used kayboard, though.

  17. Re:Oh No! on RIAA vs The Economy · · Score: 1

    I'm glad this was modded as funny, because now I can't be a dick when I say "there's a reason that all new Kodak Digital Cameras have a SHARE button!" It's part of the focus on new technologies, which nobody really sees Kodak as being a leader in. OLEDs anyone? The market critics have been so dead wrong on EK for the last couple of years...

  18. Re:And beyond fifth grade they use "point" on Eleventy What? · · Score: 1

    Of course, using "point" when referring to money would sound pretty retarded. If I ever see that on a check, I'll die laughing with a finger pointing and a hand on the gut.

  19. Re:Maybe on Eleventy What? · · Score: 1

    "And" is used to denote the decimal point, as in "four hundred thirty six and two tenths" = 436.2, or so says every first grade mathematics textbook I've ever seen.

  20. Re:+1 Interesting... on Toshiba To Show Laptop Fuel Cells at CeBit · · Score: 1

    If only I could give you every mod point in the world...

    This is EXACTLY the kind of thinking that people in this world should be pursuing. People need to stop with the "think of the children" bullshit and learn to defend themselves, and those they care about, instead of relying on something else (that can't possibly do the task, like the government) to defend them.

    Back on topic, I want fuel cells too. Now! :)

  21. Re:why nobody else? on Kodak Releases Digital Camera With OLED Display · · Score: 1

    Umm, maybe because Kodak developed the technology and has just recently started licensing to other companies? Anymore info might get me fired. :)

  24. Re:Opera sues Apple? on Safari Killing Opera for Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    So Apple doesn't have a "monopoly" in the OS market on their hardware just like MS doesn't have a "monopoly" on X86 hardware? (Monopoly in quotes because neither MS nor Apple have a monopoly on their respective platform; they're both part of an oligopoly in their respective markets.) It really is pitiful how little geeks know about economics.

  25. Re:The State of digital in CH on Cell Phones - Analog vs. Digital · · Score: 1

    If you're using Cingular, the problem is most likely your phone. I get a full (4 bar) digital signal in my apartment, and even in the basement of my father's house while in Cingular's Extend mode. I'm currently using a Nokia 5165 after having a 5120 for 3 years (the battery clips finally crapped out after a couple nice impacts, and getting a new phone was cheaper (free!) than a new battery.) I even get a decent (2 bar) digital signal at work in the middle of a huge warehouse.
