    This is a profound theological point that is simply "above my paygrade".

    No, no.
    Driving the Indy car around was the give-away you're a racist.

  8. TFA on Microsoft Concedes Vista Launch Problems · · Score: 1

    We would expect a new version of Windows to be slower than the previous one, given immature drivers and new features that drain CPU cycles and absorb memory.

    Why? Why would we expect this?
    Given a stable and feature complete XP, give some rationale for users to eat a steaming pile of regression.

  13. Re:comparison on Prions Observed Jumping Species Barrier · · Score: 1

    Shot of a Prius with a monster-truck lift kit,
    driven by some hayseed from Appalachia,
    head and arm sticking out the window,
    coming down a huge hill to pick up speed,
    bearing down on cattle arranged along a riverbank,
    hitting a ramp and sailing over the 'species barrier',
    with a triumphant 'Woo hoo!'

    ...is scope creep good for a project?
    Unions have their tactical time and place (credit where due), but the economy of Michigan is usual the strategic result.
    Aside to the wanker with the 'Overrated' mod: your tolerance for ideas not in lockstep with your own is appreciated. Somewhere.

  18. Is there a non-admin install? on Google Chrome, Day 2 · · Score: 1

    I hate running XP in the first place, and running as administrator for a web browser seems the height of silly.
    Maybe I'm in a minority here, but I hope there are some installer improvements to follow.

  19. Re:Does ISO still matter?? on ISO Relevance Questioned After OOXML Appeals Fail · · Score: 1

    That's separate from the question of whether OOXML, itself, matters.
    I submit that, after all this public brouhaha, the court of public opinion is going to kick this standard right in the OO, or maybe flatten them to _ _.

  23. Me and my monkey, with a dream and a gun... on Ron Gilbert Returns With DeathSpank · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    A cleverly hidden reference to 'Manque' is found in a song by the British artist Robbie Williams from the 2003 album Escapology (album). A song called 'Me and my Monkey' referrs to 'Manque' or 'Monkey' as a slightly disturbed and dangerous companion in which the 'Monkey' is acting independently of the singer. In fact, they are one person, and 'Monkey' is the dark, 'failed' side of his character.

    Absolutely brilliant track. Here on YouTube:
