  1. We need less Ozone layer! on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 1
    Since airborne pollution blocks sunlight, while destroying the Ozone layer permits more in, then we must be careful to maintain a balance between the amount of pollution being released into the atmosphere and the amount of Ozone we destroy.

    We're clearly erring on the side of more pollution, and I think it is high time we step up Ozone-depleting emissions. Otherwise, we will continue to receive less and less sunlight.

    In other words, the solution to pollution is the increased usage of CFCs. Q. E. D.

    Note for the humor-impaired: the above is satire. You know, tongue-in-cheek, haw-haw, funny?

    McVeigh was from New York- should we invade New York also?
    Ah, the classic straw man defense.

    This thread is rapidly headed down troll-lane, but I'll bite and post one last reply: I fail to see the connection between what a web site says and what I've said on /.

    You've just proven your idiocy again. Congratulations!

    Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

    And furthermore, NorCal is different than SoCal. For those of you not living in NorCal, please don't associate us, the enlightened denizens of NorCal, with the uncircumcised savages that inhabit SoCal. :^)

    Wow, you're a Christian and a moron.

    Er, wait. I'm being redundant.

    You're a moron. It's your job, while employed at a company, to monitor what said company is doing. If they're busy fucking over the world, then that should serve as the writing on the wall.

    I can't stand people who are laid off and then whine "but I didn't see it coming!" Yeah, you had your eyes shut. Keep 'em open next time, eh?

    SCO employees have made their beds; now it is time for them to lie in them.

  8. Re:Commuting is stupid on Work No Longer a Place but an Activity · · Score: 1
    I commute roughly an hour and a half per day (45 minutes each way) and it costs me US$45 per month.

    I live in San Francisco. So there!

  9. Re:Just run Spybot on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 1
    http://www.spybot.info. That's all it takes.
    And Ad-Aware (http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10214379.html). Neither program will catch 100% of spyware, but by using both, you can be reasonably certain that you've caught most of the spyware.

  15. Re:Script on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: -1, Troll
    I have a script that if I don't use my computer for longer than 5 hours it assumes I have died and sends / to /dev/null.
    Five hours? You're a fucking moron.
  16. Why Would You Care? on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Let's not forget the key component of this: you will be dead. Thus, why would you worry now about your data? It isn't like it can follow you, have an effect upon you, or in any way influence you once you're dead.

    For those who might answer, "well, my pr0n collection would be embarassing," I gotta ask: how so? You'll be well past the point of caring.

    The stuff that I bother to encrypt, and the data that I do worry about is that which could obstensibly get me in trouble while I'm alive. Once I die, I couldn't care less who looks through what.

    Wrong! I was home schooled, and both my parents and all the other home schooling families we knew were rabid right-wing born-again creationist zealots.

    Conversely should we call Romans from the pre-modern era "Italians" now because it's not Rome anymore?
