First and most importantly - nobody was talking to you.
Second, my point was that the quote referenced by the grandparent was not some subconcious confession of conspiracy by the president of Diebold. It was merely marketing cheerleading. They are committed to delivering the electoral votes to the president. And wouldn't you know it - whoever gets the most votes will be the president.
I made no apologies for Diebold's countless mistakes and no accepting statements of the generally pitiful state of electronic voting. I was merely protesting the spin that Diebold's president slipped up and promised GWB the election in the middle of a speech.
How that point managed to escape you and simultaneously trigger such an irrelevant and misdirected rant I have no idea.
Wasn't there a joke that if users are required to change password every second, hackers just need to keep on trying the same password until users themselves changed to match the hacker's password?
Considering that to even run Doom 3 you'll have to had purchased a computer within the last two years why would you expect them to support a 6 year old OS?

Wrong. The Xbox DVD drive does indeed spin backwards. One of the things you have to do when swapping in a compatible replacement drive (Samsung, I believe) is to flip have the rubber drive band so that it causes the spindle to spin backwards. Go to xbox-scene.com and dig around in the hardware modding tutorials for more details.

Excellent - I like the way you guys have chosen to keep all the hackneyed Slashdot jokes in a single thread.

Guess what, dipshit? Whoever wins the election will be the president next year. Oh, what a horrific conspiracy!!
I don't get it, what does Artificial Turd Industries have to do with geek news?
Relax.
My grandmother and ex-wife are nurses.
Dude - you were married to your grandma?!?
People don't buy Macs because they don't want a Windows machine, they buy Macs because they like Macs!
Get the fuck outta here, Pudge!
Ugh - Blondie's reunion tour? No wonder he's single.
Whew! For a minute there I thought you said, "I'm surprised that it looks this long."
If you go on microsoft.com, they don't call linux "linsux" and have pictures of tux fucking a hooker.
Thanks jerk. I just had to explain to my boss what was so funny. Veeeery professional.
(yes I verbed slashdot, but I googled and seems to be ok to do now)
Unfortunately you also verbed verb - which isn't okay yet.
AOL Optimized? Oh shit - the peg just broke off on my cognitive dissonance meter.
For example, a daylight murder with a single bullet to the head is quite different from finding a decapitated and mutilated body in a ditch.
Yikes - I hope you don't write the church newsletter.
After your lock has been cleanly picked, go to your local Home Depot, get a cable cutter and cut the cable yourself.
Hmmmmm - Home Depot is a pretty big corporation. Are you sure we're not supposed to be boycotting them for some reason?

I doubt it - jokes are supposed to be funny.
Not everybody is attached to their family and relatives, some might even appreciate a century-time shift in order to refresh their relations.

Uh, this is about being tired. You need to go to http://saddened.com.
I instantly became the cool guy at LazerTag parties.
Proof that cool is indeed relative.
