  1. VP Gore on The Internet At 35 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So Gore was VP in 1969? Now I'm throughly confused.

  2. Re:if two businessmen come with the same idea on HP To Start Selling Its iPod · · Score: 1

    Just like when Epson started selling Zip-100 drives. Funky seeing a white Zip drive. :D

  3. Re:Well, it's not so bad on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    >> busting a pot smoker

    I like how the Republicans put out those anti-drug ads stating that drug money was being funneled to terrorists groups. What a load of crap.

  4. Heavy Metal on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    That schmuck Ashcroft reminds me of that android that short-circuited in the middle of the movie Heavy Metal. I hope some alines would come down and haul his ass back to the repair shop.

  5. Frogs on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    We're talking about the same lame country that allowed 15,000+ people die because they thought air conditioning wasn't a good idea. Viva La Stupidity!

  6. John Dvorak on Time to Kill Microsoft Word? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wow, that clown John Dvorak still around? It's good that he's thumping some Word alternatives but I never trusted that guy. There has been solutions out for a long time and now he's coming out to advocate them? A little too late if you ask me. I think he's just trying to drum up some writing business.

  7. Colors going out of control... on Apple Patents 'Chameleon' Computer Case · · Score: 1

    What a great target for the evil virus/worms writers. Maybe this will get some people to start writing some stuff to target the software controls for the 'case color'. Make the case strobe in weird colors or randomly change the colors at random times.

  8. Re:Repairs on Canadian Robot Could Rescue Hubble · · Score: 3, Insightful

    >>Ditching it may be stupid, but this is crazy.

    I guess the main reason is that the damn thing is still cranking out incredible images and has a huge waiting list. Besides I consider the so called ditching solution by O'Keefe to be extremely lazy. If the replacement is so inexpensive, why not eventually have both devices serving the scientific community?

  9. Repairs on Canadian Robot Could Rescue Hubble · · Score: 1

    I'm just happy that they decided not to ditch the Hubble.

  10. Re:Non-Competes.... on Seagate Says Ex-Employee Can't Work For Competitor · · Score: 1

    >> A gentelman like Mr. Goglia is also not in the postition of having to drop down to a $6.75/hr. salary, he may fly an airplane as well as a helicopter, such advanced skills innately implying noncompeting skills as well

    That's not a very good comparison. There is a huge skillset difference between flying a plane and a helicopter. You might as well ask a Dentist for whom just lost his/her job to suddenly become a Neurosurgeon since it's a non-competing skill set.

  11. Re:How to make the warranty work for you on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 2, Funny

    Simple solution for a simple question. Just purchase two more locks.

  12. Re:Nice to see a few less gallons consumed on Ford Launches First American Hybrid · · Score: 1

    >>Switzerland has better roads than the USA

    Right, it was kept that way to support the dreaded Swiss heavy bicycle brigades. Too bad they finalyl retired that unit. Maybe the roads will go to hell now?

  13. Re:Screensaver on Disney Enters PC Market · · Score: 1

    According to the jury after the trial, the stage show which the defense lawyer put on by donning the suit really didn't prove anything. I believe they let the guy off the hook since there is no evidence that the defendant was really under the mask. What I found funny was that the defense lawyer also moonlights as a Disney character at the parks. :D

  14. Sounds like the old boot-camp scam on Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time? · · Score: 1

    It all just sounds like an "extended" boot-camp. Besides that, that so called university is getting all the software for free but they're still charging a ton of money to take their cram courses.

  15. Screensaver on Disney Enters PC Market · · Score: 1

    Do they all come with "Fondle me Tigger" screensavers?

  16. Re:Open source? on Lawsuits Force 321 Studios Out Of Business · · Score: 1

    >> You mean I can't use Locksmith 6 or NibblesAway II anymore?

    Feh, those cheapo products will never do. You need to use the venerable Edd v4.

  17. Re:Yes it is... on Patriot Act Used to Enforce Copyright Law? · · Score: 1

    >>Voting...by the people...democracy. Check!

    Maybe it'll be easier for people to choose their candidate if there is a 'political scorcard' which lists all their lobby groups that they whored themselves out to? Then people really know the candidate's political roadplan if they're elected.

  18. Outlandish claims on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    What an outlandish claim. This type of announcement reminds me of similar claims by Doomsday Churchs on precise dates when the Earth will be destroyed.

  19. Re:"Santa Claus Organization" on Groklaw Debunks SCO's ELF Heist · · Score: 1

    Screw the North Pole. The South Pole is where the fun is. Tons of blind albino penguins to play with.

  20. Re:Bzzt on Former Windows Chief on Microsoft Vs. Open-Source · · Score: 1

    >>that desktops where toys, and getting a minimal machine to do minimal tasks required a lot of $$ investment.

    Like the introduction of the Mac with their Laser printer? Cool setup but pretty expensive.

  21. Re:NYT is dumbing down their material on Searching for The New York Times · · Score: 1

    Well in fact I do. When was the last time you picked up a NYT or WSJ? I've been reading both for the past 8-9 years daily.

  22. NYT is dumbing down their material on Searching for The New York Times · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I use to have a lot of respect for the New York Times but now they've begun a new policy in watering down their content. That's right, they been adding fluff and dumbing down articles in order to attract new customers.....women. The Wall Street Journal has already been doing this for awhile now so the NYT has decided to ape them. Shame on both papers.

  23. Stolen cars on Mexican Attorney General Gets Microchip in Arm · · Score: 1

    Are these the same Mexican officials that buy stolen SUV & Luxury cars from America? You should see all the US Border videotapes of car thieves that blow past the checkpoints with stolen cars. For some strange reason, a lot of these stolen vechicles find their way into the hands of government officials.

  24. Re:Don't turn off sharing! on RIAA To Subpoena Univ. of Michigan Names · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder what the political landscape would look and act if they outlawed legal bribes from lobby groups. Shouldn't politicians be listening to the individual voters instead of whoring themselves off to deep pocketed corporations?

  25. Re:Don't turn off sharing! on RIAA To Subpoena Univ. of Michigan Names · · Score: 1

    >>corrupt lobbyist group

    Don't you mean the corrupt and immoral politicians that accept the 'donations' from these sleazy lobbists?
