  1. Re:Getting the shaft? on Blagojevich Appears At Chicago Comic Con · · Score: 1

    I think he's slimy as eternity is long, and deserves to be in prison on straight principle. But going into the trial I wasn't convinced that the government had a case. Without sitting through the trial I'd hesitate to say one way or the other.

  2. Re:If you play with matches... on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 1

    point.

  3. Re:This just in on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 1

    That sounds like more cascading paranoia. But I won't say I haven't wondered if that might happen. I don't know if we'll ever really know the truth.

  4. Re:If you play with matches... on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He may in fact be stark raving mad. I've said "he'd have to be monumentally stupid to really do that" too many times about too many people. I usually turn out to be wrong.

  5. Re:Serious lack of imagination on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 1

    Child porn can be added later.

  6. Re:Character assasination in progress on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That could be. It could also be that paranoia cascades out of control.

  7. And not emusic? on String Quartets On the Web? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't follow classical regularly, but emusic seemed to be well stocked. Their supply of obscure free jazz impressed.

  8. Re:I'll see your B and give you an A on What To Do With Old 802.11b Equipment? · · Score: 1

    Actually 'a' is kinda handy, since it runs in the 5ghz band, which isn't quite as viciously congested. There's a fair bit of 'a' compatible equipment out there.

  9. Re:The difference between Amazon and Netflix on Amazon Opposes Plan To End Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine that you don't live in a particularly urban area, let alone an "urban" area where the mailboxes tend to be smaller and have locks on them.

  10. The difference between Amazon and Netflix on Amazon Opposes Plan To End Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The difference between Amazon and Netflix is that Netflix product fits comfortably in a mailbox.

  11. Re:It's still mostly used for calls... on iPhone 4 News Roundup · · Score: 2, Funny

    I see it as eliminating one of the biggest disadvantages of carrying a mobile phone. If I don't have reliable inbound / outbound calls then I don't have to make the pretense of answering calls I don't want.

  12. AT&T (Now MCE) Personal Reach Service on Google Voice Opens To All · · Score: 1

    AT&T introduced a follow-me service that (top of my head) covered most or all of the patent claims in 1996, probably at least as much as Grand Central does.

  13. Re:What a dark, unpleasant place on Databases In Caves? A Unique Google Fiber Bid · · Score: 1

    Much like living in Quincy, rooting for the Cubs seemed like a good idea at one time. Frankly though I couldn't figure out how to give STL or Quincy a chance after trying, and didn't see much point giving Springfield or Peoria a chance, and the Quad Cities seemed not so much like a destination as a place I should have moved if I wanted to make the project less of a disaster.

  14. What a dark, unpleasant place on Databases In Caves? A Unique Google Fiber Bid · · Score: 1

    What a dark, unpleasant place. Getting into the caves isn't so hard, because Quincy is situated on high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi. So access is probably pretty much straight in from the highway or something like it. Keeping the Mississippi out the next time it floods in a major way may be a bigger problem. Being in Quincy though... that's the biggest problem. The darkest two years of my life were my time there, trying to find something to do, trying to stay warm in my cavernous old house. Quincy is 100 miles from anywhere, and once you get anywhere you still have a couple hundred miles to get to anywhere you'd actually want to be.

  15. What files does a single bit error destroy? on One Way To Save Digital Archives From File Corruption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What files does a single bit error irretrievably destroy? Obviously it may cause problems, even very annoying problems when you go to use the file. But unless that one bit is in a really bad spot that information is pretty recoverable.

  16. Re:Dumbass on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 1

    I'm not arguing with sophistical teenagers.

  17. Re:Dumbass on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't have time to google bullshit. You make the stupid claim, you carry the burden of proof.

  18. Re:They did it to the Japanese. on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 1

    Is there any truth to the rumor that you like to be pissed on by large, hairy men?

  19. Re:What you don't know on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Clearly you didn't read the part where I said that I don't accept the citation of bullshit blogs as evidence. You appear to subscribe to the theory that if it's written on the Internet it must be true. Moron.

    Do your research

    No - you made the random claim, you convince me.

    Foremost - teach kids (and adults) to stop picking their noses and either eating it or wiping it somewhere, and to wash their hands.

    Again with the nose picking. I think you are suffering from a neurosis.

    You people stopped at the red light, digging for nose gold, then looking ahead while your finger migrates to your mouth seemingly of its' own accord - I hope your airbag goes off and shoves your finger through your nasal septum and out your eyeball - from the inside. You're adults - start acting like adults.

    I'd see a therapist about your unhealthy obsession with other people picking their noses. It isn't healthy.

  21. Re:What you don't know on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    BZZZZTTTT! YOU LOOSE!

    Sorry - I don't accept cites from random blogs.

    And - in case you didn't know, about 30,000 people die from the flu in an average year - not as many as car crashes, but the same order of magnitude. So yes, an occasional association of the flu vaccine with paralysis and/or brain damage, when there are millions of doses handed out every year, that's pretty acceptable. I know I probably won't win the lottery, but winning the lottery is weakly associated with buying lottery tickets.

    And once again you're incoherent. Go away and die.

  23. Re:What you don't know on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 1

    Most of those don't actually sound half as bad as a good case of the flu. And you hand out enough doses over enough time and there will be a few weird associations that pop up by chance. One question: "cancer virus cell base = your H1N1 Vaccine" -- What the fuck are you talking about?

  24. Re:And the big deal is??? on For Some Medical Workers, a Flu Shot Or Possible Job Loss · · Score: 1

    You might want the vaccine - but obviously some people are morons - and we need to protect the morons too.

    Cite please. It sounds like you're full of shite.
