  3. Re:Write your own tools on Technology to Help with Learning Disabilities? · · Score: 1

    a leigion of instructional designers and people who specilize in communicatating with children/disabled people to actualy create the content.

    Right. It's the consultants that do all of the work. If the guy has a disabled brother then I think he has a pretty good idea of the paticular strengths and weaknesses he needs to cater to.

  4. Don't forget RedHat on Red Hat & Centos On Name Usage · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sometimes it is referred to as RedHat, without a space between the Red & Hat.

  5. A rise standard of living... on Verizon To Acquire MCI For $6.7 Billion · · Score: 1

    A rise standard of living always comes with a price. And that price makes it not worth it.

    Dear God, you're probably a Seinfeld fan as well.

    Don't you realise that comedy is supposed to be funny?


    I suppose you prefer ruthlessly clever shows like Friends with inane laugh tracks to let you know when something funny was said?

  9. Re:Amazing stupidity! on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    " they started to shift their fight into legislating Windows into a product consumers won't want. "

    No, Microsoft already took care of this since the release of Windows95.


    Right. MS has sold almost 250 Million copies of XP.

  10. EU giving American companies grief. on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is about Brussels sticking their thumb in the eye of an American company. Not much different than their subsidization of Airbus.

  11. Let's raise money for Arrested Development on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    check out The OP. Fox has the funniest sitcom on TV on the chopping block.

  12. Weren't they found under a copier? on Los Alamos Missing Disks Never Existed · · Score: 1

    I thought they had been found? Who ever took them stashed them back under a copier of some other piece of office equipment so that someone would discover them?

  13. Gates on Prospects For the CELL Microprocessor Beyond Games · · Score: 1

    I believe he is selling so that AIDS patients in Africa can live longer and spread the disease even further, allowing the virus to mutate and becoming more virulent in the process.

    He's very clever that Bill Gates.

  20. Re:Democracy / Republic on EU Software Patent Law Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    If in doubt go back to the Greek:

    REs PUBLICa - Public Thing

    Meaning, when a sovereignty resides in the people. Given that standard Iraq was hardly a republic.

  21. Democracy / Republic on EU Software Patent Law Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    The definition of each word is sufficiently vague to the point that the words are synonyms.

    From Merriam Webster:

    Democracy - a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections

    Republic - a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law

    Anyone notice how paticularly venomous the antipathy towards Fiorina was? Even more so than the like of Ebbers and Lay?

    It's not illegal, but the person recieving the services has to report it as income and it is taxed at fair market value.
