  1. Re:Liberalism at work! on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    Yep, too bad you posted as AC.

  2. Re:It's all Bush's fault on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 0

    Uh... wrong soapbox, dipshit. Go ride your bicycle somewhere, the rest of us have lives to live.

  3. Re:Enforce those laws on the book, k? on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 2

    Politicians never want to enforce the laws that are already there... that would mean someone would have to step up to the plate and be the bad guy. So, instead, they just pass new laws that are more oppressive than the laws that were never enforced. It's partially judges' faults, too. They're the ones handing out the sentences. Nobody wants to be held accountable for anything they do, so everyone rolls over and plays dead.

    Remember Demolition Man? Even though that was a fictional movie, it seems we're moving closer to it every year. ::Sigh:: Time to get my self a good 'ol non-computer, carbureted vechile, with ignition points instead of electronic ignition.

    A 1972 Buick Skylark GSX sounds about right...

  4. Bravo! on One Company's Response to SCO · · Score: 1

    Jolly good show. And I'm not even British.

  5. High-Proof Alcohol Tank on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    Before our new office building was built alongside our current corporate building, our datacenter (if you could call it that) was in our Winery. Well, in order to make one of our 18% products, they add grain alcohol to the mix... and they store the product in big tanks... right near the IT department. So, needless to say, the fire dep't is expected to respond VERY fast if our alarm goes off. Not inhumane conditions, just something in the back of your mind that reminds you that the entire block could be leveled rather quickly.

  6. Re:I give up. on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    Actually, you liberals wanted it, now you got it. I think Suicidal Tendencies had the best line... "I'm sorry I offended you, but maybe you needed to be offended."

  7. I give up. on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    That's it. California should be chopped of the contenient. Get rid of it.... gone, useless. Just causing us more grief. Next to go should be New Jersey, send them over to China, they're communist anyway.

    Why the f|_|ck should I care about California anyway? Other than the fact that their 9th circuit courts are a group of douchebags.

    Ohwell.

    He should have just shot someone, he would have gotten less time for that in California.

    ...to NOT live in California. I'll add this one to the list of things to relieve us from our freedoms.

    Time to get a classic car. No electronics to be controlled by anyone.

    Only AC's would think of something like that.

  11. Nicotine on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 1

    Actually, there have been some studies out (Heard on the Dr. Dean show) that show that nicotine could actually be benefitial to the heart in moderate amounts. Obviously, too much of anything will kill you. Something to check into, maybe these tomacco plants will be healthy as long as the nicotine level is quite low.

  12. Well holy farkin cripes! on Symantec Says No To Pro-Gun Sites · · Score: 1

    I'm glad I don't use that software. I'll stick to the corporate version of Symantec. I JUST received my concealed carry pistol permit on Saturday, and picked up my pistol just minutes after that. It really worries me that companies that say they are trying to keep our computers safe, are actually doing more to harm us. Ugh. Well, that won't make me actually give them any of my money, ever, never, nope, no way.

  17. Recharge time. on The World's Fastest Electric Car · · Score: 1

    If you could recharge the batteries in under 15 minutes, then that would be excellent. I can fill my 32 gallon tank in about 5-10 minutes (depending on how busy the pump is), and go about 380 miles on it. Maybe less if I don't stick to the "beaten path" (read: pavement).

  18. Well forget this. on Broadcast Flag All But Approved · · Score: 1

    I don't watch enough TV to care about HDTV right now. As long as I can still watch Cops, South Park, and some FNC shows, I'm fine.... well, that and the Races, too... (Not necessarily NASCAR, I also like the local dirt track racing.)

  19. Oh... on Patching Paranoia - How Fast Do You Patch? · · Score: 1

    ...whenever we can get around to it. Usually quickly, unless we cannot devide our processes (assigned tasks) up, then we can do a few, work on something else, patch a few more, work on something else... ya know, just like your CPU does.

  20. Re:New Filing Cabinet System Announced on CNet on WinFS · · Score: 1

    The whole thing wasn't meant to be totally accurate, i was just typing what my brain was spewing on the fly, I didn't even go back to proofread it. Just an example of things that happen when you're in a M$ shop all day.

    Virus this, crash that, corrupted this, not working that, etc.

    Glad someone found some humor in it, tho :)

    I've used several IDE Raid controllers (Software, Raid 0/1) and none of them were difficult to setup and use. How is SCSI easier? Does it have a paperclip to tell you what to do?

  22. New Filing Cabinet System Announced on CNet on WinFS · · Score: 3, Funny

    According to sources close to industry experts, a new filing cabinet will be brought to market sometime in the next year or two. Instead of having files, labeled with what their contents are, you will have a master file cabinet, with thousands of records that will give you a map on how to open a drawer and decipher a complex set of instructions to find the paper you're looking for. The system will revolutionize the way papers are stored in folders. Previously, there was no large, cryptic system for shuffling papers around, now there is a standard way to misplace items. No longer will you have to look just in drawers, but you may not be able to even find the cryptic instructions to lead you to the drawer to start looking in. Details are sketchy, but some have eluded to possible bookworm attacks, that could corrupt the cryptography and therefore render your whole filing cabinet useless. Industry experts suggest that an anti-bookworm product could be available shortly to help protect from this.
