  1. he's already got reservations on Does Ballmer Need To Go? · · Score: 1

    all MS executives residing over the oxygen-starvation era are already booked for their trip to hell.

    let him stay at MS, he's doing a wonderful job of navigating them toward the rocks

    more chairs

  2. Novell will get hosed on Microsoft-Novell Takes Open-Source to China · · Score: 1

    If history is any indication, this is a ploy by MS to get Novell to totally destroy Novell

    Novell, per usually is more than willing to participate

  3. slackers on New Spam Site Found Every Three Seconds · · Score: 1

    3 seconds the best they can do? what a bunch of hacks

  4. there are two kinds of IT people on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    those that know they are idiots, and those that don't

  5. they starve on Monsanto's Harvest of Fear · · Score: 1

    it's an easy call. in monsanto's world, they stole the food.

    so they starve, that is if they are not hacked to pieces or gang-raped and murdered first,

    you did use africa as your example

  6. wrong question on Microsoft or Apple - Who Is the Faster Patcher? · · Score: 1

    should be "whose patches need less patching"

    speed is meaningless on it's own merits

  7. when does Cairo ship? on Windows 7 Likely Going Modular, Subscription-based · · Score: 3, Funny

    that "object file system" is gonna rock

  8. Wrong on Someday You'll Hate Apple (And Google Too) · · Score: 1

    no someday google and apple will not "be hated" just like the Microsoft's of the world.

    sorry.

  9. Windows is a sinkhole on Windows Vista SP1 Meeting Sour Reception In Places · · Score: 1

    where the world stores it's wasted time, energy and money.

    but windows 7 will make up for it.

    until then, just enjoy the experience

    and remember, "no one on the Internet knows you are running Windows VIsta SP1"

  10. Guitar hero needs to pay on Gibson Accuses Guitar Hero of Patent Violation · · Score: 1

    to knock off Stratocasters and Les Pauls

    why should they get a free ride on other's designs?

    pay Gibson and Fender royalties for using their assets for profit.

    that or make a generic guitar no one wants.

  11. maybe they don't like crashes? on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 1

    could it be that Apple KNOWS that if they open up the iPhone to everyone's languages they are going to have a support nightmare when all this crap that becomes available starts screwing up the users phones?

    How much MALWARE coming in via Billy Bob Java's new widget should apple put up with?

    the only way the iPhone stays out of the piece of sh*t category is to PREVENT you morons from messing with it.

  12. Re:It is their phone on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 1

    if it's your phone, replace the operating system and load it up with Java apps.

    if you use Apple SDK, you have to play by the rules of that SDK, how is this different from anyone else's SDK?

  13. train wreck on Dell Documents Reveal Microsoft's Pre-launch Vista Errors · · Score: 1

    what a joke. I don't think I've seen a story like this about lacking/bad drivers since the OS/2 days.

    good thing "no one on the Internet knows your running Windows NT"

    cause they be laughing

  14. Browsers cannot help on Paypal Advises Users To Stop Using Safari · · Score: 2, Insightful

    those too ignorant to leave URL's in emails ALONE

    the headline could have also just said "Paypal tells idiots to stop clicking on paypal emails"

    but that would potentially stop the 1 in 1000000 clicks that are legit and paypal would not want that transaction to not happen, so it's message to us is to stop using Safari.

    isn't anything going on worth reporting? this is filler...

  15. MS builds a big horse on Microsoft's New Leaf On Interoperability · · Score: 1

    who is dumb enough to roll it inside the walls?

    an iPhone killer?

    they should aim lower, like maybe a fischer-price phone killer?

  18. but the rating should reflect the service on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 1

    I hear what you are saying. But the rating system isn't worth anything if it's not a true record.

    I thought it best to simply rate the experience as I experienced it. I left a comment about why. Seems I did him a service of sorts.

    Or at least his next potential customer.

    I appreciate your comment, thanks.

  19. Best prize? give Vista users Mac OS X on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 1

    that's the best give microsoft could ever give, a ticket out of windows.

  20. not my kid, thank you on Microsoft Pushes Copyright Education Curriculum · · Score: 1

    Microsoft can leave it's grubby slime-caked mitts off my child.

    MS education

    what an oxymoron

  21. Why would a buyer need feedback? on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 1

    Either you pay or you don't. If you don't, what does a rating do? prevent me from bidding on other items? NO. so it's useless.

    I purchased an item for my son a few years ago, won the auction and paid within a couple minutes of winning.

    I was sent a completely different item, and it wasn't worth returning, making good, etc. So I left a negative rating due to what happened. and stated exactly why I did so.

    the seller went nuts of course, and I was given a "bad customer" rating (with the comment something like "customer bad, downfall of ebay" ) give me a break.

    Bottom line I paid immediately, I did what I was supposed to do, bid and pay. and my behavior was deemed to be the beginning of the end of ebay.

    with that and other trivial reasons, I have to say ebay isn't on my radar anymore, if I want to visit a trailer-trash swap meet, I'll head down to the local outdoor drive-in this summer to inspect the trinkets.

  22. So a superhero who fixes his own problems? on Microsoft Launches IT Superhero Comic · · Score: 4, Funny

    so WHY is the server down, WHY is there a virus getting in?

    Obviously we need a [Mac,Linux,BSD,Amiga] superhero who can deal with these problems AT THE SOURCE.

    yes, go Cloverdale on Redmond....

  23. Bozo should focus on his shipping on Amazon Patents Customized 404 Pages · · Score: 1

    I made 4 orders to Amazon this last Christmas and 2 of the 4 packages showed up as followed

    a) without my stuff, just the invoice/packing slip with MY address
    b) someone elses stuff, with their invoice/packing slip also included

    So a failure rate of 50% for their shipping facilities each time affecting not only me, but the other Christmas shopper who won't be getting their stuff for Christmas.

    But no, Mr. Bezos is focused on patenting the obvious

  24. Just hire Gort on Examining the Ethical Implications of Robots in War · · Score: 1

    if we could get one of the Gort robots, we'd be set

  25. my condolences for Ubuntu on Lotus Notes 8.5 Will Support Ubuntu 7.0 · · Score: 1

    wow, now Lotus Notes users can be victimized on Linux
