  1. Re:I'm thinking not on Boeing 12,000lb Chemical Laser Set to Fry Targets · · Score: 1

    This isn't a high intensity warfare weapon, it's an assassination or mop-up device. First you bomb them back into the stone age or herd them into camps, then you fry the uppity ones to make an example.

    The Enemies of Freedom paint all their weapons in "Nazi Black". True fact. I saw it on MacGyver.

    Your selective quotation amazes me. Are you active in politics?

    I can't really make out any salient points in your 'roid raging invective, but I think you're trying to say that to have an opinion on cannibalism, one has to be a cannibal. Is that about it?

    I like to shop for and buy video games at real brick&mortar stores.

    There must be a hundred thousand women all across this great nation who cry themselves to sleep every night with a black eye, comforting themselves with the thought that they can make this relationship work if they just try harder to change him.

    So how about you stop being such a pathetic co-dependent doormat? They won't change. They'll never change. There is no good option. Quit taking the punches and move out.

    That'd be a civil suit, Mongo. The government isn't a party to it.

    It's already got the casual consequence free violence, drugs, corruption and personal greed; all they need to do is add the ability to actually rape the prostitutes and you've got a perfect simulator of a foreign billet.

  8. Re:Not accurate. on Microsoft Giving Away Vista Ultimate, With a Catch · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that I can keep an copy of XP idling in a sandboxed virtual machine for 3 months. Would they be interested in the logs for that?

  9. Re:Pragmatism vs. Ideallism on Ogg Vorbis / Theora Language Removed From HTML5 Spec · · Score: 1

    That's the "enjoy" part, but I'm still unclear on what the "pragmatic" and "practical" "benefits" to them are? Take your time answering; I've got a lot of DVD-rip torrents to sort through.

    So, your answer is wind turbines and... superconducting cables to eliminate transmission losses? MONGO.

    Who enjoys the "pragmatic" "practical" "benefits" from "DRM hooks"?

    Exactly. "SHOULD" is the dead skunk under the specification porch. Either say "MUST", or just STFU.

    That must be horrible! I bet you wish you were smart enough to land a job where you get paid for doing nothing, like me.

  15. Why present tense? on Humans Evolving 100 Times Faster Than Ever · · Score: 1

    All of those big population expansions, with their requisite adaptations, are done and dusted. Epidemics and welfare states would seem to be the only remaining evolutionary/devolutionary pressures. How significant are they today?

    why not go with the safer, long term alternative which is wind power?

    Wind power aaaaaand...?

    Seriously, you need an "and" in there. The wind doesn't blow reliably all the time, no matter how hard Windy Miller whistles.

    So. Wind power and...?

    Normally I'd say that when I had the "pleasure" of meeting RMS that he did indeed smell mildly of urine. However, I won't, because all of the zealots who haven't met him would go hog-wild troll rating me.

    To willingly choose Win2K over XP is just ridiculous.

    No activation. It's so important that I'll say it again: no activation.

    The long boot times. Oh, you reboot? Well, fair enough. I'll trade you that against the time that I've never wasted activating or hacktivating XP.

    The lack of OS-level zip file support. Granted.

    Lack of wifi support. If 2K has no wifi support, then how am I posting this?

    Lack of support for certain software (granted, this is a software problem, but XP supports more of the software I need). What software? Some games are beginning to have issues, but nothing that a 5 minute Google hasn't fixed so far. What software that you "need" doesn't run on 2K?

    Now, after XP has been updated several times, even Win2K feels dated and clumsy.

    In what ways, precisely? OK, you don't get the fuzzy fonts, or the Barbie Horse Adventures default theming, but in what other ways does 2K feel "dated" and "clumsy"?

    Modifying the installer to enforce creation of a non-admin user account is "a huge design change"? I guess you must be a consultant.

    And isn't it peculiar how when you leave FutureTek Inc to join TeknoFuture Inc, that your new employer never cares if you have - or respected - a non-compete with your previous employer, while at the same time falling over themselves to make you sign one with them.
