  1. Re:So? on Internet Astroturfer Fined $300,000 · · Score: 1

    Why they post that is beyond me. Serves no purpose.

  2. Re:For once ... on US Postal Service Moves To GNU/Linux · · Score: 3, Informative

    Having interviewed for a position at the postal training center, they used PHP on Apache and Solaris for the OS (Oracle for the DB).

    I'm not sure which training location they are talking about but one of the main ones (Postal Training Center is in Norman, OK).

  3. Re:Problem with wind and solar? on Expanding the Electricity Grid May Be a Mistake · · Score: 1

    I read about it somewhere. Said it actually raised temps 2-3ÂF while in operation.

  4. Re:Some idiot will mod this off-topic, but .... on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    So go to reddit, you can reply more than 1-2x per hour there.

  5. Re:Syncmaster on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Oh here you go, just as an update to see that the monitor doesn't actually do what you said:

    1280x720.

  6. Re:Syncmaster on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    1400x1050 isn't a "wide screen", it's 4:3. A wide screen display at that resolution would be 1680x1050.

    But you're obviously a friggin genius and couldn't see through a technical error on the site. I guess google doesn't make you intelligent after all.

  7. Re:Go ahead and suck it up. on AIX On the Desktop Is Getting the Boot · · Score: 1

    I thought that was a requirement for creating your own API (being a crack addled clown). Infragistics is fun from what I hear.

  8. Re:Imagine on Yoko Ono/EMI Suit Exposes Fair Use Flaw · · Score: 1

    Well in his defense it was fiat money... ;)

    And has Yoko Ono never not been a total cunt? Lennon was an asshole too from what I understand.

  9. Re:Sometimes you've got to ask yourself... on Redesigned, Bulkier Honda Insight to Challenge Prius · · Score: 1

    Ford Escape is a Hybrid

    or just wait for next year and get this:

    I know, it's a Chevy!

  10. Re:At Least Some Features Are a Step Forward on IE8 Beta 2 Fatter Than Firefox and XP · · Score: 1

    MS optimizes for usage last. Their OS betas are nightmares to run/develop for.

  11. Re:Disgraced Arthur Anderson on Non-Compete Clauses Thrown Out In California · · Score: 1

    You're an idiot. First off, it's spelled Arthur Andersen. Second, the case was overturned on appeal (after they'd already agreed to shut down). Third, if every company (firm in this case) were shut down because the actions of a few, there wouldn't be a business left open. Probably 5 partners caused the whole mess at Andersen, so you're saying 56,000 people should lose their jobs as a result.

    How this is 'insightful' I'll never know. I guess the moderators are a bunch of ignorant people as well.

  12. Re:Queue the jokes, and something serious... on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Successful countries don't need a slave economy.

    Sure they do, we outsource our slaves as well. China rules, Mao would be so proud.

  13. Re:Delicious on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    I think it's still too soon. I almost spit my coffee out though.

  14. Re:The Apple Employee on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Think different.

  15. Re:If you've got nothing to hide... on IT Repair Installs Webcam Spying Software · · Score: 1

    Bobbies sounds nothing like boobies if that's what you're implying.

  16. Bah on Why COBOL Could Come Back · · Score: 1

    I hate COBOL. Was forced to take a class in college and they told us it'd be easy to get a job if we took the advanced course. Who the fuck wants to work on 60s tech? I took C instead and am much happier for it.

  17. Re:Fix it at home on How Do You Fix Education? · · Score: 1

    I love going to school. Some people enjoy learning!

  18. Re:Come on, guys. on Apple After Jobs · · Score: 1

    Doesn't 1/2 HP's income come from print cartridges?

    Are you kidding? His ego wouldn't allow that.

  20. Re:Apple on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 1

    Ever tried to open a mac mini? I have one and found out that nightmare first hand.

  21. Re:Of course it will on Will Amazon Get a Visit From the Tax Man? · · Score: 1

    Christ dude, do some learning.

  22. Re:Somewhat old. on Java SE 6 For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Maybe you just don't know what the fuck you're doing. Ever think of that?

    I've got 4GB of ram in my mac and 1GB in my G4. Both run just fine.

  23. Re:I wonder if... on Amazon Fights Back Against NY Online Sales Tax · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well you've definitely got the French anal retentive thing going for you. Magnifique!

  24. Re:Dear MADD, on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Mass transit. I'm drunk off my ass all the time in Europe. No drunk driving issues there :)

  25. Re:Would you buy a Metallica online album...? on Metallica May Follow In Footsteps of Radiohead, NIN · · Score: 1

    And justice for all totally sucked. Have you ever seen them play it live? They shorten the songs by about 1/2 to 2/3. Even they know it sucks. Hence Bob Rock on their next (and IMO best) release.
