  1. I hate bread. on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that thinks any restaurant that hypes up the quality of their bread is piss poor to begin with?
    I guess that's what happens when you're not a carbaholic.
    Oh, and I don't get weed either.

    I bet some doctors would take issue with this.
  6. Re:I'm going to sound like an arrogant ass on Smart People Choke Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is that the reason I have such piss poor memory isn't because of all the second hand marijuana smoke, lead paint, mercury ingestion and kerosene fumes?

  7. Re:Business or Personal? on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    There should be a -1 : P~ moderation.

    Or the Trouble with Tribbles.

  9. Might explain... on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    Is that why I have tens of thousands of Samsung monitors littering my warehouse?

  10. Re:Where's the buggy-eyed smily when you need it? on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    The actual value of anything pales in comparison to popularity. Think high school or pop music. The American greenback is accepted in more places world wide than American Express, Master Card, Visa and any other currency.

  11. Re:FYI on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    Please note that my original post sited a comment from the steam forums, not an official notice from valve.

  12. FYI on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 5, Informative
    Fresh from the Steampowered forums:
    If your Steamid starts with 0:0 you should be able to login with no problems. If your steamid starts with 0:1 then it won't work. 0:1 Auth servers are down.

    The problem with US$2 bills is that people are hording them. The banks and federal reserver have plenty. But people won't use them.

    Better yet, they could use the American Greenback.

  16. Entitlements bad. on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    The problem isn't that the system will fail, and it will. The problem is that it is an entitlement program. When are these people gonna learn that the government is not here to hold our hand from birth to death? I for one would like to opt out of the program completely, both payments and receipts at old age. Cut my loses.

  17. Quick Question on Scalable Enterprise Buzzword Solutions · · Score: 1

    So is it OK to use those buzz words or better yet one of the generators on your resume'?

  18. Adendum to the stickers. on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Evolution is a theory, not a fact.
    Creationism is a superstition, not a fact.

  19. Re:Slow news day? on Pair Arrested After Telling Lawyer Jokes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The can't part is applied to many new laws or how those laws are presented to the people. Usually they are written to take back rights the government, in it's many forms, has assumed.

    Think of it this way.
    For citizens, in America a right not expressly forbiden is allowed. And I don't mean this as a joke, but in Soviet Russia a right not expressly allowed is forbiden.
    As for the government, in America a right not expressly allowed is forbiden. In Soviet Russia a right not expressly forbiden is allowed.
    At least that's how I came to understand it. The American example demonstrates that power is in the hands of the people. At least idealy.

  20. Re:Is this surprising anyone here? on CRTs Still Beat Flat-Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    I don't think your 'other' replies get it.

  21. Re:It's not just the regional bells on Regional Bells Blocking Broadband Competition · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about unadulterated violence? Sure it would take many airplanes crashing into Super Centers all across the country to realistically bring down WalMart. I even think many people would be happy about that, myself included.

    I can't get to Fark here from work. But I bet their headline for this is way funnier. It couldn't have happened to a nicer company.

  24. Re:Get a Gateway on Going, Going, Gone: IBM Sells PC Group To Lenovo · · Score: 1

    IBM already contracts out it's manufacturing. All this does is make someone else accountable for the end product. I bet IBM will still offer 'service agreements' for certain Lenovo customers.
