    Give it to IBM? Are you crazy? They'll just outsource the work, slap a logo on it and say look what we did. Give us our money. NOW.
    Oh, and Fuck Lou Gestner.

    I think that the for instance you used might be considered some form of assault. But, then again, IANAL.

    While we're at it, why don't we get rid of that troublesome secret ballot? That would solve many problems in places like Florida. Aren't you proud of your candidate, after all? Another thing we don't want is people disappearing and starting their lives over again. Heaven forbid they get a fresh start. We've got to make them people accountable. How dare they think they can skip out on everything they're supposed to do and be FREE.

    Before you think I'm some paranoid holed up somewhere waiting for THEM to come for me, know this. My prints are on file with the FBI. I did this voluntarily when I got my concealed-carry permit. Another poster commented on trusting the government. When the law is so unevenly distributed, you should expect resistance. These third parties who are working in our best interests are only concerned with our money. That's a reality I don't close my eyes to.

  4. Re:They missed a good one on Be Thankful If They Just Snore · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the advice, but no shit. I've been thinking that for a long time without the help of a dream. I just think it's funny when people say they have dreams of being chased or of being naked. I've already explained the first. The latter, when I'm naked, when I finally notice, it seems mostly unimportant, like I gotta' remember to change my oil, or get milk from the grocery store, or put pants on.

  5. Re:They missed a good one on Be Thankful If They Just Snore · · Score: 1

    Whenever I'm being chased in my dreams, I get extremely pissed off, stop and turn around. Then I proceed to counter-attack whoever or whatever is chasing me. Somehow I end up slashing at them with either their knife or one that appears. I wonder what that means.

    Quick, somebody throw a bucket of water on Jack. Maybe he will melt. I bet he really does have flying monkeys. He just can't legally say what he does with them.

    You mean like the IBM logo? I'm not implying they make crap. I'm implying they don't make anything.

    Of course, the REAL reason why CS doesn't appeal to women is that it's a boy's club.
    Is this what happened to the He-Man Woman Haters Club?

    Don't tell them that. They'll patent their method and sue Enron and WorldCom.

    If we all mention SearchKing enough in our replies. And a great number of us reply. Maybe we can outrank SearchKing in a Google search of searchking.

  11. Re:Utter Bullshi-ite. on The Speed Of Gravity Revealed · · Score: 1

    Does this further mean that there will one day be the speed(s) of fundamental forces instead of just light and gravity? Would the weak and strong forces follow this trend of near 'c'? Either way, I doubt it will make much difference in my life.

    This means, you are legally able to have your logs written to /dev/null since this means that were never generated (and thus could not have been destroyed).

    Kinda' like that tree in the forest that fell and no one was there to hear it, right?

  15. I can envision a big red button. on Automakers and Crash Data Recorders · · Score: 1

    When I started reading this, I started thinking about a big red button, sitting somewhere near the driver, ready to be pushed for the purpose of frying the black box. Various wired leading from the button of doom, to a capacitor perhapse, then to the black box. Also other triggering mechanisms in case the driver is knocked out. What about a little C-4 to clear away those incrimating bits? How many tin foil hat wearing freaks will get out of their cars with a hammer and start beating away at the engine compartment after they rear end someone? I just hope no one places the button near their radio.

  21. Re:Here's a brainstorm... on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1

    Good thing the problem with guns isn't that they kill people, but that there are too many to choose from. As for the hot air, it's generated by people who think other people shouldn't be doing things they think are wrong or in your sense illogical. But I, apparently from my lack of education, don't see your logic. Also, we don't have to fear the king anymore. He's dead, last I checked. We do have to fear the drug dealers, gang bangers and other thugs who could care less about overthrowing the government and more about the check comming from them the first of the month. And the chosen few who would do anything to keep their position, like dealing with a troublesome intern the wife doesn't like.
    My suggestion to you is that you break out your communicator and call the Enterprise. See if they can't reverse that transporter accident that threw you back to the 21st century.

  22. Re:Potential lawsuits...against the guns now? on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1

    No, it wouldn't be better. Why? Because everyone would have to be searched several times to remove all of the guns. And why should I be subject to search just because Johnny had one and I might have one too?

    What just because this isn't a cure-all for gun violence you outright reject it?
    But this is how any gun measure is portrayed. If we could only pass this simple little law, all crime would end. At least that's the type of crap I always hear. And you're right in that America (USA) is the Great Experiment. But other places have tried it with less than sensational results.

    Sorry again, but just because they took a law, wrapped it in gold, presented it with a swim suit model and said it's for the children, doesn't mean we can't see who's pulling the strings on that puppet. We all know it's the bitter wife of a fat man in a wheel chair who happened to take a bullet instead of President Reagan.
    And what if I were a wife beating, child raping drunk? I would hope someone, even a kid had the balls or FEAR of their life to put me down. Who would honestly blame them.
