  1. Re:Trust them on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    I dont agree with this guy either, but dont pin bad parenting on conservatism, just extreemism. Obviously raising children in either extreem conservatism, or extreem liberalism is bad. Just dont point fingers from across the fence.

    I would at least least give this guy alot of credit for effort and attempting to be responsible. The extreem liberal on the other hand takes almost no responsibility for their children, nor does their method require much effort.

    I would put my faith in raising children with moderate views.

  2. Examples for generating hueristics on Google Expanding To IRC? · · Score: 1

    Maybe they use IRC to find what out what garbage is, then de-page-rank any page that has the same garbage on it as the irc channels.

  4. wav trouble on Herrings Use Farts To Communicate · · Score: 1

    Anyone else having trouble with that wav file ?
    Xmms refuses to enqueue it, and play gives a really distorted sound.

  5. Re:Which metal? on Intel: Metal in Future Chips = Less Leakage (updated) · · Score: 0, Troll

    You are incorrect Asshopper.
    The adjective "equal" is used a predicate nominative, and "created" is used as a linking verb.
    Also correct but possibly a more obvious use would have been "All metals are not created to be equal"

    I hope you are not a United States Citizen or you should definitely have recognized the phrase as an allusion to the phrase which is both in our Declaration of Independence and the famous speech given by former President Lincon at Gettysburgh.

    Good luck with your future pedantic posts !

  7. Class Action on SCO Now Willfully Violating the GPL · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    IANAL, but what about a class action suit? Have everyone who has ever submitted any work to the kernel participate.

  8. Who is your audience on 4 Tons Of Plants per Mile to Ride In Your Car · · Score: 1

    Unless you are intentionally preaching to the choir, I suggest you take a look at the audience you are trying to convince and adjust your arguement.

    Unless I am mistaken, its the "Capitalists" you are trying to convince of your position. You would do well not to insult your intended audience by sticking them all in an intellectually small group and distort then exaggerate their position for the benifit you your rhetoric.

    No matter how wrong someone is, you will never convince them of it by insulting them.

  11. Re:Seen this before on Could 'Fire Paste' Replace Shuttle Tiles? · · Score: 1

    "they were only offering him a fraction of what it was worth"

    Um how do you know how much it was worth? The market determines value. The only thing that this says is that it was worth more to him than it was to them.

    ...But this is not connected to the Patriot Act.

  15. Re:A scary concept on China Plans Manned Space Flight October 15 · · Score: 1

    From what I have read, there is not legal definition of "enemy combatant" it was somthing made up by Ashcroftt. Despite a federal judges ruling that the citizens being held without charge must be released, the justice department has not complied. This is actually even scarier than it being legal.

  18. Re:Tinfoil alarm! on Earthstation 5 Claimed to be Malware · · Score: 1

    Way to group 360 000 000 people into one group, and assume that they all argue the same way and believe the same thing. You've obviously either never been to the USA, or you have and talked to 1 person in the time you were visiting.

    What ever your evidence is to support your claims, (which, based on your awesome sterotyping powers, Im going to guess, is both limited and severly flawed), you have provided evidence that you, yourself, are irrational.

  25. Analogy on FSF, GCC, and SCO Compiler Support · · Score: 1

    Thats a really messed up analogy.

    Its more like the contruction workers in the neighboring GNU county refusing to do road work in SCO county because SCO county council members have demanded $699 per person in GNU county, for a reason that GNU county member dont believe is true. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
    SCO county citiziens will be fine untill the old roads start to be inadaquate for their new cars. They will have plenty of time to move to a new county before then (Even to GNU county if they wish).
