  1. Re:If you don't already.... on The Beatles On iTunes · · Score: 1

    The next time you get annoyed with Paul for being so fluffy, take a listen to "Helter Skelter". Paul McCartney practically invented heavy metal with that song. Pete Townshend wishes The Who ever recorded anything that powerful in the studio.

  2. Re:OpenOffice [unfortunately] not ready on Can Windows, OS X and Fedora All Work Together? · · Score: 1

    OpenOffice is not ready, never has been ready, and never will be ready. Oh, how I hate OpenOffice.

    Because Firefox blows.

  5. Re:Seriously? on Jammie Thomas Hit With $1.5 Million Verdict · · Score: 1

    I've served on several juries and have never been asked whether I have a degree or not. Watch out, your ignorance is showing.

  6. Re:Indeed, THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET on A Decade of Agile Programming — Has It Delivered? · · Score: 1

    IT managers suffer from what I call the "Oprah" syndrome.

    Fixed that for you.

  7. Re:Summary anyone? on Ray Ozzie's Departing Memo a Warning To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Amen!

    Speaking of complexity, Ray, when memos get too complex (read: "long-winded"), people tune out and move on. Life's too short.

  8. Re:Parenting skills? on Apple Awarded Anti-Sexting Patent · · Score: 1

    I know my kids will find a way around. In some cases I know exactly how they will do it.

    +2 Insightful

  9. Re:Gamers rejoice, they launched with Tetris! on Microsoft Unveils Windows Phone 7 Lineup · · Score: 2, Funny

    1989 called. It wanted to thank you for remembering it.

  10. Re:Sure. on Against Apple, Ballmer Floats Microsoft Merger With Adobe · · Score: 1

    Any company that couldn't figure out they should get off Carbon and migrate to Cocoa within ten years is too stupid to live.

  11. Re:What exactly is the middle ground? on Top Reason for Facebook Unfriending Is Too Many Useless Posts · · Score: 1

    Class reunions.

  12. Re:You learn diffferent things about people online on Top Reason for Facebook Unfriending Is Too Many Useless Posts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sorry but if you (not you "you" but the generic "you") seriously believe that Obama was born in Africa then trying to reason with you is like trying to reason with the crazy cat lady pushing her shopping cart. You can't reason with crazy.

  13. Re:Times have changed on Father of Java, James Gosling Unloads · · Score: 5, Funny

    I googled his name on altavista.com...

    That's priceless.

  15. Re:The caption says it is Buran. on Soviet Shuttle Buran Found In a Junk Heap · · Score: 1

    Looks like they put power lines on that scaffolding, too. ;-)

  16. State Secrets on Google Publishes Censorship Map · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "Chinese officials consider censorship demands to be state secrets so we cannot disclose that information at this time," said Google.

    Somewhere in Washington, D.C. or nearby Virginia, someone in a cubicle just said, "Ooh, good idea!"

  17. Re:Fucktards on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    But your point is that they didn't exist, right?

    No. My point is that if Saddam having WMDs was such a big, scary deal, big enough to start a war over, then maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't have handed them over to him in the first place.

  18. Re:Fucktards on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 0, Troll

    So you are saying that Saddam never had the WMDs that he used to kill thousands of people...

    Just the ones we sold to him.

  20. Re:Seattle COL on Ballmer, Bezos Fund Effort To Undermine Bill Gates · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    They are not people whose throats ought to be slashed by the government simply because they can't control their spending habits.

    If you think a 5% tax on income over $200,000 is equivalent to getting your throat slashed, I suggest that you need to get out and get some perspective lest you become even more of a whiny, insufferable twit.

  21. Re:Hunters and responsibility on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    Sounds like people shouldn't have shot all the wolves.

  22. Re:Hunting for food? We don't gather, either. on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    I dare you to list one single reason why a modern society _needs_ to _hunt_ for _food_. There are none.

    I dare you to list one single reason why any society _needs_ to create and watch movies. There are none.

    People just want to.

    The pro-government bias in on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and MSNBC.

    Hahahahaha! Silly troll.

  24. Re:Now that's just stupid. on UK Teen Banned From US Over Obscene Obama Email · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He has earned the right to speak in support of those principles...

    So has every American citizen. Sorry but having served in the armed forces doesn't give one extra special First Amendment rights with a cherry on top compared to those who haven't. You may give his opinion more weight but that is not the same thing.

  25. Re:Atheist on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Every atheist accepts that there is no deity on blind faith and without further investigation.

    Let me get this straight: you insist I prove a negative when you can't even prove a positive? How convenient.
