  1. Re:assembler? on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 4, Informative

    Then again, maybe not.

  2. Re:FireWire has DMA, not USB! on Users Rage Over Missing FireWire On New MacBooks · · Score: 1

    +1 Insightful

  3. Re:Release timing on Apple Announces New MacBook, Pro, Air · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because they're releasing them right before the start of the Christmas shopping season.

  4. Re:BUSINESS - JESUS = CORRUPTION AND THEFT on Michael Robertson Sued Over Missing Linspire Cash · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, if Business - Jesus = Theft + Corruption, it follows that Business = Theft + Corruption + Jesus!

  5. Re:McCain/Palin 08:Put Christ BACK in the Oval Off on Viewing Tool Provides Scrutiny of Debate Footage · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware that Jesus Christ had ever been in the Oval Office. When did that happen, exactly?

  6. Re:I have never been more proud to be a republican on US House Limits Constituent Emails · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Guess which party has clean hands in all of this?

    Mine! Woo hoo, Green Party!!

  7. Re:Combinatorial Explosion on Working Effectively with Legacy Code · · Score: 1

    That would be witty except that I had also written:

    Unit testing is but one tool in a developer's toolbox.

  8. Re:Thanks from the reminder on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    Well, usually I prefer to see a woman coming but maybe in this case...nah, I'd rather see her coming.

    What were we talking about?

  9. Re:Combinatorial Explosion on Working Effectively with Legacy Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And because testing cannot be complete, it can never provide sufficient verification.

    That's like saying that seat belts can't save your life in every car accident so they're not worth wearing at all. Unit testing is but one tool in a developer's toolbox. It is not an all-encompassing solution to all of a project's ills.

  10. Re:Thanks from the reminder on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    I wish people would quit calling Iraq a war. If it were a war, we wouldn't be holding presidential elections right now.

    WTF? You do know the US held presidential elections during WWII, don't you?

  11. Re:Thanks from the reminder on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    No rack, though, so it's a wash.

  12. Re:US Citizens only on Bill To Add Accountability To Border Laptop Search · · Score: 1

    And thus it is proved the USA education system still can't teach people geography. 3 continents, please: North, Central and South America.

    Is the smiley supposed to be implied or did you simply forget it?

  13. Re:Interesting Read on Scott Adams's Political Survey of Economists · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't blame me. I'm voting for Kodos.

  14. Re:Just out of curiosity on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    Of course you never know - McCain's old - she might walk into the oval office in something slinky - he keels right over.

    No rack. No legs. I think he'll be fine (meow :-).

  15. Re:Just out of curiosity on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    Ms Palin has been a pain in the arse to the oil Companies in Alaska.

    How much of a pain could she have been, given her husband works for an oil company? I'm not trying to be an ass, I really want to know.

  16. Re:Re-education on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1

    It's sad that people believe that Bush oppresses people just like China. Waterboarding might not be a walk in the park, but it's been applied to three people who were known to be high-level terrorists. We got information from them. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but it's done.

    Not a walk in the park? It's T-O-R-T-U-R-E, you fucking idiot. Did you know we defeated the Nazis without torturing them? It most definitely "didn't have to be that way".

  17. Re:Hmm... I have a correction to the title on The US Swim Team's Secret Weapon, Science · · Score: 0, Troll

    You'd have to leave your parents' basement for it to make sense.

  18. Re:Well let's just be honest here on Apple's Market Cap Exceeds Google's · · Score: 1

    ...Apple is selling their products for a lot more than it costs them to produce...compared to most of their competitors.

    So Apple's customers are happy and the company more profitable than their competitors. I'm not seeing a problem here.

  19. Jerks on In-flight Cell Ban Advances In Congress · · Score: 1

    What about a bill to ban the loud, drunk jerks on my last flight? Why did I have to tell the flight attendants that I was wearing headphones to keep from disturbing my neighbors and that the "party" in front of me were disturbing their neighbors with their singing? Couldn't the flight attendants have figured that out for themselves?

  20. Just Got Mine... on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...at an AT&T Store. They told me I need to go home and connect to iTunes to finish the activation. It's not ideal but it's no biggie. I'm thinking Apple will have smoothed out any problems out by the time I get home this afternoon. Well, at least I can charge it here at work.

  21. Re:Conservatives Censored by Fairness Doctrine on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 1

    Sure, we now have Fox. So that balances TV out a little...

    Bullshit. Conservatives actually think Fox is fair and balanced. From that I must conclude that the non-Fox media outlets must be doing a good job of fence-sitting since the right constantly whines about their liberal bias. Conservatives never wanted fair and balanced, they wanted a rightward bias all along.

    Fixed that for you.

  25. Re:news? on Artist/Astronomer Exhibits Photos Of Spy Satellites · · Score: 1

    So the only way we can know that censorship is going on is if nobody complains about it? Funny thing about the Right in this country and their grasp of logic...
