  1. Re:How Israeli Companies Are Succeeding... on Business Under Fire · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You were doing okay until:

    For as far as I can see, dear poster and dear citizen of the US: we here in Europe don't need and have never asked for your protection.

    Um, does World War II ring any bells?

  2. Re:How Israeli Companies Are Succeeding... on Business Under Fire · · Score: 1

    By all means, don't chill out. You rock.

  3. Re:OGG format? on Music Download Service Targets Linux Desktops · · Score: 2, Informative

    So get the FLAC versions and convert it to whatever you want.

  4. Re:Looks like an okay service... on Music Download Service Targets Linux Desktops · · Score: 1

    You have to go to the OGG version of the album to preview songs (in the client). The FLAC version of the album doesn't have the demo link. Lame, I know, but that's how it works.

  5. Re:You're right its cool to be stupid on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    You rock. Up until the "I am just smarter than you," that is, which is the same as the name calling you deride. Great discussion up to that point, though. Civil discourse, what a concept.

  6. It Knows Where You Live on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    Have you folks noticed that it takes into account where you are? For instance, I started typing in "chili john's", a chili place nearby. Once I got to the "j" it suggested "chili johns" even though there are more popular searches for "chili j". Try it with places nearby you. It's too cool!

  7. Re:What a lot of people seem to be missing: on Pixar's Drawing Tool · · Score: 1

    Keep modding the parent up. He seems to be the only one that really gets it.

  8. Re:Corrections on Programmer Claims he was Paid to Rig Votes · · Score: 1

    Wow! Irrefutable proof that the Iraqi military hated the U.S.

    And this is interesting because...?

  9. Re:Corrections on Programmer Claims he was Paid to Rig Votes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    War deaths - deaths in a volunteer military, fighting for our freedom and security.

    Damn straight. Just think of how many lives would have been saved if we had invaded Iraq before 9/11 and taken Saddam out. Oh, wait a second...that would be zero.

    Feel more secure yet?

  10. Re:So... on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    Nah. They just realize that animation doesn't begin and end with a computer, even when making CGI shows. Ironic that Disney doesn't.

  11. Re:Stop Disney on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    After the success of Toy Story, Disney and Pixar renegotiated the original contract.

  12. Re:So... on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    No. Disney has dismantled the 2D production system and sold off the animation desks. It's gone. Speculation is that Eisner did that to spite Roy but who knows. It sure does answer the question, "Why?"

  13. Re:Good Idea on Spitzer Takes On Record Industry Payola · · Score: 1

    It wasn't that long ago that people said the same thing about the seventies. Don't worry, eighties retro coolness isn't that far off.

  14. Re:Wow on FCC Insists Feds Should Regulate VoIP · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's this, the second coming of Christ or something?

    I guarantee you that Michael Powell is not the second coming of Christ.

  15. Re:This stuff is EXPECTED on Probe Crash Due to Misdesigned Deceleration Sensor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is the NASA equivalent of accidentally filling your car with diesel instead of gasoline.

    I did that to a tractor once. Hey, nobody told me it was the one gas-powered tractor on the farm.

  16. Re:Cost of Training? on Moving to the Linux Business Desktop · · Score: 1

    These are people who would rather be fishing or watching the soaps, secretly despise having to work at all in an office, dream of winning the lottery...

    Does this not describe anybody here (I assume I can substitute any non-office-related recreational activity for "fishing")?

  17. Re:Shades of Apple from the 80s... on Virgin's New iPod Rival · · Score: 1

    and their "our way or the highway" mentality. Apple could be screwing themselves in the long run for some short term profitability.

    If Apple finds themselves losing ground, it's easy enough to license FairPlay when that becomes necessary. It's not necessary right now so why do it?

  18. Library? on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All those rooms and no library. Where am I supposed to put all my books (lots and growing)? My CDs (all 1500 and growing)? My DVDs (also growing)? I want a room I can store them in and be able to read, too.

  19. Re:Am I the only one reading this thinking... on RNC Outsourced Voter Database to India · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and in other news, no country announced that it now has nuclear weapons today. When asked for comment, a Bush spokesperson claimed, "The President's policy of neglecting non-Iraqi nations has, for yet another day, made the world a safer place." The Kerry camp, when contacted for comment, responded with "North Korea? Hello?"

  20. Re:about everything and for everyone... on Tim Berners-Lee and the Semantic Web · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Russia, the Semantic Web categorizes you?

  21. Re:Is there any way... on Zombie Networks On The Rise · · Score: 1

    You misspelled "luser".

  22. Re:Stupid solution. We HAD a working system on Republican Senators May 'Go Nuclear' · · Score: 1

    The current system used to work until it was abused by the Democrats who are using parlimentary tricks to thwart the process as designed. By denial they in effect become the ones in control. How ridiculous?

    This is a joke, right? Where were you when Senate Republicans blocked 22 of President Clinton's nominees from even coming up for a committe vote? Gimme a break.

  23. Re:brownshirt on Nader Off Virginia Ballot · · Score: 1

    I don't think you're replying to who you think you're replying to.

    He was a war hero before he was an anti-war hero before deciding that being a war hero would help him get elected.

    You can be both. Dubya is nothing...I mean "neither".

    ... but by U.S. standards he is, in fact, a socialist.

    Your opinion is not a fact. Do not presume to speak for the U.S., thank you.

    "Repealing Tax Cuts" == "Raising Taxes".

    That's just like "Not pressing Congress to continue the assault weapons ban" == "Being in favor of letting it lapse despite statements to the contrary". Flippity flooppity doublespeak, anyone?

    Ah, I remember being an arrogant, know-it-all, idiotic 17-year-old. Enjoy it.
