  1. You had me until, on Windows Vista - Not So Bad? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Tucows is a company I will never recommend or use to host any of my domains.
    Caving in to a spammer/hacker retaliation will not garner much support.

  6. The Fox counting the chickens on Symantec Rethinks Firefox vs IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I am seeing more and more of this crap!

    Who in their right mind let the fox count the chickens?

    You know the Fox by nature will always be holding a few chickens behind his back.

    I even see this in major corporate contracts.

    The Fox is in charge of the chicken coop, supplies the feed and builds the fences,

    but the contractor is held responsible for the number of chickens.

    Fuckin idiots put their own nuts in a vise when they signed the contract!

    And then they have the nerve to pay me pennies on the dollar to make their mess work.

    Bye Bye I'll left them to die a slow and ugly death on their own razor.

    So used to being told what to do, they are unable to think for themselves.

    The only time free thinking comes into play is when there is competition or when one is trying to achieve something.

    The rest of the time the herd mentality rules the moment......

  11. Re:Too much hype on Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive · · Score: 0, Troll

    Here! Here! I don't need some marketing dickhead ramming the latest and greatest web browser down my throat. I started using Firefox when I heard it was good and the pain of IE became more than I could bear. I continued to use Firefox when I switched to a MAC til the pain of the way it worked became too great. I believe the memory problems exist on the MAC platform as well. I switched to Safari after I augmented the RAM on the MAC as it was way slow until that point. I now only fire up Firefox when I wish to browse a website that Safari does not render properly. For some reason it doesn't handle Java? pulldown menus properly and probably the same issue does not work on my bank site.

    I don't need the latest version, until the memory problem has been addressed, I won't even bother to download or RECOMMEND it. I guess the marketing dickheads don't care about these importand issues or don't leave their box on long enough to experience the problems.

    So FireFox will continue to remain my backup browser. Why can things just work? Hey! Dickhead! Spend the cash on making it work the marketing end will take care of itself. Oh! I See! But then since you are not needed you will have to go back to selling used cars.......

  17. Accountability? on Kutztown Students get Felony Charges · · Score: 1

    Accountability is fine, but why is it always one way?
    I am accountable for my actions, but rarely do I ever see one of the privledged few held accountable. Mostly they are called visionaries after bilking their stock holders.

    Accountability has to come from the TOP DOWN!
    Accountability from the bottom up, is not accountability. It is just one more lie foisted on all the little batteries that keep the big machine running.....

    Why the fuck would these kids respect any authority when our country's leaders stand in front of us and dispense complete fabrications are not held accountable. When theses same leaders mis-manage our tax funds they are given awards for their humanitarian efforts.

    These children are our future and they are being taught that it is ok for the president to lie, it is ok for a CEO to bilk his stock holders (remember when stocks paid dividends?), it is ok for a government official to hire his brother in law for a lucretive public contract, yet they themselves are not allowed to explore the capabilities of an electronic device? Gee I wonder why they have no respect?

    Remember it comes from the TOP DOWN, not the bottom up. From the bottom up it is only a caste system in disguise.

    Bring back Western Justice! Public Stoneing! Stocks! would be a good place to start. http://www.villagenet.co.uk/reference/stocks.html

  19. Re:Working harder - Downsizing shmownsizing! on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 1

    American workers are working harder and getting paid less because of the overtime. Anyone who is unwilling to put in the overtime is not considered a team player and laid off. Is another worker hired? NO! That workers duties are given to the remaining workers, who are now more in fear for the security of their position, and are willing to accept the added duties because of this duress. Downsizing shmownsizing! there has been no downturn of the economy, sure there was an enevitable adjustment in stock market values but that is true of any ponzai/pyramid scheme! This is what the stock market has been reduced to, since dividends are no longer paid, it's just a shell game. Corporate America has captolized on the "adjustment" and created an environment where the worker is willing to work harder for less in order to keep his job. What I fear is that a point of diminishing returns is going to change the face of the economy, as we see happening now with the shift overseas. This falls right into the hands of the Asian culture, who have lived in a militant, overcrowded, caste society for many many years. Consumate ass kissers, with the patience to see the long term goal and forgo the short term cost to the family, the environment, the soul, and the quarterly bottom line to preserve and expand the family holdings. The price they pay for failure is to fall on their sword. Instead of Hari-Kari, an American corporate officer who shits on his brain pool, hard workers, and stock holders and created a stort term gain, but has slowly strangled his company's economic future, is rewarded with a fully inflated golden parachute and considered a visionary when he sells the company for a record profit. To compund this blow to the American economy the company that purchases the over-valued company rapes and strips the purchase leaving all but the key components in the dust bin and moves more overseas as it tightens it's reins to adjust for the cost of the purchase. History repeats itself, we all know what happens to an entity who winds up relying too heavily on another entity. The puppeteer becomes the puppet and when the shoe is on the other foot where does that leave the American worker? He has not made enough from his labors to build a moat around his castle, so he is cast out as a slave to whatever means of existance remains. So go ahead and chain your wagon to that horse, but what are YOU going to do when the wagon master has eaten the last carrot and asks you for more cause the horses won't move without a carrot?
    I'm not going to give the wagonmaster any more carrots, (cause he keeps eating them instead of using them to keep the team moving) I'm going to put a bullet in his head! That is the way this country was built! What happened to Tarring and Feathering? What happened to accountability? What happened to respect, honor, and loyalty? The poloticians, banks and lawyers have stripped us of those values and made us slaves to their bidding with the promise of "liberty and justice for all" {gee I kinda got off on a tangent there, I think I'll stop now}{note to self - check med levels....)
