    The god explanation is such a cop out.

    Choices to tie together a rambling, make it up as you go jumble of story bits:

    Sorry, you're part of the other 1.683% that are merely snide, sophomoric, brain-washed, self-destructive, and petty.

  6. Part of the Plan on Want a Science Degree In Creationism? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Once you start shoveling out these bogus degrees, you get a pool of right wing religious nuts with 'credentials' that make them look like reasonable candidates for educational boards or other public offices. You can be sure that they won't provide any detail on where they got the degree in their campaigning, and the voting public will not be interested enough to check themselves.

    I thought it involved leather outfits and a ball gag.

    That *is* the ATT version of tethering, and they charge extra for it.

  10. Re:Or they're terrified on Study Finds the Pious Fight Death Hardest · · Score: 1

    Given the holy terrors most children are, I would have to side with the Church on that one.

    I would guess people of true faith consider carrying on a challenge or test.

  11. Re:Now about that 32GB issue... on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    God forbid you have to listen to the same song twice in 2 months.

    It's nice having most or all of your collection with you for long trips where you don't know what you will be in the mood for in advance. It's also nice for playing stuff for friends who may not have heard some specific song that you have.

    My classic iPod 80GB works fine for this, but even that is running out of space. This is with large chunks of repetitive bootlegs disabled from syncing.

    What I really want is an iTunes feature that allows the main library to use lossless encoding (for streaming to my Apple TV) and automatically maintain AAC shadow copies for syncing to a mobile device like the iPod or iPhone. Right now I have to maintain two complete iTune libraries to accomplish this.

    ...try an introduction of bats

    We have bats in Austin, and still way too many mosquitos.
    The most practical solution I have found is to cower indoors with the AC on playing Call of Duty.

    You have to give the moderators who recognize this quote a little extra time.

    First they need to put their dentures in so they can cackle maniacally.
    Then they select the mod category and forget to push the 'Moderate' button.

  20. Frys Beat Them to It on How Office Depot Pushes Service Plans On Customers · · Score: 1

    Fry's (at least in Austin) has been doing this for a while.
    I got to be on the receiving end of that scam. The sales drone confirmed it was in stock. Someone went to get it as the original drone typed in my info. After I declined the extended warranty, the original drone stops typing, initiates a call, mumbles something into the phone, hangs up, and then informs me that the laptop was out of stock.

    I mean come on, at least make it look more convincing by having the second guy come back and say 'oops I could not find one'.

  25. Re:DVR on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    The problem is Fox does not even follow their own published schedule. A week or two ago I set to record a new Simpsons and instead got Nascar. The Fox plan seems to be: move it around to prevent anyone from seeing it and then don't show it at the scheduled time just in case someone is dedicated enough to try and hunt it down.
