  1. Re:tax writeoff on Is Leasing Really Worth It? · · Score: 1

    Makes you wonder about that company if they have structured their balance sheet explicitly to deal with lawsuits!

    These days you would be insane not to. There are a thousand small things you need to do every day to stay completly lawsuit free, and missing any one one of these could bankrupt your company. Look up an asshat named Jarek Molski and the long list of local business's he has destroyed with drive by lawsuits.

  2. Re:Use the adblock extension! on Firefox Improves Pop-Up Ad Blocking · · Score: -1

    I use fire fox, but not adblock, because I am willing to support the sites I visit by viewing some of the ads. (blink or flash just once and your image server is on my shit list). I use the flashclick extension to be able to watch the tiny minority of good flash uses, while avoiding all the shit.
    On the other hand... if the popups start showing up I will install adblock.

  3. Re:Whats the rest of the story? on Spammers Sue Spam Victim For $4 Million · · Score: 1

    however the ratio of ($lawyer!=$Evil)/($Lawyer==$Evil) 1 to a degree that aproaches 0. At this point the upper half of this ratio is so small that if $net_good= -dead($lawyer!=$Evil)+dead($Lawyer==$Evil)~=dead($ Lawyer==$Evil)
    So I say kill em all and let god sort em out.

    I left a job where we had lockers and as I left one can of tuna went in a locker, and one can of tuna went under the locker, I understood that they found one can after a week, but it took a another month to find the other one

  5. to be honest on FCC to Fine Curses More Than Nuke Violations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Playboy has articles written by some fantastic writers, and of course fantastic naked women. I have oftenthought that Playboy should market a second magazine with the same articles, but without the distracting images, that make reading it in public something of an impossibility these days.

  6. Re:Does too matter on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 1

    This make me want to print up a pin that says "Ask me about Jury nullification" to my next jury duty. (in may after my current student deferment is up)

  7. Re:The 4-step "Who cares, TV sucks" program on Preparing for the Broadcast Flag? · · Score: 2, Informative

    As did i the amount of time that was added to my life has alowed me to post slightly more often on slashdot, learn multivariable calculus, do work on a computer animated movie, and most interestingly I feel less compelled to buy shit at the mall.

  8. Re:an important issue on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 1

    California has a similar system. You can be given either a perminat (licence plate for your car) or a temporary window hanger. The fines for abusing the system are large and for the most part things work ok, the problem comes in when these are issued to people who don't need them. Like this lady at work, she had foot surgery 6 months ago, and has the window hanger. She has a retail sales job where she stands all day, disabled parking is clearly not apropriate, but she still parks in the blue space next to the store.

  9. I don't know about antlers on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    I don't know about antlers, but I have aways thought I would look fetching with a nice pair of rams horns.

  10. Re:Original? on Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year · · Score: 1

    * Happiness factor = (days of leave) / (days until leave)
    * Gas factor = 1 / (Happiness factor)
    So if I unerstand this properly if your mom dies and you go on emergancy leave and burn leave you don't have, giving you negitive leave... you would have a negitive gas factor? would this allow you to eat unlimited Taco Bell bean burritos without your roommates killing you? would you absorb some of their gas?

  11. modern helocopters` on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1

    Modern helicopters (designed after 1970) generaly have the Jesus nut safely buried inside the center of the roterhead. The Apache of which I have very strong knowledge has its nut deep inside the rotor head, no small arms fire could possibly hit it and even if it could the bolt is close to an inch thick.

  12. Re:Ask the fat guy... on Sleep Less, Eat More? · · Score: 1

    I am a skinny guy who can't sleep for shit. no matter what position I am in there is some bone creating a pressure point on my mattress making me uncomfortable. If I lay on my back I need a very thin pillow for my head If I lay on my side I need two thick pillows just to keep my neck comfortable. I have a perpetual kink in my neck. also it very uncomfortable for me to have my knees touch each other.
    but once I fall asleep I am down for a good 9 hours.

  13. Re:Wow..Rights for sale... on Software Firms Lobby for Stronger Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    I don't think corporations which already have too much power should be able to pool their resources. If Bill gates wants to be a member of the BSA thats fine but microsoft is right out.

    fun one are lead, polish and read. I am sure there are a ton more.

  15. Re:Oh Man. on RFID Cards to Include Tin Foil Hats? · · Score: 2, Funny

    wrong, the Tin foil has all but been eliminated on the mass market because it was effective in stopping the mind control satilites, and has been replaced by aluminium which *_actualy_increases_* brain sensitivity to the radiation released by the age mind control satilites and the newer mind control beams found on stoplights.

  20. while it does suck on Do-Not-Call List Could Be Opened For Phone Spam · · Score: 1

    IT sucks that we are cruel to tele-monkeys, however causing the massive turnover costs managment extra money in both recruiting and training, as well as jacking up the pay for this job. So I say send the pain and be as mean as possible.

  21. Re:Every 6 years on When Is A Good Time To Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    I have a box I use almost every day that uses win95 with the 98 "upgrade" that isn't really win98. It runs firefox, and the mozilla mail client. It also boots faster than my XP machine. It also does a fine job with office 2000, which works fine for me. I see no reason to ugrade to a better box when this old PII 333 still chugs along just fine.

  23. Re:Sacrifice Chicken on Spyware/Adware Prevention In Large Deployments? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have found for most industrial/office application the chicken can be substituted with gas station fried chicken giblets. It is crucial they come from a gas station and not some repudable source for food. The source where you can find the best are along interstate highways in the rural south.
    The optimum cerimony changes involve using the grease form the paper bag in leu of the standard chicken blood and doing all requisit latin chanting with a strong nasal drawl
