  1. Re:Is the DOJ now M$'s lackey? on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1

    Glad to see someone that owns the stock has a conscience.

  2. Is the DOJ now M$'s lackey? on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1

    You would think so from the nonsense and rhetoric they are spouting off here.
    I though the DOJ was a bunch of pansies when they backed down on Microsquash's penalties, now I see they must be stockholders.

    Abuse me once, shame on you. Abuse me twice, I must be a investor.

  3. Down with the U.S. Goverment... on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

  5. sweet spot on Changing Jobs for Job Satisfaction? · · Score: 1

    Most people in this thread have expressed the sentiment that a change can be good in a persons' life. I am an example. I retrained after getting a degree in Marketing. It took two years of hunting and some unemployment (plus a stint as tech support, ugh) to get my current position.

    The payoff is in an easier commute, better working environment, doing what I love and even a little more.

    Now if I could just translate this into that $100 an hour work for myself gig, then the world would be perfect.

  6. Lazy and trifling on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Couldn't SCO just, uh, WORK instead of playing the lifetime stoner child that won't leave home?

  7. Is this... on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 0, Troll

  8. John Q. Public on More Online Publishers Inching Toward Paid Content · · Score: 1

    All my coworkers in the office are remiss of the fact that the Washington Post is requiring an enama to see their online content.

    While I understand the online business model and the Internet's draw, I can't seem to reconcile with changes to sites that require reg or other hoops now. We'll see the outcome, but a bunch of people are like me, too used to the free model to change.

    Sad because the talent is lost on childish pranks such as this. Hilarious because it's happening to SCO. The market has spoken!

  11. Keep it up on Joel Rants About Resumes · · Score: 1

    All those that are buying the "Greatest Cover letters" books and dumping that trash out there, keep it up. This can only make people, (like me), who do spend time on the Cover letter look better.

    Not looking right now, but I swear that way this craptacular economy is being run, I'm sure it's not going to be far off.

  12. Disorder or not, Go with what works on Neural Feedback Training as Therapy for ADHD? · · Score: 1

    All those who purport that ADD/ADHD are flamers looking to have their 1/2 second of fame here. That being said, I am a 31 yr old male who was continuously having issues throughout life. Always in trouble at school, not able to concentrate. Since I was 4, I have heard the standard, "He's so intelligent, if he could just focus his energy." Last year, after losing my job and during a seriously introspective period, I sought medical help. I am now on Strattera and have found that the impulsiveness, inability to stay focused and other problmes that have plagued me for all of life are gone. If you are able to try Strattera for your daughter, she might have success like I have.

  13. Screw them on MPAA School Propaganda Program Examined · · Score: 1

    ...and all the Corporate Plutocrats in the MPAA and the RIAA. Whoever said this is an idealogical battel, you hit the nail on the head.

    "UH, yeah Bill. Someone did create a way for interoperability among OS's. It's called Java. Remember Bill....? /sarcasm

  15. Please read on Microsoft Dislikes Nations Trying to Escape Lock-in · · Score: 1

    The facts are that they are not MAKING a new OS, they have created a strategy to ENCOURAGE the use of open-source alternatives.

    All Microsoft is doing is ramping up the PR machine, and they'll have the Asian office send a memo to the government.

    They're still screwing me on the bill for my DSL. $39.95 my ass!

  17. Re:We are now living with the 21st century equivel on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    Well Assmonkey, since name calling is your best skill, do you think your vote really made the difference?

    The money is what gets the votes. Take for example the fact that Bill Clinton and the DNC received the most money in his 1994 reelection campaign from the telecommunications industry. Then shortly thereafter, the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that scuttled most oversight of the industry. Coincidence? You just keep muttering that to yourself when you stand in that voting booth next time.

  20. NOW will you turn off that TV?!!?! on Disney Wins, Eldred (and everyone else) Loses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have turned off my cable to protest crappy programming and higher rates. Do you have the BALLS to do the same to protest the corporate takeover of this country?!

    I steal music and continue to do so to recover the money that the RIAA membership STOLE from me. Do you do any form of disobediance in your life?

    Until you stop going to the 5th regurgitation of "Dude Where's my Car?", and the umpteenth Rocky movie, the crap will continue. Consumers have the power, but are such ignorant sheep, that the popular opinion is controlled by the media propoganda of the day. Do 56% of this country really think Shrubya is doing a good job? I don't believe it for a minute.

    Are you tired of having the news portray "Joe Millionaire" as more important than the story of a abused child, or failed dipolmacy by our government?

  21. Stockpile on Transmeta to Incorporate DRM in TM5800 Processor · · Score: 1

    I plan on buying the last Mobos that don't incorporate this corporate control crap, maybe 5 or 6. Then I'll build the super machines, and use them like it's the last tissue in the box.

    I would suggest you either do the same, or place your order with me. It's the bunker mentality, but I don't plan on buying any of this shit in the future. We'll see who has the power when consumers get tired of being corralled and pushed around!

  22. First, before you run ... on Microsoft Shows Off Watch, Portable Media Player · · Score: 1

    M$ should learn how to walk. I mean seriously, they can make this watch, but they can't make a Pocket PC run stable, or fit into a POCKET!

    for a POS car! IF these asshats even gave a crap about the consumer, they wouldn't be bitching about how we hate the ads they try and ram down our throat.

    I refuse to pay for cable. I don't steal it, I just don't watch TV anymore. I am a consumer, and I have chosen to abandon this medium until they get a f*cking clue and stop with all the boilerplate ads and lousy programming.
