  1. "facts"... You keep using that word; I don't think it means what you think it means.

    Center for Immigration Studies

    Founded in 1985 by John Tanton, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has gone on to become the go-to think tank for the anti-immigrant movement with its reports and staffers often cited by media and anti-immigrant politicians. CISâ(TM)s much-touted tagline is âoelow immigration, pro-immigrant,â but the organization has a decades-long history of circulating racist writers, while also associating with white nationalists.

    I'd believe you if that same bullshit partisan tripe you just spouted applied to Al Franken. Unfortunately, it didn't, and you're a fraud, explicitly because of that.

    Fuck the GOP, and every one of their spineless, misogynistic apologists.

    If you had posted that comment in Iran, the inherent spin would have enriched tons of uranium, and you would have broken the latest nuclear agreement.

  5. Any way to use it without the MSN service, then? on Microsoft Says Goodbye To WebTV/MSN TV · · Score: 1

    It would be cool of MSFT to at least issue a firmware update that would let users choose their own homepage, and bypass the paid service, which is going away, of course; at least with the MSNTV2, it's a 733MHz Celeron, which should be able to handle rendering of most mobile sites, at least... there are lots of people who will be utterly lost without this service (my brother being one of them). I just bought one of the Google TV units to see if it will be a suitable replacement.

  7. How about using clawbacks on Darl and co.? on SCO Group Files For Chapter 7 · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the US Trustee could get lots of money for the cardboard box Darl Mc Bride was living in, under one of the Interstate 15 overpasses in Lindon, UT, after he lost his McMansion to foreclosure... because he wasn't as smart as Ralph Yarro, who transferred ownership of his house to his wife...

    We all knew it was going to end like this, didn't we?

    Here's a hearty FUCK YOU to everyone who concocted up this scam, and to everyone who helped promote it - from Brian Skiba, to Microsoft (for funding the scam in the first place), to Rob Enderle, to Dan Lyons, to Maureen O' Gara, to Ryan Tibbets, to Ralph Yarro, and all the other scumbags who tried to extort money for something that they didn't deserve, or even own. Fuck you all, in the ear.

    You should present this testable, repeatable, quantifiable, verifiable, and falsifiable evidence of your particular god for your certain Nobel Prize, sir.

    Go ahead, I'll wait.

    So, you're saying that I lied? Where? Did I say *all* theists?

    No, I didn't.

    I read /. at 4 - I didn't see any other posts saying what I said. There's plenty of evidence that what I said is true - therefore, not clueless.

    Do you or any of your christian friends vote GOP? If so, you're actively supporting politicians like Santorum, Perry, Palin, Bachmann, and other like-minded Talibangelicals who want to turn our secular nation into a christian theocracy. That's not an opinion - it's a demonstrable fact.

    Also, if you don't think christians deny global warming, try reading this link - if nothing else, it clearly shows this particular group of young Earth creationists are clinically insane;

    http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v3/n4/global-warming

    As for the truth, you wouldn't know it if it smacked you upside the head with a Greenpeace sign.

    Lastly, how do psychotic apparitions to delusional people count as evidence of anything besides mental illness? Oh, and once again, you deliberately lie about what I said, yet again - I said there never been any fact-based, empirical evidence of any of the thousands of deities mankind has kowtowed themselves to over the millenia; your personal anecdotes, while quaint, do not meet the criteria. I've only stated the truth again - I've never asserted anything but that simple fact.

    Science requires evidence - faith denies evidence. I pity anyone denying reason, logic, and reality - like yourself.

    ...of theists who actively deny science (evolution, global warming, complete lack of evidence of their favorite deity, etc.), yet they still get to use the fruits of all the technology derived from it.

    I cringed when those ExxonMobil commercials came on during the Masters telecast... I mean, seriously - in a science test out of 31 countries, we came in 17th place?!?

    I suppose Rick Santorum might think even that's too high; what else should you expect in a place where the intellectual bankruptcy of "intelligent" design is given equal weight in the classroom with evidence-based science?

    Back in the day, I used to belong to a forum for a program that allowed you to connect to the privately run Napster servers; the owner of the forum complained that he'd need to start running ads soon, to help him make some money to cover expenses. In theory, I did not object to this, since the web-based "community" that we had was pretty cool, and I enjoyed the interactions there.

          That all stopped when we were subjected to the first ad; a Doritos ad that scrolled up from the bottom of the screen, complete with a very loud, obnoxious sound of a toilet flushing.

    This is the same rent-a-rant tool* that shouted at the top of his lungs on what a great case The SCO Group had against IBM - and who consequently jumped off of the pro-SCO shill bandwagon so fast, he almost broke both ankles, when it became apparent that the whole thing was an extortion scam... it's interesting to me since The SCO Group doesn't really have real products anymore, and the bankruptcy trustee currently in charge has stated that the only thing he finds of value in the company is the litigation they're involved in.

    Dan can't understand something that makes money, that Microsoft didn't invent - world points, laughs. Dan is worse than a has-been... he's a never-was.

    *Not to be confused with another worthless tech "analyst", Rob "Rent-A-Rant" Enderle, who has never met a Microsoft check he didn't like.

Besides, the NFL has hated Minnesota for decades anyway, and I was already resigned to the fact that, even if we had won, Peyton Manning would have carved us up like a huge rack of ribs - so I won't mind all that much seeing him do the same thing to the thugs from the Chocolate City.
