  1. Re:Great, but isn't it a CANADIAN Trademark? on Red Hat Founder Offers Help in Apple vs.Tiger Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but y'know Roughriders and Rough Riders are two totally different names....um...

    The Ottawa Rough Riders were originally known as The Ottawa Football Club in 1876, then changed their name to the Rough Riders in 1898. The team folded in 1996, and the city now has a new team called the Renegades.

    The Saskatchewan Roughriders, began as the Regina Rugby Club in 1910, and changed their name to the Regina Roughriders in 1923. When they joined the CFL, in 1948, they changed their name to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

    They alienate us so much... I get so frustrated it makes me want to go club a baby seal.

  3. Re:What's the point ? on The Matrix Trailers, Reloaded and Re-Encoded · · Score: 1

    The Matrix is like so November 2003...

    Anyways, who wants to see a trailer of the most disappointing movie sequels of 2003? If I wanted to commit suicide, why wouldn't I just go and watch SW eps 1 & 2 again (obviously except for Yoda's fight seen, which was cool and exciting :)

  4. Re:Cringely is a fraud on E-Voting: a Flawed Solution in Search of a Problem · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This still doesn't mean that voter fraud can't happen. Take the Quebec Referendum, where the "scruteneers" threw out as many "No" votes as they could if they didn't meet certain criteria

    - A mark outside the circle, even if incidental.

    - Not a perfect check mark, dash, or X

    While a "Oui" vote written with a swaztika would be just fine.

  5. Re:In Other News... on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 0

    yeah I wouldn't have corrected nieve, but I would've asked for an explanation for bonseur 'cuz it is a word that doesn't exist (if it doesn't exist, then is it a word at all, or just a jumble of letters?) and is pronounced differently...

    whatever. blah...(yes I started it, the nit-picker I am)

  6. Re:In Other News... on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 0

    In much the same way that "bonseur" means hello in french, to a nieve English speaking person
    I think you mean "bonjour", not bonseur and it is "naive", not nieve...

    Well duh... From a group of Libyan nationalists of course.

  11. Amazon Women on the Moon on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Amazon Women on the moon!!! I flipped when I saw this one. Best Scene is when the doctor loses the baby in hospital, then pretends his hand is the kid, and tries to get the mom to breast feed it!!

    I guess Neil Armstrong and his crew were no match for these chicks, 'cuz NASA stopped sending people there!!

  12. Re:Best Game on NES PC · · Score: 1

    Oh yes Decathalon... I remember playing it on my uncles PC and getting yelled at for almost breaking his keyboard everytime I played it.

  13. More Time for FOX specials!!! on Firefly Likely to be Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Hey who needs to watch any remotely interesting shows like Firefly?

    FOX won't stop until it's all:
    - When Animals attack small children
    - Funniest Holiday Moments
    - Funniest Outtakes of shows I never watch and/or do not like

    Mone means one. And rail means rail. And that concludes our intensive three-month training session.
