  1. CowboyNeal is too fat for these boots on Rechargeable Boots · · Score: -1


    The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about boots that generate power, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!

    You people disgust me!

    The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred last month, and now we're involved in a WAR and you people have the gall to be discussing boots that generate power???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

    Well, if my main source of news was French TV or an Itlian website, and their country was being attacked by terrorists, with tens of thousands dead in one day, I think I would fucking expect their news to be dominated by it, and not fucking compain and whine about not getting enough tech news like a little kid.

    When will you fucks realize that computers are not everything.

  5. I agree, but... on Maxtor's ATA-133 Does 160GB · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I admit, it *is* hard to sit here and read about developments in the magnetic storage field. A few states away crews are digging through dust and steel trying to uncover survivors trapped in the ruins of what was a bustling office metroplex. The majority of what they find is severed and burned body parts.

    Something inside me is saying it is ethically wrong to be reading about how I might get a few more GB's on my next hard drive. Thousands of families are praying that they will see their husbands, wifes, mothers and fathers again, alive.

    Let's show a little respect and not become some cavalier about the whole situation that less than 24 hours later we are back to the status quo. We may not have been personally effected, but this is a slap in the face to all the families that were.

    If your dad were buried in the rubble right now, or part of the burning wreckage at the pentagon, wouldn't you be insulted by this?

    What if ; and believe you me, this is a HY-PO-THETICAL. What if we were to offering you some sort of profit sharing plan? Would that do anything for you?

  7. Hello, editors? on Microsoft HomeStation - Son Of XBox Revealed · · Score: 0

    The moderators here are fucking jerk offs. You have a 3rd post on the topic, and yet got modded as "redundant". How fucking pathetic can the cum catchers that moderate this place get.

    Moderators -- fuck your souls.

  11. Well... on First and Last Issue of Infinite Matrix · · Score: 0, Troll

    If the first issue is any indication of what the authors consider "excellent ideas", it's probably a good thing they lost funding. None of the articles in issue one are even remotely interesting.

  12. Are the editors sentient? on Controversial Cosmologist Fred Hoyle Dies At 86 · · Score: 0

    The title of the article describes Hoyles as a "Big Bang Theorist", then the body says he was an opponent of the theory.

    Dumb.

  13. Re:Why look? on Planetary System Similar to Sol Discovered · · Score: 1

    Which is probably exactly what the other forms of intelligent life out there are saying right now, to justify not looking for us.

  16. Re:Price of HDTV on The Joys of HDTV · · Score: 1

    I got a 43" Hitachi 4:3 HDTV for $1700. These people like to make up sensational prices. And only an idiot like the one who wrote the article would spend $5000 before fully researching the technology and what he would be able to do with the tv.

    The stupidest part is at the end when he says "its like watching dvd quality all the time". Wrong. HDTV is much higher quality than DVD, even if you have a 420i progressive scan DVD player. Im sick of people spreading stupid false claims.

    Yea, like the other guy said, the frying process done in the restaurant sometimes makes the chicken so juicy that the breading part becomes 'detached'.

    If you squeeze one end of the chicken hard, it will shoot out the other end of the breading. I worked at BK about 7 years ago and this used to happen pretty regularly.

    I just picked it up of the floor and put it on the bread. Hope this helps you start enjoying delicious BK food again.

  19. Re:Home Theater on Sandia's 20-Million-Pixel, 130-Square-Foot Screen · · Score: 1

    It would be a waste to use something like this for home theatre. Even the high quality progressive scan DVD players max out somewhere around 720Ni.

  21. Don't believe everything you read on NASA Sends One Up; DoD Shoots One Down · · Score: 2

    Star Wars missile defense system, which will protect us from all those ballistic missiles that foreign nations don't have and would be silly to use...

    Just because a countries political "leaders" claim they do not have any nuclear warheads or ICMB's does not mean that we should stop taking precautions to prevent attacks. If that logic was used to defend our nation we would be in serious trouble.

    What you see on the nightly news is rarely the truth. Of course a nation like Russia may claim they possess no nuclear weapons. It makes them look PC, and makes us look like the 'bad guys' for building anti-nuclear weapons.

    Defenses are useless if you wait until you have visual proof that a nation has ICBM's. By then it's way too late. Like the old saying.. Better Safe Than Sorry. In this case, the defenses can be proactive. If we make it known to other nations that we are prepared for a possible nuclear attack, it leads them to be less likely to attempt on. Whereas if we were publicly announcing we did not see the need for the defense, we would become an obvious target.

  22. Passing the buck on Last Month for Free MAPS · · Score: 3

    If MAPS makes ISP's pay to use their services, those costs could simply be passed on to the "willing" consumers.

    I would be willing to pay $24.99 instead of $19.99 if the ISP could guarantee that I wouldn't get a bunch of crapflood spammers hammering my Inbox everyday.

    On the other hand, I can see ISP's dropping MAPS altogether, since the average uninterested Joe Netizen generally shops for the cheapest monthly ISP rate instead of looking at QOS.
