    So what?

    If I replace the roofing on the White House, which is also an importanyt place, and they came behind me and drilled foot-wide holes through the roof, is it my fault that the roof leaks through those holes?

    So, you're claiming that the poor are genetically inferior to normal people, they cannot possibly get past the 6th grade, and dealing with technology is far beyond their capabilities. I call BS.

    In some areas of New Orleans, more than 80% were on some sort of welfare. Why should they bother bettering themselves, when they could just sit around watching TV, and making more money doing that than they could possibly get by exerting themselves? Note that even this many years after the storm, very few have bothered to try to rebuild anything themselves, and are still waiting for the government to do something. Their senator used the core to rescue his fridge full of money, instead of letting them help the stranded people. The enviornment was full of bad examples.

    Many of the families forced out by Katrina never plan on returning, because they have found a better life away from the social conditions they were stuck in. They have found jobs, got off welfare, and are happier, more productive individuals. All they needed was a big kick in the pants to start the change.

    It's more like, you were given money to repair your roof, but you spent it on birdbaths and hookers. After your house collapses due to rain damage, you blaim the person who gave you the money.

    If Microsoft spent as much time on their own software, as they do trying to belittle others, then they might be able to fix some of the gaping holes in Windows. But, I guess it's better politics to throw mud, than to clean up your own messes.

    Remember the movie "war games"?

    Nobody is going to confuse a game with the controls for a nuclear arsonal, and using a 300 baud modem to transmit real-time video footage again, are they?

    It's safe to say that Brocko has already given the plans to China, given the info that his previous party affiliate passed on to them. You wouldn't want a war between US and China to be unfair, would you?

    Good idea for a scientific study. Is tin foil more or less effective than aluminum for hats to protect us from those mind control satellites? I'll bet the feds won't approve that, since it's their satellites were we're trying to protect ourselves from.

    What about the teletype sounds while things are being displayed on a CRT? You must have left those in. How can we tell that it's a computer display without the teletype sounds? I'm always confused using my PC because it refuses to make those necessary sounds. I always suspect that there's just a midget hiding in that little box.

    No, the real answer is to turn all humans into batteries. We'll hook them into this virtual reality machine, while sucking out all the energy they produce. Just don't let them get hold of the red or blue pills, or they'll start jumping across buildings.

  25. Re:What do you expect? on Software Piracy At the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Use the whole of the RIAA's rules.

    When you build a house, the people who live in it don't own it, they only have a right to use it. They may not allow anyone else to use it, so no friends coming over for a party. No pictures containing any portion of the house may be shown to friends/family. They are not allowed to sell it, since they don't own it. Any people driving past you house that accidently see it, must pay a fee to the realtor.

    As for paying you to build it, you'll have to wait to get your cut from the realtor after he takes his percentage, advertising, packaging, etc. Don't wory, the $2.00 you make on each house is all yours, after taxes, union dues, manditory donations, etc.
