  1. I Hereby Invoke on Da Vinci Project Postpones X-Prize Attempt · · Score: -1
    Godwin's Law!

    (Yeah, yeah, I know the corollary.)

  2. Re:These aren't midrange cards! on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: -1

    It's called progress, you luddite. I still use a lower-range (by gamer standards) video card, on which I'm afraid to even attempt DoomIII, on the grounds that it'd explode or report me for Spousal Abuse (sad, sad anthropomorphication, really). You can play games on a 32MB card that were made at the time 32MB cards were midrange. Graphics quality improves; it's unreasonable to expect anything less. Stick to Nethack (not a bad option) if you can't afford or don't want to keep up. Stop complaining that the local HMV doesn't stock an obscure Nepalese Midget Flute album.

  3. Re:Buyer's remorse on Is That Pirated Software? · · Score: 0, Insightful
    Every time XP shows the blue screen of death, I get buyer's remorse.

    Not a huge MS fan, though I do pirate their software. And I'm going to have to call you out as full of shit, here: XP does not BSOD, and if it does, I've never seen it in over 2 years of use, even on my family's shitware-ridden-barely-runs installations. Neither did 2000. I haven't seen a BSoD since ME. Also since then, it's been relatively (almost absolutely) stable, and even on the small handful of times I have seen it crash (usually the result of accidentally running 2+ high end games at once, with BT, Kazaa and Winamp with high-res viz in the background), it just locks up or shuts down, but doesn't BSoD.

    Not to berate you for not using Windows, which is admirable, but you have no idea what you're talking about, and are blatantly lying, as is readily clear to anyone who has used an MS OS in the last 4 years.

  4. If you have a legitimate copy of Windows... on Is That Pirated Software? · · Score: -1, Funny
    ...raise your hand.

    I thought so.

  6. Re:Microsoft should give up on IE on Flaw in Microsoft JPEG Parsing · · Score: -1

    Your comment brought me to a horrible revelation: I would trust Microsoft before Diebold. American democracy's fucked. /Canadian; sorry, Linus, your boys just 'aint good enough

  7. Genesis allowed is no on Genesis: Data in good condition · · Score: -1

    Is planet forbidden.

  8. Re:And people wonder... on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: -1

    FYI: Righteous indignation is not attractive. And: Uterus?!

  9. Re:Or they just don't like existing discrimination on MIT Names First Female President · · Score: -1

    That has less to do with inherent gender-based discrimination than it has with anyone who even considers Marketing being fucktard cockmongrels.

  10. Re:How long on Turbine Starts The Spin For Middle-Earth Online · · Score: -1
    (instead of everyday boring people you see elves/dwarves/etc, instead of buses you see large lumbering Oliphants, etc)

    Without joking or trolling, I think you'd really like LSD.

  12. Re:Of course not! on Writing Software for Worldwide Distribution Proves Difficult · · Score: -1

    It's still all good

  13. Re:Environmental effects on Cooling Toronto Using Lake Ontario · · Score: -1

    No environmental effects that haven't already been caused by pollution. Any of those cooling pipes burst and you'll never get the smell out of the carpet.

  14. Screw the ideal of private human spaceflight on Canadian Arrow Completes Drop Test · · Score: -1

    I just wanna go Spacediving.

  15. In Munich, there is municipal Linux on Munich to Go Ahead with Linux After All · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm gonna have to go spelling nazi on you, and point out it's 'frist psot'

  23. As Much As I Agree on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 0, Troll

    With his positions and enjoy his movies, the man's a troll, plain and simple. He won not because of his movie, but because of his message. The festival is supposed to be about art, but now its been perverted into politics.

  24. Hipster Geeks Bitching on Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form · · Score: 1

    About having good hygiene and sex appeal in 3... 2... 1...

  25. Well, according to that on Calculate When You Are Most Awake · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm supposed to be wide awake, right now. So I guess that's why I had to read each question a dozen times before I gave up on ever being able processing a complete sentance again, and clicked on the first number I could recognize (after vainly trying to remember how a drop box works).
