  1. Re:It's standard progression. on Newt Gingrich Says Free Speech May Be Forfeit · · Score: 1

    I don't believe your argument holds water. Inciting people to violence is not protected speech in this country. Newt's ideas about free speech are much more insidious than that.

  2. Re:Fuzzy math on Wii, PS3 Sell Big In First Week · · Score: 1

    If only Sony benefitted from that business model ;)

  3. Perhaps not a conspiracy? on YouTube Removal Highlights Media Self-Censorship · · Score: 1

    Could it be that CNN edited it out because Maher claimed Mehlman was gay with no proof, and they didn't want to hear from lawyers from Mehlman? They wouldn't let one of their reporters speculate like that and it seems to me that it would be irresponsible to let a self-righteous fool like Maher use their airtime to spread rumors like that.

  4. Re:WTF on YouTube Removal Highlights Media Self-Censorship · · Score: 1

    or a Brokeback Mountain West Democrat. ;-)


    Ok, clean out your desk, you're fucking fired.

  5. Re:What's the point? on PS3 Launch Details Announced · · Score: 1

    Personally, I prefer the double to the triple. The single will never fill me up, but the triple is unwieldy to... wield and it tends to fall apart during consumption. The double has enough size to be filling, but the innards of the burger remain inside the bun.

    Who's with me here?

    I still enjoyed your analogy.

    You wouldn't like him when he's angry...

  7. Re:BG's supposed crimes on Paul Allen's Microsoft Experience · · Score: 1

    Sexually abuse children?? I think a more reasonable comparison would be stealing candy from children. You should really read about violent crime before you equate questionable business ethics with child rape. I think Jeff Skilling and Ken Lay would take exception to your characterization of Bill Gates as the devil, what has he done that they haven't?

  8. Re:Using E.Coli as pixels? on Living Photos Use Bacteria as Pixels · · Score: 1

    True. But now I have an excuse not to look at photo albums anymore. The terrible diarrhea.

  9. Re:I thought... on Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million · · Score: 1

    I think we've established from the posts above that he RAPES babies, not eat them.

  10. Re:Only reason MS is backing HD DVD on Blu-Ray Attacks Microsoft, Microsoft Bites Back · · Score: 1

    $400 is cheaper in the long run because if you're buying the $300 version now to save money and plan on adding the hard drive and wireless controller later, you are going to expend $300 for the console, $100 for the hard drive, and $50 for the wireless controller.

  11. Re:Wow on Experimental 4G Phone Service Faster Than Cable · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but you have to live in Utah ;P

  12. Re:Not bad but hardly great on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    Ummm, dude you do realize that Anakin's actions are what killed Padme? She probably would have been fine if he just sat on his hands. That's what's supposed to be tragic about the movie. It's his fault that she's dead, it was always going to be his fault. His thirst for power is what did him in, his concern for his wife was ancillary to the real reason he fell. His vanity, his vengeful nature, and his desire to become "the most powerful Jedi ever" are his downfall.

    That being said, he seemed to accept his fate rather quickly, as if after he killed Mace he just decided, "Well, I've come this far..."

  13. Re:No problems ... just pickiness on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    Don't know where you got your timeline info, but from Episode II to III is 3 years and from episode V to VI is months, perhaps a year.

  14. Re:the cashier may have been stupid... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    I believe that may be an issue of jurisidiction. In Kansas City, MO, I believe you must be arraigned no later than 24 hours after your arrest.

  15. Re:A big stick and a dead horse on Star Wars TV Show, And An Unmade Trilogy · · Score: 1

    I believe that this dialogue was recorded by James Earl Jones in a looping session for A New Hope and it was inserted here. It sounds different but it's still JEJ.

  16. Special special editions on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm afraid I'm going to wait a couple of years until George ends up releasing all six with even more changes. I hope they took the wussy scream that Luke lets out as he falls from Vader at Cloud City though.

  17. Re:The most interesting part of this discussion.. on Simpsons Pay Dispute Settled · · Score: 1

    Yay! More Simpsons episodes! Maybe now, people who don't like watching the Simpsons will figure out how to use the remote control and change the channel, rather than inflicting their subjective, useless opinions on the rest of us!

  18. Re:All's fair on Simpsons Pay Dispute Settled · · Score: 1

    And I thought Richard Harris was pretty famous. I don't think adults who see the third movie will be thrown at all, but it will be interesting to see if younger children can pick up the fact that it's a different dude. My nephew didn't say anything when he saw the trailer, but that dumb bastard is only four.

  19. Re:Trailer or Spoiler? on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 1

    Absolutely right. I had no idea about the plot to the Matrix until I saw the movie, it was a totally different kind of enjoyment because nothing was given away. Contrast that to the other two, which I had no idea about the plot AFTER I saw them :)

  20. Re:A thought. on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 1

    This comparison is so arbitrary to be hilarious. And FYI, it probably costs the taxpayers $50,000 just to make one campaign trip on Air Force One, and that's not even government business. You shouldn't pull numbers out of your keister like that. The President gets a free residence, free food, and countless other perks that don't have a strict monetary value. A better comparison to the President would be a CEO like Rupert Murdoch. The disparity in pay there would apparently drive you to a seizure.

  21. Re:Sheesh! on TiVo Will Die · · Score: 1

    In Dallas-Fort Worth, Comcast charges $37.75 for regular cable with no premium channels. The "basic" digital subscription is $67.99 plus $4.80 a month for the digital box. (Plus $.30 for the remote) Plus, Comcast On Demand is not available here yet. My sister in Kansas City has the On Demand, and it sucks. Very few channels available and very few shows. Unless you want to watch "Let's Bowl" on Comedy Central (that's another set of problems right there).

  22. Re:Security by Confusion? on San Diego Diebold Poll Worker's Report Posted · · Score: 1

    I've been willfully ignoring most of your points, but I can't let your last comment stand. The idea of states is CENTRAL to the Constitution, not an afterthought.

  23. Your favorite airline? on Northwest Gives Personal Data to NASA · · Score: 3, Funny

    What did you like best about flying Northwest? The chronic tardiness or the spate of drunken pilots flying to an incorrect airport?

  24. Re:bin laden.. on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 2, Funny

    You don't remember Secretary Powell's presentation to the UN? He had satellite pictures of the "labs" and "stores" that they used to make and store the weapons. He even had a little vial of "anthrax". With "irrefutable" evidence like that, how could you not invade.

  25. Re:Powerbook premium on Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor · · Score: 1

    They just refreshed the Powerbook line not even a month ago, so probably not for awhile.
