    How about Osama Terror Porn? That would make the average Fox watcher wet themselves.

  2. Re:Constitution - What's That? on Senate Committee Votes to Authorize Warrentless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    We could move to China and all see where our jobs and money went.

    We scrape a 911 count of Americans off our highways every 48 hours.

    Scary terrorists. Yea, right.

    I'm suprised that anyone would use them as a reference. Junkscience.com is a well documented industry shill site. I thought that was fairly well known.

    Oops, you linked to junkscience.com.

    I think we get plenty of oil industry opinions from our government.

    Thanks anyway.

    I would be suprised if they weren't.

    I do like the low end Samsung printers. I gave an old one (13something) to a friend and it had a full toner cart. They don't make toner carts for it anymore but at the rate she's using toner I expect it to be empty in about 5 years.

    BTW All the Samsung printers work on Linux and OS X too. You can use the drivers from Samsung or the gimp print.

    I think they're aimed at upper middle class kids. The same ones who get a sports car to drive to high school.

    I've been a fan of the Antec cases too. Easy to work in, very few screws to work with inside the case. The latter is a big thing for me since I tend to drop screws into the case all the time. Antec seems to avoid a lot of the ugly colors too without being black or beige (black is the new beige).

    The Lian Li cases are very nice but I find them overpriced for what you get.

    I do believe Duck Hunt is one of the planned games.

    I doubt I'll be as good at the new one as the old one. I used to be able to roll the round counter a few times.

    They may use the same amount of power though.

  12. Re:Clerical ... well maybe it was clerical influen on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 1

    Yes, scientists can be just as dogmatic about their theories as creationists are about their beliefs. That still doesn't justify bringing overtly religious dogma into science education.

    If you want to participate in the scientific process you've got to base your theories on the scientific method, not dogma. Including Atheist dogma.

    The evidence against evolution has been laughably weak. The best you could do is prove the evolution is false, not that creationism is true.

    Do that with a 3090 and they'll be sweeping your remains into a jar (not the Java kind either).

  19. Re:Not Good on Transgaming Technologies and Mac Developers · · Score: 1

    Unlike Cedega, Cider is used by the developers and that means support. If it's slow or makes the game act weird on a Mac they have to fix it.

    I think it gives game developers a lower risk way of trying the Mac market. If the Mac ports are successful they may do a native ports next time.

    Besides, then the developers will have cool new Macs to play with and they may insist on doing a native port to play with all the new developer toys.

    If it makes you feel any better the Sprint employees couldn't get Sprint signal on the campus for years. I think they built a tower in the middle of the campus to fix that.

    This is the telecom industry you're talking about. It's like a school for inefficiency and bureaucracy.
