  1. Re:Great idea - it can replace the Gas Tax! on Oregon Governor Proposes Vehicle Mileage Tax · · Score: 1

    As a road usage tax it doesn't take into consideration gas for equipment like lawn mowers and chainsaws.

    Crap, can't take the Husqvana 455 Rancher to work then.

  2. 100TB.... on Bush's Electronic Archives Threaten To Swamp National Archives · · Score: 1

    Is any of it actually interesting?

  3. Loved it! on 10 Years of Baldur's Gate · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I still love playing this game.

  4. Re:Terrible Idea on Nobel Prize Winning Physicist As Energy Secretary · · Score: 1

    Bill Richardson would be one. I think you've heard of him.

  5. Figures. on The Beginnings of Apple Computer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The sad thing is, without Jobs the Apple might never have gotten anywhere. Now Jobs runs it all.

    I wonder if Woz is happy.

    I miss the "Old" Computer Shopper.

  6. Re:To Be, or not To Be... on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: -1, Troll

    Well, I mean for most Senators the lines are kinda blurred with regards to earmarks. Rights wise, I really, really can't trust Democrats. :)

  7. To Be, or not To Be... on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    On one hand, he had no clue about the internet and took bribes AND managed to get convicted for it.

    On the other hand, it's a Democrat (Socialist) replacing him.

    Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

  8. Re:I voted in this manner... on How We Used To Vote · · Score: 1

    From what a quick google search pulls up of the area, I'm not stunned.

  9. Re:Face it - the States is cooked on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Dear Ralph:

    There's four borders in this country. Pick one and head out. We don't need whiners like you in a small mess like this. Real Americans can take a look around, and say "I've seen worse." and rebuild. If you're not interested in that, move.

    signed:

    Real American.

  10. Colder than Space? on New State of Matter Could Extend Moore's Law · · Score: 0

    Did they change something or is space still a vacuum? A vacuum can't have a temperature if there's nothing in it to have motion or movement.

  11. Re:Especially with guys like George Soros at the h on Linux As a Model For a New Government? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is the same Soros that is funding Moveon.org, hates Bush and his allies with a passion and has funded the democrats before this election to the tune of at least $20-30 million dollars?

    We're supposed to trust Mr Liberal, there? No thanks.

  12. Re:Tag? on Banjo Used In Brain Surgery · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, they're that immature.

  13. Won't do me any good. on Fallout 3 Gets Leaked, Goes Gold · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No xbox 360.

    My Current PC sure won't run it. I've got Fallout and Fallout two, thanks to GOG.com again so I'm happy for now. :)

  14. Reach for the switch... on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and see if it complains, first. If it does, then call me back.

  15. Re:Let's See. on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 1

    Pumice can float. :D

  16. Let's See. on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 4, Funny

    Rocks sink, and Rocks Fly. Problem Solved!

  17. Right. on Chinese Astronauts Complete First Spacewalk · · Score: 1, Troll

    This is an important step in China's goal of building an orbiting space station and sending astronauts to the moon

    Yeah, right. You've got a couple more steps before you can move into the Moon Base, speedy.

  18. So may knee-jerk reactions.... on State of Kentucky Seizes Control of 141 Domain Names · · Score: 1

    I'll bet that's what's going to happen.

    1. There is one sport in Kentucky you can gamble on: horse racing. That's very controlled. Screw with that revenue stream and you won't be on their good side.
    2. Let's see your feelings when your 13 year old takes your credit card for a spin online and puts you in several deep holes.
    3. If you win, will you get paid?
    4. Then there's the situation with some sites already blocking access from Kentucky. If some are doing it, it's possible for all to do it.

    We won't address the point that gambling is simply a easy way to lose money.

  19. Dang... on Comcast Outlines New Broadband Policy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are only two games in town: ATT's DSL (slow) and Comcast (Fast, but with strings).

    What's the point of having the internet when you can't do anything on it?

  20. GOG on What's the Best Video Game Download Service? · · Score: 1

    I mean, I've got brand new copies of my fallout and fallout 2 disks, which have been ruined in between many moves.

  21. Re:Or more reasonable policies on Students Are Always Half Right In Pittsburgh · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you can slide by with a 50% for doing nothing, people will do exactly that.

  22. Re:A rose by any other name... on Mozilla Admits Firefox EULA Is Flawed · · Score: 1

    Which is my point. I know the GPL isn't an EULA, but it certainly get presented as one plenty of times.

  23. Re:A rose by any other name... on Mozilla Admits Firefox EULA Is Flawed · · Score: 0

    ...and I get that a lot on things licensed under the GPL. So, therefore, the GPL is an EULA.

     

  24. This can't be good. on NASA Patents To Be Auctioned · · Score: 1

    So NASA gets a couple of pennies while anyone who wants to use the technology gets their pocketbooks pillaged?

    Am I understanding that right?

  25. Opinion in the OP on First Prototype of Open Source TechCrunch Tablet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I know this is hardly a journalism site. And let's face it the MSM does the same thing the Author of this piece does. Crap like "Big mouth tech blogger Mike Arrington" isn't proper journalism, it's insulting. The opinion of the writer should never go in the story.

    Yeah, I've given up on the networks already.
