    Can you tell me where you found that price?

    Check pricewatch.

    Just be careful which vendors you choose.

    How's that go

    The Democrat is all heart and no brain, the Republican is all brain and no heart?

    Kidding...kidding.... The Republican does have a heart.

  3. SGI's demise on The Return of the Sun Workstation, With AMD's Help · · Score: 1

    "Has Sun learned from the demise of SGI workstations that relying on one processor architecture is harmful?"

    SGI took the big hit because they didn't see the PC graphics train barreling down the track, not because they were on a single processor architecture.

    If Kerry's such a moron he can't even keep track of a baseball game score for a team he's supposedly a fan of, he sure as hell isn't ready to run a country.

    Look at the NYT 'article' on the missing explosives.

    NBC debunked it last night; Kerry keeps repeating it (ding ding ding...MORON).

    Even on the little things he lies. Earth day, he said he didn't own an SVU. When confronted with the fact the he did indeed own an SVU, he said "his family" owned the SVU.

    The guy's an idiot.

    Quit being a Kerry apologist. Say what you want about Howard Dean, at least he was consistant about what his views where. Kerry can't even do that.

    Good idea and San Francisco is a great place to visit, but shouldn't they do something to help the unemployed and homeless in that town? And when I say "help the homeless", I mean REALLY help them, like get them a place to live and a way to make a buck, not just handouts, which they've done in the past.

  10. What a load. on Bush and Kerry Supporters Have Separate Realities · · Score: -1, Troll

    The media says NOTHING about the good news that's happening in Iraq.

    They completely IGNORE that the elections in Afghanistan went well, and that women actually got to vote over there.

    You know, for a party of people with so much "compassion" for other human beings, I think it's disgusting that their blind hatred of anyone that doesn't goose-step in line with their thinking needs to be taken out.

    Freeing people from dictators is just one example.

    Blocking Nader from a ballot is another.

    Spreading lies about a new military draft coming, which by the way was being pushed by Charles Rangel, A DEMOCRAT (http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/07/rangel. draft/),
    is yet another.

    Lie after lie after lie.

    And don't give me any crap about Bush lies about this or that (because that's all it is, crap!)

    Clean up your own playpen before you start bitching about the other side.... and guess what, because you can't. Whatever delusional ideas you have about Bush, Kerry and the Democraps are ten times worse.

  11. Voter fraud on Voting Plus Lottery Equals Voter Turnout? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you think voter fraud is bad now, try something like this and it would be 100x worse.

  12. Ah....No on Software Piracy Due to Expensive Hardware, Says Ballmer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    PCs are cheap here. You can get an entry level PC for less than $500. Still there's piracy.

    Look at the Palm or mobile phones. Cheap cheap cheap. Still there's piracy.... and a lot of those programs only cost $5.

    The cost of hardware and software have nothing to do with it. If there's a way to get a "free copy", some people will always go that route.

  13. Re:what's worse? on DNC and Voter Suppression · · Score: 0, Troll

    That right there is worse.

    Bullshit. Forcing someone on the ballot because you think it's going to hurt your candidate is what they do in third world countries. For Democrats to be pulling this just shows that they want to win at all costs... And at the same time, they profess to be the "party of the little guy". They might have been at one time, but now that's a bunch of horsecrap. The party has been taken over by left-wing nuts, who will say and do absolutely do ANYTHING to win.

    That includes supressing military votes, widespread voter fraud, making up problems where none exists (look at the Colorado manual), and people trashing campaign headquaters, and breaking into others.

    Sounds to me like the Democrats are so freaking scared that they can't win they're resorting to this sort of thing.

    THESE ARE DOCUMENTED FACTS.

    Now in the last days of the campaign, Mary Beth Cahill calls talking about the kids of candidates is "fair game". We have John Edwards prove he's a moron for saying that if he and Kerry are elected that people in wheelchairs will walk again.

    Yeah, that's real fair. People that do this make me puke.

    It completely depends on what they mean by "real-time', since it depends on a whole bunch of things.

    Personally, I'd be satisfied if they (or someone) semaphored everything at a low enough granularity to allow multiple processes in kernel context at the same time.

    Modcomp did that back in the late 80s or early 90s, and their real-time UNIX kicked ass (Real/ix). Too bad that company's not doing much with it now.

    And further, CBS's only expert they cited, Marcel Matley, said this:

    In fact, modern copiers and computer printers are so good that they permit easy fabrication of quality forgeries. From a copy, the document examiner cannot authenticate the unseen original but may well be able to determine that the unseen original is false. Further, a definite finding of authenticity for a signature is not possible from a photocopy, while a definite finding of falsity is possible.
