  1. Re:Do these get better just because of time? on First Look At Windows 7 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    I run Vista at home for my internet/gaming rig, UAC turned off, Aero turned off, on state of the art as of a year ago hardware, and everything seems peachy. I still despise Vista though.

    /rant ON
    Why do I despise Vista? Sometimes I have to support other people(family, friends, the guy down the hall whose work I depend on that doesn't have so good a relationship with IT). Why in the name of all that is Holy does microsoft have to screw around with things that work, that people know? Tell me, can you find the Mail widget in control panel using a 64bit version of Vista? It isn't on the "Main" screen of Control Panel where it f*cking should be. No, there is a "32bit Control Panel Widgets" button, buried in among all the other buttons, and you have to go there to find "Mail", what the f*ck? Why do they hide that? "Mail" is one of the Control Panel widgets that SHOULD BE ON THE MAIN PAGE!!111!!!!111!!! The first time I had to use it on 64 bit VISTA I looked like a complete idiot because I didn't anticipate that "Mail" shouldn't be on the main Control Panel page. Now I'm just pissed that I have to use an extra click to find it.

    Why the F*CK did they do this crap, it is just like Office 2007, changing things that work for no F*CKING REASON. That is just one example of things being moved for no reason. I could go on, but I have already wasted enough of my time.

  3. Re:Digital traps in an analog world on Using Speed Cameras To Send Tickets To Your Enemies · · Score: 1

    Really? It happens to me about once a month, some asshat is tailgating me, really closely, when I approach a light and it changes. Of course, I choose not to stop, but only because it is unsafe with said asshat right up on my bumper. They always follow me through the light too.

    With the changes in genitalia listed in the article, those of us who are older may be more in demand than the youngsters. Maybe we can have 3 desperate women apiece.

    Of course, death is always in the last place you look.

  8. Re:Zebra syndrome on Microsoft Researchers Study "Cyberchondria" · · Score: 1

    Some zoos I have been to(can't think of specific ones right now) have mounted police presence. So if you hear hoofbeats, think horses, unless you are right next to the zebra habitat.

    As for other countries where there are zebra, sure, but there it is probably called Horse Syndrome.

  9. Re:"The Dead Will Rise" on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure. Some people believe that neanderthals were absorbed into the european human population. If that is the case, then there are sound reasons for white(european ancestry) folks to dislike black(african ancestry) folks, since they are not wholly the same species.

    Not saying I believe it myself, just adding a slightly different perspective.

    Amen!

  12. Re:Actually, it's probably 3 or close enough on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    Cats bury their turds though. What makes you think humans and neanderthals didn't start burying their dead for the same reasons.

  13. Re:Not animals on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    A lot of people think it is great to be subject to the whims or their creator. I'm not one of them, but lots of religious folk are perfectly happy to believe that. Why should we expect neanderthal to be any different?

    But does it run Linux?

  15. Re:Yes on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    Voting block size is largely irrelevant. What matters is who was doing the most of the campaigning for Prop 8. I don't know that it was the Mormons, though I would suspect so.

    Might be interesting to know for sure.

    I personally don't think people need to use this Prop 8 as a reason to persecute Mormons, there are so many other good reasons already.

    They were just nudging us fully into the path of the planet killer asteriod due to hit us in December 2012. These guys have a lot riding on their theories of the accuracy of the Mayan calendar.

    Heroes for a while. Until the history books are finally able to tell the true story about the heroes enslaving martians, giving the martians horrible diseases for which their immune system has no protection, and massacring martians in large numbers in the name of converting them to the "true" religion.

    Lots of people would be fine with a single world government just so long as it was a (insert racial/religious group here) hegemony.

  25. God is a scientist on Science's Alternative To an Intelligent Creator · · Score: 2, Funny

    He had a theory that intelligent life was possible, and then devised an experiment to test it. This involved creating an infinite number of universes, so that the standards for the development of intelligent life could be met.

    Sadly, so far this experiment has been a failure. The only reason we are still here to post about it is because God's garbage collection is nearly as bad as ours is sometimes.
