  1. Re:Wow, customized distros on SUSE Studio 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, thats why i had the disclaimer...

  2. Re:Anonymous Coward on HP the Victim of Enterprising Greenpeace Stunt · · Score: 1

    No, no hangings after the fact, but if i caught them on my roof, they would be coming back down in body bags. I don't care who they are, or what they thought they were doing, as they were trespassing and a unknown personal threat.

    oh, like you have been able to do with Freebsd for a while now with the FreeSBIE port ( at least the customized version angle )

  4. Re:irresponsible? on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    18, 30.. really makes no difference. None are 'irresponsible' as it was put.

    But if you want to live in a socialist world, where you are told what to buy so you can feel good, go right ahead, just don't do it around me.

  5. Re:irresponsible? on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    Complete disregard? Ya, buying a car that i like that gets 30 and keeping it, instead of trading it in on a car that gets 50 is considered a total disregard.. that makes tons of sense. ( not to mention the financial issues )

    the amount of so called "carbon footprint" difference is minimal, even without taking into consideration manufacturing or disposal issues. Taking the entire picture into consideration, it will be a net loss.

    You people are part ( or all ) of the problem. Besides this is a free country the last time i looked and i can buy what ever the hell i want.. preferably a large diesel pickup truck so i can run down your pip-squeak POS while you keep thinking you are green, when you are just deluding yourself.

  6. Re:irresponsible? on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    It is the most recognizable car that people feel is efficient. If i had used some obscure reference, the entire statement would have fell on deaf ( or stupid ) ears.

    ( its full lifetime efficiency is debatable, but it is the poster child for this sort of car. )

  7. Re:CCTV part probably fake on UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV · · Score: 1

    So? Being supervised in your own personal business by the government is still wrong.

  8. Slippery Slope on UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV · · Score: 1

    Nope, not in action here.

  9. irresponsible? on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    But it rewards those who were too irresponsible to buy "fuel efficient" cars to begin with..

    If that isn't an elitist and offensive attitude, i don't know what is. You sir, can take your prius and shove it.

  10. If 4 billion was supplied on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    If the initial 4 billion was supplied that was initially asked for we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    So, you really don't know how government works. ALL programs are designed to 'run out' and be extended. This one just has got more public notice then most.

  11. RIAA who are in fact completely innocent on Tenenbaum Lawyers Now Passing the Hat · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter, they are still evil and should be rallied against and taken down.

  12. handling the case competently on Tenenbaum Lawyers Now Passing the Hat · · Score: 1

    Why? The lawyers get paid even if they lose, so where is the incentive?

  13. betraying the spirit of the GPL on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Perhaps ( tho i don't agree ) its breaking the *spirit*, but its not breaking the rules in the slightest.

  14. Re:CAD on Cheap, Cross-Platform Electronic Circuit Simulation Software? · · Score: 0

    KiCAD is even cheaper for the 'real thing' and also cross platform.

    I don't know if it integrates with spice or anything for simulations.

  15. Re:Flash memory in a keyboard? on Apple Keyboard Firmware Hack Demonstrated · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Has there *ever* been a shipped fix for a keyboard?

    The code is pretty simple, adequate testing should eliminate the need for in the field updates. Or at the least put a stupid switch on it so you know you are updating.

  16. Re:Huh?? on Apple Keyboard Firmware Hack Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    Ok, i should have clarified that i meant 'user writable' flash.

  17. Huh?? on Apple Keyboard Firmware Hack Demonstrated · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why does a keyboard even need flash in the first place? Being a keyboard isn't a complex job.

  18. users give power to the grid on Electric Company Wants Monthly Fee For Solar Users · · Score: 1

    To me it sounds like they are even better then a paying customer since they are donating to the grid.

  19. How would they know? on Electric Company Wants Monthly Fee For Solar Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, so you prevent your system from giving back extra during sunny days ( which is the right thing to do.. ) how would they ever know you can generate your own power? ( hey, we go on vacation a lot so we shut everything off )

    Also, if i'm giving back back to the grid on good days, they are in effect getting free power to distribute elsewhere so they shouldn't bitch about it.

  20. examine their priorities on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 1

    Oh, but they have. They know exactly what their goal is, and really don't care how stupid and twisted it might be.

  21. Ok, this getting out of hand now. on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 1

    The 'PC' movement needs to shut their face, they are out of control.

    No, cinnamon apple

  23. if it is deemed legal? on School System Considers Jamming Students' Phones · · Score: 1

    Well, since the FCC says you cant have them here in the US, i think that question has been answered pretty clearly. I think the goal should be getting the laws changed to something more rational, not questioning what is on the books now.

  24. Lesson Learned on RIAA Awarded $675,000 In Tenenbaum Trial · · Score: 1

    Never admit to being liable.

  25. Re:Lesser of two evils? on Student Suing Amazon For Book Deletions · · Score: 1

    in 6 weeks no one will remember it ever happened. A new shiny object will appear over the horizon and distract most people.

    Besides, who wants a customer that reads 1894? Only a dissident would want to have that kind of dangerous knowledge.
