  1. Re:Inferior translated holy works on British Library Puts Oldest Surviving Bible Online · · Score: 1

    At one time, millions of people believed the world was flat and the center of the universe. Bad example.

  2. Re:Simple answer on Why Is It So Difficult To Fire Bad Teachers? · · Score: 1

    How is this not +5 moderated?! Spot on! Disclaimer: spouse of teacher

  3. Re:Easy to fire anyone in the USA on Why Is It So Difficult To Fire Bad Teachers? · · Score: 1

    D-bag vigilantism is not the answer to anything. Appointing yourself as the person to "fix" things did nothing but hurt others. Nice try on trying to justify it.

  4. Re:Absent ironclad proof on You Are Not a Lawyer · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking you are exactly the reason this topic author is writing on this subject. You have no clue how the law works, yet blather on about what you'd do if you faced investigory circumstances. As one of the others said.... good luck.

  5. Re:Salvation on Guitar Hero II For 360 Extra Tracks, Hands On · · Score: 1

    Wow. This was really well-put and thoughtful. You are new here, right? If I had mod points, they'd be yours.

  6. Re:Legal age on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    You are allowed to drink at the on-base bowling alleys and such.

  7. Re:Blinking on Google Staff MD on Carpal Tunnel & RSI · · Score: 1

    Actually, this does happen in low light rooms. My programmers liked to sit in the dark (there's a pun there somewhere). We had to turn the light on when one of them was attempting to adjust to contact lenses. I've had the same problem in movie theaters. In darkness/low light, you aren't required to blink as often.

  8. Re:leaving *really* early for work. on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 1

    Sounds like some folks I know with /.

  9. Re:From Wikipedia... on New Congressional Bill Makes DMCA Look Tame · · Score: 1

    No, your quote says "Using his charisma, total control of the media, and intimidation of political rivals"..... Bush has none of these...

  10. Is this ..... on NASA's $73 Million Water-Finding Trick · · Score: 1

    an episode of "The Tick" I'm reading about....? Did Chairface succeed?!

  11. Re:Isn't the blurb a little too negative? on FFXII Scores Max In Famitsu · · Score: 1

    Ya, the 38/40 for FF8 really takes the wind out of their sail, in my book. That game was a real letdown after playing FF7.

  12. 20 years.... on Two-Stage-to-Orbit Spaceplane Program Shelved · · Score: 0

    It took 20 years.... find that out?

  13. ah politicians... on Maryland Governor Wants Voting Paper Trail · · Score: 1

    "Ehrlich's remarks, which he made a day before a Senate committee is to hold hearings on a bill that would require a paper trail" Nothing to see here. Just another politician trying to show he's "ahead of the curve".

  14. Re:It's about time! on Opera on the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why this is being rated as Flame material. As someone that has both PSP and DS, the DS would win my vote as a better browsing device because of the touchpad capabilities.

  15. natural selection? on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    Guy offs himself trimming hedges with a push mower, deafens self by headphones, etc.. I call these sorts of stupid actions "culling of the herd"....

  16. Re:A million addicts cry out at once! on World of Warcraft AQ Gates Open! · · Score: 1

    The only reason I think WoW may be addictive to some is due to the lack of a truly "great" game. I played it when it first came out, took a shammy to 60 and then quit (same day I hit 60 actually). The repetitive nature of grinding was just sooooo boring.

  17. Re:Benjamin Franklin, the truest of American Heroe on Happy 300th Birthday Benjamin Franklin · · Score: 2, Funny

    "unlawful combatants backed by a rouge state" I always thought those states were more red than rouge in the voting maps.....

  18. Re:Further information from kaos.theory on Anonym.OS a Boon for Privacy Geeks? · · Score: 1

    Good grief! I thought you were going to post a link to the blog, not the entire blog itself....

  19. Re:Pretend I am Jon Postel... on Vint Cerf Answering Questions on Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    I don't believe making it mandatory is a violation of free speech. Nudie mags are required to ship their wares in a covered bag. At least, that's what I heard....

  20. Re:Better yet on Google Launches Google Music · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that get them sued by the "Name that Tune" game show creators.... I should sue them for staying in production for me to play! I so ruled as a 9 year old.....

  21. Re:Eliza Virus? on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 1

    Like most /. readers, I'm concerned with this statement "The net is full of freely-available pornographic stories".... Please provide details.

  22. "University of Kentucky researchers" on Reduce Transistor Power Consumption · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Although I'm sure these guys are top-notch, research isn't what comes to mind when I think of Kentucky.

  23. Re:ESRB's job is not to be a censor? on The ESRB Gets An 'F' · · Score: 1

    I see a pattern here....oh wait. No "e"? You almost had me for a minute.

  24. Re:Iconic? on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 1

    I thought they already made a (really bad) movie on this book....

  25. Re:My job on Order in the e-Court! · · Score: 1

    This can already be done and hasn't been..... I can hear everyone saying "Yet" after that statement. But, the ol' "yet" can be thrown after almost any statement. The technology presented simply seems to expedite current procedures. I recently finished my first session of jury duty and was impressed with the system as it is. I was not all that impressed with my co-jurors.
