  2. Re:Wow! Excellent Marketing! on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Because marketing obviously isn't successful until it's been mentioned on the news. Oh BTW I'm sure they went broke spending the hundreds of pennies on LEDs.

  3. Re:It Hosed my Firefox 1.0.3 install on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think that it's just a firefox bug. The same thing happened to my 1.0.3 install. But it was about a week ago, before I had even heard about this new google program. I had to uninstall and then go and delete my profile before it would work again.

    This story puts a face on those "immigrants who are stealing my white child's spot in state college."
    I have never really understood why people take this as a race issue. It seems like to most people the my child would be the much more important part. If anything it seems like it is more a selfishness issue than anything. I mean when there used to be a problem with irish immigrants they where white.
  5. Re:This is plain stupid. on Google Ruled a Trademark Infringer · · Score: 1

    No, this is more like opening a used car lot that sells Mazdas, and buying a spot under the Used Cars - Honda category, possibly without mentioning that you actually only sell Mazdas.

    Even if you say that analogy is true, thats not illegal is it? Well I guess it is in France.
  6. Re:Doom for Social Security on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Given how unhappy I am spending a huge chunk of my week either thinking about work, preparing for work, or working, I have little time to myself and feel that I should compensate myself; additionally, it seems silly to just save the money I've earned, since I wouldn't know what to do with it all. Hence, I buy stupid things that I don't really need and that bring me a small but very transient amount of happiness.
    Even though you say it seems silly to save, how about instead of buying stupid things you save the money? Then when you have saved enough, stop working. Take a vaction if you want, or quit and spend a year in another country.
