  1. Re:Yes on Are Rich People Less Moral? · · Score: 1

    The peasants are revolting!

  2. Re:Since Fox News is no News - No Problem on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fox News is to News what Professional Wrestling is to Sports so good luck with that Rupert. Hopefully the next owner of foxnews will have a nice site dealing with news about Foxes.

    I almost hate to point this out, but have you ever seen how many people pay money to see wrestling?

  3. Re:Translation, please? on Ballmer Calls Vista 'A Work In Progress' · · Score: 1

    It means "don't question me or I'll throw a chair at you!"

  4. Camera vs radio scanners on Is Videotaping the Police a Felony? · · Score: 1

    I can't see how a recording or photographing a police officer while performing his or her job is considered wiretapping when anybody can listen to and record the police using a radio scanner. Nothing that is being said between a cop and a person he is talking to or his actions with that person are something he should be worried about. By virtue of their job, the opposite should be true. From the article 'Young man, turn off your ... camera,' I notice at the end that the ACLU might get involved and I hope they crush that cop and his department.

  5. Same old song and dance aka FUD on Hilf Claims Free Software Movement Dead · · Score: 1

    Just like we heard before that *BSD is dead. This "death" would explain the growth of the different Ubuntus. It also explains all of the entries in freshmeat and sourceforge. It explains the continued development of KDE, XFCE and Gnome. This guy must be the mouth piece of Ballmer.

  6. Re:Steve "The Dancing Bear" Ballmer on Gallery of the Lamest Technology Mascots Ever · · Score: 1

    Fool tool stool. Hell, Ballmer is shorter.

  7. Re:Steve "The Dancing Bear" Ballmer on Gallery of the Lamest Technology Mascots Ever · · Score: 1

    My bad. I didn't RTFA. I was thinking of tool, not mascot.

  8. Steve "The Dancing Bear" Ballmer on Gallery of the Lamest Technology Mascots Ever · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why isn't he on the list?

  9. Re:Hmm.... on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    At least now the dump truck part will make sense.

  10. Over the entrance... on Detox Clinic Opening for Video Game Addicts · · Score: 1

    PWNT!

  11. Re:Detecting Submarines on Oceanic Sounds of Last Year's Earthquake · · Score: 1

    SOSUS is not manned by reservists, and is alive and well. There are several station around the world. IUSS is the integration of SOSUS and the T-AGOS programs. The T-AGOS ships are what tow towed arrays around the ocean and look in areas where SOSUS can't see. Although you might not see it, the SOSUS program isn't shrinking, it is expanding to cover new areas.

  12. Re:Carl Sagan said no on Might Mars Contain Life? · · Score: 1

    He said it in Cosmos on page 103. He goes on for some length about it, and it is a lot more typing than I care to do right now, but he pretty much sums it up as false positives. Quoting of Carl below. Enormous efforts were made to build the Viking microbiology experiments and test them with a variety of vicrobes. Very little effort was made to calibrate the experiments with plausible inorganic Martian surface materials. Mars is not the Earth. As the legacy of Percival Lowell reminds us, we can be fooled. Perhaps there is an exotic inorganic chemistry in the Martian soil that is able by itself, in the absence of Martian microbes, to oxidize foodstuffs. Perhaps there is some special inorganic, nonliving catalyst in the soil that is able to fix atmospheric gasses and convert them into organic molecules.

  13. Not to sound paranoid... on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But the RIAA hasn't exactly taken the moral high ground in the file sharing wars. Did anybody consider that perhaps it was the RIAA or somebody hired by them to conduct the attacks on DALnet? I used to log in to DALnet when I could, and checked out one of the mp3 rooms and I could see where the RIAA would want to put a stop to them.
