  1. Re:Racism on Western Union Blocking Money Transfers to Arabs · · Score: 1

    I can't find a single instance in the mainsteam media where anyone non-white is referred to as "President of the United States". Oh my god! Calling someone "President of the United States" is racist!

  2. Re:And in contrast, in Korea... on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    So why is Canada's ranking so much higher than the US?

  3. like is #67 on Tracking The (English) Words We Use · · Score: 2, Funny

    What happened to the days when only California teenagers/surfers used 'like' for every second word. I really noticed this when I went back to university recently. It's really, like, annoying to listen to, like, the kids today, like, use the word 'like', like, five times in one, like, sentence.

  4. Re:Fujitsu Lifebook on Buying a Small, Light Linux Notebook Computer? · · Score: 1

    I totally recommend the Fujitsu P-Series! It's true that you have to pay the MS tax when you buy it, but it's usually cheaper than trying to find a laptop that is exempt from the MS tax. You have to ask yourself which is more important to you, saving money or defying Microsoft. I choose to pay, and instead use every chance I get to publicly denounce the greedy, untrustworthy, insecure, inconsiderate, non-consumer friendly buggers (various obsenities muttered under my breath as I type this).

    I'm glad I did buy the P-Series because I can no longer imagine life without it. It's got just about everything you could possibly need built-in. And everything but the modem works under linux (and I've even heard glimmers of hope about the modem). And I mean everything works, even the little application quick launch buttons. I get a good 5+ hours of mobile coding/hacking done with just the main battery, and 10+ hours with the optional bay battery. There are a lot of great sites out there on getting it working with various flavours of Linux, one of the best being http://www.greenfly.org/fujitsu/, which has links to a bunch of other great resources, including my page. =)

    All in all a great, small, lightweight laptop that gets ohs and ahs everywhere I go.
