  1. Re:In Fascist China... on YouTube Yanks Free Tibet Video After IOC Pressure · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's just bad...and I laughed which makes it worse!

  2. Ah the IOC on YouTube Yanks Free Tibet Video After IOC Pressure · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The IOC is about as protective of its brand as China is. Sad.

  3. Pirated? on BSOD Makes Appearance at Olympic Opening Ceremonies · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What's worse is the copy of Windows was pirated!

  4. Tech in a box? on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    Put yo junk in that box...it's yo tech in a box!

  5. Stolen on The Effects of Exporting Used PCs To Africa · · Score: 1

    When my laptopS were stolen, the cops said apparently many wind up in Africa.

  6. Re:Support is Better on Paid Support Not Critical For Linux Adoption · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Where I work Linux adoption mainly comes through 3rd parties. The idea of having someone to blame, I suppose but to me that was always an odd argument. So many justify using Microsoft for this but Microsoft specifically obfuscates itself from harm in it's EULA's. Sure they'll help troubleshoot a situation and support you through the issue but you have no recourse through them at all. If a MS-SQL bug costs your company millions, they won't take responsibility.

  7. Re:Yeah, and has that same empty stare... on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    Okay which industry is she in? I guess it holds true either way!?

  8. Fsck Insurance Companies! on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    Another reason to despise insurance companies. I don't know what would be more disappointing finding out my daughter was a stripper or that she works for an insurance company. Either way, she's probably screwin' way too many people!

  9. Nice guy on Miguel De Icaza On Mono, Moonlight, and Gnome · · Score: 1

    Miguel is probably a nice guy I just always had a bad feeling about coddling Microsoft. There's a reason the oxpecker doesn't sit on the back of the lion to feed.

  10. Or... on Free Tools To Evade China's Web Censorship · · Score: 1

    'it's a very good time remind Western reporters that there are such tools.'

    As opposed to telling China's oppressive regime to go pound sand, we're not sending our athletes to China you miserable fucks!?

  11. Same old... on Miguel De Icaza On Mono, Moonlight, and Gnome · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like Miguel still pimping a marriage with Microsoft. Dude, she likes country and he likes rock-n-roll! Seafood vs. burger and fries. He's frugal, forward looking and she spends money like a drunken sailor! More importantly he just wants some freedom and she wants to tie him down. Let it go!

  12. Re:Poor choice of words on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 1

    Hey, Dumbass, you've never met me. I DON'T treat it as a single concept. I personally have no problem with it. I don't think it explains the origins of man, but it certainly explains the many species.
    Assume much? How powerful you must feel. Ass!

  13. Re:Not much life on Mars. on White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars · · Score: 1

    Dude, I get it. Maybe I should have chosen a more distinctly dangerous element?

  14. Re:Poor choice of words on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 1

    So what's your point? With the Fair Tax only what we spend is taxed. It transfers more power back to the people. If you disagree with your government's policies, you can opt out of paying taxes by not spending. More importantly, the government will suffer with it's people in economic hardship. Currently, the trend is to increase taxes when times are hard to ensure they get theirs. You should read the book.

  15. Re:Poor choice of words on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 1

    Poorly worded, my bad. Interesting way of putting it, though. Essentially you're saying, "Yeah, too bad the evidence just keeps supporting the theory." I wonder, if like the notion of the atom in OP, any such evidence would be suppressed. Good thing we'll never have to deal with it because well, the theory is flawless!

    Mods, remove that post! It is not only informative, but on topic! :p
    Thanks for that post, Graff.

    More importantly, they are always looking for new evidence which will either corroborate or contradict their theories.

    Really? How many are working on counter-theories to evolution? Yeah, sit down Skippy. SOME scientists are just as religious about their theories as religions themselves.

  18. Re:Poor choice of words on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Injecting some snide comment about religion into every science story on /. is getting about as bad as injecting "Bush" into...well, every other story on here. Dude, if you wanna beat-off guilt free just do it!

    Well, beyond that you can't necessarily say that conditions on Earth provide the blueprint for life on other planets. There may be organism on other planets that can breathe, say hydrogen for all we know.

  20. What about software? on PCMark Memory Benchmark Favors GenuineIntel · · Score: 1

    How do we know other code isn't simply optimized for Intel CPU's? Granted, it's not in the best interest of software makers to do this unless some other incentive is in place.

    Well on weekends I mountain bike. I'd like to do 100mi a week but life and rain get in the way. :(

    I bike about 50mi or more a week.

    I would think he is grooming someone that has a similar vision. That's what Steve brings. It's a unique view on the way the product should be. That's what was missing when he left.

  24. Re:Just now? on China Races To Clean Up Olympic Air · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you, but at least in the US the average coal plant is way over the allowable limit of emissions. We can find out-of-compliance coal plants in the US as fast as we can secure money to send people up smokestacks to check emissions. I know one person formerly in the stack-sniffing business with whom I have discussed the situation (among others) and it's very, very dirty.

    The overall cost of burning fossil fuels is much higher than they think. Cancer rates doubled in the industrial revolution.

    China isn't really known for paying its laborers fairly anyway, I'm sure they could do solar and wind quite cheaply. They are working on bringing up wind power, but not as hard as they're working on coal.

    What is allowable? And given how much cleaner our plants are, his point still stands. I imagine our plants are dramatically cleaner than theirs. Why does this have to be a "oh yeah! look at what we do!" point? China is a fucking joke compared to the rest of the world, especially the U.S. I realize it's in vogue and all the lefists will complement you for your shiny new "America-bashing" but stay the fuck on point. China, besides being a human rights nightmare, is a pollution nightmare but for some reason tree-fuckers are often reluctant to call them out without including some pissy anti-America comment.
