  1. Political Reasons? on Miguel de Icaza on Longhorn · · Score: 1

    .....what political reasons are there that you don't use BSD?

  2. Re:Sim for better thinking on Army Discusses MMO Troop Training Sim · · Score: 1

    Despite what your president said there weren't al-quida suicide bombers in Iraq before the war, but there are now.

    You have to admit that there is a line of reasoning that says it's the American's fault.

  3. Re:In other news, thinking skills in short supply. on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 1

    I do agree that those 600 innocent men, women and children in fallujah that are now dead are probably more peacefull. Don't know about the liberty or prosperity side of it though.

  4. Re:The *really* sinister part... on Offshoring Trends Net Biotech Firms · · Score: 1

    But back in "the good old days" of Slashdot, people didn't really post responses unless they did know what they were on about, or did a little research first to provide a couple of references.

    That's all I was trying to say.

  5. Re:The *really* sinister part... on Offshoring Trends Net Biotech Firms · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you're no medical expert then I suggest you shut the f*** up, or provide sources to back up what you've said there.

  6. Re:Spam on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 1

    Not only do some adults find it offensive but I know my neighbors kids get it in their email. There should be some law against that?

  7. Re:"Free Speech" is expensive, but worth it on 2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards · · Score: 1

    Just out of interest, which few countries or people have it as good as the US when it comes to freedom of speech?

    Presumably you are basing that statement on something?

  8. Rubbish on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 1

    Windows was originally designed as a single-user, game-playing operating system. It had no concept of networking or segmented user space or file permissions, etc. These things, among others, were added on later as the need arose.

    MS-DOS file permissions

  9. Re:Thames Trains Reading to Paddington has this on UK Trains Take WiFi Route To Connectivity · · Score: 1

    Thames Trains have lost their franchise and GNER is taking over, so it could have something to do with that?

  10. Re:Not sure if thats a good thing on No EZ Fix For The IRS · · Score: 1

    And it also could because I'm sure VBS code will work on a mainframe from 1962.

  11. Re:Is Learnt a word? on Can Communications Be Learned From Chimps? · · Score: 1

    Is that you cleetus?

    Nothing we english say could ever sound as stupid as "uppity tightass".

  12. Re:"...likely become the default X11 for most user on X.Org Foundation Releases X11R6.7 X Window System · · Score: 0

    What you're crying like a baby at them, Mr Scotsman?

  13. Re:The Sky is Always Falling on How India is Saving Capitalism · · Score: 1

    No, it will level it out so everyones somewhere in the middle. Why is that difficult to understand?

  14. Re:How about let's cut out the political speech he on Political Pop-ups, and Follow the Money · · Score: 1

    Why does being modded down frighten you?

  15. Re:Only a coincedence... on Bush Says Americans 'Ought to Have' Broadband and a Pony by 2007 · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it the imminent threat of WMD attacks?

    I'm sure someone mentioned something like that.

    I refer you to your own government.

  16. Gold-leaf hat on The Wrong Stuff · · Score: 1

    Interesting, so the conspiracy nuts could look all bling with their gold-leaf hats.

  17. Re:English? on HP to Globally Launch Linux-Based PCs · · Score: 1

    So you're a native American right? Just interested to know, because if you're not then you're a pretty big hypocrite.

  18. Re:The cynic speaks... on HP to Globally Launch Linux-Based PCs · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Time to mature on HP to Globally Launch Linux-Based PCs · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Also when he's using a PC that he's built from scratch himself and is using his home made solar panels to power it.

  20. Re:-1, Self-flagellating on Microsoft To Be Fined E500M By European Union? · · Score: 1

    Well you obviously got the good all American education that you paid for.

    Here's a hint, most people don't need to spell check every single word, they generally have some vocabulary of their own.

  21. Re:And it won't even be effective anyway!!! on Congress to Test Air Screening Program · · Score: 1

    So you don't believe anything that backs up it's sources or uses big words?

  22. Re:Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.. on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 1

    Didn't jump to that conclusion at all. Just seems like the most vocal of the Americans (the original poster being a good example) seem to love death and killing, e.g. actively wanting to see more dead europeans, which, to be polite about it, is a fairly uncivilised outlook on life.

  23. Re:What the hell is WRONG with you people? on Examining New York's Bioresearch Laboratory · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And you think we'd see the same response if one of these was found in Iraq?

  24. Re:Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.. on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 1

    You'd like to see more dead people?

    And you wonder why people don't like Americans.

  25. Re:I want to know... on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 1

    Doubt they would have the nuts?

    Not being funny, but why should the EU be frightened of Microsoft?
