  1. Re:Aliens and Non-Residents on Anti-Terrorism Law Passed · · Score: 0


    I've seen Calvin pissing on USA, but it was down in San Diego.

  2. Re:/. Eco-liberals / socialists / anti-capitalists on Anti-Terrorism Law Passed · · Score: 0


    Democrats are not liberal nor progressive. They are just a little less conservative than Republicans.

  3. Re:None v. Atheist on Jedi Knight Now (Not) Officially a Religion · · Score: 0

    I say, "I don't believe in any god."
    You say, "That's still a belief!"
    I say, "So? I still don't believe in any god. You can go bother someone else now."

    Some people would label me an atheist. Who cares? I can't help it that I don't believe. Nothing's ever happened to me that would make me believe, so I don't. Sometimes I wish I could believe, but it's not something I can just turn on--I cannot just decide to believe today.

    I don't subscribe to any atheist tenets, and I don't follow any atheist doctrine. I just don't believe.

  4. Re:Hemos get over it... on Napster Hurts Album Sales? · · Score: 1

    "Napster hurts album sales especially among poor college students."

    How are these college students going to buy CDs if they are poor? Not having Napster does not alter their lack of funds. This fact seems to contradict your statement.

  5. Re:Puzzled in NY.. on Will This Genie Ever Go Back In The Bottle? · · Score: 1

    Uh... don't most of these publications already have free websites that we can downoad? At least Atlantic Monthly does. It's a different format, but the articles are there--I also subscibe BTW.

  6. Land Before Time and Muppets do Phonics on Forum: Future Ports of Games to Linux · · Score: 1

    Some games for young children would go along way to recovering hard drive space taken up by Windows.

  7. "then" does not = "than" on Ultra Cheap Ultras From Sun · · Score: 1

    Sorry, it might be a typo, but that error is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

  8. Re:Why Should we go metric! on Mars Orbiter Lost Over Metric Conversion Error · · Score: 1

    ...but it translates exactly into 440 yards.

  9. Re:Time to go metric... OR... on Mars Orbiter Lost Over Metric Conversion Error · · Score: 1

    If we teach kids metrics first then they have no hope at learngin imperial units. Although Americans primarily use the Imperial Standard, most of us know BOTH!

    Poll: How many American on /. know both systems?

  10. Free? on Would Linux Survive if Solaris Was Free? · · Score: 1

    SPARC laptop = about $14,000

    Intel w/linux + a car to drive around = about $14,000


  11. Re: Viruses on Finns Outlaw Virus Writing · · Score: 1

    the latin word "virus"(which translates to venom) has a plural case of "viri." the English word "virus" (derived from the latin but not the same word) has a plural case "viruses" BTW the latin word for man is "vir" whose plural is also "viri"

  12. My personal database? on Who Owns The Database? · · Score: 1

    Could I make a small database with one item (my personal info), copyrite it, and then sue anybody who has this info within their database? I thinking mostly of people who sell lists to direct marketers and such.

  13. Re:Voluntary on PICS and the Global Rating System · · Score: 1

    So could I develop a "fascist" rating system to rate these reactionary dick-heads.

    Extremely Dangerous = Extreme Right Wing
    Dangerous = Right Wing
    Might Be Dangerous = on the fence

  14. I was hoping something like this would come along on Pine Introduces New Portable MP3 device · · Score: 1

    One of these would be cool for my car. You could burn a "road" CD kinda like I use to do with tapes for those long trips.
