  1. MS Ploy? on Rumours of Playstation 3 in 2003 · · Score: 1

    Sounds like MS is starting rumours so that people will hold off on buying PS2s. Typical MS. Can't beat 'em, so sue, lie, buy, steal, cheat, etc.

  3. give me a @#!!$ break on The Riddle of Baghdad's Battery · · Score: -1, Troll

    this is such a shallow attempt to sway people's opinions it hardly rates a response. boo hoo hoo I DON'T CARE how may clay pots get smashed if we have to fight Iraq. Ridding the Earth of one more despotic dictator is worth it. If we do fight, I hope the war is short with as few casualties on both sides as possible. Remember, Our goal was not to destroy the people of Germany and Japan. It was to destroy their government so they were not a threat to their neighbors or us. We had to play hard ball to make it happen (firebombing Dresden and nuking Hiroshima come to mind) but we did what had to be done. We'll do it here too. BC

  4. China? on Open Source Code And War · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Should China be prohibited from using GPL code because they enslave their population and have a dictatorship/communist government? No. As much as despise the Chinese government, that's not what GPL is about. BC

  5. Doess anybody else on Verbing Weirds Google · · Score: 1

    feel that Google is getting less and less cool as time goes on? I mean really, would the Google of 3 years ago have done this? It seems like just another example of a company taken over by lawyers and MBAs and it has lost it's soul in the process.

    I wouldn't call sediment from Boston Harbor "environmentally friendly" by any means.

  8. Not quite fair. on Using the FOIA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There were 3000 Americans killed on American soil. To expect things to remain "like they were" is not going to happen. After Pearl Harbor, Japanese in American were rounded up into camps. That's not going to happen in this instance (nor should it,) but we can't stick our heads in the sand either and just hope it will all go away. Besides, people like this "journalist" seem to have ulterior motives all the time anyway. I wonder how much gnashing of teeth there would be if those 3000 dead were the creme-de-la-creme of the Hollywood elite? BC

  10. You are screwed. on Advice for Surviving a Buyout? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The big guys are working deals so they'll be rich, and you won't even figure into their plans. They may throw a bone at you to keep you from leaving thru the transition, but they do not have your interests in mind. BC

  11. Easy fix... on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 1

    Just quit. I mean if you have all these complaints, and are still shelling out the $12/month, then YOU are the stupid one. Not Sony.

  17. 76%? on Jobs for Students - Where Are They? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does MS really get 76% of their workforce from outside the U.S.? If true, then no wonder they don't mind trampling our rights and trying to enslave the population. They employees at MS may not have ever even read the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

  22. You know, on Humans Use 83 Percent of Earth's Surface · · Score: 0

    I hope these radical enviro-whackos never get Weapons of Mass Destruction. These people are more dangerous than SoDamm himself. I don't doubt for an instant they would unleash something to reduce the human population and "save the planet!" if they had an opportunity.
