  1. Ever Littered? on Texas Rep Wants To Jail File Traders · · Score: 1

    Yes, we all know that you haven't ever spat gum onto a sidewalk when you were seven and didn't know any better.:)

  2. Hmm? on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    For anything? To any particular supernatural force? Just wondering.:)

  3. Free Secular Chechnya on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    The problem with Chechnya is that Russia kept interfering in it until the rebels became fundies. I wouldn't wish that headache on anyone; there is no fast way to solve Russia's self-inflicted Chechnya question. And, yes, you are committing war crimes.

  4. Extremists? on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    If you are so keen on going after extremists, why don't you nuke your Bible Belt? Saddam's not even a fundy.

  5. As opposed to? on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    Don't you know that Bush wet his pants and cried for mommy 1 minute after 9/11?:D

  6. Let the Yankistani's have their fun on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    America is two continents anyways.:)

  7. Time for Evolution in Action on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    I keep seeing neocons use this very distasteful phrase. No more! It's time for me to play with it in an appropriate context.

    This is a simple matter of Evolution in Action. If you enlist in an army, you deserve to die. It's dead simple. I hope that all American, Iraqi, and British volunteers get weeded out of the low end of the gene pool. j/k ;)

  8. Ye Flipping Gods on Dissecting Localized Google Censorship · · Score: 1

    They've even removed St. Patrick's Day logos from Google Ireland.:)

  9. Which Government? on Dissecting Localized Google Censorship · · Score: 1

    This is fundamentally wrong. If it is a public tool, it should be paid for by tax dollars and be institutionalized by the government.

    The last thing I need is to not be able to find the DeCSS haiku because your government doesn't like it.:)

  10. Surely You Mean on Chemical Haiku: Elements' Qualities in a Few Syllables · · Score: 1

    Surely you must mean "I was just staring at her breasts; honest!";)

  11. Only the First 20 Elements on Chemical Haiku: Elements' Qualities in a Few Syllables · · Score: 1

    We had to memorize the first 20 elements and it made our life much easier.

  12. On my TI-30X IIS on Chemical Haiku: Elements' Qualities in a Few Syllables · · Score: 1

    3 keystrokes:
    sin(3-1

    8 keystrokes and no brain aneuyrism:
    (5-1 + 6-1)-1

    Happy?

  13. Re:A good "compromise" on Defining "Planet" · · Score: 1

    Afterwards, when all the Iraqis talk of Saddam's horrors, no one will admit the US was right all along

    Right about what? The US won't shut up about Iraq's non-existent ties to al-Qaeda and imaginary weaponry, but it has barely mentioned Saddam's human rights record (except whereas it concerns said weaponry).

    Bill Clinton would have delivered a victory speech from Baghdad a few months ago with all of the world cheering if this war was actually relevant to the US foreign policy. Unfortunately, Bush is no Clinton.

  14. Indeed on New NASA Maps Show A Bad Day On Earth · · Score: 1

    I'm going to unleash them babies tomo...

    Oops, you aren't supposed to know that I'm Your God yet.

    Uhm...

    This is obviously another case of exploding gas mains that only sounded like me admitting to being God. Now, good netizens, if you would only look into the laser of your optical mice, we'll have the matter cleared up in a jiffy.:)

  15. Huh? on Peer Pressure Porn Filter · · Score: 1

    If I am reading it correctly, you quote actually has the nerve to claim that pr0n is bad. Where are you getting this alleged "excellent moral standard" out of?:)

  16. Holy Book Excerpt on Back to the Trees · · Score: 1

    I think my karma supplies are healthy enough for a few -1: Redundants.:)

    For Jonny Brock and Clare Gorst
    and all other Arlingtonians
    for tea, sympathy, and a sofa


    Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

    This planet has-or rather had-a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

    And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

    Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

    And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, one girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

    Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terribly stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever.

    This is not her story.

  17. Contrary to Popular Belief on Intuit Sued Over Product Activation · · Score: 1

    Contrary to popular belief, we Canadians are undertaxed.:)

  18. Even More Amazing on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    My 1 GHz processor does 86 400 000 000 000 operations in a day.:)

  19. Gravity! on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    I can't believe the dang thing still works. Nature sure knew what it was doing back then.:)

  20. Try Opera 7 on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 1
    Enable the sidebar and then right-click it to add the Windows panel. CTRL+ALT+N creates a container window (these also shown in the taskbar) while CTRL+N creates a child window.

    The child windows and container window are all shown as a tree view in the Windows. The tree has the functionality of a standard list box (with CTRL and SHIFT selection modifiers).

    A window is closed by hitting DEL with it selected. You can close multiple selected windows and closing a container will close all the MDI children in it.

    To make things even easier, you can add:
    [Windows Item Popup Menu]
    Item, "Close" = Delete
    to the menu.ini in your Opera directory.

    This will allow you to close the windows by using a context menu.

    I temporarily stopped using this because there is no blue highlighting of the unviewed windows that is present in the Pagebar, but I am switching back as soon as it is added.:)
  21. Not Just Kinda on Second Episode of The Animatrix Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I kind of thought the
    mass robot grave ~= our own historical holocaust(s)


    The bit with bulldozers disposing of robot corpses is plagiarised directly from documentary footage of the real Holocaust. I'm pretty sure that there also borrowed bits from the US Civil Rights Movement and the Tianamen Square debacle.

  22. Trash Can Absurdity on Another Garbage Patent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Am I the only one who thinks that dumping floppies into trash should REFORMAT instead of EJECTING?:)

  23. .xxx TLD on Dismal Failure of Internet Filters In Australia · · Score: 1

    Frankly, I don't believe this is too much to ask. For example, I go to the book store and they put the porno mags on the top shelf, where my child is unlikely to make a trivial error and pick one up. In essence, that is all I'm asking of the internet
    I do believe it is too much unless the TLD is optional. Where are you going to stick the mixed sites that don't segregate sexual from non-sexual material? Where are you going to stick erotic artwork? Where are you going to stick non-nude magazines? Where are you going to stick the more liberal of the free hosts (though that problem has almost solved itself:)?

  24. Re:Still censorship down under? on Dismal Failure of Internet Filters In Australia · · Score: 1

    I expect every crackpot US idea to be imported, and none of our own crackpot ideas to be discarded. Sigh.

    Hey, I like government monopolies. Stop insinuating that there's something wrong with them.:)

  25. Surely on Microsoft Quits OpenGL ARB · · Score: 1

    Ten years from now, DirectX (along with Microsoft Windows) will be dead, and OpenGL will be the standard.

    If we are lucky, Windows 3.1 will be dead ten years from now. The way things are going, however, that future looks dubious at best. Lousy poor people.:)
