  1. Still Hot? on Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked · · Score: 1

    Are you sure M. Sirtis was hot in the first place? I don't recall any particularly hot characters ever being on TNG (though Tasha Yar, Ensign Ro, and Geordi's crush had a certain appeal).

  2. Correct Save For One Mistake on Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked · · Score: 1

    McCoy wasn't entertaining either. I'm sorry, but I don't find neoluddite idiots amusing at all.:)

  3. Re:The Alternatives on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    Nader?

  4. Re:Actually on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 1

    Okay, I opened a physics lab report in Word and saved it as HTML.

    It's certainly much better than what Word 97 did, but almost all attributes are not enclosed in double quotes. Some attributes are actually enclosed in single quotes.

    I'm going to disagree with you on the extra attribs thing as well. IMHO, it is a big "No, no". If they want to do it, they should at least have the decency to link to the specs being used the way W3C mandates. They actually have the nerve to link to the HTML 4.01 spec instead.

  5. Yahoo? on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 1

    I do visit Yahoo! Groups from time to time (w/ Opera 7 set to identify to Opera), but I don't think a great many people do that. There is absolutely no other reason to touch Yahoo! with a parsec-long stick.:)

  6. Thank You on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    What you said was very polite and in no way offensive. Those who replied to you are trolls of the worst kind. Thank you.

    I'm very sad and introspective myself about this.

  7. System Difficulties on Wikipedia Reaches 100,000th Article · · Score: 1

    Is Microsoft being evil because I am running Opera or is that a genuine error message?:)

  8. Physical implications... on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 1

    You, say, get a speeding ticket because the display is now in KM/H instead of MPH.

    Uh, that won't happen no matter what. There are roughly 1.6 miles in kilometre and, ergo, 1.6-1 kilometres in a mile. OTOH, you'd be very likely to get one if the display switched from km/h to mph.:)

  9. Re:Nothing too exciting here... on S3's DeltaChrome Examined · · Score: 1

    What do you have against EpsilonChrome or ZetaChrome?:)

  10. Heisenbugs on The D Language Progresses · · Score: 1

    Dictionary Definition

    Heisenbugs are eeeevil!:P

  11. Enough! on MPEG 4, Windows Media 9 At War · · Score: 1

    Damn Slashdot hippies like me!

    Enough with the stupid anti-microsoft threads!

    Bring on some intelligent anti-microsoft threads!:D

  12. Re:wow man on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 1

    What animals? I didn't say anything about any animals.:D

  13. Re:What's in your AGP slot ?? on GeforceFX (vs. Radeon 9700 Pro) Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Everyone is the result of incest by children of Adam and Eve!

    Actually, we are all descendants of Cain and Eve. Cain got his specified but unnamed wife from somewhere and the only woman available at the time was his mother. Naturally, this only applies to (and explains) fundy Christians.:D

    BTW, do you think Adam or Eve have a navel?;)

  14. Re:There is No Anti-Industrial Subtext on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    His tearing up the forest to fuel the fires and the army he creates.

    Aule created the shepherds of the trees not to prevent the industrial use of lumber but to slow it down.

    Dwarves mines for gold, something done long before the Industrial revolution. They didn't mine for coal to fuel the fires of industry.

    Ah, yes, their gold must have turned into rings (and iron into swords) through magic and not smelting.

    The mithril mine looked identical to the hole the orcs dug near Fangorn in terms of ladders and hanging contraptions.

  15. There is No Anti-Industrial Subtext on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    Actually, Tolkien's middle-earth has no anti-industrial subtext. Both Anwe and Melkor and their followers used industry.

    You would have seen this if Jackson had chosen to showcase a Dwarven civilization at the height of its power instead of debasing Gimli with "jokes".

  16. Yep on New Estimates for Universe's Age · · Score: 1

    I am 95% sure that the US should notice the rest of the world sometime between 5 billion years from now when the Sun expands into a Red Giant and a trillion years from now when either a Big Crunch is imminent or matter is becoming hard to find.;)

  17. Opera 6.05 on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 1

    Isn't it time to upgrade to Opera 6.05? After all, Opera 7 will come out soon and blow everyone else out of the water.:)

  18. Re:Punishment better than prevention? on GTA and Rating of Video Games · · Score: 1

    People in prison still commit crimes.

    You are right. We should all be gas chambered.:D

  19. BURN, HERETIC! on Redesigning The "Back" Button · · Score: 2, Funny

    How dare you take the pre-Umbilist position about BELLY BUTTONS? Every KNOWS that GOD did not create BELLY BUTTONS! These unspeakable signs of SIN -- they cannot appear without ABOMINABLE fornication -- formed when MAN fell from the GRACE of GOD by eating a BREAST-SHAPED FRUIT. You will BURN in HELL forever!

  20. Re:Having to retype a form on Top Ten Web-Design Mistakes of 2002 · · Score: 1

    Use Opera. It's navigational functionality doesn't wipe out forms or require resubmits.

  21. On Evil on David Brin On LOTR · · Score: 1

    I accept the notion of evil. I don't accept the notions of Evil or Good.

    Malevolent? Cool. Malicious? Sure. Contrary? No problems. Helpful? Yay. Beneficent? Shagadelic. Kind? No worries, mate.

    Good? No. Evil? No. Moral? No. Immoral? No. Virtuous? No. Sinful? No.

    I don't know what you mean by strawman unless it has something to do with the one in Oz.

  22. Re:Why I never cared much for LOTR on David Brin On LOTR · · Score: 1

    Star Wars, white farm boy rebels and destroys the life's work of a successful black man.

    Actually, it's not racist because the black man was actually white underneath his black clothes.;)

  23. Says You on David Brin On LOTR · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fuck 'im. He's wrong anyway. The story isn't black and white. Saruman was good, but was corrupted and turned to evil.

    Fuck you.;) The story is black and white. There is no such thing as good and evil in the real world. Any story with good and evil is black and white.

    Tolkien based most of the Good and Evil stuff on the mythology of Catholic Christians. Melkor was his Lucifer (you know, the one intelligent angel who gave Jesus the finger and thought for himself) and Sauron was a smaller variant of the same theme.

  24. Getting Back On Topic on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 1

    You should read Hamlet in the original Klingon.

  25. Re:Metaphor Faux Pas on Tim O'Reilly Says Piracy is Progressive Taxation · · Score: 1

    What about Depo, Deseine, and Devolga?:)
