  1. But how about the people MAKING money on SPAM? on Spam Costs U.S. Companies $22B Annually · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Surely the profits on spam, selling the hardware, selling the services, etc. are large, otherwise no one would do it. SO, some people are making money on it, others are losing money on it. Does it equal out?

  2. I thought it was called a Notebook on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    compact, monitor built in etc etc.......

  3. Re:When did this happen? on US Government May Not Approve Sale of IBM PC Unit · · Score: 1

    OK so the mill that employed half the town shut down. Where exactly is "down the street" where I can get a job? HUH? You can't even get a job flipping burgers! That town is dead. There is no more work there! You must live in Atlanta or something, because you don't seem to have an idea of what happens to a small town when the business that is the backbone of the local economy just goes away with no notice.

  4. When did this happen? on US Government May Not Approve Sale of IBM PC Unit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Computers are all made in China anyway! We don't build cars in America, we don't grow food in America, we don't even do tech support in America, we don't make steel in America, we don't make clothes in America and we're busy moving all our jobs that pay well overseas! When exactly did this kind of behavior become a "national security problem?" instead of good business? I mean I know all those people who used to make textiles in the South all just went right out and got themselves a degree after the mills closed - what, you say they weren't smart enough to do that?

    Then WHAT THE HELL is left for them to do when all those jobs are gone except cook meth in their trailers? Or become religious terrorists?

  5. MIne does all that for $21 on Closed Digital Cameras - Does Anyone Care? · · Score: 1

    Digitrex, piece of junk I paid $21 for and another $25 for 256 RAM. Video w/ audio, still pics, audio recorder, MP3 player, storage, and probably more that I don't care about. And 2 Megapixel is so close to a real photo I don't care.

  8. I guess I'm just old and cranky on $113.5 billion worth of electronics sold in 2004 · · Score: 1

    Mp3 players to listen to Ashlee Simpson. HDTV to watch Survivor. Digital Cameras to take more bad pictures than you did with film. Cell phones to talk on while driving so you crash. Ring tones for some unknown reason. It just seems like there is no real progress here, only just more junk.

  9. Re:What about the budget on Carnivore No More · · Score: 1

    If you don't like it the way it works here, go to a country where you are taxed less and have better security, better living conditions, better opportunity to make money, have better health care and better roads and better police and better armies.

    Oh wait there's no such place? Then shut up and pay your taxes.

  10. Re:Creationism vs. Evolution on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    No, it's the Evangelicals who think Catholics aren't Christians. They are an EXTREMELY FOCUSED AND NOISY subset of Protestants. Don't let them fool you into thinking that they are they only true Christians. Although they are SOOO noisy it is possible to get that impression. Most Christians understand that the Bible is full of metaphor and the like. Beware of fundamentalists, of any religion.

  11. Re:Only Newegg on Where Do You Shop for Server Components? · · Score: 1

    Roger that. Go get a freaking loan if you need credit or give me a credit card. I don't need to be in the collections biz.

  12. Indexing? on Desktop Search Engines Compared · · Score: 1

  14. mod parent down on New Graphic Displays for the Blind · · Score: 1

    My "blind guy & pr0n" comment from the last time this subject popped up was modded as flamebait. Please mod parent down as flamebait, because blind people don't like pr0n, being sexless as they are. /end sarcasm

  15. Just more activist judges on CA Court Strikes Blow Against Hidden EULAs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'd say, they know nothing. Because, you know, these will be the first floods anyone has seen in 5200 years.

    Output everything to .pdf, then you can edit that if you need in your original app, whatever that is. Who wants other people mucking about with your files anyway?

  22. It kills Flash on Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    And that's the ony real reason I use it. IE keeps asking me to install it, Firefox just shows an icon. No plug-ins.

  23. Re:All these mergers and one that I wish would hap on Sprint Close to Buying Nextel · · Score: 1

    That's because ALlltel has COVERAGE, baby! Nextel does not have it.
