  1. Re:Journalism??? on Director General of BBC Resigns Over "Poor Journalism" · · Score: 1

    Compared to Dancing with the washed up celebs and Desperate Cunts of some city or other....it is entertainment.

  2. Re:FOX News... on Director General of BBC Resigns Over "Poor Journalism" · · Score: 1

    It's okay though. Those lies are politically correct. If a news organization lies to do good then it's okay so CBS, NBC and ABC get a free pass and MSNBC is the hero of them all. Sacrificing credibility in the name of all that is good. Maybe one day CNN will get off the fence and start lying as well instead of just selectively reporting. They still think of themselves as journalists unlike their liberal brethren at the other mainstream media disinformation outlets. I'll admit FOX has a real right wing bias but to rant against them while ignoring how the others don't even attempt to play fair shows you don't even care about the truth unless it's your truth. I really miss the days of Walter Cronkite when you could believe that what you watched was a real portrayal of unfolding events. Those days are apparently gone forever.

    Larry Ellison, one of my favorite people. I hold him up as a shining example of the ultimate blend of sinister and arrogant of all time. One of my favorite jokes ever is the one where the question is "What's the difference between God and Larry Ellison?" and the answer is "God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison." It's old but I still like it.

    I hate to see him leave. Having Ballmer drag Microsoft into the toilet is a good thing. If they got someone new who could revitalize MS then they go back to crushing innovation under their heel. Failure at Microsoft is good for the computer industry.

    I too have the ZG5 with 8GB SSD. I picked it up cheap off a guy who's XP install was borked and I tried many linux distro's before I settled on Peppermint OS which works like it was made for the thing. I love it as it weighs hardly anything and actually fits in my coat pocket.

    Yeah things like the 40 hour work week and paid overtime just destroyed US manufacturing. They were doing much better when they paid 3 dollars a day for 16 hours labor and you shopped at the company store on credit so you couldn't quit for another job because you owed the store 5 months of your pay. Oh for the good old days.

    I doubt he was that good at it. Probably he was a manager at the CIA which means he needs help to find his own ass. There are plenty of talented people in Government service but almost none of them ever make it to management.

    Didn't you see how he saved the country from the GWB depression and stopped the wars and closed Guantonamo? Where ya been the last 4 years? If nothing else he turned the military loose to kill Bin Laden, gotta give him props for that.

    The poll workers are all democrats and republicans so the libertarian votes end up going to whichever party can snag them fastest.

    Another fiction. Republicans do not believe in a free market. The idiocy part is right though.

    I think you fail to understand the difference between Anarchy and Libertarianism. Libertarians believe in rule of law and taxes. They also, unlike so many in today's society believe in personal responsibility. Sadly, because of that one belief they will never garner more than a fraction of the vote since we now have the majority firmly supporting a Nanny State. It wont last forever however so get ready for real anarchy when the economy finally crashes. Let all these entitled folks run out of bread and it'll get ugly quick.

    Hell yes! FOX should be jumping up and down with glee. They can spend the next 4 years critiquing the Obama administration while CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN will be making excuses for why he still hasn't managed to fix the economy. I can hear that advertising money rushing in due to even higher viewership.

    I remain hopeful that we may yet get a viable third party. I figure 4 more years of mismanagement by the two mafias may yet bring about real change. Probably not though.

    Given the train wreck we can all see coming I believe the best thing that ever happened to Romney is getting defeated. I feel nothing but pity for the President as the next 4 years will ruin his legacy.

    Anyone who really is bothered by region locking knows enough to rip DVD's so the damn region is irrelevant. I bought a bluray player 2 years ago and have used it a grand total of once. I wansn't thinking when I bought it or it would have stayed at the store. I guess I was so excited by buying an HDTV that I just got carried away. Right afterwards I bought a Western Digital HD unit and I never watch optical media anymore. I rent Bluray discs occasionally, rip them and take them back and watch the movies when I feel like it. The people still using optical media really don't know or care about regions.

  25. Re:Screen size on Google's Nexus 4, 7, 10 Strategy: Openness At All Costs · · Score: 1

    I disagree but the that's the point. Everyone has different needs and desires. I need a 5" screen. The smallest I can tolerate is 4.3 but 5 is perfect compromise for me. Obviously some want or need something smaller. This is simple enough as it's easy to make different models in different sizes. A 5" screen is about the biggest I can carry in my pocket and frankly anything bigger is too big for me to use with one hand. That's why I don't use a 7" tablet instead.
