  1. Re:This is nothing... on NARA Goes Online · · Score: 1

    ...In America we have something called "modified-laissez-faire-capitalism," where we get to keep most of the money we make, you seal eating socialist.

  2. Re:Leadership on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 1

    Not to mention this bizzare use of the word "ramen" all the time. Conspiracy!

    I've just consumed three hot-dogs.

    When Clinton was bombing Baghdad the day of his impeachment, where were the protesters? Where were the demonstractions? Where where the cries of "career politician?"

    The liberals sure love to be cynical when it's not their administration anymore.

    Unfortunately, you can kiss your Karma goodbye. God forbid you should write a post which defends an unpopular position.

    People love conspiracy theories, and would rather put blame on an elite cabal of secret and evil persons, than believe that everyone around them is capable of evil.

    How is this "insensitive"? The guy should be able (and is, for that matter) to dedicate his books to whoever the hell he wants. Who is he hurting, really?

  7. Re:Windows on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    Why not just run msconfig and remove it all from the startup?

    why have a sig at all anyway? It's not required is it? oh damn! now I have one. nevermind.

    Product branding, baby. Hooray for mnemonic devices!

    Boo hoo, you were trolled. What a baby.

  10. Re:Sometimes it's OK, sometimes not on Cheating Online Gamers · · Score: 1

    This is somewhat similar to the game Bullshit.

  11. Re:Mandatory correct labels on Senator Calls For Copy-Protection Tags · · Score: 1

    According to this Wired article, Phillips is in the process of trying... but the bottom line really is, if the record companies were forced to remove the little CD-logo-thing from albums, would anyone notice and/or care?

    I think you all give too much credit to the average consumer.

    Wow, you are referring to Microsoft as M$. I wish I had thought of that. How clever of you.

  13. Re:This can already be done!!! on Presenting The CDR-ROM · · Score: 1

    At least this story has a somewhat broader appeal than "Linux Something Driver Version 1.00032 Released." But it's not just you.

  14. Re:Hardware emulation on Retro-Computing with FPGAs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    fuck MAMEs! All the computer game industry is, is a patriarchal construct meant to provide surrogate women for men who never have a chance at getting real pussy in their life. We can no longer be held for responsible for the socially inept! All of the "fake" women (ie Laura Croft)serve as mastrabatory outlets for erect penises either too latent to find the gay anus they really desire or too foul for real cunt. Down with video games! Down with opression!

    I just heard a radio report that Billy Joel is dead... what a tragedy. This is really offtopic, but he was such a great musician. He will be missed by all.

  17. Re:No taste = no diseases? on The Taste of Pain · · Score: 1

    I've been a middle class white suburbanite since I was born, and when am dumped I feel tragic and the weight and pain of the world is upon my shoulders. Life is relative... ergo our observations are personal and relative.

  18. Re:I think on Google buys Pyra Labs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not to sound as though I were attacking your post, but this kind of thinking strangely reminds me of the pro-linux-open-source-zealotry that runs rampant around here. We don't have any idea whatsoever what they intend to do with this, and yet it is beyond reproach?

    I'm going to make a guess... that this will be a horrible waste of money.

    "Google good, four-legs baaad."

  19. Re:just me or .. on Google buys Pyra Labs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No, you're missing my point entirely. Google is not just starting out, and Google is not "another upstart portal wannabe."

    Yahoo, as an example of a portal site, uses Google as a web-searching tool. Frankly, I don't see why Google would want to move towards being a portal site, when that niche is already filled by a number of quality sites.

  20. Re:just me or .. on Google buys Pyra Labs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They don't offer free email, local weather reports, horiscopes, stock quotes, instant messaging, or website hosting.

    Yahoo is obviously the quintisential "portal site" and Google will never approach them in the level of functionality to the ordinary user.

    My searches are diluted by Mr. T Ate My Balls, Mahir Cagri, all your base are belong to us, and worthless Flash animations.

    There's a lowest common denominator problem here, and blogs are not really the only ones to blame...

  22. Re:I think on Google buys Pyra Labs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As though you couldn't already search within a particular domain using Google.

    Look, Google is a great search engine, but that doesn't mean that everything it touches turns to gold. It's not "the next big thing," nor is it a silly buzzword that you can bander around randomly.

  23. Re:Evolution of human? on Squirrels Evolving to Suit Global Warming? · · Score: 1

    We don't do this.

    Yep. Eyeglasses, contact lenses, and corrective surgery. One could argue that our gene pool is becoming "worse," from a hunter-gatherer standpoint.

  24. Re:causality or correlation? on Squirrels Evolving to Suit Global Warming? · · Score: 1

    Journalists normally twist the meaning and content of scientific reports to make a nice headline

    The New Scientist is a habitual offender; most articles referenced to there from /. are hyperbole and sensationalism.

  25. Re:do not call lists. on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    There are a number of organizations which are exempt from telemarketing laws: banks/credit card companies, phone companies, non-profit organizations (including and especially political parties), and buisinesses which have established a "prior relationship" with you.

    IMHO, demonstrating the futility of legislative measures where a technological one would suffice. (Like those legendary phone-phreaking boxes that supposedly destroyed modems)

    I love the smell of an auto-dialer catching fire in the morning.
