  1. Re:A problem for hardware companies too on Microsoft's Battle For Software Mindshare · · Score: 1

    Well, the EULA on this point is invalid in Europe. Still most people don't buy used software. There just isn't much tradition for it.

  2. Re: I waited for 10 hours on Wii Launches, Sells Out Peacefully · · Score: 1

    Instead of waiting 10 hours, you could have tried freezing yourself

  3. Re:Unsafe is safe, war is peace... on Life Without Traffic Signs · · Score: 1

    Four way stop signs exists in Europe, try driving into the countryside for a while. Usually though since roads are less gridy you more often find 2-way stop signs where one road "wins" by default.

    You know there is an entire programming language designed to manipulate JSON datastructures, a language that quickly pentrating all of the web.

  5. Re:Spare us the uninformed babble, please on Microsoft One Step From World's Greenest Company · · Score: 2

    Or even better don't buy sub-standard software. Hardware very rarely faults, most problem is are due to software.

    So so dumb the MS crap and install Linux.

  6. Amiga on The Rise and Fall of Commodore · · Score: 1

    Amiga 500.

    We will always miss you.

  7. Re:Governments on Corporate Propaganda Still On the News · · Score: 1

    No Microsoft got a slap on the wrist because you had an election at the end of the trial, and the nature of the US elections requires massive amount of money which Microsoft had.

    They didn't have to bully anyone, the bought their way out.

  8. Re:Sex Bad Violence Good on What Really Happened To Ubuntu's Edgy Artwork? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most people have never had sex profoundly change a relationship.
    You know why?
    Because they don't have relationships without sex!

    Only scared teenagers do, and when the hormons gets the better of them, and they always do, they will have sex, wether their parents want it or not, and if they are not prepared for it they will not be prepared, and then it leads to undesired consequences (teen pregnancy).

  9. Re:NDISWrapper on Code Execution Bug In Broadcom Wi-Fi Driver · · Score: 1

    No. There is a new one for broadcom wireless. It's called bcm43xx

  10. Re:NDISWrapper on Code Execution Bug In Broadcom Wi-Fi Driver · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is such a driver in the most recent Linux kernels, but it still uses firmware extracted from Broadcom Windows drivers. So if the bug is in the firmware, it could even affect broadcom native linux drivers.

  11. Re:Kiss your career goodbye on Did Humans Get Their Big Brains From Neanderthals? · · Score: 1

    I've heard suggested that men have bigger brains than women. I wonder who many have been fired for that idea...

    Ha, just kidding, dell is great, really.

    No they are not.

  13. MOD PARENT UP on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    wish I had mod points

  14. Re:Agree on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but a person smart enough to realise he is too uninformed. Is better informed and smarter than 90% of the moron who DO actually vote.

    I would much rather have a country run by people who know they are uninformed than people who think they know everything.

    Staying home because you dont know all the fact is the way to let the religious fanatics and all the other nutcases win.

  15. Re:Plant billions of trees on A Sunshade In Space To Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Yes, but unfortunately it wont work as the trees only consume CO2 at ground level, and usually not in the areas where all the excess CO2 is produced.

  16. Re:Huh? on IE7 Released As High-Priority Update · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes. People on drugs were downloading IE7 voluntarily, now Microsoft release it for real, forcing people to upgrade.

    Dude, you can even have audio previews...

  18. Re:Long Live Windows 2000, I guess on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 1

    You mean you can't install Windows XP without reformatting the disk?

    Damn, another reason not to upgrade.

    Not a bad idea, you could always rearrange them to the right order using a dictionary.

  21. MOD PARENT UP on Bush Signs Bill Enabling Martial Law · · Score: 1

    Nothing is more important with an election around the corner

  22. Re:What source is this? on US Slips Again In Freedom of the Press Ranking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe because the Daily Show is a more reliable source of truthy news than Fox News.

  23. Re:The Netherlands on US Slips Again In Freedom of the Press Ranking · · Score: 1

    But notice the contrast with Denmark which got a lower rating because a few islamists had threatened some reporters. They hadn't even murdered anyone. This rating system seems random _at best_

  24. Re:Perspective on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 1

    GDP and resources are just two numbers of the same thing. The more money you earn (GPD), the more you can buy (resources).

    Yes, this mean that for the US to user a smaller number of the worlds resources, you would have to be either poorer, or the rest of the world richer.

  25. Re:Come on... lets rally and beat this number on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 3, Insightful

    An insignificant amount. Now airconditioning in every american home consumes _a lot_ of power.
