  1. Re:Lack of judicial experience used to be common on Senate Confirms Elena Kagan's Appointment To SCOTUS · · Score: 1

    Most useful degree you can get? Not if you want to find a job, which I am assuming is why you went to college in the first place.

  2. Re:Does it matter? on Senate Confirms Elena Kagan's Appointment To SCOTUS · · Score: 1

    You mean like how Al the assh*le Franken got elected?

  3. Goatse Posters on The Hell Known As Internet Screening Services · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hope all you bastards are happy. First time I saw that image, I had nightmares for a month.

  4. Re:Nothing new here... on Game Journalist May Have Been Fired Over Negative Review · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps, Magazines have advertisements that appeal to their readers. Why target a user base of 3-5%?

  5. Re:-1 Flamebait on Ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina Hired By Fox News · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yep, I am sure they are all dancing in the streets with their rating trailing Fox's.

  6. Impact on Enthusiasts? on Dell to use AMD Chips in Desktop PCs · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Although the article mentioned that AMD is increasing its capacity to produce chips, I have to wonder how supplying Dell is going to impact the little guy. Are there enough chips to go around for everyone? Will NewEgg and others start having shortages? The Enthusiast has always been in AMD's corner. With Intel releasing its new processors that run circles around AMD offerings and the potential for there to be shortages in the after-market, I have to wonder if AMD is trading one customer base for another.

  7. Re:Microsoft Could Wipe Out Most Piracy on MPAA, Microsoft Testify Piracy Funds Terrorism · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And if GM gave thier cars away, auto thefts would be wiped out immediately.

  8. Michael on MPAA, Microsoft Testify Piracy Funds Terrorism · · Score: -1, Troll

    Michael, your anti-Microsoft fervor is getting boring and a bit far fetched.

  9. Re:Most complicated stunt ever? on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 1

    A stunt is not the same as a film sequence. "Most complicated film sequence"

  10. Slashdot & Flash Ad's on Flash and Open Source · · Score: 1

    Why don't you ask Taco what slashdot (or their AD agency) is using to create the Flash Ad's no playing here.

    Afterall, we all know they would use nothing but open source software.

  11. Re:Will it work? I think so. on Everquest Coming To the PS2 · · Score: 1

    Aye, My figure was US sales only.

  12. Will it work? I think so. on Everquest Coming To the PS2 · · Score: 1

    If Sony can get just 10% of its installed PS2 userbase to play the game, they will have over 800,000 players.That's not too shabby, and nearly twice the current PC player base.

  13. Re:That's it? on Feds to Publish Public Comments on MS Settlement · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My guess is that the majority of happy/satisfied (they do exist, you know) Microsoft/Windows users didn't bother to write, while all of the angry linux zealots fired off diatribes.

  14. Intro Lies on Linux & the Business Desktop · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Today, the vast majority of document exchange is electronic; the paperless office has (more or less) been achieved"

    The paperless office is no where near being achieved.

    "will allow businesses to rid themselves of an older, less functional technology (proprietary software)"

    More crap. How is MS Office less functional than StarOffice?

    "and we're doing business just as well (and arguably better) than before."

    what proof do you have of this?

    This who article has about as much credience as a paper on Microsoft's site extolling the virtues of their products.

  15. Re:Weinberger vs the facts? on The End of Cyber BS · · Score: 1

    And he is different from Katz exactly how?

  16. Re:What have horses done to this? on Norrath Economic Report Now Available · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How many people do you see with horses? not many is the right answer... Other than the top of the line horse who has a fast run speed, horses offer no benefit other than being a status symbol (look, I have cash to waste!), most players would rather spend their cash on gear improvements or sell their extrap plat on playerauctions.com.

    I don't believe horse have taken much plat out of circulation... at least not as much as Sony hoped.

    hacked also means without authorization... which he had none.

  18. He got off easy... on McOwen Case Settled · · Score: 2, Informative

    He didn't own the computers... they weren't his property. He had no right to install anything on those PC's that wasn't related to work. He got off easy.

  19. Re:Carly Fiona screwed Lucent too on Fiorina Says HP May Get Out Of The PC Business · · Score: 1

    You could also make an arguement that Carly had a lot to do with Lucents current problems. She likes to finance the sales of goods in-house. when the dot-coms fell apart, Lucent ate those loses.

    She has shown me nothing to indicate she is a good manager, leader, or innovative thinker. Affirmative action at work.

  20. Re:Now a movie on The End of The X-Files · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not only willing, he is already signed up for it... aside from this being disclosed in the article (which you obviously didnt read), it has been a known fact soon after the first movie premiered.

  21. Not yet on The Drone War · · Score: 1



    Having a drone drop a satellite guided bomb is a bit different from machines that can think and fight for themselves in real time. I think you are reaching here.

  22. Re:Over maybe in the investment sense? on Linux During The .Com Crash · · Score: 1

    OK, agreed. But a profitable quarter does not make a company profitable... and I must be missing the positive cashflows :)

    Cheers!

  23. Re:Over maybe in the investment sense? on Linux During The .Com Crash · · Score: 1

    From your link...

    "The company, based in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park, would see an operating loss of $2 million in the fourth quarter, Thompson said without elaborating."

    Again I ask, where is the profit? Did you follow the link in my original post? See those numbers? Check out the Cash(out)flows? Adjusted Income meeans nothing. Look at the declining revenue. What a sinking ship.

    Profitable my arse.

    Where?

  25. Re:Maybe it's just me on Power Water Cooling Kits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To me, it is more of sound issue then overclocking issue. If I can lower the sound of my PC, I'm in. No 120,000,000 RPM fan whirling away on the processor should help.
