    His term is not even over and he's already the worst since Reagan?

    He is the worst president since Reagan and he seems to be working really hard at being the worst president ever.

    If Gore or Kerry are the only two people the Democrats can muster for '04, you better pray a lot harder.

    Yeah...cause the guy who beat him the last time will have such a hard time doing it again after he's had a chance to demonstrate his ineptitude.

    The only thing republicans have going for them is their (admittedly) superior foreign policy. Of course, when you're unemployed because of massive lay-offs, you're not going to be all that concerned with whatever boogiemen Bush or Adolph Hitler...oops, I mean Donald Rumsfeld, have come up with lately.

    Wow, that was quite the write up.

    I'd only say that it's more likely that Democrats would appeal the drug laws and have Playboy photshoots.

    Not that, I as a republican would enjoy a nice "Women of the White House" spread.

    Don't you mean repeal?

    Not that, you as a republican, can really take the moral high ground. After all, you did vote for the worst president since Reagan...oh wait, you probably voted for him too!

  3. Re:Why is Bush wasting all that money? on RIAA, MPAA Instigate U.S. Naval Academy Raid · · Score: 1
    This quote comes from Stephen Colbert who reacted to a question about the future of the United States:

    "This is how I see the next four years playing out:

    On inauguration day, George W. Bush will take his oath of office and assume the mantle of the leader of the free world, restoring his father's fallen dynasty. And to ensure his legitimacy, Chief Justice Rehnquist will anoint his brow with chrism. Doves will be released and lambs will be slaughtered. Bush will mount a golden chariot. Then, with his agent squire, Dick Cheney, holding a laurel wreath over his master's furrowed brow, the man who would be boy-king will take his destined throne. And, in a much-needed show of strength, he will drive his enemies before him like leaves before a storm. He'll make whores of our wives and slaves of our children. He will appoint a horse to the Senate! He will have the oceans whipped for daring to turn their tides without his leave. And while gangs of willowy young boys rub his body with perfumes from Persia and the fat rendered from the corpses of the persecuted poor, all about the fevered crowds will stare worshipfully at their unknowing, unseeing, girlishly-giggling idiot emperor's head. End of Day 1..."

  6. wtf? on FSF Issues GNU/Linux Name FAQ · · Score: 1
    For a while we tried the name "LiGNUx", which combines the words "GNU" and "Linux". The reaction was very bad.

    I can't imagine why the reaction would be very bad... maybe because you're trying to rename Linux to LIGNUCKS? Which sounds kinda like Lignuts. Which then leads to Licknuts. And that's just no good.

    -snip stupid crap-

    The point being, asiide from me being a sarcastic twit, is that people are getting use to XP and it's 'tarded telletubies interface. They, as all smart developers, are giving people (the consumers) what they want.

    And, to me, it looks like the "XP Team" copied Gnome - Gnome had rounded-large-colorfull icons well before XP did.

    And if they did? Personally, I don't really care what the interface LOOKS like as long as I can see what I need to see to get done what I want to get done, then who cares? I'm not one of those drones that spends hours tweaking their desktop... so what difference does it make to me?

  9. Crackolade on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1
    This is what we did on debate trips (stop snickering!)

    To make Crackolade you need:

    1 of those big tubs of Countrytime Lemonade

    1 motel room ice bucket enough ice to fill it 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full

    1 motel room coat hanger

    Pour half of the Countrytime Lemonade powder into the bucket.

    Pour the ice on top until it is about 1/2 to 3/4 full.

    Fill almost to the top with water

    Stir with coat hanger until powder will not disolve anymore

    And there you have it! Crackolade. I'm not sure if it was nutrisweet poisoning or what, but it would your heart beat so hard you could actually see your chest bulge slightly. I've stayed up over 50 consecutive hours with this stuff, Have fun!

    Oh, brilliant. The least security sensitive wireless networking application imaginable and somebody's "wireless = security concerns" reflex still kicks in!

    security is still an issue for non-wireless networks but because this new uh...protocall (I guess that's not the right word) is the most secure wireless uhh...protocall (I really should look this up...) it's somewhow not an issue (despite the obvious attacks [the static DoS attack being unique to wireless networks, btw] described above)?

    because once they move past gaming, security will be a real issue for wireless LANs as spoofing would be a fairly trivial matter.

    That and a someone particularly mallicious could create a DoS attack by broadcasting junk packets at high power.

    It's odd how sometimes mods become more popular than the original games. Try playing Tribes 1. Dozens of Renegades servers. Dozens of Annihilation servers. Dozens of Ultra servers. Maybe one dozen base servers.
    One word: Shifter. Possibly the best mod for any game...ever. If the Tribes 2 version hadn't sort of crapped out, I'd wager that Tribes 2 might have done a little better about keeping players.

    Are you crazy? Everyone knows that music didn't exist before lollapalooza, other than maybe cavemen beating on logs with sticks and howling at the moon.

    The RIAA can get down on it's hands and knees and blow me while I download music all day that I will NEVER pay for.

    Moral Relativism is reality. Companies cannot be expected (on a moral level, legally it's whatever we want) to charge any less than they can get away with, nor should people be expected (again morally only) not to pay as little (or nothing) for something they want.
