  1. Re:So naive on Verified: Record-breaking Pitfall! Run · · Score: -1

    Pink polo shirts with a "popped" collar are still around and sadly enough I have heard Cyndi Lauper at parties recently.

    As for Reagan, yeah my gen missed him as president, but we did get to see him go senile before his death.
    as for 512k, my generation can plead ignorance and say we don't use the metric system :p

  2. Re:Planimals? Planetimals? on Planets Without Stars or Mini-Solar Systems? · · Score: -1

    I think a term that Jack and Jenny Sixpack would understand better would be Helio-less Orbiting Mass Objects

    Think 'homos'

  3. Short Answer on Who Controls the Internet? · · Score: -1

    I do!

    Get off my internet you dang kids!

  4. Re:From the reviews I must conclude on Pirates Promise Improved Version of DaVinci Code · · Score: -1

    The point of the book was entertainment! The timing of the book is that of a movie(I have not seen it, but I hear the opposite is true as well). It was a quick read and pretty fascinating, It was also the first fiction novel that captured me to the finish since "The Sicilian".

    I seriously doubt that he is "one of the worst writers ever" if you could mention character's names in his book and strike a conversation with half the people off the street.

    You "get like this" because you think that you can criticize a popular work with your arogance of reading two previous Dan Brown works.

  5. Re:Organizations behave like this...(EXPEL HIM!) on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: -1

    They should expel him!
    Miller is not delicious!

  6. Re:Holy Crap! on Fly-by-Wireless Plane Takes to the Sky · · Score: 0, Funny

    Unless you generalize about white men.

    This point reminds me of a diversity meeting at college where our female african-american (tridadian to be exact) resident director said that the students at the school didn't understand racism because we were priviledged white men. I brought up the point that she was generalizing about my background and feeding a stereotype.

    Then I went to lacrosse practice (: D)

  7. Re:US Education Standards on Americans Are Scarce in Top Programming Contest · · Score: -1

    Along the same lines, I was at an American University and a group of the foriegn students were getting A's in some of the harder senior level computer science courses.

    On a side note they didn't graduate on time because a professor discovered they were cheating on assignments.

    It just goes to show that sweeping generalizations don't really hold enough value to shake a stick at

  8. Re:How much is how much? on Chinese Company Produces $150 Linux PC · · Score: -1

    Basically, how much is $150 to the average chinese citizen?

    about 600 beers

  9. Re:Ah poo on First 802.11n Products Breaking Out · · Score: -1

    With the commotion of the 802.11n task force, you will probably die in peace before it is actually ratified.

    IIRC they were supposed to have one draft in November of 2004. Instead they had two different camps of people yelling at each other and complaining alot. I doubt taking bits and pieces of each wwise and tgnsync is going to stop much of the commotion.

    I know I am going to avoid .11n products until I can see interoperable products that use different chipsets and make good use of the .11e(QoS) standard.

  10. Functional Fibs on Fibs - Fibonacci-based Poetry · · Score: -1

    Sure you could do all that, but you will be audited.

  14. Re:Higher security? on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: -1

    IIRC Hollow wooden doors are only allowed to be used as interior doors because of fire codes.

  15. Vegas Odds on Golf in Space · · Score: -1

    3 to 1 that the golf ball hits my car on re-entry.

  16. Obesity Vaccine on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: -1
    From TFA
    Researchers now must:
    * identify the viruses that cause human obesity
    McDonalds and inactivity
    * devise a screening test to identify people who are infected
    Climbing a flight of stairs without loosing your breath
    * develop a vaccine
    Get off the couch and exercise.

    Joking aside, I used to be obese and found it alot easier to place blame of reasons why I was, and alot harder to commit to the simple solution of excersize!
  17. No Chuck Norris?!?! on Who is Your Hero, Gates or Jobs? · · Score: -1

    Seriously, Gates and Jobs may give alot of money to combat diseases and such, but Chuck Norris's blood is the cure-all.

  23. Thomas Midgley and the world's greatest blunders on Sun Storms Deplete Ozone, Too · · Score: -1
