    Gotcha!

    Actually, I did think he sounded smart. I was impressed.

    I'm sorry you thought I was being insincere. Apparenty, offering a compliment is bad form on /.

    And no, I'm not new here.

    Wow, man, you sound really smart. I'm impressed.

    Perhaps it was a christian upbringing gone bad?

    Perhaps "Mohammed, buddy" wouldn't elicit the same response?

    Maybe it's just a phrase.

    Christ buddy, settle down. A crime? Technically, sure. Serious? Serious enough to call him a terrorist? You're nuts.

  8. Re:Dell corporate on Where Do You Shop for Server Components? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We recently purchased 2 new machines at work (very small company) from Dell. They were a hundred bucks cheaper on the "home" site than on the business site. And they came with free printers.

    We couldn't buy the home ones on our business account. After 2 hours of bitching on the phone, we got the $100 price break, but no printers.

    The machines run great (for a windows machine :), but I'm left with this really slimy feeling in my gut about dell.

    In Jan 2005, when this article was posted, they don't consider BitTorrent a major P2P player?

  17. Online poker? on Pay-As-You-Play MMORPGs? · · Score: 1

    For $20, I got 20 "health points" to start playing online poker a few months ago.

    I've played a ton, and now have a whopping 29 health points. I get into major battles a couple times an hour, a few times to the death, surviving every time. There are elements of both skill and luck, you're free to walk away from any battle with minimal damage.

    You can take as many health points from your enemies as you have yourself. So in a battle with many opponents, wisely applying your spells and demonstrating force can sometimes triple or quad your health.

    I'm not a major player. I don't know the game that well. I hang at the lowest limit tables. I'm still up 9 bucks, and it is Seriously Fun.

    I won't pimp my poker room, but it's the only one that works for OSX.

    No, just people using them as a marketing device. From their about page:

Laurie, Neader's wife, first used Amish.Net from 1997 to market quilts made by Cashton's Amish women.
