  2. Re:Hurrah! [Begs the Question RANT] on SCO Loses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hey, we're just trying to protect the English language from uneducated fucktards like you. It's a noble cause. Which begs the question: is this a correct use of "fucktards"?

    Maybe if more than the same 15% of the people actually go vote instead of just sitting around taking shots at the president and bitching about the results, maybe some change will come about. And I don't care who you vote for, Republican, Democrat, Libetarian, NAMBLA candidate, Mickey Mouse, whatever, just go excercise your rights! Geez, I served so people can USE their rights.

    That's the same thing my boss said about Linux 4 years ago. Now over 1/2 of the Enterprise relies on Linux.

    Wow is so massive that this community is much larger, more multifaceted, and has more sub-communities.
    And back in the day, you had to physically meet in order to play, with everyone in the same room or crowded around a map/gameboard if the DM bothered to go so far. You would (probably) never end up playing with someone on the other side of the planet. Most D&D games ended up being a few friends and friends of friends.

    No need for a penis there are plenty of female sex-offenders they just don't get the press that the males do.
    Of course not. If you are a guy in high school and have a smokin' hot teacher that wants to do you, are you really going to call the cops? Or will you call all of your friends and tell them you are banging a hottie?

    Presumably this will replace the twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.

  18. Re:The more vulnerabilities the better? on PowerPoint ZeroDay Vulnerability Exploited · · Score: 1

    Of course people want compatibility. But they also want security.
    Nonsense. Most BAs couldn't ive a crap about security, and couldn't understand if you drew them a pretty picture using all 64 of their Crayolas. All they know is Power Point is what they know how to use and that is therefore the only tool for the job.

    Using MS office is a tradeoff: more compatibility, less security. When the tradeoff gets less comfortable, rational people will reconsider their options.
    Compatibility? With what? Other Office products? Office is one of the most closed formats I can think of.

    I agree with you w98. I've used Vonage for about 2 years now and alos love it. I have had a couple of occurances where calls do not come in but can be placed.
