  1. Hold on there just a second! on Debian Installer Beta 3 Usability Review · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't making Linux easy defeat the purpose?

    Not to be a troll (I use linux myself, gentoo) but... what is so special about easy to use GUI installers? I think Microsoft and RedHat have been doing it for quite some time.

  2. Awww!!! on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1

    How cute! It has a little handle for when I take it to a picnic.

  3. Re:I cannot read any further... on Need a Job? Move to India · · Score: 1

    meh, was = at
    Couldn't eat the whole deli this time :/

  4. I cannot read any further... on Need a Job? Move to India · · Score: 1

    How did India, in 15 years, go from being a synonym for massive poverty to the brainy country that is going to take all our best jobs? Answer: good timing, hard work, talent and luck.

    Bullshit. Go take a look on eLance.com. What American is able to work for 8 bucks per hour? My lunch was a local deli cost me $7.40.

    How can an American compete with Indians? They cannot. If the cost of living her was that of India, it would be a totally different story.

  5. Got me thinking... on ESR's Open Letter to McNealy: Set Java Free! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe I can ask Microsoft to open up the Windows source...

    Silly me! Nevermind ;D

  6. pure bs on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've checked out this site in the past. Good teachers get good reviews. Bad teachers get bad reviews. Perhaps we should get rid of movie and book critics. The fact is, this teacher was most probably an asshole and deserved the reviews he got.

  7. Oh shit... on Worst Terms of Service Ever · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do not download or copy images from this website!<--- In CAPS too :o

    Can anyone recomend a good lawyer?

  8. manually pulled maybe? on SCO Offline · · Score: 1

    I checked last night at about 10PM EST and it was gone. I suppose there could of been enough people to the east of me to take it down but perhaps they took it down themselves.

    And just to make sure it stays down a bit longer, throw one of those links in to the post :thumbs up:

  9. i thought... on FreeBSD 5.2 Review · · Score: -1, Troll

    bsd is dying

  10. good move on Microsoft Agrees Settlement Over MikeRoweSoft.com · · Score: 1

    Some PR guy at Microsoft probably said, "Choose your battles, why take a 17 year old to court? Give him an Xbox and become the good guys"

    Smart move on Microsoft's part

  11. Re:No kidding... on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    You're right, I'm bullshitting everone. I'm a complete and utter liar.

    The spacecraft had BEEN in development already...

  12. If memory serves me... on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    I recall speaking to pal whose father worked for Nasa (USAF now)... He was on a project for a spacecraft which was to replace the current fleet. Bush cut funding and the project was canned. NOW he wants to promote space interest? According to the scheduled completion of the spacecraft it would have been in service BEFORE Columbia was lost.

  13. dsfsdfsdfds on No More Leap Second? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Boy, this looks familiar... Earth Travel On Time, Again

  14. yeah... on Free Software In Iran, KDE In Farsi · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Free software... but no one left to use it :/ (check cnn.com fools)

  15. It's the terrorists! on Time's Up: 2^30 Seconds Since 1970 · · Score: 1

    Time runs out. H-Bomb crap released or something. Orange alert level.

    It's totally terrorist related ;[ Teh end :(

  16. driving in silence = :'( on Satellite Radio Systems Compared · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not everyone wants to pay for radio, but I guess if you spend enough time listening to it, maybe it's worthwhile.

    For the longest time I thought the same. I began driving recently... Sometimes CDs just get boring (no matter how many you burn xD). Radio at 7am is horrible. There is nothing on besides commercials and Howard Stern (sorry guys, he bores me).

    I see why people are paying for radio now. Had I waited to buy my CD deck I would of gotten an XM tuner instead.

  17. Hmmmm :) on "H-Bomb Secret" Now Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    After all this time, the Progressive article is now online (4Mb pdf).

    No... no it's not online... anymore :/

  19. hype..... on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 1

    I read an article on this at CNN as well and they are like "OMGWTF YOU DIE!" Way to go with hyping it up... It's 1 on the torino scale... and soon to be 0 they say... ...unless, 1 and 0... 10 and it's a conspiracy.....

  20. Hmm.... on 10 Terabit Ethernet By 2010 · · Score: 1

    Oh fuck. I'm the retard. I wish I could edit/delete my retarded posts... *Reads sentence again and again trying to make it sound like it did the first time around* Crappy as phonics for neegroes

  22. Retard. on Flaming Cellphones · · Score: 1

    The incident, which occurred Tuesday, happened after the woman dropped her phone in a music store in central Amsterdam. It caught fire when she picked it up and switched it back on, a police spokesman said.

    I don't know about you guys... but... I don't mess with electronics after they've caught on fire... Especially when it's strapped to a battery with acid that could make face look something like Michael Jackson...

  23. Oh crap... on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    Not only is australlia it's own country-continent... EUROPE too?!?!?! What's next? Asia?

    Will the future of space exploration be dominated by names other than Russia and the USA?

    Apparently not, they need to not blowup first. Yeah yeah, we blew (US) blew up recently but at least we got up. Not to mention we've been up there how many times? Since when?

  24. Re:no real errors in the book on Practical C++ Programming, Second Edition · · Score: 1

    That's awesome to run a class and give bad code out, using "find the bugs" as a cover up for you zero knowledge of the language. That's what hapened in MY class at least...

    Now to write a buggy program and have my users fix it themselves... Boy that makes me think of some game developers now-a-days....

  25. Re:It goes both ways... on Using Spyware to Report Pirates? · · Score: 1

    It is still expensive for some software... 3DSM, near 200 bucks for one year, or 500 for an unlimited license? Don't forget most college students already have to pay for tuition and books.
    My brother, he is 12 years old... For the past several months he has been playing with 3D Studio Max... And he has become very good with it. Good enough that I believe he may of found what he is interested in and will pursue it for years or more to come. He isn't even a highschool student. He can't get the special price. Oh, I could get the highschool price and let him use it but... that's illegal too I bet! I started playing with Photoshop at 11 years, same deal. Now I'm designing web sites and doing PHP... Sure it's mostly personal and the few jobs I've done the money has been put towards equipment to do projects on my own computer but you can bet once I make some real money I'll be licensing all my software. I won't lie, I'm a poor 17 year old. I do not have that kind of money to throw around.
