  1. Re:This spot should be saved on Win a Part in the Hitchhiker's Guide · · Score: 1

    Request denied! Proceed with demolition, posthaste!

  2. Re:Speaking of Food Network ... Rachel Ray is hot on The Thermochemical Joy of Cooking · · Score: 1

    Yeah, so it's offtopic, but when she makes those 30-minute meals, that leaves so much extra time for badonka-badonka! You have to appreciate that! Oh, and her thriftiness in being able to eat so well on 40 bucks a day in far away places -- I just can't resist!

  3. Speaking of Food Network ... Rachel Ray is hot on The Thermochemical Joy of Cooking · · Score: 2, Funny
  4. Re:Shared Excel Spreadsheets? on Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    On Excel for Mac (v.X and 2001) you can share workbooks: Tools > Share Workbook. Now, I'm not sure if workbooks can be shared cross platform, but they can definitely be shared amongst users Mac users.

    We moved from shared workbooks to FileMaker Pro about 4 years ago and we spend much less time rebuilding corrupted files.

  5. Warning: Post links to retarded claims! on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 1

    Wow. There's less than 21 songs on every iPod. That's the most ridiculous thing I think I've heard recently. Thanks!

    (Nevermind that iPods don't play only purchased music and iPod owners rip their CDs to their iPods all the time. Just forget that not every iPod owner purchases lossy DRM encumbered tracks for use on their iPods. )

    Just when I thought it couldn't get more ridiculous, I read further down the page that the iTunes per iPod ratio page is authored by a group of retards whose agenda it is to promote "all-you-can-eat" cumpulsory licensing so that they may download as much as they can suck through their pipe!

    If some musicians want to sign the rights to their art away to corporations which then set policy on pricing and distribution, that's their retarded choice. If it were up to me, art would be free and artists would be supported by their communities, but the system we have enslaved ourselves within doesn't allow us to work that way.

  6. Re:I'm the Slime - by Frank Zappa on National TV Turn Off Week · · Score: 1

    Love this tune ... used to cover it in my old band way back in the year 2000.

  7. Re:CBS did not curtail free speech!!! on 2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards · · Score: 1

    The broadcast media is special because of scarcity of the spectrum. A broadcaster's license to operate on a given frequency binds them to serve the public interest.

    Of course, CBS could argue then that its decision serves the public interest because we all know selling beer is more important to the greater good than political discourse.

    So, if selling beer serves the public interest, then everything but a few narrowly defined types of speech (inciting violence, for instance) should also be in the public interest.

    Viacom/CBS is free to exercise its discretion on its print and cable holdings, not its broadcast outlets.

  8. Re:"optimizing" on Apple Releases New Security Update · · Score: 1

    Could it be defragging or prebinding?

  9. Re:Largely irrelevant news... on Pioneer Electron Beam DVD · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Maybe if the Fed paid more on U.S. Interior Dept. Unplugged... Again · · Score: 1

    Public sector employees seem to be well paid. Some tend to become entrenched and lazy over time.

  11. iBooks can span monitors, too on PowerBook Performance for Java Development? · · Score: 1

    With a tiny little (unsuported) firmware patch.

  12. If RIAA education were working.. on RIAA Calls Settlements Proof that Education is Working · · Score: 1

    If RIAA education were working the would be a decrease in file sharing, not settled lawsuits.

    On second thought, perhaps potential revenue in lawsuits is greater than internet distribution.

  13. I heart FUD on Apple Forcing Panther Upgrade for Security Patch · · Score: 1

    Tech Report is full of moronic shit.

  14. Re:It's all about the money. on Court Upholds FCC's 2007 Deadline For Digital TV · · Score: 1

    That's absolutely right.

  15. Re:Pirate TV on Court Upholds FCC's 2007 Deadline For Digital TV · · Score: 1

    Probably won't happen.

    I think the reason the feds are pushing so hard for digital TV is because they want the old spectrum back. I'm sure they have something wonderful planned for the old VHF/UFH bands.

  16. I'd be irritated... on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    I'd be irritated that the poor helpless bastard is wasting the company's excess profit on overpriced training.

  17. Re:Bear with me please. on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    I know it's "pointy haired boss," but sometimes it's more like "poor helpless bastard."

  18. Re:I'll train them on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    "Poor helpless bastard" works, too.

  19. Re:The last of the Apple-based OSX machines? on G5s Start Shipping · · Score: 1

    Silly, troll. There was no 7.4... and it's not Linux, fool!

    Uh-oh, now it's funny. My bad. Yeah, that works.

    Linux-based?! Ha, I didn't even see that.

  22. Re:That box! on G5s Start Shipping · · Score: 1

    If anything like the other Apples on fleaBay, they will bid them up so high that you'd be much better off buying new.

  23. Re:The last of the Apple-based OSX machines? on G5s Start Shipping · · Score: 1

    "Troll" is giving the parent post too much credit. Doesn't even have a good hook. "Retarded" would be much more appropriate moderation. Please add "retarded" to the moderation options!

  24. First and foremost... on The GNU-Darwin World · · Score: 1

    Apple is a first and foremost software company that sells hardware to leverage its software business, at least I've heard it spun that way, too.
