    Hey everyone, my name is Bill Gates. I just wanted to let everyone here know that if you develop your new software for Windows Lower^h^h^hnghorn, we'll protect your software from piracy with strong DRM. We'll make sure those nasty pirates can't change their system date, unless we say so.

  3. Re:Lost Cause on Savebetamax.org National Call-in Day · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    From the wiki article,

    The dictator Adolf Hitler rose to power as leader of a political party, the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP for short). Germany during this period is also referred to as Nazi Germany. Adherents of Nazism were called Nazis. Nazism has been outlawed in modern Germany, although tiny remnants, known as Neo-Nazis, continue to operate in Germany and abroad

    Hitler called his party the Socialist Workers' Party

    Give $1000 to the wealthy...

    Wait a minute, didn't you mean take $1000 less from the wealthy. The government doesn't "give" tax cuts. It's a matter of "taking" less. Saying that the government gave you a $1000 tax cut is like saying that after a theif robbed you at gunpoint, he gave you back $20.

  8. Re:No. on Insurance Companies Try Out Auto Black Boxes · · Score: 1
    No, what we need to do to get insurance costs under control is regulate the lawsuit business. The problem is all the lawsuits in the world haven't improved the quality of health care one bit - just increased the cost of malpractice insurance immensely, which gets passed onto us as health insurance premiums, uncovered procedures, and high copayment percentages. I'm all for the fact that if a doctor screws something up seriously, there should be consequences, but I think the dollar amounts need to be limited for the greater good of society, to make health care affordable again.

    I heard that Bush just promised to work on this if he is elected to a second term. Normally I don't plug for politicians on /., but can't help but mention that John Edwards, John Kerry's Vice Presidential candidate, made lots of $$$$ himself by sueing physicians for malpractice, alledging they caused cerebral palsies in children when all the evidence points to the disease being caused by genetics.

    I bet 50% of the people who vote for bush are voting because they are afraid and think Bush will protect them.

    I bet 50% of the people who vote for Bush are voting because Kerry wants to make friends with terrorists instead of destroying them.

    I bet 50% of the people who vote for Bush vote because Kerry would have us be nice to the terrorists so they don't hate us so much.

    I bet 50% of the people who vote for Bush because the veterans who served with Kerry in Vietnam say that he can't be trusted to lead the country.

    I bet 50% of the people who vote for Bush are voting because Kerry would turn over our national sovereignty to organizations like the UN, which allowed Saddam Hussein to enrich himself with the thoroughly corrupt oil-for-food program.
