  1. Troll on Microsoft Misses Quarterly Revenue Projection · · Score: 1

    I'm not usually this short, but who gives a shit?
    Tell me when they are down period!

  2. Re:Ahh, the good old days.... on 35th Anniversary of Apollo 13 Splashdown · · Score: 1

    How old were you then? I remember some pretty
    damn big boom sticks, and predictions of them
    getting bigger ... and badder. Guess what?
    They all came true. Now guess why science and war are conjoined twins.

  3. Re:Any good info though on ID Theft Made Easy · · Score: 1

    Workplaces are not the only risk areas. In most states if you have only an I.D. card, well that lists your social. Now cash a check and guess what? The clerk writes that SSN# down on the check. Where do we go from here? Anybody working at a supermarket can make their next party off of you. While most times they get caught, please remember the death sentence does not deter, so why should 5-10?

  4. Hostile takeover on e-Scrabble gets Cease and Desist Order from Hasbro · · Score: 1

    From the TFA: "Because the e-Scrabble URL is of no use to you, it should be transferred to Hasbro." Well, that;s one way to do it.

  5. Re:Ian Thorpe... on Olympic Medal Prediction Model · · Score: 1
    "You North Americans are such bad losers."

    Well I'm sure that Canadians are happy that you managed to include them in your +5 Rant, since they are North Americans geographically.

    But since I'm also very sure that you actually meant that U.S. citizens are bad losers I want to make two points clear:

    1# the proper phrase is "sore losers". And yes we are!
    2# Name a country that is not.

    There is an old saying you may want to remember, it goes like this: "Nobody likes a sore loser, but everybody hates a sore winner."

  6. Is it just me on IBM Files for Partial Summary Judgement vs SCO · · Score: 2, Funny

    or does anyone else think SCO should go back to their orignal name of Caldera, since that is Greek for "big hole in the ground" ?

  7. Re:License to copy on Apple Sued in France for iPod Music Royalties · · Score: 1

    Well for god's sake do not drop them in Boston harbor.The last time something like that happened all forking heck broke loose;)

  8. Re:Holy Crap! on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1

    You were probably not even born when the shit hit the fan at Kent State, and then proceeded to get slung all over the place. Believe it or not this is a less shitty country than it was back in the day when you could get the shit shot out of you for having long hair and an American flag sewn on the back of your jacket.

    Sulk all you want about what's on the news, after Baby Bush is gone it'll just be the same old song and dance... political figures change, even the so called Captains Of Industry change. Ford, Getty, Carnegie. Those were the guys that would send the Pinkertons over to your house to frame you, or murder you. True stories are at your local library. No, the only thing that does not change is people writing shit in public forums, thank (insert mythological thingie here) and basic human whateverness(?).But this will work, after all its what got the British kicked out of here.

    NB: No, I never got the shit shot out of me, I just got it stomped out of me. Uhm, hope I put enough shits in there, hate to be left wanting... in a shitty country like this.

  9. Progress is exciting on Lindows' Heavy Hand Leads to Summit Dropouts · · Score: 1

    I, once upon a time, shoehorned a 1.x kernel SlackWare distro onto a Tandy MM10(4MB RAM,130MB HD,512k VRAM); It ran better than the preinstalled DOS/Windows3.1. This was my first computer and I did not know that Microsoft was "Evil" and Linux was "Sacred". All I did was buy a book that interested me and found out that you could do more with a computer than play Doom till your eyeballs fell out.A money hungry CEO who thinks he has found a way to make that money off the backs of people who don't say that much had better watch out for people like me who can"t type non C++ worth a crap,i.e there are still those of us who skirt the edges of the known world.This is the most I have written on the Internet in 10 years.See you next decade.

  10. Re:I wonder on Console Games Sales Beat Out PC · · Score: 1

    now that's a serious reply from a true Bill Gates fan.
