    Neither are Pixar films.

  3. Re:No on Pixar's Next Three Films Will Be Sequels · · Score: 0

    Sequels don't HAVE to be bad. I think Pixar will do a good job.

  5. Re:learning for education's sake? on Kids Score 40 Percent Higher When They Get Paid For Grades · · Score: 1

    That's what an after school job is for.

  6. Re:Education's sake? on Kids Score 40 Percent Higher When They Get Paid For Grades · · Score: 1

    As an engineering major, I could run off and co-op making 5-6x minimum wage. How people put themselves through college flipping burgers is beyond me....

    Lots of overtime.

    And picking up a second job helped also.

    Of course with 2 jobs, taking classes full time and graduating in 4 years was out of the question.

  7. Re:Awesome! Wait, Children's Protection? on Internet Tax Approved By Louisiana House · · Score: 1

    Stop confusing the facts with real facts!

    The moral of the story is,

    And if you don't have an outlet to plug it into?

    Not everyone has a house with a garage. Especially in high density housing.

    He would be invited to a party?

  13. Re:Scary on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How about, when you have a job and get paid the same no matter what you do, you don't try very hard and industry stagnates.

    Like union dominated US car industry?

  14. Re:Scary on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seems to be working fairly well so far.

    That's because the US is a Republic, not a Democracy.

    Fill out the form with what? the random fake caller ID?

  16. Re:Copying between servers is NOT backing up on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    It's not that hard to walk out of the server room with a tape in your pocket once a week or even once a month.

    Better than having nothing in the end.

  17. Re:So, they had NO backups? on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    'Backed up between two servers'... that's not what a backup is.

    Yeah, it's called a fail over server.

    Someone is not to bright.

  18. Re:One thing is for certain... on Apple Rumored To Want To Buy Twitter · · Score: 4, Funny
    Yeah, but you only got the lonely losers who read Twitter.

    So as the parent said, 43 is too old for enlistment.

  20. Re:Digging their own graves? on Disney-Hulu Deal Is Ominous For YouTube · · Score: 1

    Would it though, if they had to cancel your favorite show because there just isn't enough money to justify making it?

    They already cancel the good shows.

  21. Re:I honestly don't get it on Quake Live Dev Says Mac and Linux Are "Top Priority" · · Score: 1, Funny

    That's not really the same fashion. You install Flash once to play all Flash games on the internet; you don't have to install a new browser plugin for each specific game.

    Requires you install Flash 5

    Requires you install Flash 6

    Requires you install Flash 7

    Requires you install Flash 8

    Requires you install Flash 9

    Requires you install Flash 10

    If it was designed from the start to be cross-platform compatible

    Funny, Windows programmers always say that. But before you can port their code you always have to rewrite all their crap Windows specific code.
