    Winmodems are crap -- they are not modems.

    Good to know they don't suck.

    Too bad they're crap.

    "Dr. Scriba was so kind to read my "translation back to English". Though some of my phrases differed from Mr. Gates original speak (due to "polishing"), he regarded my text as semantically essentially correct, with one exception: I mistranslated "Maschinenstuermer" as "machine addict" but the correct translation is "Luddite". Apologies for this serious fault :-)" http://www.cs.tut.fi/~leopold/Gates.html

    I tire of this falacy.

    People who hold similar occupations or hobbies don't make them a "class." If you find yourself in a underrepresented minority of some sort, you have to concede that it was your choice to join this minority, or to even believe such a minority exists.

    Unless, for example, you're aluding to the "class of people" which can no longer afford to run around in BMWs just because they can write "hello world" anymore.

    Very very rarely will you ever see an engineer or scientist turned politician

    Then why are you an engineer?

  7. Re:Great games... if only they were for PS2 on Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005 · · Score: 1

    I like the hardware, but not the software... but only because I already have Windows. I'm getting very tired of these "For this particular operating system only" programs.

    Further, where am I going to put two more computers and how am I going to hook it all together? I have two computers plugged in now (linux is the other) and I don't have much free space on my desk (a desk).

    Why can't we have one operating system to rule them all?
