  1. Re:Shoehorn on Java vs .NET · · Score: 1

    I'm curious... what was the point of switching platforms two times?

  2. Re:The True MSN telling on How Objective Is Microsoft's Search? · · Score: 1

    The "link:" function is rarely accurate. Try it with a smaller site. It doesn't work.

  3. Re:Simple. on One Worldwide Power Grid · · Score: 1

    I'd liked to see you affect the entire east coast's natural gas connection with a single backhoe.

  4. Re:a few thoughts... on One Worldwide Power Grid · · Score: 1

    Solar and wind generation would definately help prevent power outages, as long as it's sunny and windy when we really need it. That sounds like a GREAT investment in reliability.

  5. Re:Crappy Nextel phones on Verizon Rolling Out Nextel-Like PTT Service · · Score: 1

    I know, I want more choices that are more affordable.

  6. Crappy Nextel phones on Verizon Rolling Out Nextel-Like PTT Service · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sweet, maybe this will inspire Nextel to start offering phones designed in the 21st century.

  7. Re:And California? on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Because he lied about the budget to get elected and ran a great mud-slinging campaign, which Californians happen to love.

  8. Re:What the hell does politics have to do with thi on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    That's funny... you're so paranoid about government misinformation that you would rather trust a post on Slashdot from a supposed "powerplant employee".

  9. Re:Uhm, right... on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 1

    Read my sentence again slowly, perhaps out loud.

  10. Re:Patents. on Nutch: An Open Source Search Engine · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Depends... are you the one standing on the top or the bottom?

  11. Re:Hook it up to slashdot! on Nutch: An Open Source Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Piece of cake, but you'd probably have to make an investment in to some proprietary software, which is forbidden here.

  12. Re:Uhm, right... on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 1
    Nice try.

    1. Canada is not North America nor is it "most" of North America.

    2. The IEEE does not have legal jurisdiction over the english language.

  13. Re:Displacing Animals on An Enlightened Look at an Over-Lighted World · · Score: 1

    So you live in an inner-city slum and you want everyone else to be miserable with you, right?

  14. Re:Displacing Animals on An Enlightened Look at an Over-Lighted World · · Score: 1

    If these people are against development, I wonder where they live.

  15. Re:This is wrong, the RIAA is getting free lunch! on Universities Mull Official Role In Music Distribution · · Score: 1

    Maybe you suck?

  16. Re:It can easily be abused by unscupulous merchant on Privacy Incursions to Support Price Discrimination · · Score: 1

    They weren't charging you more because they thought you were rich enough to own a Jaguar. They were charging you more because you were dumb enough to buy one in the first place.

  17. Re:It really is that simple. on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 1
    when the government is directly paying for healthcare they have a bigger motivation to keep them in line.

    Yeah, just like how they keep all of those transportation and construction unions in line.

    Streamlining the administration of healthcare? When was the last time you witnessed the government streamline any kind of administration? What a horrible argument.

  18. Re:It really is that simple. on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who's going to go through all that schooling to become a doctor if they don't get paid very much? Who's going to pay for their education? Doesn't matter, as long as it's someone else, right?

  19. Re:It really is that simple. on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    Wow, I must be stupid or something. I am really confused by your comment. Can you clarify?

  20. Re:It really is that simple. on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If everyone took jobs for $28k, who is going to pay for universal healthcare?

  21. Exciting news for me.... on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    I don't live at home anymore... will my parents still get the bill?

  22. Re:Poor fools.. on Canada Splits Local Phone, DSL Services · · Score: 1
    Let me get this straight... you ended up paying almost zero taxes, and you claim that this is your fair share?

    Wow. Your last sentence sums it up.

  23. Re:Poor fools.. on Canada Splits Local Phone, DSL Services · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Isn't it nice to have someone else pay your share of taxes? You won't like it very much when you graduate and you're handing over 50% of your hard-earned income. Over the life of your career, you'll see that you would have rather paid your fair share now.

  24. Re:In other news... on RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    It's not a matter of "killing" file sharing. It's all about inhibiting it. Would you argue that most drivers aren't inhibited at all by speed laws? I haven't been passed by anyone going 120 mph lately.

  25. Re:Idiots on More Incompatible DVDs and CDs Coming Your Way · · Score: 1

    What percentage of music-listeners have purchased this software? Enough so that the cost of copy protection for the rest of the world is not justified? I doubt it.
