  1. Re:Corporate Culture on Who Plays the 'Blame the Tech' Game? · · Score: 1

    Dude, read my next post, I know I'm being an asshat about it.

  2. Yes, I'm being a pedantic asshat on Who Plays the 'Blame the Tech' Game? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes, I know I'm missing the word "errors" before the word "upon".

    And yes, I know I'm being a pedantic asshat, but those four classes of errors really tick me off.

    Not to mention "definately" (hint, there's no "a" in definite").

    Get somone to sign off and its they're problem, not yours.

    And whom do you blame spelling ("somone") and grammar ("they're problem") upon?

    Friendly hints:

    loose = adjective, meaning not connected
    lose = verb, meaning to be lost

    their = third person plural possessive
    there = location
    they're = contraction, meaning "they are"

    its = possessive, "belonging to it"
    it's = contraction, meaning "it is"

    to = preposition
    too = adverb, indicating excess
    two = a number, the base of the binary system

  4. Re:So... on The Sci-Fi Movie Stigma · · Score: 1

    Original Trek was the morality play, more about the human condition instead of AOTW and technobabble.

    And yes, "With Klingons". The Klingons were a metaphor for the Soviet bloc (remember, this was the 60s). The "teleporter" was so as not to bog down the story with "let's land the shuttle on the planet" every week. Original Trek was on a shoestring budget -- they raided the "Mission: Impossible" trash cans for styrofoam packing materials that they could spraypaint and use as "alien art".

    I don't understand the wrestling thing either, but I think it's an asshat decision by NBC/Universal, who owns SciFi.

    I assume it's the YouTube connection.

    Google owns YouTube.

    According to the local news (NBC affiliate) it's all the fault of those Evil Content Pirates(tm) [phrasing mine -- they said "illegal downloads"]

  8. Re:money well spent on ISPs Fight To Keep Broadband Gaps Secret · · Score: 1

    First they "traded" Time-Warner for all of the subscribers in the Twin Cities (for some other city)

    That would be Los Angeles, and a local VP of T-W had to commit corporate seppuku (aka "spend more time with his family") because of the way T-W mismanaged the Comcast acquisition.

    Yep. Funny thing... I always thought (and was taught in school) that the ENTIRE COUNTRY was a "Free Speech Area".

  10. Re:I don't get it on RIAA Balks At Complying With Document Order · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course, this is the same Administration that, when we complain about the PAT RIOT Act, tells us, "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear."

  25. Re:Unconstitutional on its face on The Coming Fight Over TV Violence · · Score: 1

    To be honest, yes, I think the current laws are also unconstitutional. The Constitution is pretty clear on the matter, it doesn't say "Congress shall make no law... unless it's about sex".
