  1. Re:Google are Evil on Breaking Google's DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wow, move to Cuba or N. Korea why don't you. Just because a company (or an individual, I want to make money and lots of it :o) wants to make money doesn't make it Evil. This is propoganda fed to you by socialism. There is nothing wrong with money or wanting to aquire it. It's the lust for money that get's people into trouble. When earning money becomes more important that your own morals, this is when earning money becomes evil.

    The seller said that it was endorsed by "Apple Computer Company".

    Ummm...isn't that photo from May of 1980?

    Wow, the second part of your comment explained it all. Your blinded by your hatred of Bush/Dems/Repubs to admit the fact that being a Governer gives you more experiance running the US Government than I or you (assuming you aren't in political office) have. FFS Bush has a staff in Washington D.C. also.

    No, he never did anything like work with budgets, sign bills, or anything else that would be involved with running a state. Besides, isn't what you described pretty much what he does now, according to the dems anyways?

  6. Re:15% on Real Presidential Debates · · Score: 1

    I would think that running the State of Texas gives a person a little more experiance at running the US government than "some guy off the street".

    Really, wtf is the deal bitching about advertisments for free software with a stupid advertisment for a friggin sig. Damn you people are idiots.

    Shows how long you've been on the internet. I remember when hotmail was not owned/affiliated with Microsoft. Damn, that was back when the web was still fun.

  9. Re:My wish on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    I understand that it's a problem in the rest of the country / world. I was wondering if this law is different in various states or if they all had a similar law. As for the rest of the world, I'll care when I get there :o).

    I was also getting the 503 in Opera. Not for a while though.

  11. Re:No pollution and no pertol on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    Why should it matter if people want to buy a big car to drive back and forth to work. If they have the money to buy the car and the gas why not? If you don't like it, go buy a tiny tin can to offset the big bad evil SUV. Sorry, not trying to hammer on you, just this big cars are evil mentality.

    Of course I think the luxury SUV's are just penis extensions, but what the hell.

    I drive a Dodge Dakota FWIW.

  12. Re:My wish on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    This is one of my biggest pet peeves while driving. Using a turn signal is one of the easiest things to do and it helps the other drivers figure out what your dumb ass is trying to do. Also if people could figure out the "Keep Right Except To Pass" (is this a state by state thing?) thing I would be much happier.

  13. Re:Hard evidence? on Hurricanes Affecting Spammers? · · Score: 1

    Not it's not the black helicopters, it's the secret 747 flights leaving "chem trails" that are poinsoning the citizenry of this country. Jeeze, someones tin foil hat isn't working very well today.

  15. Re:Already Done on Satellite Pics Going Dark? · · Score: 1

    I dont' think this is all that big of a deal. Since it is just the outline of the building that is blacked out, or the region right around the building that is blurred, I think this would fall into the same category of not releasing the blueprints to the White House. Knowing the layout of the rooftops of these building may or may not be of use to terrorists, but I would hazard to guess that it may be.

  16. Re:If it can be used to truly identify the idiots. on Insurance Companies Try Out Auto Black Boxes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Okay, lets install cameras in your house just to make sure that you aren't doing anything illegal in there. If you aren't, we'll lower your property taxes. If you are we can arrest you or ticket you. Couldn't happen to a nice bunch of asshats.

    It's about a reasonable level of privacy. These black boxes don't give it, and I'm sure then can/will be abused.

  17. Re:Quantum Computers / Shor's Algorithm on The End of Encryption? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But if a quantum computer can be made to do this, then most likely a quantum computer can be created to securly transmit one time pads to the other end. A one time pad is unbreakable because the key length is the same as the message length. (boy I hope I got that right :)

    Why do men climb mountains, why do they explore new lands, why do they explore space or the depths of the oceans. Mankind does it because it's there (or can be done).

    They will have to add a new section to the Kama-Sutra if the docs can figure out how to do this.

  22. Re:My favorite notepad replacement on Anatomy Of A Bug In Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    I love TextPad. I use it to view/manipulate rather large data files our venders send us. I also use it to do quit edits to scripts and html pages.

    One of the features I like the most are the "bookmarks" (not to mention tabbed documents, file comparison, etc). You can use the search funtion to bookmark any line conforming to your search. Then you can do a cut or copy of the bookmarked lines and paste them into another document.

    You are absolutely right. I used to be in the same boat. But for the hell of it I started thinking I was the king shit, top dog, alpha mail, whenever I walked into a place. Amazingly enough chicks started to check me out and talk to me. It's all about how you cary yourself and how you present yourself.

    Of course this turns you into a superficial ass hole but wtf, you get laid.
