  1. Re:Karl Rove talks with George W. Bush on CBS and Rather Admit Mistakes in Bush Documents · · Score: 0, Troll

    They already came up with that film, it was called Fahrenheit 9/11.

  2. Re:You, sir, are a fucking idiot. on Student Killed Driving Solar Car · · Score: 1

    No, you are the idiot.

    How many lives has fuel saved? How has it lengthened our lifespans! Or do you want to go back to horse and buggy days? When people lived 40-50 years instead of 80 years.

    How can we get vital organs, for instance, cross country in just a few hours? Can't with solar. Solar cells use fossil fuels, more than they output in enrgy for their entire lifetime. Solar energy will never replace Natural Gas and Oil.

    When you have a heart attack, make sure to ask for a solar powered ambulance to take you to the hospital.

    What "oil" wars are you speaking of? I am not aware of a single war fought for oil in modern times. I do know however that fuel and oil based products have helped us fight and win wars.

  3. Where was the Passion of The Christ Thread on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    Why a thread for this piece of garbage and none for The Passion of The Christ?

    Well, me and many others are anxiously awaiting this update!! Resetting is not that hard to do, I just prefer it to work.

  5. There is another flaw on iPod Mini Design Flaw? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Ipod Mini freezes costantly. This was supposedly fixed in pre-production but my mini and many other's mini locks up several times a day.

  6. Re:bottlerocketeer on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    Just because he does not pronounce nuclear the same way you pronounce it, that does not mean he is not pronouncing it correctly. The english language allows some word to have multiple pronunciations. Look in a dictionary.

    Main Entry: nuclear
    Pronunciation: 'nu-klE-&r, 'nyu-, /-ky&-l&r

    Look up nuclear at www.m-w.com and click on the different pronunciations to hear the difference.

  7. Re:Not good enough on Dell Moves Call Center Back to US · · Score: 1

    It does span the ocean twice. I have gotten calls routed from America, to India, to Panama finally back to me in Texas. I ask the customer for his phone number and call him back.

  8. Re:just a different scarcity ? on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You have SUV envy. Admit it.

    You know what. What business is it of yours what free citizens purchase for their transportation. You are smug and inconsiderate. You could care less about the environmental impact of SUV. You are just simply jealous that you are not cool enough or make enough bank to roll around town in one.

    In America a car is a status symbol. It is a direct extension of yourself. It is an American thing. We love cars. Muscle cars, fast cars, big trucks. We love them like we love our mothers. They are our constant companion. They stick with us when things are going good and when we are thrown out into the street. You car, truck, SUV will be a part of you.

    The demonization of the SUV needs to stop. It is anti-american, those who torch and hate people who own or drive SUV/Trucks need to seek therapy.

    Let me present a analogy not a strawman as people falsely call it.

    Lets say I am crusing the internet on a big bad 14.4modem. I am taking up little bandwidth and it serves its purpose. What if I reach a website to download a file and I don't get the full throughput of the site because it is bogged down with people using big bad cable-modems sucking up all the capacity of the server. Should I hate on cable modem and dsl line users or should I take a look at my pitiful connection.

    I use it

  10. Re:What do you mean "could"? on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    19Th century web design? Was this before or after the civil war?

  11. Troy PC on Microsoft's Athens PC · · Score: 1

    Will there be a "Troy" PC? Can the makers of the "Troy" PC send the users of the "Athens" PC a wooden optical horse, err mouse?

  12. Mmmmm. Windows Server 2003... on Windows Server 2003 Is A Small Step Forward · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Can't wait to get my hands on this one. I have been watching the Shockwave movies on Microsoft site. This is a bigger step forward than most people on here will have you believe.

  13. Re:What benefits? ITS SATA, NOT ATA on Enterprise-class ATA Drives · · Score: 1

    If you were hot swapping SCSI then you'd know that you don't have to set SCSI ID on the drives with jumpers the backplane does that. Anyways this whole SCSI/ATA argument is meaningless. FibreChannel is the way to go!
