  1. Protest is not Governance on Green Party Candidate David Cobb Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Sorry Trekkies but one cannot lead or govern if all you are doing is protesting. If you start out by saying you will never do anything unpopular to the protest movement, you will never anger radicals then how do you actually keep the government running?

  2. A monkey wrote Bush's debate on Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or maybe it was a mooooooolah.

  3. UMI was actually in the news this morning on HP Kills Off Utility Data Center · · Score: 1

    On CNBC, a brief blurb, which frankly is astonishing given the relative secrecy IBM pursues.

  4. Your're no Andy Grove and you never will be, Craig on Pre-Retirement Interview With Intel CEO Barrett · · Score: 1, Funny

    Craig you were never more than a "More of the same thing too" guy. You were never more than a "Whatever you say Mr. Bill, you da Man!" guy. You were never more than the mouthpiece for your institutional investors.

    Face it Craig. You were always bush league. You're not qualified to carry Andy's Volt Ohm Meter.

  5. But there's a big difference on Europeans To Monitor American Voters · · Score: 1

    In Ratfuckistan the 'results' are usually 99.49% for the Maximum Leader. In the US in 2000 and this year as well, the margin of victory, for either candidate will be by a whisker. So it's questionable whether these observers know what they're looking at or what to look for.

  6. I never knew hell was in Poland on Xbox Modchip Featuring Onboard Operating System · · Score: 1

    I'm sure though some of my relatives would agree.

  7. Make it a reality TV show on Private Mars Mission Planned For 2009 · · Score: 1

    Get the surfer duuude, the angry black chick, the whitebreads, the gay guys, the goth chick, the dweeb, the urban hip street black guy, the repressed screaming argumentative vaguely asian girl, the useless stoner, the guy with a drinking problem and the crybaby.

    Put em in a space ship for like 15 months and give them utterly useless but challenging tasks to do while they Keepin it Real in Space, yo.

  8. You're not my kids on Not Life After Death -- Email After Death · · Score: 1

    ....Your mother's a big whore...And I spent everything. Suck it losers.

  9. They all have something in common on Persuading A City To Go Wireless? · · Score: 1

    Gay hippy nerd tattoo factor.

  10. Hang one outside the ISS !! on Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4 · · Score: 1

    It's only a matter of time before someone modifies a PC's powersupply, drags it into orbit and hangs it outside the ISS for some 1337 overclocking joy. At a coupla hundred below zero in the shade, that ought to be enough coldnocity to OC it like a muthachucka.

  11. Here is my question on Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb · · Score: 1

    At the Trekkie convention is there a minimum aluminum foil hat quota?

  13. No No No No a billion times No on Would You Hire A Hacker? · · Score: 1

    This is shit really is not rocket science. But it REALLY is about reliability and trust. Would you hire a kidnapping rapist to babysit your kids on the assumption that they probably know how all the kinapping rapists operate?

    Shit, boys and girls, get your 1337 heads out yo asses. You can't trust someone who has demonstrated to you you shouldn't trust them, who fundamentally believes s/he is smarter than you and your rules don't apply. And if you can't trust them then they can't work for you.

  14. Can't we just deal with this already on Spam Opt-out Link Triggers Malicious Code Attack · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I like a good practical joke as much as the next person. Can we just track down one of these people, drag him/her outside chop them up with bolo knives hunt down their families, rape mutiliate and murder them set fire to their houses, kill their dogs and piss all over the corpses already?

    I figure 10, 20 thousand of these losers tops and the problem will go away.

  15. Wait just one minute there........ on The Voice Over IP Insurrection · · Score: 1

    An acquaintance of mine just discovered that his required home router firmware upgrade hosed his VOIP modem interface.

    He is hisown telco customer support function. Is that the job we really to have? Is that where we see the phone company's general level of service heading?

  16. Speed baby speed !! on Will Google Launch A Browser? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unlike my wife, faster is ALWAYS better. If Google brings anything at all to the table it's a simple clean elegant design interface that flat out runs rings around everything else. All the extra gorpacomplexificationocitudeness should only be bolted on as snap on applications and only when necessary.

  17. Boring is a new artform on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 1

    That's the real message, that no matter how 'interesting' and 'clever' and whatnot your idea is, the execution of it is trite, banal and boring. Just like everyone's pathetic life.

    One more fat interchangeable guy with a backwards hat and someone gets neckchopped.

  18. Nelson sez Ha Ha !!! on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 1

    Cute headline I thought it said MS has to share office.

    Is that a real office or a cube farm/veal pen arrangement?

  19. "Ear" isn't in the archive? on Tracking The (English) Words We Use · · Score: 1

    This shit is broken or it's so 1337 that only other geeks losers and nerds can use it.

  20. Imagine a Beowulf clusters of these things....... on Digital Generation, Analog Retro Chic · · Score: 0

    \got nuthin. that's all

  21. Real or fake, most movies really suck on Sky Captain and the Films of Tomorrow · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Bad writing, obligatory Angelina Jolie/Will Smith/Halle Berry vehicle, choppy direction, horrible dialog and a plot that makes zero sense if you're older than 12.

    It makes no which never mind if they make the shit in a 3D hologram or on a green screen or, perish the thought, with real sets. Most movies suck so hard they're practicelly a brand new art form.

  22. Yeah that's the nurse I WANT on Would You Bid for a Job? · · Score: 1

    For sure....gimme the slacker who bid minimum wage, to give me my meds. In fact give me the volunteer off the street.

  23. What do you want? Hemp sandals? on The OS Community Embraces IBM · · Score: 1

    To all you critics, what then constitutes support? What do you want? Beanbag chairs, lava lamps and free love? The OS movement will die if it wants to preselect who it chooses to love and support it.

  24. Re:"Green" is more of a fashion choice on Saving Energy Without Derision · · Score: 1

    Of course you resist, no one wants to be told their fashion choices, their statement of uniqueness is not so unique. In fact the Prius outsells the Civic enormously BECAUSE it looks distinct - it looks like the Green Car it's supposed to look like and not like every other Corolla on the road, which is the path that Honda took. Why do you think they made the Insight so interesting looking the first few years? To gain attention. Toyota understood this and discarded the Echo as hybrid platform BECAUSE they didn't want it to be another options package on the Echo.

  25. Here comes the science on Report Claims SCO Intends to Charge IBM with Fraud · · Score: 1

    SCO + RPG + ANFO = solution!
