  1. Re:BUT... on Why Microsoft Wants to Buy Google · · Score: 1

    No, dumbass, anyone only using the first page of results isn't using the damn thing right. Even on Google I have to go 8-10 pages deep sometimes to find what I'm looking for. The reaction of ANYONE that uses a particular search engine, when they don't get the results they want, is to go to the next page.

    I think there's not argument too stupid for a slashdotter to use.

    Hey, that's nice. As I already made clear, I am not a hacker and I don't care about number crunching benchmarks. LINPACK tests mean dick to me. I am a USER, not ADMINISTRATOR. If my pants went crazy for the latest release of Apache and gcc, I might want the biggest number cruncher out there. But my pants stay firmly in place unless there are some shiny numbers for tests based on software I use, such as Photoshop and After Effects.

    Redhat's Mozilla install defaults to Redhat as its homepage. Galeon defaults to Gnome's homepage. Damn those free software bastards. Putting in self-aggrandizing default values and making it easily changeable...

    I'd give some minor internal organs for a dual 2Ghz G5. I wouldn't give the sticker price for a dual 3Ghz Xeon system. I'm not a hacker or a techie. The only numbers that impress me are the smaller ones produced by REAL-WORLD application tests on Macs (Photoshop, etc.).

    You're jumping a HUGE gap here, dude. The original poster was talking about *sweetheart* relationships. I take that as meaning the first few close relationships someone has with a person of the opposite sex (or the same. You never know.). Quite obviously, this doesn't include relationships where one person beats the shit out of the other.

    BTW, if you ever need help evacuating the cranium of some asshole that's beating the hell out of your daughter, just give me a call. I can't stand fuckers like that./rant

    A-FUCKING-MEN! That is undoubtedly the shining jewel in a sea of shit, dude. You've put into a few simple paragraphs what I've been trying to say for years. You can't be a friend, you can't be an enemy. You have to be a guide. If you can't trust your kids, then they won't trust you. If you are too lenient then you won't haven't any authority over them. There is a very fine line between asshole and angel, and parents have to walk it every day.

    There is no age where your kids suddenly become 'adults'. I have friends that are 30 and go get shitfaced every night and drive home drunk while I also know people that are 16 and refuse to drink. Responsibility is not something that comes with age, it's something that comes with education and I really wish people would understand that.

    The best line of this whole thing...
    In other words, treat them like a human fucking being and SHOW them you respect them by listening to them.
    FUCKING HELL YES! "Because I said so" is a lameass explanation. How would you like it if your boss pulled that shit on you? You think that your kid doesn't deserve a better explanation? Well, fuck you, they do. If they're old enough to ask, they're old enough for an explanation.

    For example, my then 4 or 5 year old cousin asked my mother where babies come from. "They come from their mommy's tummy." Well, that was enough of an explanation and she wandered off to play with dolls or something. A few minutes later the kid's mom comes over, pissed off, because she'd told her kid that the stork brought the babies and she wasn't old enough to know about how they were actually made. Can you believe that shit? Now how fucked up would that kid be if a few days later she'd happened upon a PBS special on childbirth, thinking that a fucking bird just dropped kids off. "Wow... how the hell did it get up in there?"

    Hey, I think I'm flying off-topic here!

    Great piece of writing, really. I wish I had some mod points.

    HA!

    There are two types of strippers. There's the "My dad beat me and made me feel like a cheap whore so that's the only way I know how to live." strippers. Then there's the "My daddy gave me everything I wanted just for batting my eyelashes and now I've found that just by whipping out my tits I can get any man to give me whatever I want because I'm a spoiled bitch" strippers.

    I'd say that the split is about 60/40 in favor of the former currently.

    Yes, I am talking out of my ass.

    There you go! Either you're old enough to know what sex is, in which case it doesn't matter if you see it or not, or you're not old enough in which case it STILL doesn't matter if you see it or not!
