  1. To bad they were only in the lead for 5 hours... on Achaea Switches To Anarchaea After HD Crash · · Score: 1

    The only reason they were in the lead was because of the big news about the crash...Aardwolf which isn't run by or paid for by a company has been #1 on the list for as the couple of months I've played it. I just think it's funny that a company run MUD would not be running a raid for the player files or atleast better than a weekly backup system.

  2. Re:WMD detector on Nominations for 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    Well since you took what I said and ran in the other direction... All I was replying to was the statement that he never had WMD... I know perfectly good and well who supplied him, the US and every other country that wanted hin to beat the Iranians.. I'd love to sit here and give a great big speech about how Bush had this reason or that, but I can't and won't, I'm not allowed in those meetings. And since you want to bring it up when has the US every completely agreed on anything?? If you come up with one answer, I assure you it's wrong. Just remember that the US is a democracy(actually it's a republic, but that's another discussion..), atleast we have the right to disagree, we're supposed to, that's how we work out the problems in this country.

    If he neverhad them, then what was that funny stuff that he used against the Iranians, Kurds, etc. Oh that's right it was a figment of their imagination....

  4. I say why not... on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Just think of all those times you ended up in the office for something you didn't do, just because the teacher doesn't like you.. Yes it can be used to invade privacy, but then again the way kids bring and use guns in school today, it might be useful about catching kids with guns before they use them...

  5. Re:About the deficit problem on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 1

    I'll agree with your "very specific exclusions", except it will have to be more specific... saying food is to general..I can go to the food store(Food Lion, Farm Fresh etc..)and buy alcohol, smokes and other things that are not a requiremnet for sustaining life. It needs to regulated sort of how food stamps are by not letting those items be bought without a sales tax...

  6. Re:No need for GPS on 11-Pound Model Plane Vs. The Atlantic, Again · · Score: 1

    That's why it still works!!! The USCG used to be funded by the DOT now it has the never ending supply of money from the dept. of HD.....

  7. Re:Legal and moral... on Freenet Creator Debates RIAA · · Score: 1

    Just remember that some of the laws are really screwed up...If someone breaks into your house and threatens you and all you do is maim him, he can sue you!!! Shit if he breaks his arm in your house that he just broke into, he can sue...damn lawyers..screwing this world up!!!

  8. Re:We have good news and bad news. on Lockheed Martin to Build Nuclear Powered Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    glad i got to see that for the third time!!!

  9. Re:Injection is nice... on Build Your Own Fuel Injection Computer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    or you can be a real man and hack the shit and spend what??$50 bucks...I guess you thought you read to much...these guys took their time and made something that can control your EFI and they will give it to you...but than again I guess you have to understand how to put a part on a board....Since you think that you have to spend alot of money for something to work, I'm sorry...You can buy a couple of hundred or thousand dollar system and then try to set it up...or you could spend less than two hundrad dollars and be a real man and control what goes into your engine....

  10. It's funny... on The Internet and The War · · Score: 0

    that the reporter has no clue or didn't really care what he was looking at. GCCS is actually a great system, to bad it's run on unix!! They've finally ported it to windoze(as a client)...but it's only as good as the input from humans. Plus not everyone using the system are fully trained in how to support it, most don't know how to completely use it. I won't even get into explaining the SIPERnet!!

  11. I hate the RIAA but I just feel bad for..... on Online Newshour Tackling Digital Copyright · · Score: 0

    the bands... The ones that are actually out there to make music for the love of music.. I love Metallica, I've listened to them for years, but I'd rather download there new songs and listen to them, before I spend the money I worked hard for on their CD. Before I was getting music off of the internet, I was listening to my friends tapes,CD's and records; should I have been sued when I got a friend to copy a tape for me till i had the money to buy my own??All it meant was that I would rather own the real thing instead of a copy and make sure that the group I was listening to could keep their contract with whateverthehell company, so I can hear their music. The only thing that all this BS has been doing for me and some of my friends to do is to look more for local bands and underground music(not supported by the mainstream companies) because they are looking for an airtime, so they are more willing to let their music out. If people like their music, guess what, they would buy their music... My 2 cents are out now....

  12. It's not sooo bad... on Inside SAIC · · Score: 0, Redundant

    SAIC is actually the parent company of my compnay(AMSEC LLC). It's really a cool company to work for, especially the stock options...Of course I work offsite of our office, and have gotten a pretty good thing going supporting the fleet... Such is life...
