  1. Re:Always a source of amusment on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I did. Most of the "Biden Gaffes" are either from Conservative wingnut blogs or from the media, but upon further examination, they're complete non-issues.

    It still doesn't discount the fact he's a douche. Now... you might have others convinced he's a fragrant smelling douche, but he's still a douche.

    Nice spin though. I'll give you props for trying at least.

    Except that Obama is an ex college professor, wrote 2 bestselling autobiographies, and, oh yeah, has been confirmed to write his own speeches.

    And he *still* needs a teleprompter!!!? Take it away, and he start flubbing. That's some scare shit.

    Granted, he's a fantastic orator with Pied Piper charisma. Then again, so is Rush Limbaugh. But at least Rush doesn't need a teleprompter, speaks five days a week on radio for about 1.5 hours (3 if you include comercials). And last but not least, Rush Limbaugh runs rings around Obama when it comes to intellect and historical facts...even when he is popping pink pills.

    Obama is not the great messiah you think he is.

    They aren't liberal in the respectful sense. The people you are talking about are "Statist". They are the same group of people, but we shouldn't let the term "liberal" be bastardized the way it has been.

    And yes, many of us on Slashdot know these Statists suffer from psychological projection. It's a mindset that is both destructive to the community as well as themselves.

  4. Re:Real Tragedy: Black Racism Against non-Blacks on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure where this FUD came about regarding Republicans as the racists, but it's BS.

    The Klan resisted Reconstruction by assaulting, murdering and intimidating freedmen and white Republicans, members of the abolitionist movement. Wikipedia

    In fact, it was the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) who aligned themselves with the Democrat Party. Look it up. Also, the KKK specifically recruted anti-jewish and anti-catholic members later in the years as their power waned. Simply put, they were a hate group. A precursor to the Skinheads of today.

    Oh, and we still have a former member of the KKK in office. His name is Robert Carlyle Byrd. Care to guess what his party affiliation is? Hint: is starts with a big fat D.

    Corporations come and go, but you only have one government (excluding a revolution).

    Second of all, politicians shouldn't be bought off in the first place. In fact, such politicians should be summarily executed. They need to know what the meaning of *fear* is!

  6. Re:When it's over on When Does It Become OK To Make Games About a War? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because war is a serious event in which people die (for better or worse). We shouldn't let the fantasy of a video game with unlimited continues diminish the value of those who put their life on the line.

    To put it bluntly, it's a slap in the face. How would you feel if you were serving in Iraq while someone that same day is replaying similar events in the comfort of his home on US soil.

    But hey, that's just my opinion.

    I'm *not* advocating it, but I expect to hear some politicians getting shot over how they clusterfucked our tax system and debt.

    We trusted these maggots with our votes, and this is what we get. It's only a matter of time before it reaches critical mass. Judging from history, I'd say it's long over due.

    Honestly, I don't think we will have a total of 50 States in the next 12 years. I seriously think Texas and other border states will start seceding the union (by force if necessary) by then.

    Given how this administration has shit all over our military with regards to respect and support, it's quite possible they would rather defend their "home land" rather then the US federal gov. This folks, is how republics are often formed.

    And I thought I was the only one that did that. So far, I've left my SanDisk Cruzer (4GB) Ti-Plus in my pocket eight times when washing. About half that time they remain through the drying cycle.

    Since then, I've backed up my data and reformatted the drive prior to copying the data back to it. No problems so far. Quite amazing given that soap breaks the surface tension of water, so I'm guessing the chip is 100% water tight.

    I work for a state government, too. The voters evidently don't want us spanking it on their dime. Wasting time on Slashdot is fine, it seems

    Didn't you know? Only 31337 H4x0r5 read Slashdot. But because you work for the Gov, that makes you a... spy.

    SPY SPY, treasonous SPY!!

    On a lighter note, that would be scary (not that I worry, I would never work for Big Brother) But given how nasty politics are, I wouldn't put it past any politician with an Ax to grind.

    A friend of mine works part time at BestBuy. He more or less has told me the same thing. All brands of Netbooks (Asus, MSI, HP, and Dell) have had a very high return rate on models that were preloaded with Linux. It's not that people don't like Linux, it's that they want it to work the "Windows" way. So far, only Microsoft and provide that for obvious reasons.

    If people really wanted something to work other than Windows, I'm sure they would have chosen Mac instead.

    The BBB (Better Business Bureau) gave them a rating of D+. Given that they are a trusted and respected source, I'd say being on their shitlist speaks volumes about Alienware.
