  1. Lab test? on MySQL Beats Commercial Databases in Labs Test · · Score: 5, Informative

    Lab test? What test? This was a list of features from the product documentation. What a disingenuous title.

  2. Re:Give 'em a break on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: 1

    Apparently if you say something with authority, people think you're right.

    In case you were wondering, you aren't right, authority be damned. You're close, though. Just not quite there.

  3. Re:PyPy: a Python implementation written in Python on Guido Goes Google · · Score: 1

    Ah, bigotry. It's wonderful how prevalent it is in technology.

  4. Re:The trick on Microsoft Set To Be Fined $2.4M a Day · · Score: 1

    Your well composed essay has convinced me you don't need any intelligence at all to run Linux.

    I must be drunk. Sorry for the spelling.

    Can we all just agree that their can be more then one best language-- that different people in different situations will sometimes choose different tools-- and that that's a good thing?

    Shh... don't give away the secret. Those of us who understand that will always be ahead of the rest. Let them figure it out on theiw own, or suffer follishly.

  7. Harrison Bergeron on How Would You Design a Captcha for the Deaf-Blind? · · Score: 1

    The only way we can all be truly equal is for all of us to be only as capable as the least capable among us. Let's get on this.

  8. Re:Yes, very on Is Ruby on Rails Maintainable? · · Score: 1

    using such terminology would likely send the typical Ruby programmer into a fit.

    Geez, how did you know that?

  9. Re:Java Interfaces on Is Ruby on Rails Maintainable? · · Score: 1

    Did you ever try to convince a Mac user that their platform wasn't perfect for everyone? Because that's basically what you're doing here. There's no talking to zealots, you know.

    If it helps, I got your point from the first.

  10. Re:Let me be the first to say on New, Modularized X Window Release Now Available for Download · · Score: 1, Funny

    I don't think there was any danger of you losing this particular contest.

  11. Just when I thought it was safe on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Silly me, I figured we were all done jerking off over this already.

    I gotta tell you, I'm having trouble getting it up. Serenity is a brutish looking bitch, and I'm just not that desperate.

    are you even trying? That's just fucking terrible. Seriously. If you want to seem like anything more than retarded, you've gotta do better than that.

  13. Re:Two word solution! on ISPs Race to Create Two-Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    Makes sense. If it makes you feel any better, I try to live my life by the same principles, although I must admit I'm a little too cynical to believe that it can work for everyone. Very few of us are good because it's right, you know.

    Oh well. I'm sorry I originally gave you a hard time. You've opened my eyes a bit.

    It's just possible, of course, that I was twisting your nips.

    So since you feel so strongly about this, I have a sincere question for you - what do you think you could do about what you've pointed out as problems?

  15. Re:Let me guess... on ISPs Race to Create Two-Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that's a whole other set of issues. It has nothing to do with free speech - it's more along the lines of limitation of liability.

    It seems we're in agreement about the underlying issues, but we arrived there from different places. What an interesting journey. Thank you.

    Oh, I thought you realized that private companies aren't bound to provide you with channels to use for speech, and that the first amendment refers to government. I guess then I don't wanna join you.

    YEAH! RIGHT ON!

    And then we'll have a music jam, and show them we aren't going to take this lying down!

    And of course, you know this because everyone knows this, right? It's obvious! Only a fool would doubt the common knowledge of the people. POWER TO THE PEOPLE, RIGHT ON!

    Good pun.

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    You know, physics is what makes everything work, but for the most part, we don't need physicists to tell how to make things, or how to operate them.

    Just sayin.

    I'm pretty sure you missed my point (not to mention the joke underlying it)

    Read it again with this comment in mind and it may make sense. If not, I fear for your comprehension skills.

    You can't just ignore somebody? Alternatively, why remain logged in at all?

    Your problem is so far outside the bounds of the norm, I'm kinda glad it's not handled in the app proper. It doesn't belong there.
