  1. Re:Games gotten better? on Computer Expectations of Today, and a Decade Hence? · · Score: 1

    No Dispute. UW1 is my choice for "game of all time". No other game since has come close. This game made me understand that time is a relative thing when 12 hours would go by seemingly in 12 minutes.

  2. Re:it never too late on Sun Microsystems, SuSE Link Up To Sell Linux · · Score: 1

    I suppose having an opinion on the viability of a company rates a mod down? ridiculous.

  3. Re:Not That Weird on Microsoft Deploys Linux, Open Software in Test Lab · · Score: 1
    Sometimes. Only sometimes.


    In my experience rarely, only rarely. Especially if the decision maker has a relative in the enterprise software marketing dept.

  4. I call "troll" the truth that I wish to ignore. on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    The probability of an Indian/pakistani war is selectively ignored in the outsourcing decision. The "savings" to the IT budget often translates into bonus/options $$$$ to the managers who make the decision. Other things that are selectively ignored:
    Privacy concerns----who cares if our ssn's and birthdates are in the hands of chinese and Indian/pakistani outsourcers.
    Financial extortion:"Now that we have all your data I think we can discuss raising our rates now"
    macroeconomics: The flow of capital out of the country doesnt have the same multiple effect through the US economy, and tax rates will go up to make up the loss of downstream tax revenue.

  5. Re:The EFF wanted my money? Right... on Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig · · Score: 1

    Because people with real jobs dont have time for this stuff? Its left to the limousine liberals who need something to do?

  6. Re:This is bullshit on Warriors Of Freedom Prompted Rampage Attempt? · · Score: 1

    Yes, Semprini here. Some questions for you to ponder. I wonder if these "violent videogamers" had played D&D would it have affected their choice of weapons? What would the religious right think of the Tower of Bad Taste?

    You had to mention mazes and monsters!! Aggh, I had repressed the memory of its existence!!
