  1. Re:old fashioned, old schmasioned on What, Me Worry? MAD Magazine Going Quarterly · · Score: 1

    Isn't that a good thing?

  2. Re:And the oversight? on $6 Billion Proposal For High-Speed Internet Grants · · Score: 1

    Because that's exactly what we need, a country run by even more bean counters.

    No, the worlds 8 year olds are on /b.

    Got help the next generation...

  4. Why? on BotPrize — A Turing Test For Bots · · Score: 1

    Why would we want imperfect bots anyways?

    When the robots try to take over, we won't be fighting *human like* robots, but ruthless precise killing machines. I think it's time to step up our game!

  5. Re:Talk to a dean NOW. File a police report if nee on A Teacher Asking Students To Destroy Notes? · · Score: 1

    I never said the teacher didn't do something wrong, but as another poster stated, the proper course of action would be to go to the dean of the school first.

    What benefit is there going to be besides waisting tax payer money by going to the police first?

  6. Re:...because H1Bs are forms, not people on Senator Prods Microsoft On H-1B Visas After Layoff Plans · · Score: 1

    You still don't get it, it's a way to drain talented resources from other countries and bring them into the USA. In the end it benefits our country and hurts other countries.

    The majority of people who come here on H1Bs are very intelligent, and that is one of the reasons the USA has done so well, it attracts the most intelligent people from the world.

  7. Re:Yawn. on NASA Releases Video Tour of the ISS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why does everything have to be flashy??

    Were you expecting some of the latest hollywood explosions to go off?

    It's a research lab not a movie studio set, so what if it *looks* slightly boring. It is anything but.

    You sound more like a child than an adult.

    Are you kidding? Do you lack reading comprehension?

    His point was that bringing in skilled workers from other countries benefits us. The majority of those H1-Bs stay in the USA, raise families, and become Americans after a period of time.

  10. Re:1984 was not like 1984 on Happy 25th, Macintosh! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Are you kidding? 1984 was exactly like 1984, the personal computer was just a ploy by the government to gain access to our very thoughts. What you don't know is that MAC OS and WINDOWS and even LINUX are all running rootkits that grant access to the NWO. Everything you type is monitored. Why do you think new computers come with video cameras standard??? So they can monitor you...

    This is where you are all wrong, it's more like you BOUGHT $6.99 of beef jerky, reverse engineered it and figured out how to make your own and started giving it away for free.

    I think I know what we could do... Fires need oxygen to breathe right?? So how about we just use a giant space blanket to put out the fire?

    Now, where to find the blanket??

    Maybe one of these Giant Space Blankets

    The damage comes about from EM radiation overloading the power grid. The atmosphere isn't going to do much to stop that.

  22. Re:The MS Office Habit on Companies Using MS Word "Out of Habit," Says Forrester · · Score: 1

    I agree, after a short period of time the Ribbon UI becomes very intuitive to use. I've been using Office for 10+ years and I prefer it over the legacy UI.

  23. Re:Googles playbook on Companies Using MS Word "Out of Habit," Says Forrester · · Score: 1

    That of course means that I am still relying on MS/OO to do my offline document editing? What good is google docs then, other than a document storage webservice?

  24. Re:Server issues on Companies Using MS Word "Out of Habit," Says Forrester · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fact of the matter is though that the majority of these "cloud based" applications could have run on an old 486. How much does 486 capable hardware cost nowadays?
