  1. Re:Obligatory turd in punchbowl on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Someone who wants to damage the world is self-destructive, because they are a part of it. Self-destruction does not abide with happiness. So, they are not happy.

  2. Re:Obligatory turd in punchbowl on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    If you don't care about the world, as a whole, from where do you derive happiness? The state of happiness requires you to care about something. You can be content in indifference, but not happy.

  3. Re:Obligatory turd in punchbowl on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    I don't know. Why couldn't somebody live a happy life with the constant notion that their own existence diminishes -- and even damages the world around them? Good question there. I've got nothing to say.

  4. Re:Genocide on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Don't try to make us out to be the bad guy. If the new mosquitoes would simply practice abstinence, there would be no genocide. Their own fault.

    When you get up in the morning, and look at yourself in the mirror, what do you think? Such a generalized statement as yours could only come from a deep self-loath. Are you ever happy?

  6. Re:Groklaw has a pretty good article. on Bill Gates Takes the Stand In WordPerfect Trial · · Score: 2

    My understanding is that PB bought whatever surplus was cheapest and that's why no two runs of PB machines were alike.

    You are correct. I worked tech support for PB, and their first "2 gigabyte" hard drive consisted of a 1.2 gig and an 800 MB HDD basically taped together with a firmware alteration to make them act like one drive. Because they were physically paired together, one of the drives had a tendency to overheat (a funny thing that happens when you isolate the ASICs from any air circulation.)

  7. Re:Doesn't matter the OS on Ask Slashdot: Tablet With Root Access By Default? · · Score: 2

    I didn't have to root my Nook Color. I booted an image from the microSD, installed Clockwork recovery and then proceeded to CM7. No rooting necessary.

    Try not paying your taxes, let me know how that works out for you when they toss you in a federal prison.

    Well, you could go to prison, or you could actually be appointed to the position of Secretary of the Treasury.

  10. No Mo Mono on Banshee, Mono May Be Dropped From Ubuntu Default · · Score: 2

    But the blogosphere is lit up with speculation that this is a deliberate move to exclude Mono because of its emulation of Microsoft .NET.

    So?

  11. Grub2? on Fedora 16 Released · · Score: 2

    They're actually listing grub2 as an UPGRADE?

    Why do you feel the need to dehumanize them?

    Who needs to? They do a great job of dehumanizing themselves.

    Random middle-eastern dudes? Really? Can you provide a link so that the rest of us can read about such atrocities -- without linking to daily kos or huffpo?

  14. Re:Well, so much for... on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 1

    Oh, so it's just about money -- has nothing to do with submission. I see. So, who lobbied the gropings, Penthouse magazine?

    Oh, really?

    And the naked body scanners and gropings were an implementation of the Left. Not to say the Left isn't perfectly thrilled with it. This isn't a Left vs Right issue, it's a bipartisan clusterfuck.

  19. Re:Why not just wave your arm in the air... on Siri Envy? Iris Brings Some Voice-Assistant Features to Android · · Score: 2

    Like Apple did when they introduced Siri? ...cuz, Android had voice recognition and commands long ago. Admittedly, Siri is superior... now. But, DON'T EVEN.

  20. Re:I've seen this before on Behind the Scenes: How Conflict Photographs Come To Be · · Score: 1

    You base your decision of what's right or wrong merely on whatever spontaneous emotional reaction you have at the time? You MUST be a progressive.

    I always knew you were wrong. No hissy fit required.

  21. Re:I've seen this before on Behind the Scenes: How Conflict Photographs Come To Be · · Score: 1

    Excellent. You shot me down with the "I don't know how to combat your facts, so I'll attempt to deprecate your argument by trivializing the approach" technique. This is commonly employed by people who can't form a retort to a valid comparison to Hitler, so they just cry "Godwin!" and rest their case. You can't withstand the message, so you attack the messenger.

    Weak.

  22. Re:I've seen this before on Behind the Scenes: How Conflict Photographs Come To Be · · Score: 1

    Muslims burn more mosques than any other group -- they kill more muslims than any other group. Their own doctrine mandates the killing of anyone who draws a picture or acts the part of Mohammad. They issue death sentences for blasphemy. They issue death sentences for leaving Islam. Show me any other religion/government (Islam is both) that holds these same policies. Israel/Judaism certainly doesn't. The fact that both the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosque both reside in Jerusalem (and are not regularly burned) only adds weight to the documented proof of staging presented in Pallywood.

    But, by all means, continue buy the narrative. Presenting fact is islamophobia, and dissent is extremism.

    I came here to point out the same thing. Great documentary.

    Facts absolutely matter. Let's hear them. Tell me, what are your facts on Solyndra? What are your facts on Fast and Furious? I see a lot of cover-up. No facts are coming from the White House -- everything factual is coming from FBI raids and secret recordings.
