  1. Re:!! JESUS! HELP ME KILL MORE PEOPLE FASTER!!! on How Tech Almost Lost the War · · Score: 0, Troll

    You might think you haven't used a profanity, but by considering God the creator of the universe as the same as other gods, you've profaned yourself, and His name. There's plenty of evidence for Jesus, he is coming back, and he will sit at the head of the table of the world and rule in perfect peace and justice. That's the difference between God and god.

    Just a little. I'd put Solomon and the other authors of the Holy Bible on the list too. Thanks for the correction.

    Funny, atheism is a crutch for people who can't handle God. But you'll find that out for yourself some day. You are Profane. Profane I say.

    OK, you lieberals seem to think two things are funny. One, making fun of Jesus, the only enlightened philosopher. Two, undermining our troops. And you seem to be unable to make a point without foul language. And this gets moderated insightful?

    What are you, a liberal? Why did the liberal cross the road? Because he was trying to hand a tax dollar to the chicken.

  7. Re:Vista is #10? on Vista Makes CNET UK's List of "Worst Consumer Tech" · · Score: 1

    I solved the problem by giving away the laptop and buying another one with XP. No trouble at all.

    Vista can't play movies. I'm a Microsoft fan, but they screwed up with this release.

    Yawn, the codecs are installed. The player is complaining about a byte error in the file when I copy it to the local disk. When I play it off the network drive, it works just fine.

    As I said, it's Vista that's fucking up here. I had all the codecs installed on my laptop by my IT guy. Trust me, he put MPEG2 on there.

    If Vista doesn't have an MPEG-2 codec, then it's broken.

    I know what a codec is, and I made a lot of money writing software in general. I'm retired now, as a matter of fact. In fact, when the computer failed to play my video file, I closed it up and gave it to one of my less favorite cousins. That's after owning it for 30 minutes. No big deal, I bought a laptop with XP on it, and it worked just fine.

    It couldn't have possibly been due to eating only one potato a week for years, working 20 hours a day on a collective farm, drinking wine made from radiator fluid and vodka made from brake fluid. So it must have been the radiation.

    If it plays on default Mac, Linux, Windows XP and Windows 2000 installations, I don't need to know what codec it is, do I?

    And why would it play on a Windows XP machine, but not my Vista machine? I think you're not understanding the problem here. The problem is that the Vista box can't play a movie. Hence, I gave the machine away to someone I don't like very much.

    Contact Microsoft? At least you didn't tell me to look up the problem in the thick, comprehensive, well-written manual that Microsoft ships with every copy of their operating system.

    I have movies which I ripped myself from DVD's I own. They are in .avi format. I can play them everywhere, on Linux, on Mac, on Windows 2000, Windows XP.

    Windows Vista says there's a byte error in the file and refuses to play the movie. This is Windows Media Player, same version as the version on XP.

    Vista DRM is a little over-zealous. Or maybe Vista itself just is incapable of playing movies.

    That's roughly 20 to 30 years of general purpose computer dev time. They could definitely get their factor of a million much faster with more cores, or specialized hardware.

    In other words, it won't take long before the actual hardware is in place for this analysis to happen. Shortly after that will be the robot insurrection. I've seen movies about this. It doesn't end well.

    I can make it even simpler to understand. If you're one of the best small claims judges, you get your own TV show. That's right, Judge Judy represents what the very best small claims court judges are.

    Come on, that Countdown program is just about as biased left as you can get. I guess bias for the liberal side is called news, and bias for conservatives is an outrage, requiring an attack dog like Media Matters. It's a good thing that Fox News exists, or there would be no conservative voices in the media at all.
