  1. Re:Outsource Bill... Please Outsource... on Did Gates Fib About H1-B Salaries? · · Score: 1

    How can this nonsensical rant get a 3? This sounds like a wealth hating troll.

  2. Salary on Did Gates Fib About H1-B Salaries? · · Score: 1

    When is cost analysis for an employee is calculated it's not only calculated on how much is paid to that employee in cash money. It includeds applicable taxes, fees(think Workmans Comp), health insurance splits(if health insurance is provided). An employee that grosses $50,000 a year can actually cost an employer $65,000 or more depending on all the benefits,taxes,etc...

  3. DRM on Your House Is About To Be Photographed · · Score: 1

    I am going to Copyright my house and any images of it.. Just like the NFL does thier games, when these Canadians take a picture and sell it to someone I'm going to sue them for $10,000 a picture. I just need to make a little sign to put on the corner of my house that says (c).2007

  4. Not a valid Test on Study Finds Bank of America SiteKey is Flawed · · Score: 1

    If someone representing BoA asked me to do a study, in their office on their network. If I showed up, I would allready feel pretty secure in thier testing environment. If i sat down at a company computer on their private network. I would make the assumtion that everything is ok even if i didn't see the logo... on the other hand if I was on a public PC, or a on a public network , or even my on my home network, I wouldn't login. They are using social engineering here on accident, they are testing the users trust in the testing company not the website. I think that invalidates any outcome, of this study.

  5. Re:Save US From Global Warming? on On Electricity (Generation) · · Score: 1

    When someone with a weak position tries to make a point, they usually do it by attacking someone speech or written word. Something which you have done. Are you really qualified to sum up a response by referring someone to a Mental Therapist? I would guess not, I would guess you are just a mental midget, who has no real knowledge, just wishful opinions. Do everyone a favor and educate yourself whith something other than democrat talking points.

  6. pansey on Uncle Sam Spoils Dream Trip To Space · · Score: 1

    What a pansey... He is a 31 year old software consultant and he can't get afford $25000 bucks for a once in a million lifetimes event? Get a signature loan or something. Geez I don't want this programmer writing code for me if he can't figure this one out. Does he still live with his mother?

    I was thinking abut trying this in my airport, I need to write some good software for it.

  8. Fort Lauderdale on "Free Wi-Fi" Scam In the Wild · · Score: 1

    I see this every single time I am in Ft. Lauderdale airport. Which is once a month. The airport wireless sucks sooo bad, that users may try to connect to another one that says "free".

  9. Designed failure on Will Low Lamp Lifetime Spell Trouble for DLP TVs? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    These bulbs are designed to fail... They could put 2 or 3 lower wattage/heat producing bulbs in these machines. More bulbs with less wattage would last much longer and could be much cheaper. They want the repeat business of selling bulbs, just like HP sells $50 printers that have $35 cartridges. Like printers though, changing bulbs will become an accepted norm, for DLP enthusiest. Hell, I don't mind, If I can afford the TV I should be able to afford the bulbs.. It's like buying a car and complaining that I have to buy tires every few years.. IT is what it is..

  10. Ice Age on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 2, Funny

    The sun causes the Ice Age, but doesn't have any significant effect when Global warming is involved, only human can warm the earth... mostly conservitive humans.. :)

  11. Re:Uncomparable budgeting. on India Brings Back Orbiting Satellite to Earth · · Score: 1

    I thought the responsibility of goverment was to protect the people... I guess it's job is also to feed them...? what next? make sure they have broadband internet? , tv , maybe clean underwear? While I admit it's horrible when people go hungry, it should be a private sector venture, if there is money to be made in feeding the hungry, a company would form to do it.

    Your kidding right? This article is posted on U.S. Senate Commitee on Environment & Public Works. The AMS gets Subsidies from the National Science Foundation(NSF), which is a federal agency

  15. Scary on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This sounds like a government organization is telling me what to think. I don't like it one bit. This "weatherman" is expressing communist views and trying to assert his "truth" over mine. The true meaing of this article is not too discuss global warming but to discuss people loss of free thinking and speach. Shame!

  16. Re:GW NOT humans fault on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 1

    So dust storms in the '70 kept it cool then, now there are fewer dust storms... He also says that the polar ice caps are melting because of regional climate change and because of the peculiar topography near the poles and it is on a instability border.. to many reasons sounds like a guess/theory to me. The site itself is full of discussion not exactly agreeing with his assessment. I guess we will have to disagree.

  17. Re:GW NOT humans fault on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 1

    Yes, the tempature is rising on mars. It is because of increased solar activity. Why would earth be any different? Does the sun not affect Earth? , Is that somethign that can only be done by man?

  21. Re:"Evil" Corporations on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Do you own a local business? You say "Wal-Mart sucks the life out of local businesses and drive down wages in the local job market" I own a local business and I'm able to buy cheaper supplies from them which in turn allows me to pay MY employee's more. Also, the cheaper prices allows LOCAL residents to keep more of their money to spend LOCALLY at other businesses.

  22. CCFL's on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    I have tried these bulbs, and they suck. If you don't mind feeling like your in a cave then go for 'em, but I will stick with my good old energy guzzling indacesants... On a side note, I hear it's because they work differantly than regular bulbs. While indacesants produce light, CCFL's suck up darkness. (which maked them more effecient but not as good) Also watch them release all their darkness back into the room once you switch them off.

  23. Autocad on Autodesk Suing to Keep Format Closed · · Score: 1

    I have been using Autocad for years, I can say that if there is one company to hate other than Microsoft it would have to be AutoDesk. They are one of the greediest, monopolistic uncaring about quality or customers ,company I have ever seen. If I could change companies or software I would, but I can't, hence the craptastic monoply

  24. What I want. on Wal-Mart Asked to Drop Christian Video Game · · Score: 1

    I don't want anyone, telling me what kind of video game I can play, no matter how distasteful it is. If you don't like it don't buy it. Why do people feel they can thrust their moral beliefs on me? Put an ESRB rating of adult on it and kiss my $$. They tell me how video games are corrupting my mind, well too bad, it's my mind to corrupt. I don't tell anyone to ban pudding, because it's making them fat, if they want to be fat, it's their body, so be it. The problem doesn't lie in what's available to corrupt me, their has always been things to corrupt people, the problem lie's in people's inability to discriminate between what's right and wrong, or the will to resist.
