  1. Re:That movie looks so awful on Pentagon Climate Change Author Interviewed · · Score: 0

    Hey! You're "Comic Book Guy" from the Simpsons. The "Worst Movie Ever" tipped me off.

  2. Re:Global Warming? on UK Releases Global Warming Report · · Score: 0


    There's only one source of source of energy, well, two if you count geothermal, the other is the sun. What you pump from the ground is an just a long term carrier for solar energy

  3. Re:Someone explain me ... on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 0

    That's like wearling your baseball cap backwards.

  4. Re:Because he's *not a criminal* on Keeping An Eye On Total Information Awareness · · Score: 0

    Poindexter was convicted of five felonies in the Iran/Contra scandal, including destruction of documents, obstruction of justice and lying (under oath) to Congress. That would make him a criminal.

  5. Re:So basically... on MSIE Uber-patch Of The Month · · Score: 0

    When I was 5 of 6 years old I saw commercial for Vaselene(sp?) Petroleum Jelly where this woman coated a sieve with Vaselene and it held water.

    Maybe MS could contract with the Vaselene people.... But don't tell my mom. She was *pissed* when I did it.

  6. Re:You still have the freedom to choose... on Microsoft FrontPage License Prohibits Anti-Microsoft Speech · · Score: 0

    Actualy, In most cases you don't. Even those manufacturers selling computers preinstalled with linux still *charge* you for windows due to the licensing agreement they have with microsoft. I'm *paying* for it whether I want it or not. There is not a real choice for most people.

  7. Re:What we must do on More WTC News · · Score: 0

    Who lived there before 1948, Israelis? or Palistinians. Those "bloodthirsty thugs" were forced off their land and forced into refugee status in THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

    >Why would a spammer go out of their way to get a >load of addresses for people who are virtually >guaranteed to be unreceptive, hostile, or even >litiginous?

    The biggest spammers market is spam. They sell addres lists, the more valid addresses they have the more their lists are worth

  9. Re: don't compare oil to trees, please on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    Old growth forests are *not* a renewable resource to humans, we don't live long enough.

  10. Re:I'd do it on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 2

    Petroleum is a finite resource. This argument is similar to the argument used by the logging interests to clear cut the rest of the old growth forests, Think of the jobs that will be lost! When the resource is gone the jobs *will* be lost.

    How many *more* people will be dependant on these resources then?

    How much more pain will be inflicted as a result?

    How much more environmental degradation will both the consuming and the supplying nations suffer?

    We *will* run our of petroleum some day. Perhaps it would be wiser to look at other options now before the last barrel is squeezed out of the last oil well or oil shale deposit. The oil industry and their apologists seem to have a hard time seeng through all that money, at reality.

  11. It works every time! on Attacking Open Source · · Score: 1

    ZDNet runs a "clueless" article attacking Open Source. /.ers swarm to ZDNet and read all the responses as well as leaving some flame. ZDNet gets thousands of hits, hits == $$$ from advertizers. Doesn't sound so clueless to me.

  12. Will they block their own spam? on Hotmail Implements Spam Filter System · · Score: 1

    The only spam I've been getting at my hotmail account has been from hotmail/microsoft. When I read any other message I am given the option of blocking the sender. This option is curiously missing from MicrSpam.

  13. Re:Funny thing on The Post-Microsoft Era · · Score: 1

    MS could be buying back its own stock to keep prices stable, they have deep pockets. BTW, anyone see RedHats? up 16 points last I looked (15 mins ago)

    Clearly you are to important to eat.

  15. Hang Up and Drive! on Linkage between Cell-phone Usage and Long Term Memory Loss · · Score: 1

    The study seems plausible, many times I see people with there beloved cell phones in restaurants who seem to have forgotten how rude it is to leave the ringer on when people are ttying to enjoy their meals.

  17. I've done this before on Basic Linux Systems for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    When My 84 year old father bought a new computer, he was mystified by all the icons and features in windows98 when all he wanted was a word processor, a spread sheet and a web browser (also some graphics tools for my mom). I got him Applixware at the local Best Buy. This came with RedHat5.0 which I installed for him. The NextStep clone (Another Level?) was perfect for him! I set up a few buttons on the wharf (side strip) for bringing up ppp, shutting down and netscape and set up xfm and tkRat (for email) to come up on login and he was happy as a clam. I think this is a very good solution for the simple user with very few needs.

  18. Re:Sigh. Your ignorance is showing on Washington DC is Most Wired Region in the U.S. · · Score: 1

    Actualy, BEHIND the White House is the Elipse and behind that is the Washinton Monument and be hind that is the river and behind that is Virginia (no comment) and behind that is the rest of America, including "good 'ol" Minneapolis. Is that the ghetto you were talking about? Sure, There are ghettos in and around D.C. just as there are in most metropolitan areas.

    There are also alot of area residents that do not work for the gummit in any way, myself included. Perhaps you should think or learn before you spew flame bait all over these hallowed pages. Were you home schooled?

    Don't diss D.C. Have a nice day :)

    While you are talking about the 1996 version of NT,

    Plus 5(more?) service packs. They *have* had almost 4 years to fix some of these darned bugs.

  22. Not the point on CNN Installs Linux · · Score: 1

    I have watched (and listened to) seasoned computer veterans sweating and swearing over a simple microsoft (95/98/nt) install and whistle through a Linux install. The great unwashed buy their computers pre installed with ms along with a handy dandy crash CD to reinstall. Perhaps the working press who have had to reinstall their ms windows boxes think that it is a great technological triumph to do so (insert CD-ROM, press install). Preinstalled Linux boxes with a preburned crash CD might make them feel like they are True Geeks(TM) who can speak with real authority.
    Whatever, just my $7.83 worth(I have a higher hourly rate)

  23. That should be you == ignorant on SCO Talks About Linux · · Score: 1

    Hate to be a nit picky bastard but there is no excuse for programming errors at this page ;-()

  24. HarHarHar on SCO Talks About Linux · · Score: 2

    I used to administer a network of SCO boxes. There were memory leaks in the kernel (had to reboot every month or so) and the support was *extremely* expensive and sucked. I had to edit the kernel BINARY with sdb to fix a scatter/gather defect just so it wouldn't eat the rest of the OS on each upgrade or install (upgrades were downright scary).
