  1. Re:wel... on Microsoft Opening Office XML Formats · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The word is lose, first of all.

    And I don't think Microsoft is really afraid of Open Office... I tried using Open Office, and after a day of trying to figure out how to do what I did in MSOffice, I just went back to using MSOffice. It does what I need it to do and how I need it done.

    And your comment about the "road to switching" is pretty funny. That would be like saying "Installing and using eMule is "along the road to switching" because it's open source.

    Maybe your IPs were banned for a reason?

    It's all the Law & Order people watch. See a few episodes and people start to think they know enough about the law.

    If I was you in that jury, I would have explained to the person who said "He was a nice boy, he just made some mistakes" that you're supposed to say if you think he DID or DID NOT do the crime, not "Will he do it again?" or "Is he a good guy at heart?"

    I was almost picked to be in a jury, but was excluded because my father was a police officer for 15+ years.

    Not only is it from Battlefront which is in no way a MMOG, but it's.. it's not very good. It's.. Just really bad. I started watching, not even expecting something on the level of RvB.. thank god for that, because the comedy is more along the lines of Garfield: The movie.

  11. Re:I know a guy... on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 1

    Or even before. When MS was going to let pirated copies install XP SP2, people were confused. MS changed their mind 35 seconds later, and said only legit copies could install it. Before the protection scheme was even in the service pack, it was defeated. My.. friend's.. laptop has SP2 on it with a "It fell off a truck" copy of XP Pro.

    I think MS is just trying to scare Mom And Dad Suburb into purchasing a copy to replace the h@x0rzd copy that their little son, Jimmy Warez, installed on their Dell.

  12. I know a guy... on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 1

    Who has a pirated copy on his computer. Using a fancy 87kb keygen, he can fool MS into thinking he's legit and letting him install SP2. He took that "Is your computer secure?!" test-thing and it said "Yep, you've got a legit copy, here, have some of our candies"

    Fat lot of good this will do.

    And the guy I know is NOT me. At all.

  16. No TiVo for me.. on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have Adelphia Digital Cable, and for a while I was tempted to get a TiVo. The cost was a little high, but I work odd hours and miss some of my favorite shows. I was tempted to get a TiVo until Adelphia offered a nice little DVR box for 9.99/mo with no up front payment.

    Adelphia isn't alone in offering these nice little DVRs, either. TiVo had a great idea, and now that everybody and their aunt Jan can offer a DVR for a low low price, I just can't see TiVo moving millions of units.

    You're putting too many people in to one group. I have a "gamer machine" and the case is a Thermaltake VA3000 and it is beautiful. There are two blue LEDs for a soft accent in the front and the rest is a nice black case. There are a lot of nice cases out there. You just happen to have seen the god awful ones.

    I don't believe Sam Jackson goes out like that.

    He said on Conan that he told Lucas he would only be in Star Wars if he doesn't go out "like some suckah" He said that his character was going to die, but it would be a glorious death. Also, we were told we would see Mace's dark-leaning lightsaber style.

    Have you ever worked at a hospital?

    I did, in the kitchen. My mother works in Human Resources. She's only been out sick once, and that was for oral surgery.

    The people who worked in housekeeping, cleaning up the bio waste were the most healthy people, and the only person in the department to call in sick was the manager who had an office and didn't even empty his own trash bin.

  23. Re:Censorship on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    I never said you had to swear, I should have used "one" instead of you.

    But my point still remains.

    If one uses a four letter word that is seen by many to be "wrong" or "offencive" one will find one's self bleeped on Television or Radio or, if you're loud enough, talked to by the police for disturbing the peace. Some towns still have laws about swearing in front of a lady. I know mine has an old law about spitting on the sidewalk that the police use to get kids to stop hanging out downtown.

    But it's late, and I'm going to end up going off about something different.

    If one needs to "shock" people by using offencive words, gestures, or by showing their mommy-parts on public airwaves, one will be slapped down by people who don't want that filth shown to their children or who don't want to see it themselves.

    If I want to hear swearing and see people grabbing random body parts on television, it's called CineMax.

    And the US regime has nukes. And biological weapons. And land mines.

    We've also got a way to get the payload to a target. Does Iran?

    Actually, that's a serious question. Can Iran launch a missile with enough range to hit even within ~100 miles of the US coast?
