  1. Just in time ..... on Get RSS Feeds on Your Toilet Paper · · Score: 1

    Christmas gift buying time is here. I was wondering what to get for Uncle Harold.

  2. Re:GKG - and in the matter of the Microsoft Vaccuu on Many Domains Registered With False Data · · Score: 1

    It will be called the "Microsoft Vaccuum Cleaner" to avoid confusion with these humdrum devices called "vacuum cleaners", which of course do suck. Keen way of avoiding legal difficulties for misleading product naming.

    "a tablet of extra strength Tylenol does in trying to fight AIDS." They've gotten that far ? I'd thought them to be on par with a tablet of .... no, sorry, never mind.

    Sir, I think his brilliance would make Ghandi into a meat-eating, blood-thirsty, river boat gambler - if he (Ghandi) were forced to read the parent post here. Thankfully Ghandi is no longer with us and so even /. cannot force him to read such things. At least I hope not.

  6. Re:Free A/V Should be The Default on Most Home PC Users Lack Security · · Score: 1

    I'm worried that a real Antivirus would automatically remove all Microsoft Software - then where would the world be, eh ? Answer me that if you can.

    Yeah, but who left the floppy in grandma's box then ? Go on, own up, or 'fess up as the Americans say. You may as well come clean - we've all guessed who it was anyhow.

  8. Re:Commercial Crew/Cargo Project on NASA Seeks Help Carrying Cargo Into Space · · Score: 1

    And why would they not. CCCP for Commercial Crew/Cargo Project ...... oh, I see, wait just a moment..... that would mean that they have to keep right on using Russian rocketry to fulfill their obligations. Obviously a copyright/patent issue.

    Aw, c'umon. Poor Bill - nobody likes him. And only chair makers like Ballmer. They need friends who will talk to them. I move that we start a "Love B and B" Club. Each of us would spend 10 seconds per day thinking of ways to show (no! prove) that we love them truly. I'd suggest that we try to show them what we think of their products - but that could turn out to be counter-productive. I say "could" because my aunt uses Windows XP Pro for most of her waking hours, and she adores her computer experience (she is 119 years old and she plays Solitaire on it) - we reboot the machine every time she falls asleep. She really is a happy Microsoft user - so happy Microsoft users exist. In other news, the Federation of Iraqi Chairmakers has decided to make a contribution to an American Presidential Election Fund. After careful thought, we suggested Ballmer's name to them.

    Can only speak for myself, of course, but I've used the mod points I've been given today - except for one. I used them on the comments attached to articles I found more interesting than the Sober Worm. In my opinion you need help. If you post AC how can you expect mod-points? If you don't get mod points, how can you surprise us all with your brilliant level of discernment ? You, sir, are certainly not a dumbass, nor yet a clueless moron: those are accusations that you level at us. You, sir, as your post says, are an Anonymous Coward. As such, your vulgarity, as your criticism of our efforts, has all the value of an Elephant Fart in the East Africa. But you do have the right to your opinion - though I can think of no good reason why you should.

    I agree - who cares about the nazi party ? However, we may all want to learn the words of Heartbreak Hotel - we'll just have to see how bad this version of Sober is.

    Yes, that's funny. Made me wonder why you picked on 10 year olds. I'd have thought 5 year olds and without the gene would be the group to pick. And you have to know I'm serious !

    But don't ladies also have "personal bits" ? The last time I looked/felt ....... I'm very sorry. I just had to. Maybe I'm getting laid too often, or not often enough ? There is a lack of balance here. I really am sorry that I got into this. I'll not do it again. Apologies to one and all - and also all and sundry. However, I don't care what Laurel and Hardy think about it .....

  18. Re:Oversight != Regulation on Study Finds Regulation Good For Telecom Customers · · Score: 1

    "government to fiddle with the mechanicals of a societies economic engine." Or any other engine, for that matter. We might want to remember the old adage "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't even teach go into government service - where they can to exactly as they want with anything and anybody that they choose".

    Shame on you, sir. I too run my own business, and I know that the government is here to help me. They've told me so, many, many times.

    "and other more questionable practices that will go unmentioned here." Well bless my soul - or roast my socks, whichever is appropriate. I question your veracity, sir, and cannot approve your practise of titillating the reader with oblique references to "questionable practices". I found the post to be informative and clear, while your comment was a long, boring exercise in needless hair-splitting and, as I have said, titillation.
