    Aw heck..... the good lady ain't so bad. And she can carry a tune (without using a bucket, I mean.

  3. Re:Flamefox? on Firefox To Be Renamed In Debian · · Score: 1

    And there's always Flame-a-duck - what's this thing with foxes anyhow ? At least you can eat the duck. Fuck-a-duck would also be a valid suggestion. The French - bless them - have an expression for this kind of thing. Involves anal rape of a fly. I, for one, do not welcome our new Debian fly raping overlords.

  4. Re:oook on Firefox To Be Renamed In Debian · · Score: 1

    Seems a reasonable attitude to me. Bravo.

  5. Re:just drop it on Firefox To Be Renamed In Debian · · Score: 1

    I must say that you express my thought exactly. Here I am - before coffee - reading all this old codswallop because I thought I'd missed something. I'm getting close to the "nothing to see here, move along" point. What are the editors thinking of ? Firefox is free. Debian is free - but takes 93 days to set up. What are they trying to do here - break the 100 day barrier ?

  9. Re:kms = kilo*meter*second on Low Cost Panoramic Views From 112,000 feet · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nitwit - kms is the recognised abbreviation for kilometers. This unit of distance is current all over the world and especially in Europe. While a kilometer means 1000 meters, it is normal to think in kilometers when considering the distance between two towns, say. When travelling between two such towns you can go at the speed you like (or the speed which is legal) and that speed is expressed in kilometers per hour (or kms/hr, if you like abbreviations). Please remove foot from mouth before posting (all twelve inches of it)!

    There is the blooming problem, especially over that kind of distance.

    "Shining a light in my isn't."
    And I have to tell you, sir, that I have no desire to shine a light (lazer or other) into your "isn't". Being of a timerous nature, such a prospect makes me a little afraid. I would see what is in in your isn't, and that just wouldn't do at all. But good luck with your isn't.

    ""foreven kitten" that says cute and totally adorable ?"

    no well-worn slashdot joke...this is about a very fundamental thing (who "owns" the airwaves)
    and I really couldn't help wondering if the ancient "All your airwaves are belong to us" might not be fitting here. It is very well worn, and - at least for me - rather appropriate. What do you others think ?

    You're right, of course. I'd not mark this "troll" or "flamebait" if I had mod points today. I wouldn't mark it stupid either - 'cause that's not an option which is allowed to moderators. Rather a pity when I read your post.

    Try to get out a little. Eat regularly. Sleep is good - even if it cuts into you're dancing time. Stay away from "controlled substances" for 24 hours. Stop alcohol for at least one full day. You'll see - its all gonna be alright and cool. Be cool.

  23. Re:Hinder is not a noun on Internet Not the Social Hinder it Was · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hindrance is an accepted noun, but so is hinder. Hinder is used as a verb also - as in, "thunderstorms sometimes hinder shuttle launching" but the form "thunderstorms are a hinder to launching the shuttle is perfectly acceptable". Of course the form "sitting and typing shit like this is a hindrance to getting any productive work done" is both perfectly acceptable and perfectly true - and we shouldn't forget it.

  24. I use an inkjet at home. on HP Launches Ink Patent Violation Manhunt · · Score: 1

    I don't print much though, though the cartridges sometimes run out of ink. I keep a set of spares. I just take the empty down the road to our local refill shop and get it refilled for about a quarter of price of a new cartridge. HP are out of luck with their manhunt though. The work is done by an awfully nice LADY.
