  1. I vote yes.. for me on What Do You Think of the COLEMAK Keyboard? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Disclaimer: I am a typing bonehead. I do not touch-type. QWERTY has never been 'right' in my mind.

    Any improvement in efficiency is ultimately worth it.

    Also, 'We've always done it this way' is a terrible excuse for anything.

  2. Re:Memorize this phrase... on Little Red Book Draws Government Attention · · Score: 1
    So you give-in to any dope-who-carry-a-gun's desiderata???

    Sure, just because I need that kind of confrontation like I need a hole in the head...

  3. Re:not there! on Little Red Book Draws Government Attention · · Score: 1
    I was there.

    Not to worry, the burning was a legitimate form of protest.

    It had a flag on the cover.

    We all know burning a flag is OK.

  4. Re:Memorize this phrase... on Little Red Book Draws Government Attention · · Score: 1

    Part of my personal philosophy includes not pissing off people carrying guns. But that's just me.

  5. Re:Law? on Senate Fails To Reauthorize Patriot Act Provisions · · Score: 1

    Be careful when you refer to something that is contrary to the Constitution, remember it is a 'living document', so it doesn't mean what it says, or what the founders wanted it to mean, it means whatever certain 'leaders' think it should be.

  6. Re:Getting Old on After Brief Respite Music Industry Slump Deepens · · Score: 1

    Forget her tapes. Get her posters from the 90's. Or better yet the 80's.

  7. Three words on After Brief Respite Music Industry Slump Deepens · · Score: 1

    Today's. 'Music'. Sucks.

  8. In other news... on New Object Found at Edge of Solar System · · Score: 1

    A planetoid-sized object has been discovered hurtling toward Earth. Scientists expect it to impact with a force adequate to exterminate all life on the planet. The discoverer has named the object 'Tinkerbell'.

  9. Headset on Tomorrow's Coolest Tech · · Score: 3, Funny

    It would be nice if they could make a telephone headset look like the diamond tiara I wear when I'm doing MS tech support. It would help me keep the proper attitude toward the peons I have to deal with.

  10. Re:Mirecki Beating on Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns · · Score: 1
    Since I am happy to see this story here, I am also pleased that the following happenstances coordinated themselves:

    1) that the prof chose to leave the metro to find a deserted country road that morning;

    2) that he was either recognizable enough in his car to be spotted, or not evasive enough to elude following ruffians;

    3) that he had no cell phone to alert anyone before the assault;

    4) that he didn't have the brains to drive to a public/safe place before exiting the car;

    5) that he stopped and exited the car on the deserted road to accomplish - um - whatever;

    6) that the hooligans verbally identified themselves to be members of the group he dissed, and were not lying about same;

    7) that said brigands did not want to injure him much, since the presumed non-invalids could certainly have killed him with the bat and metal object if they had wanted to, in fact injured him so little that he was at the hospital for a couple of hours (plus waiting time) and released and back at work the same day.

    As such, logic would tell me that the story as presented does not seem likely.

    But maybe I should just have faith.

    Anyone who believes somthing so strongly that everyone who disagrees is wrong or a sinner or yadda yadda (and refuses to even hear opposing points of view
    Like global warming?
  12. Re:Automotive fuel on Utilizing Bio-fuel Beyond Experimental Use · · Score: 1

    My trip to Walmart last night would have been over icy streets at a temperature of -9F.

  13. Odd... on Earliest Bird Had Feet Like Dinosaur · · Score: 1
    Earliest Bird Had Feet Like Dinosaur

    And, oddly enough, an ass like an elephant.

  14. Re:Goodbye Canada on Canada Moves to Keep Skilled Workers · · Score: 1

    In other words, 'Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!'

  15. Re:Why do we need a remake? on The Prisoner To Be Remade On U.K. TV · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Questions are a burden to others"

  16. Would you bet... on Apple Files Patent for "Tamper-Resistant Code" · · Score: 1

    it will resist for less than a week?
