    Soldiers used to vote republican. It's just how it was. This year, it's changed alot.

    Um, dude, remember the last election? Democrats don't want military votes to count. That is plain, indisputable, and solid fact.

  4. and I quote... on Couch-Potato Gene Found In Mice · · Score: 2, Funny
    changing a single gene in mice turns them from couch potatos into super-athlete mice that don't get fat and are able to run for hours

    no, just unstable... which would be scarier than stable explosives

    It's truly scary how the Intel is becoming the only mainstream chip architecture left alive.

    I'd hate to give any kind of praise or credit to Apple, but the above statement is not true. There's plenty of machines out there running on the famous PowerPC architecture.

    There was something similar on the Commodore 64, a tape drive. 8 tracks anyone?

  9. Re:News Flash: Firewall Blocks Inbound Traffic on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 1, Insightful
    But I always take the time to say "shame on you" to programs that needlessly try to access the network when their primary function has absolutely nothing to do with networking

    I believe that's called spyware, bub.

    What I think is the "real" issue here is that customers that have installed SP2 simply don't have a clue about what a firewall is, what it does, and how to use it.

    You don't get the philosophy of Microsoft development, which goes something like "make the decisions for them for ignorance is bliss in the 'fact' that they own a computer and therefore intelligent." That is the reason for the decimated collective computer health, a decision to make decisions for others.

  10. please read on Are You Ready for the SCO Blitz? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Always remember:

    SCO is BAD.
    Linux is GOOD.
    The GPL is life.
    Darl McBride is EVIL.

    There's nothing new.

  12. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. on Using Copyright To Suppress Political Speech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm trying not to troll of flamebait here, but this really isn't a good reason to vote for somebody. You're comparing an existing record vs. a nonexistant record. The two cases can't be compared without baseless assumptions. That aside, I don't think anyone with half a brain should be voting for Bush. But, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. We learned that with Stalin, Pakistan, Saddam Hussein (issue aside please), Howard Dean, Ralph Nader, etc. You should think about choices that are still there. Think of it this way: there are a few choices out there and you've only eliminated one; you should weigh the remaining choices or eliminate them in roughly the same fashion. Hey, from this comment I can see you're at least a somewhat intelligent person. It'd be a shame if you lost your intelligence in the voting booth.

  14. correct only if... on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1

    This prediction by this man will only come to be correct if M$ makes sure their next console can't run linux (I highly doubt that nobody's going to be able to make a simple way to do it again).

  20. barcoding scheme on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    Since many entities that deal with cars use (when availible) the barcode that sometimes accompanies a VIN. We run into the same problem (expanding the spectrum of numerical values) when we make VINs "case-sensitive."
    It's a good idea, and it shows some genious, but the idea wont work. Keep thinking, you just might come up with an idea that will work. That's how lightbulbs too off.
