  1. Re:It's actually sorta important! on Metafor: Translating Natural Language to Code · · Score: 1

    If it were not for dupes, I might miss a story. I mean, really, if you see a dupe of something you have already read, just don't look at it.

  2. Re:Dear Creationists on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but I pay for a public school's textbooks. You don't pay for my bible.

  3. Nature's way... on Quake and Tsunami Devastate South Asia · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well, I guess this is mother nature's answer to outsourcing... Seriously though, this was really bad timing. There were probably tons of people in beach resorts who were on holiday.

  4. Re:Does this shock anyone? on Libertarians Lose Case to Block Presidential Debate · · Score: 1

    "(or even gotten 5% for Federal funding)" It wouldn't matter. We don't accept public funds anyway.

  5. Re:Helmets are expensive on Jet-Powered Wheelchair · · Score: 1

    It isn't the government's job to protect us from ourselves. If you hurt yourself, you pay the consequences.

    How exactally would you pay off a debt today if the bonds don't mature for 20 years? You can't pay off the debt whenever you want to.

    How can the first post be redundant?

    Who the hell modded this informitive? Do you guys even check the links?

  12. Re:WTF? Only Hot People Apply? on Regenerated Nerve Cells Let Rats Walk Again · · Score: 1
    sustained a fairly dork-related injury

    You do realise what the word "dork" means, right? I got something in my email that might help you "regain your manhood" if you want... Not trying to mock your injury of course.

  13. My school never has programming classes. on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 1

    The buissness teachers at my high school say that it is a waste of budget because only 3 out of 2000 people will program, but everyone has to make webpages and type. They think we only need keyboarding classes, HTML, and Cisco. Next year they are canceling Cisco due to lack of participation. I wish I could take AP computer classes. Well, I suppose there is always college.

    He isn't saying he is going to deduct it on his taxes dumass. He is saying that he is willing to pay more for a machine that will allow him to spend more time making money and less time fixing it. If his productivity increases, he will make back the difference.

    now get me some nuts...

    Woah man... That's too much information. If you want, leave me your email address and I can foreward you some of my spam. I think you need it more than me.

  18. Re:Sim City 2000 on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    No. Microwave was 2020. Fusion came in 2050. I believe that they always moved the dates around by a couple years every game anyhow...

  19. What's this? on Atiyah and Singer to Share the 2004 Abel Prize · · Score: 1

    At first I thought this post was about the ayatollah khomeini starting a singing career.

  20. Re:Here I am with my Alpha on Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads · · Score: 1

    I could run NT on my power pc Apple clone. That didn't make it a PC. Come to think of it, the G5 is not a PC either.

  21. Does anyone ever actually believe advertisers? on Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    While truthfulness in advertising is important, this is one of those times where an advertiser made a claim that is kind of hard to prove. A computer that is faster at one thing is not necessarily faster at another. Besides, when you hear "world's best hamburger," you don't automatically believe them solely based on the ads, do you?

  22. Re:Even when MS looses [SIC] it wins! on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1
    ...shows the poster (whom I assume to be from a US institution)

    Yeah, right, I'm American. That would explain why my name is in GERMAN. They really teach you some great reasoning skills over there. Well, that and grammer is spelled "grammar." Glad I'm not up to the Canadian level of education.

    (Just joking, I'm a dirty American pig, but Froschmann is German for frogman... no idea where I got that name from.)

    What are they loosing? Loosening their hold on the market? Loosing the ropes on the captives? Or did you mean losing?

  24. Re:Yes, PEANUTS on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1
    You get to keep the other $39.5 BILLION that you extorted from people. In the world of individuals (as opposed to corporations), thieves, extorters, and embezzlers don't get to keep what they've stolen. But MS does. At least 79/80ths of it. Peanuts my friend, peanuts.

    Alright, I am no fan of Microsoft. That said, accusing them of having stolen all their money is slander. They aren't thieves; they just practice unfair business practices. They are worlds away from a common thief, so don't compare them.
