  1. Re:Ob.. on Windows Loses Ground With Developers · · Score: 1

    Isn't 11% "only" the share of the preferred browsers that firefox enjoys? It's a big deal then... I would say this is a decent size deal.

  2. Re:freedom? on Pentagon Developed 'Laughing Bullets' · · Score: 1

    Killing said environment's inhabitants would do far more for the environment's benefit than would the destructiveness of lead. ... did that make sense? That was way way out of my grammar league.

  3. Parking on Experts Oppose Classifying Gaming Addiction As Mental Disorder · · Score: 1

    Dang, and I was looking forward to the good parking...

  4. Re:Not a surprise on US Falls to 24th Place For Broadband Penetration · · Score: 1

    Damn, you only got a single paragraph on wikipedia?

    That *is* the middle of nowhere!

  5. Re:Your Worst Possible Fear on Internet2 Deployment Reaches Major Milestone · · Score: 1

    Will spam rates increase though? They just send as much of it as they want as is...

  6. Re:What it boils down to on More States Rebel Against Real ID Act · · Score: 1

    Papers, sir? Can I see your papers?

  7. Re:Help us serve you better on RIAA Uses Local Cops In Oregon Raid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fake designer items at a flea market?? Ya don't say!

    The world really is going to hell in a handbasket if we're raiding fleamarkets to arrest people who sell fruit of the loom tshirts with hilfiger logos printed on them.

  8. Re:Not to suggest ... on Jailed Chinese Reporter Joins Yahoo! Suit · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, Yahoo did not do anything legally wrong. They have to comply with the laws of a country in order to do business there.

  9. Re:Wild animals? on Wildlife Returning To Chernobyl · · Score: 1

    Yes, but most here probably prefer something more elvish... but alast, they'll take an orc or dwarf if they have to.

  10. Re:This is fantastic on Wildlife Returning To Chernobyl · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    or maybe we can use it for a cemetary for our soldiers...

    Any other pro-bush commentary?

    (I'll get modded down for this, no doubt, but you can't deny the fact that we have soldiers dying in iraq)

  11. uhh... on Historic Shuttle Spacesuits to Meet Fiery End · · Score: 1

    Can't they just push them the other way? I thought we had enough garbage, burned or not, in the atmosphere...

    They need a giant space catapult that just goes and flings junk away from the planet.

  12. Re:No advantage on After Ubuntu, Windows Looks Increasingly Bad · · Score: 1

    Yes, and in the flavors of linux where it actually *does* update your dependencies, you will likely break something else that had a dependency, and it becomes a manual labor clusterfuck that the average user will *never* be able to figure out.

    I just don't have that kind of time when it comes to using my PC, sorry.

  13. Re:errr on "Bear" Robot to Rescue Wounded Troops · · Score: 1

    Give the robot a menacing look with red eyes, a gun, 500 pounds of Ammo, and leave the troop home; Also embed an explosive.


    That would make me feel a hell of a lot more secure on a battlefield than a 6 foot freak of a robot with a teddy bear head.
  14. Re:I don't know what's worse on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    And how is this different from any other topic they pass laws on?

    All they know is to do what people tell them to, and when they get paid more they do it faster.

  15. Re:No advantage on After Ubuntu, Windows Looks Increasingly Bad · · Score: 1

    Installation. ;)

    I do have to say though, linux has made great progress. Still too many chefs (each has their own kitchen) and no one has the recipe book.

    Here's a serious question. Do these groups hire usability specialists? This isn't flame bait I'm just curious as to why it's so hard to make linux truly usable on the desktop by an amateur.

  16. This isn't obvious? on After Ubuntu, Windows Looks Increasingly Bad · · Score: 3, Funny

    Linux expert gives linux positive review and shuns windows on a linux site, as reported by linux-associated news site. Story at 8!

  17. Re:goddamit! on First Peek at Netscape Navigator 9 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Also, in TFA, it says it's based on firefox.

  20. Re:Thanks OSS! on Survey Finds Most WordPress Blogs Vulnerable · · Score: 0

    lol.. pretty much.

    And mods, my original post is not flamebait... but the truth. It's one of the reasons to use OSS. If it has security holes, you're free to find them yourself.

  22. Re:Well on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Teaching about something that happened is education. You can't deny the holocaust. It happened. This is not up for debate. This is not religion. This is an actual thing that really happened. To ignore it is only to bow to ignorance and and anti-semitism.

    As for the metal detectors comment, I can't say I'm either for or against them, but I'm betting theres a lot of dead high school kids who are for them. I'm not sure where you're from, but there are few places in this world with less security than the U.S. You don't really gather that until you travel to a place like indonesia.

    And as for "go preach somewhere else", you should try not getting upset over things. I understand you're offended, but you don't have to talk like an asshole to get your point across, k?
