  1. Re:well if science teaches us anything on Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    yeah, but it's what popped into my head when i saw the blurb on slashdot. i always laugh when these "experts" can't explain something they think they have a really good handle on.

  2. well if science teaches us anything on Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    It's: Romans 1:22 "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools"

  3. does this mean on Intel's New Slogan Clarified · · Score: 1

    every other organization using "leap" and/or "a" and/or "head" in their slogans will have to change? I seem to remember people using slogans in the form of " Inside" were hunted by Intel. Even non-profits with nothing to do with computers had to watch out.

  4. did it include on Microsoft Tries To Charm EU With Future Visions · · Score: 0, Redundant

    the phrase "resistance is futile"? or perhaps several of them speaking together. please don't imagine a Beowulf cluster of those.

  5. well that's just great on Superman 'Too Big' for the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I'll never be on the big screen if that's their attitude

  6. Melinda I can see on Bill Gates, Time Magazine "Person of the Year" · · Score: 1

    she makes him spend that money. otherwise it'd be sitting in the warehouse of a home he has being his only friend.

  7. are they also going to make it illegal to on Unsecured Wi-Fi to Become Illegal? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    keep doors and windows unlocked in your home?

  8. well, seems to fit on Linux Five Years Away From Mainstream · · Score: 1

    that number seems to fit with the estimates giving M$ less than 10 years of dominance in market...

  9. aww. poor babies. on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 1

    Ya know, this falls under the "using MS across the board is easier" and "do as the nice gov't official says" crap. and just be be a real troll: MS==BAD. Linux==GOOD. ha.

  10. best dish or worst? on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    the raw flesh of end users who have angered me.

  11. function over form on Firefox Lead Engineer Scolds KDE Project · · Score: 1

    i would rather have a highly functional UI than a pretty one. (doesnt XP stand for extreamly pretty?) yeah, yeah. we're doing this for end users, but that doesnt mean we have to create software were beauty superseeds technical excellence.

  12. duh on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    see subject

  13. i think what we're saying is on Steve Ballmer Responds to Discrimination Issue · · Score: 1

    democracy (which we invade entire contries to push forward in the world) is suppose to be rule by the people. Corporations NEVER (read my lips) represent the needs of the people. And, no, the rich aren't "the people". Yeah, our social values are diverse and mostly religiously based. That's why we vote on issues. We could have alot of good values and ideals to show the world if we could just implement them properly.

  14. Re:Old Fashioned Values? on Steve Ballmer Responds to Discrimination Issue · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    read Ephesians chapter 5

  15. good on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 1

    so my "belly of knowledge" wont really hurt me too bad :-)

  16. this is up-to-date research? on Scientists Solve Riddle of Unpopped Popcorn · · Score: 1

    I think Alton Brown of Good Eats (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ea) explained this two years ago. (at least) but of course his wasn't a publicly-funded consession of whitecoats eating popcorn all day pretending to do science.

  17. Re:Just use KDE on Havoc Pennington on GNOME 3's Future · · Score: 1

    KDE rocks! GNOME sucks! spring break! WHOOOOOOO!

  18. some problems with surfing in IE on Pros and Cons of Firefox Critically Evaluated? · · Score: 1

    aren't IE's fault though.... they are bug in the integration of IE into Windows and in Windows itself. and I remember the advice I saw here on this very /. - "If you're surfing the Internet using IE and logged in as Admin, the security problem is not the software."

  19. obey the microsoft on Microsoft Proposes Thumb-Driven Interfaces · · Score: 1

    please, users, do not rebel against the life microsoft has chosen for us. they have already proved they know best for us. they are dominate leaders in all areas of computing for a reason. if we have to relocate parts of our hands (or any other body parts for that matter) to follow their plan for us, then i say pass the scalpel.

  20. yeah but... on Yankee Group Slams Linux 'Extremists' · · Score: 1

    isn't that true in any group? the fringe activists (militants, whatever) are always giving the group a bad rep. be it religious, political, ethnic, education... they always exist.

  21. this just in: on Longhorn to use UNIX-like User Permissions · · Score: 1

    M$ to drop Windows in favor of Linux.

  22. as i read this on The State of Laptop Linux In 2005 · · Score: 1

    from my fully-functional linux laptop, I can't help but wonder the same thing. } // end sarcasm but yeah, there are alot of drivers out there. hopefully companies will see intel's success with Centrino (ipw2100.sf.net) and follow suit.

  23. it seems to me on Open Source As Legal Time Bomb · · Score: 1

    These people are the type to start with an opinion (provided them by a company) and work to provide evidence to back that opinion. Not very scientific or trustworthy...

  24. there are problems here on Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads · · Score: 1

    there are a couple of problems. One of them stems from the idea legistater in the US has that it can control the global Internet. The second is the idea that a state's residents need to be taxdc on every kind of purchase no matter where it comes from. Next thing you know you'll have to assess taxes paid on things you bought on vacation in (insert a place you don't live here). States (and federal for that matter) need to work on streamlining their expenses rather that finding more revenue.

  25. isn't that the purpose of college on Bill Gates Proclaims US High Schools Obsolete · · Score: 1

    High school has long since been about a BASIC education. College is meant for real knowledge that can be used. This has been true for at least has long as I was in high school. High school cannot be seen as a path to job market in itself.

    Of course I speak as a technical person. Sure, you can still have a wonderful career in a number of service industries without college.
