  1. Enraged? on Sunlight Labs Offers $25,000 For Data.gov Apps · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you didn't mean:

    "Data.gov is paving the way for citizens to become more /enraged/ with their government"

  2. 26th? on Compact Disc Turns 26, Has a Bright Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who the hell celebrates a "26th" anniversary?

  3. Re:First Post on Game Developer's Response To Pirates · · Score: 1

    You must be a linux noob and are simply doing it wrong. (/sarcasm)

  4. Re:Normal People? on Apple Climbs Into Third Place In U.S. PC Market · · Score: 1

    The article is about Apple.. so I'm going to guess you think OSX is lean on resources, and a great user experience?

    Give me a break... and take your spinning beachballs with you.

  5. Re:This has to be good news on DOE Shines $14M on Solar Energy Research · · Score: 1

    And yet I get the feeling you voted for him twice...

  6. Re:I'm not worried, because... on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    There are other game mechanics besides twitch "sniper headshot" precision. Just an FYI.

  7. Re:Isn't it obvious? on IT Labor Shortage Is Just a Myth · · Score: 1

    Bingo. They don't want the guys who want 95-120k a year, they want to guys who'll be happy with 25-35k a year and work 12 hour days. They should start making games...

  8. Re:Clearly you're mistaken on Leopard as the New Vista? · · Score: 1

    > The difference is that Ubuntu is free, of course.

    And this is why linux will never win the desktop of corporations. Anytime there is criticism, it's too easy to just throw up your hands and say: "eh? whaddaya want, it's free"

  9. Ahh this debate again. on School District To Parents — Buy Office 2007 · · Score: 1

    Where one camp say: "Listen, Office is in fact demonstrably better than any Free(tm) alternative,"
    and the other says: "Nobody needs all that functionality anyway."

  10. Re:Thoughts go the the families.. on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    Or how about Tool: Vicarious

  11. Saddam sentenced to death... on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    ...along with almost 3000 US soldiers, and 50,000 Iraqis, whose sentences have already been carried out.

  12. Guns? on Who Cares If Privacy Is Slipping Away? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We always hear about you Americans and your Second Amendment, and your right to bear arms.

    If your government is run by tyrants, why don't your precious militia's do something about it?

  13. Re:Use flux???! on Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason · · Score: 5, Funny

    hey "dude' instead of bitching about someone's choice of solder, try doing something useful. This guy made an IDE mod for DS. He's way 1337er than you. so STFU.

  14. Re:Is this a surprise? on AP Looks at Piracy, Misses the Point · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People who keep trying to equate copyright infringement with theft ought to be ignored.

    Unfortunately, they have lots of money, and lots of influence, so we have to be careful.

    What's wrong with using a little humour to illustrate his point?

  15. So no DRM? on RIAA Claims P2P Has Been Contained · · Score: 1

    So this means they won't have to bother pushing for all that new DRM right?!? Right??

  16. Re:Not very funny. on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 1

    > I know it's a common joke amongst Americans to make fun of the French, but that's likely just because most Americans have very little, if any, understanding of anything.

    Fixed.

  17. OSS true motivations on Trolltech Going Public · · Score: 1

    One common question about Open Source development is "How will programmers get paid?"

    It has become quite apparent that software developers working in Open Source definitely want to get paid, they'd just rather do it via IPO and devil take the hindmost.

  18. Wiitarded on Nintendo Revolution Renamed 'Wii' · · Score: 1

    Wiitarded.

  19. Re:only winner on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    The 'Insightful' AC comment isn't.

    He's not driving to work in pollution credits, he's driving in a more economical car. He's saving money doing it too. And with the money he saves, he's buying pollution credits. Which means someone else is polluting less. The net result being that he saves the environment just as much, or maybe more than spending that money on a hybrid.

  20. Re:This sounds like duke nukem forever on Video Games Live National Tour Canceled · · Score: 1

    Don't be an asshole.

    I guess people who are into classical music shouldn't bother with the symphony right? What about people that like particular bands - I guess they shouldn't bother with concerts, since you know, they could listen to the CD at home.

    Ya, it's a troll, and I bit. But you're still an asshole.

  21. Re:Sure thing, we'll get right on that on BBC Commentator Goes After Software Licensing · · Score: 1

    I was hoping you *were* trolling. If you don't like it - don't use it.

  22. Re:About time on BBC Commentator Goes After Software Licensing · · Score: 1

    Ya, I can't think of anyone who's willing to use a computer despite not having the right to sue.. I mean, why take the chance?

  23. Re:No voice on DS on Nintendo Takes To The Airwaves · · Score: 1

    No, your analogy is still really really stupid.

    But that's par for the course here.

  24. Re:When will the wireless market stabilize? on Airgo Quadruples Wi-Fi Limit · · Score: 1

    It sure is a good thing you didn't bother hooking your computers up with 10BaseT, or even 100BaseT... They're so.... yesterday.

  25. Apache doesn't work properly in windows? on Windows Incompatibilities Frustrate D.C. Schools · · Score: 1

    Apache isn't working properly for them?

    It's too bad they didn't go with an open source solution that they could custom tailor..

    er...
