  1. I'm sick and fscking tired... on RIAA Goes After Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    of hearing about this bullsh!t. The RIAA sues PersonX, the RIAA loses, the RIAA sues PersonX's kids. When the fsck is someone going to grab ahold of them and beat the sh!t out of them. Jesus fscking metal. I don't usually get upset about this stuff, but seriously, this is all they've been doing lately. Their entire business model has shifted to completely PISS OFF EVERYONE. I've been doing it for a while, and I urge everyone who can to do the same: Don't buy music associated by the RIAA, don't listen to it, don't download it. This is absolutely retarded... is there no one who can check them?

  2. Coming soon.... on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    I think I'm going to have FedEx ship me a bunch of boxes so I can make a big FedEx fire in my backyard.

    1) Free FexEx boxes
    2) arrange said boxes
    3) add fire...
    4) www.fedexonfire.com
    5) ...Profit!

  3. Obviously... on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 1

    nothing to worry about, as we all know Marvin will have a gadget to cure cancer.

    "Oh, dear. Now I suppose I shall have to use force."

  4. Simple question: on Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whats the deal with NTFS? Why not open it for better support on both ends?

  5. I wish... on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 1

    that for once, the only person considered to have a valid opinion on a call to boycott IE wasn't a "Microsoft Guru." Many of us have known for some time now that IE is a horrible stab at mediocrity.

    I used to have to go and remove spyware/viruses from my parents computer on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. After Firefox hit 1.0, I switched them over. Firefox imported their favorites/bookmarks, and I created buttons for their most visited sites. I took the time to explain the benefits of Firefox, and helped them get used to the browser. Since then I've had to deal with a spyware problem once in a blue moon.

    I'm a CS student, and sell computers at Circuit City (I know I know... dirty dirty salesman... its a job that helps me pay for school). I always offer to install, or at least write down www.getfirefox.com on their reciept before they leave the store. How many actually check it out... who knows. At least we're fighting the good fight.

    If not for any other reason, hopefully Firefox's gain in user percentage will force Microsoft to open its eyes and realize that they (microsoft) ANE NOT the only option, and that the consumer won't always be happy with sub par software.

  6. Is it just me... on HP and Apple Separate; Apple gets Custody · · Score: 2, Insightful

    or did I miss the point of the partnership in the first place?

  7. Re:But what about the Kernal on New Linux Kernel Development Process · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Corn in poop... for the smacktard.

  8. I sell computers at Circuit City... on AMD Hits Milestone in Server Market · · Score: 2, Informative

    and I always push AMD processors first. Once I present the benefits of an AMD processor (be it the 64, Sempron, or Turion), the consumer usually goes with the AMD. Occasionally I get the brainwashed retard - "My cousin has a Dell with a Pentium 4, I want a Pentium 4" and can't convince them otherwise. Explaining the benefits of an AMD processor, and letting the customer know that I've been using AMD processors for quite some time usually sways them. AMD... FOR THE NEW REPUBLIC!

  9. I'm from the city of Lafayette... on LA City Votes For Municipal Fiber Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    where this vote took place. We've been subject to waiting for Cox and Bellsouth to get off their a$$ and offer us something other than sub-par services. If not for anything else, we'll have a little more competition... and the consumer always wins with more competition.
    Lafayette, LA has been gradually moving toward being a more tech focused city. With this development, hopefully we'll see some businesses spring up or be attracted to the area. I'm a CS student at UL (http://louisiana.edu/) located in Lafayette, and would love to be able to find a decent job after I graduate without having to move.

  10. New to OSD on Google Launches Summer of Code · · Score: 1

    I'm a CS student... and have been interested in doing some open source work. This seems like a good chance for me to get started. I'm a little apprehensive because I've never done any open source work. Is this a good thing for me to get STARTED with... or should I start somewhere else first. I guess I'm just worried about biting off more than I can chew and disappointing some people.

  11. Re:ummm who cares? on Macromedia: More FUD About SVG · · Score: 1

    Nope, you're not missing anything. Just a filler.
