    If parents aren't instilling enough moral fiber in their kids, then they should try new SUPER MORAL COLONBLOW(TM)

    It would take over 3 million bowls of your normal moral fiber to equal the amount of moral fiber in SUPER MORAL COLONBLOW(TM)!

  5. Re:Jesus... on Windows Interoperability in A Linux Distro · · Score: 0

    don't confuse "not 100% point-and-click" with "not possible" as was stated previously in reply to this parent, many current Windows games, including MMOs are not only playable but fully supported under Transgaming's Cadega (based on wine) on Linux.

  6. Re:Doesn't slower speed increase congestion? on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    I personally think this would be a great idea but I also don't think it will ever happen. I imagine the revenue stream lost by lack of speeding tickets issued would be incentive enough to make sure these things stay out of cars.

    no, Mary Tamm is the original, though short lived. She was in the key to time plot arch (one season worth of episodes) starting with The Ribos Operation (my personal favorite episode ever) and ending with The Armageddon Factor.

    you are crazy, Romanadvoratrelundar (Mary Tamm) was the best assistant ever.

  12. Re:They always want to catch the bad guys... on New Trojan Threatens Windows XP SP 2 · · Score: 1

    I always think of it with the analogy of a bank that leaves it's vault door open/unlocked. The criminal who steals the money is certainly to blame for breaking the law, but shouldn't the bank bear some of that blame too?

  13. Re:Windows Help....bah humbug on New Trojan Threatens Windows XP SP 2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To tell you the truth, the help system in XP seems to be much better than in past versions. I have actually used it a few times to learn about command syntax or to find obscure configuration tabs.

    a strange smell due to the fact that dogs don't constantly swim/bathe in the ocean. As if they (dogs in general, but especially Yorkies due to the long hair) don't smell bad enough already...

  16. Re:This has no market on AMD's Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 1

    whenever I buy a new computer it usually costs me over a month's salary.

    If you want a computer you have to pay for it. You may as well complain about how expensive cars are too since they will most likely cost way more than a computer, even in a developing country.

    Sadly I only became a fan of this show after it was already canceled. Here's hoping that Serenity drums up enough support that they revive this great series.

  19. Re:wow on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 1

    yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. I do like the look of it, and I like the fact that it has TV capability.

    it should also be the mantra of software naming engineers as well.

    As a matter of fact, I think cell phones and PDA's would be better choices than wrist watches for this technology. Wrist watches just sort of seem antiquated to me.
