  1. Re:You had snow?!? on Heroic IT Dept Less Likely to Steal... Lunches? · · Score: 1

    I think I'm having deja vu...

  2. Re:You might as well ask... on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 1

    We have special plans for you...

  3. Re:VMWare and .NET on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 1

    Um, why in the name of all that is good would you use VMWare to get .NET when you could at least use Mono?

  4. Re:Darwin All Over Again on Single-Celled Species' Genome As Complex As Ours? · · Score: 1
    We have one of the most adaptable digestive systems on the planet.
    And yet we're one of the few animals who can't digest cellulose.
  5. Re:Libs & Conservatives agree on Single-Celled Species' Genome As Complex As Ours? · · Score: 1
    It's divisive people like you that keep splitting this country further and further apart.
    I'd rather see a split country than one where everyone thinks the exact same thing. My number one right as a citizen of a democratic nation is to be able to have highly dissenting views.

    We're all for teaching science in the classroom.
    No, "Intelligent Design" is not science.
    We're all for stopping illegal immigration.
    Only if by "stopping illegal immigration" you mean "dropping all limits on immigration".
    We're all against any form of terrorism.
    By responding to terrorism the terrorists win. Literally.
    We're all against any form of illegal drug usage.
    The only thing I'm against with respect to drugs is patents.
    We're all against child pornagraphy.
    Don't give a flying frack about child pornography, especially the stuff that already exists.
    My one request: Stop looking for reasons for their to be 2 parties, and start looking for reasons for there to be 1 party. Thank you.
    Yuck. The problem with having only two parties is that there isn't enough parties. One party would be even worse than two parties. People like you are the antithesis of democracy.
  7. Re:I'm a social gamer. on Game Developers Missing Their Target? · · Score: 1

    I'm mostly the opposite. Because at 90% of games I suck. I usually prefer playing one-player where I can set things to easy and not get killed.

  8. Re:Extra dimensions on Game Developers Missing Their Target? · · Score: 1

    All I need is a good time-travel adventure and I'll have scored the big SG-1 trifecta!

  9. Re:You might as well ask... on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Origin. Hallowed are the Ori.

    Ever heard the saying, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"?
    Yeah, and look where it got the Trojans.
  11. Actually Roland. on On the Changing Role of Online Forums? · · Score: 1

    Actually he forgot Roland. As in Piquepaille.

  12. Re:With the war on terrorism... on Neuroscientist Halts Research to Stop Extremists · · Score: 1

    ALL NON DA-LEKS SHOULD BE EX-TER-MI-NAT-ED! and now I know i am going to be killed by the lameness filter which was CRE-A-TED BY A NON DA-LEK!

  13. Re:HGTTG on Do Not Flush Your iPod · · Score: 1

    Belgium you, you Belgiumingly-Belgiuming Belgium!

  14. Re:High Alert on Do Not Flush Your iPod · · Score: 1
    What we've got here is the sociological equivalent to an anaphylactic alergic reaction.
    Which is exactly what the terrorists want.
  15. Re:High Alert on Do Not Flush Your iPod · · Score: 1

    The wolves on both sides are pretty much buddy-buddy until one or the other needs a scapegoat of some kind.

  16. Pedantism on The Light Bulb That Can Change the World · · Score: 1

    Heat doesn't rise. Hot air rises.

  17. Re:It's Called Emacs on A New Kind of OS · · Score: 1

    The Xerox GUI was done in Smalltalk, which is very close to Lisp in the dynamicity scale.

  18. Re:Africa is not a country.... on The Struggle of an African-language Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Yes, it does. If there was only one, the term would be "the". And because there are not not two wikipedias in the same language(it said two wikipedias and not two wikis) it implies multiple languages in Africa. You seem to be the only one who needs to be beaten with a cluestick.

  19. Re:Not my first thought on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Although I think the article is really talking about science fiction being the new mythology and not about science fiction based on mythology.

  20. Re:If you pour enough. . . on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 1

    There is one quote I think of when I read your post and your parent. "If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago." And it's ironic that "illitarate" is misspelled...

  21. Back to the Future? on Original Star Trek Getting CGI Makeover · · Score: 1

    The shark still looks fake.

  22. Re:Myth and Star Trek??? on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 1
    (Remember when our intrepid crew encountered the actual, factual Greek God Apollo?)
    That comes nowhere near the Goa'uld who are almost all "Gods".
  23. Re:Tested science?! Star Trek?! *REALLY!? on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 1
    'Everything from Star Trek, we're doing in today's Air Force'
    I thought Stargate was the one that they're doing in the Air Force.
  24. Re:Today's "true" myths on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 1

    Those religions might be fictional but only that Sitchin guy(or Stargate, but that admits its fictionality) claims that they were caused by aliens.

  25. Re:What hogwash on A New Kind of OS · · Score: 1
    Of course, this assumes that your mp3 player has shell integration, but aren't you also assuming the same thing for your CLI? ;)
    Nope, I can send the file names one by one. "for name in *.mp3: dumbmp3 --play name; done". What we really need is a consistent API for GUI programs so that they can work together without kludges like putting their name in the menu.
