    I thought all of your type died in Nuremberg.

    Conservatives have schismed into libertarians and fascists. Which do you think the modern GOP is?
    Only the latter think it's the former.

    What's amazing is how many people use MSN search for one thing--it's quicker to use it to MSN for google than to type in "google.com" for these peopel.

    Yes.

    You're worse than Limbaugh
    That's not something that should be said lightly. Few people deserve to be compared to Limbaugh, most of them were convicted at the Nuremburg trials.
  8. Oblig. Stargate on Bacteria As Fuel Cells? · · Score: 1

    Then some of us become more fervent in our religious beliefs, and the Alterans...believe in science. (Bonus points for anyone who can name the Alteran who said that)

  9. Re:Encourage the rich/connected to Blog/myspace on Intern? Bloggers Need Not Apply · · Score: 1

    Considering that if Prince Harry were the older one that he'd still become king, not much. Oh, the other King George. He has a rich father. So still not much. I hate nepotism.

  11. Re:Oh yes, how they've learned... on Nintendo Learns from Mistakes with GameCube · · Score: 2

    The Romans didn't have editor macros. And they never had the letter combinations CS or GS and always used X instead. (CS actually could be the Roman numeral for one hundred and a half, although neither E nor A are used as Roman numerals so that won't work) And also, 'ed' is the stem for Latin verb for to eat.

  12. Re:Oh yes, how they've learned... on Nintendo Learns from Mistakes with GameCube · · Score: 1

    vi is "with force" in Latin.(yes, VI is a Roman numeral but it's also the ablative of vis, vis, f) The Latin for six is sex.

  13. Re:of course... on Don't Blame The Games, Blame The Parent · · Score: 1
    I'd say that a pretty big chunk of deaths are caused by old age and disease.
    Replace deaths with killings, and the majority of such were caused by religion.
    In that case you should probably use a different word since most people mean something different when they say 'religion.' Generally i doesn't involve atheistic beliefs.
    Mao's portrait was forced to be in every single home in China. Although officially atheist, the people of Russia and China were essentially forced to worship the communist revolutionaries as gods. If not a religion, Soviet Communism was close enough.

    Turing-completeness has nothing to do with bugs.

    Aside from the fact that I don't know what Nivarna is(I think you mean Nirvana), you're totally right. Actually, it goes back further than Rock and Roll. When novels were first introduced, they were demonized by preachers.
    I blame religion. 99% of deaths were caused by very religiously devoted people(And before you even mention Communism, the Communist cults of personality without which Stalin and Mao would have fallen were religions, just not called that.) From the Romans to the Crusades to the War on Terror(both Bush and Osama are religious nuts), religion is the source of our problems. When the church controlled everything, we were in the Dark Ages.(And when they started loosening up, we were in the Renaissance.)

  16. Re:Hilarious on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 1

    No, but after a whole frackin' year of no school(that's how long it is here) it gets hard to get back into the swing of things. And increases chances of failure.

    If you're on a construction site and you always use your crowbar to drive nails, expect to get fired. It might work in a pinch, but it is deffinately NOT the right tool for the job.

  18. Re:Boo hoo hoo on DRM Protest in Hazmat Suits · · Score: 1

    I have the right to use my music in certain ways that DRM prohibits.(For example, American Edit is fair use that, if all copies of the music used were DRMed, would be impossible without breaking the DRM) Fair use is fully protected. Go back to kissing Overly Critical Guy's feet.

  20. Re:Unexpected Success? on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 1

    I'm implying that human life is longer now than it ever has been, primarily because we broke off from methods of doing things for the last million years. But flouridated water leads to cleaner teeth, which indirectly leads to a longer lifespan, so yes.

  21. Re:not using infrastructure on Telecommute Tax Relief Gathers Steam · · Score: 1

    What's the state in which you do not work whose resources you don't indirectly use? Because one plus forty-eight is 49, not 50.

    A guy walks up to me and asks, "What's a copy-paste troll?" I show him "How do I run Quake 3 in Linux?" and say "That's a copy-paste troll." So he runs out, he buys a shiny new parent post, and he comes back and says "That's a copy-paste troll?" and I say "No, that's--oh wait, that's a copy-paste troll as well. So yes."

  23. Re:John 21, 15-17 on Japanese Lab Creates 'Da Vinci' Voices · · Score: 1

    Actually, from what I can tell, the only people who claim that the Da Vinci Code is supposed to be anything but fiction are the ones selling books "debunking" it. The only thing Dan Brown claims is real is the Opus Dei.
