  1. Re:and..,.? on Opening Statements Begin in Microsoft - Iowa Case · · Score: 1

    Godwin's law, so quickly. *golf clap*

  2. Re:Poor kids not getting what they want... on PSP, PS2 Sales Skyrocket · · Score: 1
    Kids arguably turned out better before the invention of the video game
    People have been saying that the latest generation "sucks" literally since the earliest Greek poets.
  3. Re:What can brown do for you on Zune Sales Not So Bad After All · · Score: 1

    Using said DAP right now, I can tell you that it's not the DAP, it's the stupid earphones Apple brings with them. Just get a $10 pair of Sony earphones and the quality will be much better for any device.

  4. Re:I thought I would point out on Zune Sales Not So Bad After All · · Score: 1

    Same guy. Actually I think he used information theory to prove that theorem.

  5. Re:Colbert on Conan on Games Come To the Colbert Nation · · Score: 1

    No, that would be this guy seeing as he's played by Chris Eccleston. :P

  6. Re:so, on Games Come To the Colbert Nation · · Score: 1
  7. Re:Money Reader on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    ...High-school students?

  8. Judges are supposed to be activist on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    Go read the Constitution, and read what the Founding Fathers had to say about judicial terms. Do you know why judges aren't elected? Because otherwise they'd have to worry about getting elected and they'd have to bow to popular pressure where they should instead be bowing to the Constitution.

    I remember seeing someone with a sig saying What those who desire activist judges fear is rule by the people.My response? What those who hate activist judges fear is rule by the Constitution.

  9. How about the FOURTEENTH FUCKING AMENDMENT? on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property"
    I'd say that having things such that it's impossible for the blind to properly use cash money abridges their privileges, especially since cash money is essentially the only way to make a purchase while protecting their privacy granted in Griswold v. Connecticut.

  10. Re:In God We Trust on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    I think we should replace it with what we already had as our motto before McCarthy: "E Pluribus Unum". Out of many, one.

  11. Re:Who uses cash anyway? on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    How about 99% of people under 18 who can't legally have a credit card?

  12. Re:The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE BANK. on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    Until the mad cow epidemic comes, people stop buying cows, and the value of cows goes down. Oops, you can only buy two goats or four pigs. As opposed to the paper dollar, which doesn't become worthless because of mad cow disease.

  13. Re:heaven forbid on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1
    Oh, and y'know, there are lots of things blind people cannot do that sighted can.
    Those things shouldn't be things necessary in modern society. Personally I think your kind should be thrown into that Vonnegut story where people are artificially handicapped.
  14. Re:Accessibility is good for everybody on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    Daleks can LE-VI-TATE now. Their weakness is no longer stairs--it's now dei ex machinis.

  15. Re:Money Reader on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    ...Vending machines?

  16. Re:On a related note... GMod 10 is out on Steam Should Be a Seperate Company? · · Score: 1

    I know GMod 9(which is still free) is pretty neat, and if I wanted to make a game with the Source engine I'd probably use GMod 10 as a "launching pad" due to its massive scriptability, although as is I don't have a need for GMod 10.

  17. Re:Finally! on Magnetic Storage Using Quantum Vortex Cores · · Score: 1

    That sounds more like a Stargate thread, since Ascension is actually an evolutionary process, as opposed to the Q which make no sense whatsoever. So maybe you were mistaking Wil Wheaton for Daniel Jackson.

  18. Obligatory Clarke on Magnetic Storage Using Quantum Vortex Cores · · Score: 1

    Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

  19. Re:Credit cards on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    That's great...except for me. And everybody else under 18 who can't have a credit card legally. And vending machines still only take cash.

  20. Re:Protest the Microsoft-Novell Patent Agreement on Novell Dumps the Hula Project · · Score: 1

    I was asking an Anonymous Coward, not Bruce Perens. The Anonymous Coward asked what software Bruce Perens had written recently. So I asked the AC what software he had written ever.

  21. Am I the only one here on Barney Surrenders To the EFF · · Score: 2, Funny

    who thought of the policeman from Half-Life 2 before reading the summary?

  22. Re:Gaius Baltar, pillar of truth on Novell Dumps the Hula Project · · Score: 1

    The Cylon "deal" with New Caprica was done to promote "interoperability" too.

  23. Re:Protest the Microsoft-Novell Patent Agreement on Novell Dumps the Hula Project · · Score: 2

    May I ask what software you've written ever?

  24. Re:Bzz, wrong answer on iPod Has Nothing To Fear From Slow-Starting Zune · · Score: 1

    My last console was the PS1. Before that I had a Sega Genesis. Take that, Nintendo :P

  25. Re:So, why is that? on iPod Has Nothing To Fear From Slow-Starting Zune · · Score: 1

    If it were an open standard, then there would be more than one implementation in the universe.faad?
