  1. Re:blame bush? on Iran Caps Net Access to Keep West Out · · Score: 1

    Had we not messed with them under Reagan and Bush Sr. this wouldn't be happening.

  2. Oh great. on Nielsen To Begin Tracking Game Play · · Score: 1

    Just what we need, the least reliable statistics company in the world to start tracking game popularity. The Neilsen corporation: Enemy of good television in the United States.

  3. Re:Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    What was that? All I hear was a storm of violent barking which is also the signature of the wolves.
    Tell me. How, with your bullshit "War on Drugs" and "War on Terror", are you better than the wolves?

  4. Re:Priorities on Iran Caps Net Access to Keep West Out · · Score: 1
    It's Linux, damnit! Pay no attention to renaming attempts by self-aggrandizing blowhards.
    It's "GNU". Linux is a relatively minor part. Pay no attention to renaming attempts by self-aggrandizing blowhards who keep their own name in the software name. Yes, I know all about the name Freax. Even though the dir he was given was called linux he could have still called the package freax if he wanted to.
  5. Re:aaaaactually learn your history on Iran Caps Net Access to Keep West Out · · Score: 1

    No. At least, not in Palestine where the Arabs were living for well over a thousand years, whereas the Israelis' ancestors hadn't lived there for over sixteen hundred years. Israel should have been cut out of Germany.

  6. Re:Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1
    You'll have to get trained by an existing sheepdog to do that. Which will:
    • Teach you to like the current sheepdogs(although lawyers aren't exactly sheepdogs, they're a good example: about 80% of lawyers go in wanting to do some sort of advocacy but only 20% of lawyers go out wanting to do such)
    • Still be weaker than the current sheepdogs, and when you try to stop them, have the media calling you a wolf
    • If you happen to still be both stronger and rebellious after becoming a sheepdog, you become the new alpha male. The cycle starts all over again.
  7. Re:Can't be more than a few thousand years old... on Kansas Soil Yields Massive Meteorite · · Score: 1

    Creationism deserves to be mocked due to the fact that it's been completely discredited. Especially the young-Earth type. And yes, I know the rock is only a hundred years old or so, but his joke was still funny.

  8. Re:-1 Misleading on Bully Banned by Some British Retailers · · Score: 1

    Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.

  9. Re:This isn't really new on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 0, Troll

    Only if by "for pussies" you mean "not hitting so softly that you don't even need pads".

  10. Re:WTF? on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    In addition, the buses are capped at 45 miles per hour.

  11. Re:Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    How about I make it a little more clear: Quis custodiet ipsos ovicanes? As in, who watches the sheepdogs and prevents them from becoming worse than the wolves?

  12. Re:Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    A sheepdog is just a wolf who has all the sheep in his territory. Wolves are territorial creatures and sheepdogs are much closer related to the wolves than the sheep. Sheepdogs eat sheep too just in case you didn't know.

  13. Re: Ah, the travesty on Nielsen Ratings in the Age of the Internet · · Score: 1

    I support the legalization of marijuana. My sig is nicked from a Everything2 post because although I think gun control is misguided, I think the original pro-gun slogan, and most other pro-gun slogans, are moronic.

  14. Re:The problem with this is on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    His most recent album was released in 2005. He's still making "music", although I don't "get" the "purpose" of those "unneccessary" quotemarks.

  15. Re:Gnome version? on KOffice 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    It isn't, but all Gnome applications are based on it.

  16. Re:It gives visibility to the GPL on Should the GPL be Used as a Click-Wrap? · · Score: 1

    But when they have a choice of GPL or proprietary, they choose proprietary. The less scrupulous groups have to lose their freedom so that everybody, including them, gets infinitely more freedom.

  17. Re:"serious" movies? on Image Metrics May Revolutionize Facial Animation · · Score: 1

    Did you ever see an actual acting scene with CGI people in any of those movies?

  18. Illiad and CYMK on KOffice 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm still trying to figure out why Illiad, webcomic artist, needs CYMK seperations.

  19. Re:Gnome version? on KOffice 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    GTK+?

  20. Re:Kudos to the dev team on KOffice 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it's not Smelly Foot Office.

  21. Re:The problem with this is on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    Trent Reznor said something like that. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like: "I don't make music while I'm happy."

  22. Re:I think there will be 10 sub-species on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    Being an immigrant isn't a genetic trait. :P

  23. Re:It's already happening on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    But anyone who watches Doctor Who knows that the Royal Family are WEREWOLVES!

  24. Re:So to be clear... on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Linus is a Swede ethnically. And do you really think a PHP channel is the best place to find people that can code?

  25. Re:A modest proposal on Is the Botnet Battle Already Lost? · · Score: 1

    Why not distribute the patches via the botnet's framework itself?
