  1. It's what you deserve on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    After reading this thread a bit I have come to the conclusion that Americans have the health system they deserve. Have fun with your poor and unfortunate.

      I think your time in the sun may be ending soon. So it goes.

  2. Re:American Helathcare on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    I'm 60 this year. I'm just gonna go do my 4 mile run. No weights today but that just happens every fourth day.

      I'm in Canada so I don't have your problems but guys ... what did you expect with your "bounty hunter" society. Good times?

  3. Re:And I say this as somebody who really digs Prin on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 1

    "Oh, wait. There are unwritten rules about this kind of thing. You can do whatever the hell you want. Just know that if you go outside the bounds of "normal" behavior that nobody has to meet you on that field."

      Yup excellent way to avoid the vast asshole conspiracy. I keep hair down to my middle back and wear whatever is on top in the drawer. Not exactly unkempt but kinda threatening in a large wild human manner.

      Works for me.

  4. Re:Ha! on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 1

    "As Prince is one of the best guitarists in the entire world"

      Uh ... no.

  5. Coolest thing about steam cars on The British Steam Car Challenge · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Max torque ... 0 RPM. The Stanley Steamers used to be able to put one wheel on a phone pole and drive up it a few feet.

  6. Re:old cars on Nuke-Proof Bunker Turns Out Not Waterproof · · Score: 1

    The nicest vette ever ... 67 Sting Ray. The bomb.

  7. Re:Film is still better. on Kodak Unveils Brighter CMOS Color Filters · · Score: 1

    Not true. 4K is next and is being used now for feature films. Peter Jackson thinks it is the future and many industry icons believe the same.

      Once you have seen 4K with 4:4:4 colour space you may take that back. Some say it is pretty well 65mm resolution.

  8. Re:The pirates response... on Nerdy Photo in Vista DVDs Thwarts Disk Pirates · · Score: 1

    Make it so.

  9. Wrong Side on Nerdy Photo in Vista DVDs Thwarts Disk Pirates · · Score: 1

    It's the stuff on the other side we are boosting.

  10. Re:Vegetarian on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 1

    True enough, although I have no residual build up from hormone tainted meat and almost no bad cholesterol. There are a couple of other benefits as well but I do have to eat very carefully to bulk.

      I just got tired of the undoubtedly fat and ugly posters babbling about their carnivorousness. I don't eat animals because as a Buddhist I will not take a viewpoint into this universe for food.

  11. Re:Vegetarian on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 1

    My daughter is 28. You will find, if you are lucky, that women, who care, learn all kinds of interesting things about men and the ones who have been around a bit ate often the most fun. YMMV ... puppy.

  12. Vegetarian on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Seeing that this thread is about vegetarians I will reveal a little bit about myself, a lacto - ovarian vegetarian, milk and eggs since I was 18.

      I'm 60. Run 4 miles every few days. Lift weights nearly every day and hit on women with ,some success, old enough to be my daughter. My daughter is amused by this.

      Have fun with your bits of dead animal.

  13. Re:Enter the rise of Vegetable Rights Activists! on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 1

    When you've spilled enough blood ... you'll understand.

  14. Re:Umm a plant? on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 1

    It is alive .. like you.

  15. Re:From TFA: on Microsoft, Sony Clash Over Vista Turbo Memory · · Score: 1

    Ah .. you changed geeks to users. Wise.

  16. Zonk on Gateway Customer Sues to Get His PC Fixed · · Score: 5, Funny

    He just posts here ... I don't think he reads the site much.

  17. Re:Analog hole... on Vista Media Center Plus CableCard Equals No TV · · Score: 1

    I've talked to them and they really don't seem to care about Linux.

  18. Re:Analog hole... on Vista Media Center Plus CableCard Equals No TV · · Score: 1

    From the manual:

      "If you need lower data rate editing you can select from a range of professional compressed video capture modes."

    Yeah if it's HDMI it does.

  22. Re:Linux, RAID 5, md on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 1

    I need to capture HD SDI at about 180MB/sec. Solid no screw ups. I was thinking a honking RAM disk and a RAID5 array of perhaps 6 500G drives.

  23. You don't understand on Putin Threatens US Missile Bases In Europe · · Score: 1

    Putin does not care about the missiles. This is not about Iranian missiles. It is a rather good scam by the US that is not gonna fly.

      The reason the US wants that installation is for the radars involved. The reason Putin is pissed is because these radars right in his own back yard will make it possible for the US to implement a boost phase strike on his outgoing ICBMs.

      It screws the balance wildly and Putin will do what he has to to prevent this. Targeting the installation is a sure thing.

  24. Re:Editorial Request (Please Read on June 28th) on iPhone Release Date Is June 29 · · Score: 1

    Mac geeks is an oxymoron.

  25. Re:We need more cameras on British Civil Liberties Film Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ever fire a gun? A useful one, one that will stop a big ugly guy, is a heavy kicking beast. If it ever comes down to a gun fight the guy in better shape will be able to aim more rounds faster.

      Your puny ass is puny armed or not.

      The point is that if there are no guns around the damage will be done by other, much less lethal means. Another point is that it is much harder to kill someone when it's up close and personal, like with a knife.

      I just want the sharp objects out of the nursery. It most surely is, as you and most of the rest of this comment section display pretty juvenile thinking.
