  1. Re:Is this even legal? on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    I see your post is very scientific. Lots of evidence to back up your theories, but where's your big word?

  2. Re:Welcome to reality.... on Are Skimpy Raises the New Normal? · · Score: 1

    Of course, there are also people leaving the job market (dieing, etc) which increases your value.

    Anyway, my point was that there is nothing wrong with expecting raises according to the level of inflation. Otherwise your paycheck is effectively being cut by the level of inflation.

    In any case, I understand and agree with what you're saying. Very realistic.

    wait.. why should you have to work harder to maintain your current wages in the face of inflation? You're still doing the same work, the money is just worth less so you need more of it. If the employers did not give out COLAs, they would be simply reducing the employees' pay over time. no?

    yeah, even the very news articles are ads. i love ads.. wait.

  6. Re:Why not use Miranda? on AOL to Replace AIM with Triton · · Score: 1

    Well one reason why some people don't use Miranda is because it uses TOC (the limited feature set version of Oscar) which gimps is quite a bit. Of course, as I type this my miranda is open on the left side of my desktop.

  7. Re:Let your fingers do the walking ... on Soldering For Non-Solderers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How is phoning around any different than what he just did? And fixing it himself would definitely show the qualities you seem to esteem.

    Hey, you can rip it off as long as your rip off is free :)

    And can you really say they're not resisting change with a straight face?

  9. Re:So... on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

    Ah, well good thing that wasn't my argument. I was merely saying that energy can organize matter together.
    Now on what were you are saying, it depends what you define as information.

    I can't find a good example (other than the obvious one plants do every day) but any endothermic synthesis reaction should fit the bill, neh?

  11. Re:So... on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

    That's just energy. It doesn't put things together in an organizational way.
    actually, that exactly what energy can and does do.

    The Athlon XP was marketed using a PR rating system, which compared its performance to an Athlon Thunderbird.

    perhaps someone should edit that then, but I must ask where you got your information

    It was my understanding that the AMD processor numbers were based off a 1Ghz(?) K7.

    Ha-ha! You got him there! What witty ad hominem. We all know you have to be dumb as rocks to not spell all english words correctly. I think everyone in the world agrees that it's so easy to spell and learn.
    Oh, and have you forgotten that english is not a language regulated by some body? The fact that there are different dialects and different spellings and that it is constantly evolving means that maybe the spelling is *gasp* changing!

    All joking aside, nobody found it funny and I was pushed down several times and nearly beaten up until the doorman pulled me out of there.

  21. Re:Count me in. on Outsourcing To Rural America · · Score: 1

    I agree my breaking an arm example wasn't the best, but in nature you'd be selected out anyway because you are weaker. That's the crap shot you take along with the mutations.

    The theory here is that we will either treat all the newly defected children or we can eliminate that harmful gene through genetic modification. Then again, it seems society has a few qualms with the later. If society can't fix them, then they'll be selected out of the gene pool anyway.

    I'm curious. Would you consider Steven Hawking unfit and thus say he shouldn't [have been/] be cared after?

    I'm glad to see you upholding the "rights" of these "corporate citizen." You, sir, are truly progressive; the patenting of organisms (sorry, there's one thing not patentable: a living, breathing human being) is the only way we'd ever progress as a society.

  23. Re:Count me in. on Outsourcing To Rural America · · Score: 1

    It's called societal/cultural evolution. We are able to supercede natural selection thanks to this. (note: evolution does not choose, it is the result) If you want you can never see a doctor if you break your arm, become sick, etc. Oh, don't use soap or other non-behavioral forms of sanitation to prevent disease because that plays a very large part in natural selection. Picking and choosing just because you don't have the more extreme problems is hypocritical at best.

    "CA got one electoral vote for each 200,000 votes cast in 2000. In Wyoming, the ratio was only 70,000. So a voter in Wyoming had almost three times the influence of a voter in CA." QED.
