  1. Re:Good work on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    Last time, of course, he was "caught" playing golf, and there was a screaming session. But IIRC, there wasn't anything he could have actually done in that case, other than.. not be playing golf. The whole thing was silly.. what was he meant to do? Sit at home, wringing his hands?

    Yeah you're right. I remember a time at an IT development job when the QA servers went down and the team couldn't do any testing. I personally had no authority to fix the QA servers and my boss wasn't scheduled to come in for another few hours (was working a weekend shift). I made sure to talk to everyone on the QA team, apologize and try to work something else out that they could work on so they weren't pissing money away. The point is my boss came in and saw me trying to do SOMETHING, instead of FUCKING NOTHING. I'm sure if he had of come in and saw me playing golf, he would have given me that big shiny promotion.

    Maybe you forgot he's the President of an entire fucking country.

  2. Re:Prosecute the "sellers" too on Banner Ad on Myspace Serves Adware to 1 Million · · Score: 1

    Thats not correct at all. A better analogy would be a hotel who accepts money from someone who runs into your room and night and kicks you in the dick a few times.

  3. Re:Why would the business people want that? on Crisis in Science Prompts Sharing of Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually I think that pretty much every economic theory would suggest that trading and sharing actually benefits all parties involved. I realize that you are being sarcastic, but maybe if people would actually apply the knowledge humans have acquired instead of just doing business as usual we would all be better off.

  4. Re:Ever hear of NMR structure determination? on Easier Way to Convert Proteins into Crystals · · Score: 1

    NMR has an inherit weight limit. Relatively few protein structures are found using it, most are done by XRAY-C. Currently, of all proteins structured, 5000 are by NMR 28,000 by XRAY. See http://www.pdb.org/pdb/static.do?p=general_informa tion/pdb_statistics/index.html&tb=false

  5. Re:What did the student say? on Dental School Blogger Punishment Reduced · · Score: 1

    This is probaly too late now for anyone to read. But when you go to a post-secondary school (at least here in Canada), you are required to abide by a Code of Conduct. The university I went too would frown upon this type of speech as well. You can choose to not abide by the Code, and therefore not go to the university. I'm not sure if this is a freedom of speech issue at all actually.

  6. AMD more expensive? on Dual-Core Shoot Out - Intel vs. AMD · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Remember when all AMD's were inheritly less then thier Intel counter parts? Times have changed indeed.

  7. Re:Some other info: on IBM-Sony-Toshiba Reveal New Cell Processor Details · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Probably isn't quite as in-depth, though.

    How the fuck did a post which explicitly states it has less information that the main story get modded Informative?

  8. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    The moral is that you must take action to maintain a quiet theatre. You must contact the manager when things go bad. Let them know you're displeased. That will lead to a far more enjoyable movie experience.

    What, and work for the man?

  9. Re:Gotta Wonder.. on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    I think the more important question is who had sex with a crocodile to figure this out.

  10. Re:And the best part... on March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices · · Score: 1

    I agree. With both your wording and your point.

  11. Re:And the best part... on March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices · · Score: 1

    Actually I'm pretty sure evolution makes many, many, many mistakes. Its like the ultimate trial and error method. Saying evolution doesn't make mistakes seems akin to saying it has a plan.

  12. Re:Started by Bush Sr, continued by his son on HP to Layoff 15,000 Employees · · Score: 1

    Money is evil. It makes people do horrible things.

    How is money evil? It is one of the greatest inventions, particularly for the working class. The notion of a universal bartering system freed the lower class from being locked into one supplier to whom they could trade thier labour at unfair rates. It essentially ended a locked trade monopoly imposed by the upper-class.

    I think you meant to say: Humans are evil. They do horrible things.

  13. Re:Expensive to produce on NASA to Research Antimatter Rocket · · Score: 1

    $25 Billion a gram? I'll hook you up for $10 Billion a g or $60 billion for a quarter oz.

  14. Re:lemme get this straight... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 2, Funny

    We used to have a windows network at my university house, and my friend just used his name for his computer id. Anyways in Network Neighborhood it said
