  1. Re:Why Are They Only Targeting Wikipedia on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Why, The One True Sauce, of course!

  2. two vast and trunkless legs of stone.com on How Microsoft-Yahoo Will Affect Open Source · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ping av.com - it's shorter to type, is always up, and is a useful reminder that you can have a dominant position in the search market one year, and be practically unused the next.

  3. Vital Issue on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am disappointed that neither candidate has come out in favor of accelerated particle beam weapon research.

    Screw the flying car - I want my death ray, the way this race is going.

  4. Best Presidential Candidate for Republicans on Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans · · Score: 5, Funny

    This candidate looks presidential - somewhat like John Adams.
    This candidate has Senate experience.
    This candidate hews to many of the accepted neoconservative principles.
    This candidate early on supported the Iraq war.
    This candidate's nomination would galvanize the conservative voters.
    Republicans, I present to you:
    Hillary Clinton (R)

    Wha... "claytronic" robots?

    I never foresaw that the machines that take over the world in the future would look like Gumby...

  7. Re:Plans are in development... on Details of Cyber Storm War Games Released · · Score: 1

    The answer, as always, is: lots and lots of duct tape.

  8. Re:Text of posting (TFA) on How Pervasive is ISP Outbound Email Filtering? · · Score: 1

    I like to use that phrase in a philosophical tone, thusly:
    "Hmm.. I could care less about you... an interesting concept, and a new personal goal!"

  9. Re:Very odd on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Please stop using the M$ abbreviation. Its childishness drags down the intended level of your post into 'troll' range. Besides, to be consistent then you would need to use 'M$N' and 'P$3' as well.

  10. Text of posting (TFA) on How Pervasive is ISP Outbound Email Filtering? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I will no longer be able to point to my home server on these lists because Cox
    rejects such messages as spam. The message given when I try is:

    Sending failed:
    Could not write file The message content was not accepted.
    The server responded: "ID_INTENTIONALLY_REMOVED This message was
    undeliverable. This message has been found to be a potential spam message,
    and has therefore been blocked. Please visit http://coxagainstspam.cox.net/
    for more information.".
    Disk full.
    The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem
    (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.
    The following transport protocol was used:
    smtp.east.cox.net

    . . .

    I could care less that their disk is stuffed and suspect it is misdirection.

    This censorship is only a minor inconvenience but the message it sends is
    ugly. It says, in so many words, that the internet is for your consumption
    not participation. Changing messages to point to my physics page gets around
    the immediate problem, but most people do not have such a thing nor should
    they be forced to host things on someone else's computers. I'm paying for my
    bandwith, why can't I use it for what I want? Finally, subscribers now know
    that every word of every message sent is filtered. Will they filter my IM
    conversations next?

  11. Re:We are living through history, folks on The Next 25 Years in Tech · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Pish. My dad was born in 1924. He experienced the Great Depression, served in WWII, Korea, lived through Vietnam, riots, a massive increase in crime, saw technology enable us to break the sound barrier, vaporize cities, shrink a building-sized computer to a twelve-inch box, and land on the moon.

    We're dwarfs.

    You just need to find someone who is aerodynamically curvaceous.

  13. Re:On the topic of "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" on Artificial Bases Added to DNA · · Score: 1

    Then you admit that sometimes it's just plain fun to put on your lab coat, sinister-looking goggles, rubber gloves, and appear on the balcony screaming: "FOOLS! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!!" ...and then calmly go back to work on the deadly diseases and radioactive isotopes.

    Jamie's the one who tries NOT to get hurt on the show, of course.

    As a bonus, pass a law giving evil men immunity.

    >"Weighing in at a mere 1 pound, the plane's diminutive 29-inch wingspan can still loft a variety of hefty payloads..."

    No, it can't. For example, it won't have the capacity to carry weapons or even a very good video camera. It won't have a long-range transmitter. Because it's lightweight.

    Like the article...

    By and large, I have my settings configured to ignore Anonymous Cowards. It just saves me a lot of annoyance.

    Your postings seem well-informed and thoughtful. Why stoop down and talk at their level?

    I'm thinking of getting Mass Effect now due to your posts.
