  1. Re:The Real World on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is exactly what happens in Kansas during hunting season. If you hunt on someone's land without permission, the will come meet you with a gun. People don't want their land littered with trash, rutted with prints from four wheelers, illegal activity (meth labs, stealing of Anhydrous Ammonia) happening. And what people forget on the east and west coasts is that YOU are the own sheriff of your property. The USA provides protection for the rancher in this case against intruders, not the other way around. Of course, in Kansas, this is also completely normal. Guns are not a big deal, it's usually turns into a conversation piece. Usually beer is exchanged and some words about the harvest that year and the weather patterns. Then everyone goes their merry way and remembers to call the next year.

  2. TCO: Doesn't include the hardware to run Vista on Steve Ballmer on MS Server, Linux, Yahoo & More · · Score: 5, Informative

    Aparently his version of TCO doesn't include buying completely new machines in order to run Vista. After all, Vista is only 1/2 as slow on the same hardware... I remember the day when your programs took more resources than the operating systems... those were the days.

  3. Swedish Pride? on Four Indicted in Pirate Bay Case · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that the Swedes are very independent and would not be pushed around by international influences... I feel for the people but I hope they have courage enough to stand up against the money machine attacking their liberty/sovereignty and send these fools packing!

  4. Re:What else do they decide to forward or not? on University of Kansas Will Not Forward RIAA Letters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Kansas University is a pretty big school (~40k students I think...) The other large university (Kansas State University) just blocks all P2P; I used to work for the Enterprise Server group there.

  5. Re:So, PHP means ? on March To Be Month of PHP Bugs · · Score: 1

    Yeah, for real! PHP=Personal Home Page . Please lets the PHP fad die already, I have been waiting for this! Move on to Ruby , or face the cold hard truth that Java is the new COBOL. You can't kill it, every major company uses it, and now... it's becoming open source. Dear god, run for the hills! Now someone please post the Month of Blendtec Bugs

  6. Ignorance on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    If this news surprises you, you have a dim view of the world. I am from Kansas, and I am Catholic and have attended catholic schools my entire life. I have never ever been taught creationism, and you will be laughed if you mention it. I am surprised the Vatican would ever come out with a statement such as this; They have never denied evolution, it is your idiot fundamentalist school board members that are the problem.

  7. Mailing address on The First Annual Underhanded C Contest · · Score: 1

    I Have a XP cd that has no patches, where do i send it?

  8. From the Same state that... on Apple Wins Against Bloggers · · Score: 1

    ...the Pledge of Allegence unconstitutional! Buy up lan in Nevada, when the next quake hits and California breaks off into it's own country of raging liberals, you'll have beach front property!
