    I got into a fight with a girlfriend about this once. I called her an idiot for saying irregardless. Merriam Webster has it in the dictionary, the sick bastards actually put it in. Of course if it's in the dictionary it MUST be a word. Ugh.

  11. Re:Armenians!!! on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Please show me where he admits that these "Young Turks" slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent Armenians and appropriated massive amounts of land from Armenia and why he severed all military ties with France because they prohibited denying that the genocide took place. Of course I don't really think banning speech, no matter how absurd, is good, but it does display a rather defensive and childish character within the Turkish government. Getting over it involves admitting wrong, and Turkey doesn't seem to be anywhere close to doing that.

  12. Re:Armenians!!! on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Armos deserve, at the very least, for Turkey to admit what they did. Of course Condoleeza Rice has helped to make sure this doesn't happen. US Bases might be the reason.

    "What we've encouraged the Turks and the Armenians to do is to have joint historical commissions that can look at this, to have efforts to examine their past, and in examining their past to get over it," the AP quoted her as saying.

    I wonder how the Jews, or the slaughtered people of Darfur would feel about being told to "get over it".

    btw, I am not Armenian.

    If putting the AOL icon on the desktop that gets wiped out as soon as it enters the building subsidizes our purchase of new HP machines, then thank you AOL :)

  16. Re:It's about time on Huge Linux Desktop Deals Get HP Thinking · · Score: 1

    Companies, such as the one I work for, image their machines with a corporate image built by a systems integration team. Things such as "AOL preinstalled" are no worry. The first thing we do with new HP workstations is to reimage them. The majority of HP customers, I would assume, aren't concerned with what comes preinstalled.

    There are 15 messages from DanielEran in uk.comp.sys.mac since November 12th. They are indeed blog link posts, but hardly a FLOOD.

  21. Re:Three Words on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    But will the string module really be removed? This brings us back around to Microsoft... legacy support kills progress. I work at a major financial corporation, a Win2K shop. The legacy support is crucial. The fact that Production Technology cannot swiftly adapt to new technologies in a company that supports 100k users is a huge problem for Microsoft. So instead of truly innovating, they stagnate within the box of their bottom line.

  24. Re:lying in court? on RIAA Mischaracterizes Letter Received From AOL · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    [...] the RIAA said it had a letter from AOL 'confirm[ing] that defendant owned an internet access account through which copyrighted sound recordings were downloaded and distributed.'

    I hate hate hate the RIAA. I hope they die. BUT this sounds to me like they are saying they have a letter from AOL saying that the accused had an account corresponding to the IP address they claim downloaded and uploaded the files in question. I read the AOL letter, which is nothing but a list of IP addresses and the corresponding account holders (of which all were redacted except the party in question). They are just saying she was the account holder of the IP address that they probably have in some screenshots.
  25. Re:Live? on What Live CDs Do You Carry Around? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I prefer "The Song Remains the Same". I throw a Gentoo LiveCD into the same case.

    I work in a Windows shop and I use the Gentoo install-x86-minimal-2006.1 CD regularly to pull files from old crashed Win2k hard drives. It's nice, for me.
