  2. Re:Shamelessly off-topic, but must be done... on Evolution of Mammals Re-evaluated · · Score: 1

    First of all, 99% of polls are useless. :P

    They are all subject to the bias of the analyst. What Conservapedia doesn't tell you in the blurb is that an additional 27% of Americans believe people evolved with divine guidance. What's sad (IMHO) is that greater than 50% of "All Americans" believe that we were just winked into existence by a divine power.

  3. Re:Ask A Gay Man on YouTube Announces First Award Winners · · Score: 1

    I think that was Paul Moody's "Ask a black man" segment on Chappelle's show. No idea whether Paul's gay or straight. Damn funny, tho.

    Sounds cool, you wouldn't happen to have a YouTube link to that would you? Oh, wait... Comedy Central... Viacom... never mind. :P

    "Perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the name of their protection."

    Nice spin on the "think of the children" angle.

  12. Re:A tad overpriced? on AMD's All-in-One Media Machine · · Score: 1
    Actually even a P4 would have tempted me over AMD for a multimedia machine.

    Yeah, and with that P4 it would also function as a space-heater. Now that's an all-in-one device.

    They would probably fall back to using rubber bullets... or fire hoses... W00t, wet millimeter-wave-armor contest!

  16. Re:So... on Indian College Students Face Bleak Prospects · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and those courses give you the analytical skills to be more than a mere rote programmer, or as I like to call them, "code parrots". All they can do is mimic what their professor told them, and have no ability to expand there knowledge to become a real developer.

  17. Re:Again on Changing Climates for Microsoft and Google · · Score: 1

    Wait, you are equating VS.NET to an F1 race car?

    If Eclipse is a free midsized sedan, then VS.NET is an overpriced, 3 ton SUV. Does it have every conceivable feature on the planet? Yep. Do you need/use every conceivable feature on the planet? Nope.

  20. Re:What About Microsoft? on Google and Yahoo! Working Together On Better Web Indexing · · Score: 1
    Its not the fact that we ignore the good things that Microsoft do...its the fact that that Microsoft rarely do a sumthing good that we get distracted by the bad things its doin....take XP for example....everytime Microsoft do something good, i still can't help but want to throw my computer out the window because XP is always crapping out on me. plus the fact that the good things that Microsoft *rarely* do are always so small and insignificant that no one cares.
