  1. Re:I bet the CIO/IS Director is a MBA on Piracy Setup Discovered in WV Capitol Building · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I fought it, because the people issuing the fines will be the government, and the people paying the fines will be the government, and erm umm, doh! 4. THE LAWYERS PROFIT

  2. Re:Help!!! on Piracy Setup Discovered in WV Capitol Building · · Score: 1

    You should be bloody well ashamed, heh, but seriously, that is not the problem. The problem is that most of the MBA grads (of any speciality) are technically on the same level as a 6 day "boot camp" MCSE.

    WRONG! The difference is that I do not think my degree makes me a genius.

    See, you are a great example! You cannot be in charge because you possess a clue :-)

  5. I bet the CIO/IS Director is a MBA on Piracy Setup Discovered in WV Capitol Building · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Take one college educated idiot (Usually a MBA)
    2. Place in charge of a group of geeks who actually know their jobs
    3. Pay Fines!

  6. People write them all the time on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 1

    People write them all the time, but like most college textbooks regarding computers they are so horribly outdated by the time they hit the streets that they provide nothing but humor fodder for IS departments.

  7. Slash used to be a much better place on WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There was a time in the history of slashdot when this would have been dissected in terms of a technological perspective. Now we just have anyone who is offended with Gibson attacking him. I have to wonder how many script kiddies are the base of the anti-Gibson press, because regardless of his state of mind, he has contributed more to system security than anyone who is flaming him.

  8. Hrm on MySpace Users Revolt Against Murdoch · · Score: 1

    You can mode this as flamebait but I do not really care about Myspace users, they and Xanga compromise the new AOL. Their users are net ignorant, cost me money each month from hotlinking to images on my site, and are rude about it when you ask them to stop. If they disappeared tomorrow the signal to noise ratio of web traffic would double, go check out some of their pages, they load sound, video, crap and universally suffers NAWS (Nasty Arse Webpage Syndrome)

    I welcome them having problems.

  9. Digital TV is yesterday on Sorting Through the Analog to Digital TV Mess · · Score: 1

    Anyone reading this board other than the wannabes should be ashamed to admit owning a TV by 2009. The platform is dead as the Amiga 500 with HD and RAM expansion in my garage.

    Do no evil, but own 5% of it!

  11. Once you know... on Cameras Online? How The Shysters Work · · Score: 2, Informative

    Once you know, you Newegg. If you must use online places other than Newegg, I agree entirely with earlier posters who mentioned resellerratings. Oh and BTW never trust the ratings on Pricewatch, they are always stacked, even Target PC Inc is rated well there, and they are so far from reliable that they almost made me stop shopping online.

  12. I had the same type of experience w TargetPC Inc on Consumer Strikes Back at Crooked Online Retailer · · Score: 1

    TargetPC Inc did me, so I posted the story on the blog that my wife and I maintain. Now when you google "TargetPC Inc" you see my bitch about their lameness third, I made sure resellerratings knew about them, and I tried to warn pricewatch users, but they fill their own feedback on pricewatch up hoping to snag the unknowing. Revenge is high google placement about how bad you suck :-)

  13. Re:Wonderful on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People in their teens are "arrogant, idiotic, irritating, annoying and ignorant" you may not feel as if YOU are, but that is the arrogant part. Idiotic may be a little strong, but lacking any worthwhile world experience (no matter what you think, you DO lack it) but it makes you appear that way to people possessing a clue(tm). Irritating is due to all the other factors. Annoying is because you fail to realize the level of your arrogance, and ignorance. Lastly, you do not have the breadth of experience needed to recognize this simple fact which is the ignorant part.

  14. Re:I think I will stick to Slashdot on The Rise of Digg.com · · Score: 1

    heh nice dup effect, but seriously I know which editors to ignore, and I would rather read something intelligent twice than read something AOL level twice.

  15. I think I will stick to Slashdot on The Rise of Digg.com · · Score: 1

    Digg appears to be aimed at the Xanga/Livejournal/Myspace/Yahoo/AOL types and I prefer signal to noise with my bandwidth. I realize that Slashdot could become irrelevant with the custom news sources and ease of their configuration but I am not willing to let a net gaggle like Digg decide my news for me yet.

  16. Re:I don't see why on Wikimedia Proposes Advertising [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes but not if he is referred to inacurately, this has been done for some reason since Roger and Me because it lends some sort of blue collar credential to someone who possessed none.

  17. Re:I don't see why on Wikimedia Proposes Advertising [Updated] · · Score: 1

    I think you just do not get it, I think Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh are both the problem. Sigh, people cannot escape the two party thing for even a minute. Jon Stewart identified it as hurting American, and I agree. Wikipedia just allows this to happen with the pretense of fact.

  18. Re:I stopped using Wikipedia on Wikimedia Proposes Advertising [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Good thing you posted as a coward, because I was referencing the Flint Michigan entry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint%2C_Michigan ) NOT the Michael Moore entry, and prior to today when it was changed again you can see a history of changes ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flint%2C _Michigan&action=history ) that keep trying to add him to and remove him from Flint. he did not work or live in Flint, and did nothing in the city other than to malign it and do so inaccurately. It is amazing that this single lie is fought over so often. Wikipedia as such remains the province of warring factions, not the domain of fact.

    Identifying fact as flamebait is the action of someone trying to deny truth.

  19. I stopped using Wikipedia on Wikimedia Proposes Advertising [Updated] · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia, it is a set of webpages maintained by far right and left wing drips. My hometown is Flint, Michigan. Michael Moore is NOT from Flint Michigan, but try to change it. His undereducated and underworked fanbois ensure that misinformation is the order of the day. Pick any issue that can have a political bias and some moron of a republican, or lemming of a democrat ensures that the truth is secondmost to their political point. It only has value for specific data (dates, times, etc), and when it is compared to real databases of factual data it shows up horribly by comparison. Let them add ads, then the Wintendo generation will be even less capable.

    Money people have been robbing idea people for centuries, while I think it is wrong, just consider that William G BOUGHT DOS, he did not code it.

  25. LOL on Credit Card Required To View 'M' Rated Information · · Score: 2, Funny

    I will skip activision game data, I have seen the coding of their games, their is no way I trust the coding of their "secure" servers. Really anyone willing to give up credit card data to see a game trailer/preview is seriously confused about life priorities.
