  1. Re:Let the Bush bashing begin! on U.S. Scientists Say They Are Told to Alter Finding · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah, Now just to stop people saying anything about my political agenda, I don't like any of the political parties. I vote by my own feelings and what I see as important, the way it should be. Now I just want to say that the rich should not get taxed a greater percent than the average working man/women and they definitely should not get taxed less. It seems like a good idea to me at least. I also agree with the parent about a lot of rich people working there ass off for it. I have had the priviledge of knowing my current boss before he created this job. He was born in the damn ghetto and has been, at times, reduced to pawning things to put food on the table for his family. He worked 18 hour days, 7 days a week and made this company from scratch. I don't think he should be forced to pay a higher percentage because he worked harder than most people.

  2. Re:Immediate patch... on Symantec Antivirus May Execute Virus Code · · Score: 1

    It would not be difficult to transistion employees? I don't know what miracle place you work at, but there are people at my company who can barely use windows and you want a company to switch to a much less user friendly environment? The time to retrain people would be horrendous and not to mention training them on completely new software. Changing OS for individuals is not viable for most companies. PERIOD

  3. Re:Glad to be wrong on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    Like they did with the greatest series ever, Earth 2?

  4. Re:Wereposts Of London on MGM's DVD Class Action Settlement · · Score: 1

    I'm guilty of not using "where" as well. Ahhh Misties the greatest show ever!

  5. Re:"Presumably..." on MGM's DVD Class Action Settlement · · Score: 1

    One of the greatest MST3k's of all time. That, Delta Knights, and the one were they always say "Rosdower"

  6. Re:Myopia on MGM's DVD Class Action Settlement · · Score: 1

    It's tough to tell unless you have a good copy to compare against. And why would you hear about it? Most of the news companies are owned by giant companies that may have had dealings with MGN before. You don't report this kind of thing.

  7. Re:Java!? on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind · · Score: 1

    At my job I program in flash... How does that work for a screen reader? Does it just make a loud whistle while screaming "YOUR SCREWED"?

  8. Re:Er on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    Every company wants to be a monopoly...few achieve it.

  9. Re:Er on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wow, just because $750M seems like nothing, how many people that have that much money would donate it. Despite popular opinion, Bill gates is not the only person with a lot of money in the world.

  10. Re:Whoops on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 0

    When google indexes, I believe they store a copy of the text and you aren't actually going to the host site. I'm pretty sure that's how it works...That's why you can sometimes get images from sites that have shut down.

  11. Re:Physical access! on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 0

    Are you telling me that the movie "Hackers" was incorrect? Phew, I was worried that someone was going to hack into my office building and turn on the fire sprinklers.

  12. Re:Hah! That is SOOO funny! on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 0

    Wow, sorry if I'm trying to have a little fun while at work on this boring Monday.

    Of course all are welcome...just don't try and catch the metal boomerage

    And the award goes to Windows 95 for best operating system!

  15. An honor? on Writing Fiction Using SubEthaEdit · · Score: 5, Funny

    "national teaching award from Radio Shack" What an honor to win such a thing. What's next? Best movie award from /. ?

  16. I for one welcome change. on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think we need a good end of the world situation. I look forward to leading hordes of bad people in the search for pleasure. I plan on wearing a cool mask and driving a highly tuned car o' death while screaming "Give Me Your Oil!!"...but that's just me.

  17. Re:Linux Desktop Thoughts... on Linux, Inc. · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. How do the games fair honestly and did the site have patches for the games or was it demos only?

  18. Re:ancient global warming on Volcanic Warming Eyed in 'Great Dying' · · Score: 1

    offtopic but nice sig Thor correct?

  19. Re:Linux Desktop Thoughts... on Linux, Inc. · · Score: 1

    Your arguments are valid. We have a linux server at my job and it's a good machine, but it will not replace my home windows desktop until the day linux can handle the newer video cards and can support more of the top games. I'm a gamer and I need something that can handle that.

  20. Re:level of interest on Games Better Than Books? · · Score: 1

    Ahhh Oregon trail, was there anything better than hunting pixelated buffalo? We had the same kind of settup in some of my classes as well. We had the old boot from real floppy disk computers that came with a math racing game. The quicker you solved the problems the faster your speed would be for your car. We were only allowed to play if you finished your work and you had to be quick because there were only 4 machines and 20 kids.

  21. Re:level of interest on Games Better Than Books? · · Score: 0

    Number munchers was awesome! I would play that all the time at school back in the day. Then again, I'm also one of the 4 people who liked mario is missing.

    and hang it on Orion's belt?

  23. Re:Stringtheory... on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 1

    I always thought the general idea was that our Universe was going to slowly stop expanding and start contracting, eventually ending in another big bang and the whole process starts over again.

  24. Re:Don't forget ClearType on your LCD on Monitor Basics - LCD vs. CRT · · Score: 1

    Yeah, It makes colored text blurry as all hell. I turned it on and watched the colored text in my class file go from clear to near unreadable.

  25. Re:Conspiracy? on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: 1

    I'm not positive on the exact legal issues(ie jailtime), but I agree it's a damn stupid law. Although I do remember hearing that owning a copied cd could cost you thousands which makes this conspiracy case seem more plausable :)...I'm not sure about that one either.
