  1. Now flash will suck on Adobe Buys Macromedia for $3.4B · · Score: 1

    Great, now flash will bog down your machine, take over the resources and run like a pig that swallowed a medicine ball

  2. Re:Yeah... on A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along? · · Score: 1

    Dual core at this stage reminds me of 2 for 1 pizza. You won't pay 20 bucks for one oice of crap.... well how about 20 bucks for two! pieces of crap...

    I think many go in with good intentions, but the machinery of government by nature is like trying to steer a barge loaded with anvils. After a period, a "screw it all" mentality kicks in and shennanigans begin.

    The entire premise of the article is the dumbest thing I have read in a long time.

    While not filmed there, the CBC is involved in the new Dr. Who as well. Up next, Dr. Who visits Whoville!

    I am fortunately spared that as I am Canadian. On the other hand, I have a member or parliament. No doubt, equally responsive as a congress critter. Actually, I suggest that politicians are evidence of evolution and that some of us have started the trip back.

    I couldn't list them all. Do you have any idea how many religions there are? I don't. Actually, if you think about it, christianity is a johnny come lately. Look at shamanistic religions.

    Uh, yes, they are the biggest single supplier of oil the the US, and provide 40 per cent of the US's energy when you count nat gas and electricity

    Of course US treatment of them may cause that to be cut back dramatically

    It's the way things are done in the US. Also, if it comes right down to it, the only way to truly strike back at a corporation that's wronged you is to hurt them financially.

    Yes, the epitome of being un-american with their cheap drugs and tasty beer. They whine about crowded hospitals when simply keeping out the poor solves the problem. Of course, then the coomies there would whine about the poor not getting treatment when a simple answer like increased gun violence stares them in the face!

    Idiots! We are trying to help you here! Cheap wifi will only allow ordinary people with nothing to sell, er say to get on-line and clog bandwidth.

    Smarten up or the million man march will turn north!

    It is un-american. The new america is government by the lobby group for the lobby group. If you don't like it, move to Cuba or Canada you dinosaur. Next you'll be wanting affordable drugs and health care until ultimately, anyone can get into a hospital just because they're sick!

    As the mythologists correctly point out, we must be fair and give equal time to other theories. I propose schools be required to teach:

    The stork theory in sex ed
    Flat earth theory in geography
    Green cheese moon theory in astronomy
    Politicians serving the people in Civics
    Toilet seat theory of STD vectors in health

    And this just in from ANN (Accurate News Network): Beer Causes Cancer in Asbestos Workers!

    Tempt not the fates! The last time I entered on of these discussion, hunting became poor, and I could not find the herd of pepperoni and bacon pizza pops near the watering hole at the costco, the sea became rough and caused me to drop a prize fishing lure in the lake, and worst of all, the brewery gave sour beer (mind it could have been because it was old milwaukee)! None the less, don't jerk around Odin!

    Happy Frigga's Day to all, and turn from your pagan ways!

  15. Re:Why? on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    Acutally, during the last referendum, it was determined all they might be entitled to was the land it had at confederation - which wasn't much. It was a strip along the St. Lawrence river.

    Of course there is a fault line running under the river as well.

    Another discussion of a bio-science article degenerating into a spitting match between the mythologists and the scientists. Some things never change.

    Well, at least Wodin's Day is almost done, Thor's Day and Frigga's Day to go and I'll spend Saturn's Day and the Sun's Day pondering this, or not. I could just sit around and drink beer.

    You'll all be sorry when Ragarok comes!

  20. Re:They got lazy on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    Ulitmately, they have to get a new writing staff and production team. Someone who can follow the canon of the franchise but inject some real human drama tied to some engrossing stores that show the depth of the crew. Really, would anyone have cared of Torres, or Paris from Voyager fell down a turbolift shaft to their doom? This carried over to Enterprise which seemed totally devoid of characters that made you care about them.

  21. Re:They got lazy on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    We should get it, the CBC is a co-producer. Though my understanding is that they mainly provided money.

  22. Re:They got lazy on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 1

    The ratings for Enterprise were no great shakes my friend. The point was that there is a lot more good science fiction on the air now than ever before. Star Trek has to raise the bar. I could have listed a number of shows, but I take it you get the point.

  23. They got lazy on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Frankly, what killed Enterprise in the end was that same thing that made Voyager suck. The writers, producers, et al got lazy and sucked the meat off a franchise which had a loyal following for many years. They indulged themselves in the stories and forgot to work at producing a good quality show that would keep the fans wanting more and that put the fans first. In the past they didn't have that much compting with them, but the new battlestar galactica, farcape, the new doctor who and other shows that put Enterprise to shame. Manny Coto helped, but by then the damage was done.

    When, if, they resurrect the franchise, they best not do so simply because they take the fans for granted and that they feel a suitable period of star trek starvation has passed.

  24. Re:Why? on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    This came up during the last referendum and the First Nations people (natives) said Quebec had no right to take them out of confederation and that they would remain within Canada. There is also a question of what would happen to the eastern townships where a lot of english-speakers are holed up.

  25. don't get too excited on China PM Wants to Rule Global Tech With India · · Score: 1

    I wouldnt sweat too much over this statement. It is a government offical saying "we have lots of resources in this area, let's use them to dominate the market". Government officials make these kinds of statements all the time. Sometimes, they even come true.

    Can they make an impact, probably, there are two billion people between those countries, or darn near. Will they? Dunno. Reality is the rest of the world will catch up with north america in terms of tech and ultimately standard of living, the fallacy is that north america will blow away because of it.
