  1. Balmer and the Hulk on Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are far too many similarities to ignore .

    Banner Vs Ballmer , they both get mad , turn a funny colour and start throwing things around .. (They also both look like near hairless Gorillas )

    There was a jovial tinker which was a good ale drinker, He never was a shrinker believe me this is true,And he came from the Weald of Kent when all he money was gone and spent,Which made him look like a Jack-a-Lent, and Joan's Ale is new!And Joan's ale is new, my boys, and Joan's ale is new.The Tinker he did settle most like a man of mettle,And vow'd to pawn his kettle, now mark what did ensue,His neighbours they flock'd in apace to see Tom Tinker's comely face,Where they drank soundly for a space, whilst Joan's ale was new.And Joan's &tc.

    Seems to me like a good example of a proper fiscal conservative who strongly believes in small business . In American Politics though , I would imagine he is to the left of both main parties

    I mean Liberal in the true sense , A liberal can be either a conservative or a socialist .Liberal in the political sense is the antithesis or Authoritarian . For example Stalin was left wing and Authoritarian , Hitler was Right wing and authoritarian .
    Where as Ralph Nader is Right wing and Liberal and Noam Chomsky is left wing and Liberal

  7. Re:Beware the self-fulfilling prophecy on Jack Thompson Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    Jack Thompson's Arguments extend well beyond the realms of minors and Violent media though . He has tried to tie Games to prolific murder cases(Columbine shooting , Washington Sniper) ,His notable case against the Sims 2( which was spurred on by someone trying to make him look foolish) etc.

    Feeding prejudices .
    The only ban is on the purchases of Nazi memorabilia , displaying the Swastika and t Any book denying the holocaust is illegal I believe (Books specifically about that are on a list) .
    Books and documentaries are available easily ..

    It's just anything promoting the Nazis that is illegal .. whilst this is a restriction on freedoms , it is the only one i have ever noticed in Germany .
    Unfortunately it doesn't help to stop the Neo-Nazi bastards from marching and running for election , they just have to do it under a different logo

    Q: What do all of these people have in common
    Stalin , Hitler ,Jeffrey Dahmer , Charles Manson , Peter Sutcliffe , L Ron Hubbard , Pin head , Jack Thompson

    A: That's right ... non of them played Violent computer|Console|video games ..

    I think we can begin to see some correlation between not playing Violent games and evil .

    Which is roughly the same argument they use to say Games cause violence and it's just as specious

    I kind of like this one
    Once in a while the system will go into an idle mode, requiring from five minutes to half an hour to unwind. It's weird, and I almost always have to reboot. When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I see that the System Idle Process is hogging all the resources and chewing up 95 percent of the processor's cycles.

    Bad analogy . I used one in a previous post .
    here's another .

    Woman :Help police Help
    Police : What is it
    Woman : There is a mad axe-man chasing after me
    Police : Ok we will help , but first you have to sign this contract to give me your right of attorney.. oh and do whatever I want you to do
    Woman : WHAT
    Police : well if you want to die , I will leave you here to be chopped up
    Woman : Ok give me a pen .... Pretty much in both cases , the contracts were signed under duress
