    Your a sheep if you agree , your a zelout if your agree , if you disagree your a troll , if you disagree your a tool.

    Though i do advise the reintroduction of corpral punishment for the use of the terms fanboi , zelout , and sheeple

  2. Re:Can't make this shit up... on Life As A Soul Calibur Model · · Score: 1

    Id rather have some odd exceptions of children name jobbie wanksalot than have everyone name William jefferson X or MArtha X or so on. State aproved names just seems incredibly dodgy to me . ;) though a psychological examination of the parents may be in order.

    I just wish people would stop calling them liberals , I am a liberal (in the true sense) not the warepd word liberal used in the states ...

  5. Re:Inflation relation? on $300 XBox 360 by Thanksgiving · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I ran this through the books a week or so ago , what it breaks down to is an 18 euro inrease across the board( obviously due to the weakness of the dollar that to you is about 100) , honestly the new consoles are not offer inflated from the last release ist just seems harsh due to the fall of the dollar

    Well i did use a bit of hyperbole , though over here 100,000 could hire a couple of Special ed teachers.
    If they do make headways moving to OSS they could save a lot more . I prefer my optimism, as one Special ed teacher can make alot of difrence to a few kids , it may be a small dent but a small dent is always beter than non(unless your talking about your car then a small dent is rather irritating) .

    C&O budgets can be reapropriated and funneld into other areas . Ofcourse it requires creative(legaly creative) book keeping , but you can get away with it

  9. Good to see some positve propaganda for once on 2-Year OpenOffice High School Case Study · · Score: 1

    If a school can save that ammount of money on software and have no ill effects on the education process then way to go .
    100,000 can be spent to hire special teachers and improve the quality of education for all.
    OO.org is perfectly useable and i have infact switched all my machines(home naturaly as they are all linux or os x and i dont own MS office for mac , but mainly work ) to using OO.org .
    I counducted a 2 hour training sesion in the basics for the employes, though it was uneeded mostly and we have never looked back .
    plowing the type of money that is required to fit all the computers in a school with the latest versions of windows and MS products is a major drain on revenue , infact for any company . If you for some reason need features not avaliable yet in open office then you have no choice . Though all things considerd i would rather spend the one time retraining costs than pay for an update to MS office.
    (I have managed to switch a fair few clients at the office to linux too , which saved us more money ;) allowing me to get my spanky new server)

    Yeah , shame that never came to pass . Though i didn't nick the idea i got it back in 93 after playing simcity 2k(i think it was 93) . I just thought how cool it would be to mix Arena (elder scrolls1 , but in a more sci-fi vent)) elite and sim city into one combined space saga

    Its rather unpopular in Wales and in Scottland and afaik the north of England as well (not sure about the south).Even if it does pass i can see alot of people up near my homeland doing the same as they did when the poltax occured and having massive protests and civil disobediance ..
