  1. Re:UK buyers screwed again? on Xbox360 Pricing, 2 Models at Launch · · Score: 0

    They won't be kicking you the fuck out.

    They'll be forcing you to pay AND locking you the fuck up. So then you'll be stuck in the country.

    Most people work their asses off for their money. What makes you an exception to having to pay the taxes that everyone else does?

    If you want to avoid paying sales tax, move to a state that doesn't have one. You can move to states that don't have an income tax either. If you're that worried about the tax.

    But don't imply that anyone that pays the tax is not working their ass off for the money.

    There are already cable modems with built in wireless routers/access points.

    Also, what if you won the lottery? Or what if you won the lottery during a power outage and someone broke into your house? What if it was snowing and your power was out and someone broke in a stole your lottery ticket?

  4. Re:Consumers also thought beta was better than VHS on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 0

    I have porn that was prerecorded on Beta. So I doubt that was the case.

  5. Re:Then what? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 0

    I thought the worst act of terrorism perpetrated on Americans before 9/11 was the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City. Which was committed by Americans.

    Nah, the other chipmaker will want: suingin.tel

  7. Re:No more Earthlink over Time Warner? on Cable Internet Service Not Common Carrier · · Score: 0

    No, Time Warner Cable has been allowing Earthlink and several other regional ISP's share its lines for a few years now.

    They did this so that they would not be forced into regulation, and there is no reason for them to stop doing it. Since they make revenue from each ISP that shares their lines, and they don't have to provide anything extra.

  8. Re:Quick? on Identity Thieves Drain Unemployment Benefit Funds · · Score: 0

    Well, what is the quickest you've ever made $1.04 million?

  9. Re:Why am I even wasting my time reading this? on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Your dumbass shouldn't be eating food over your $2000 laptop.

    Who taught you how to take care of your stuff?

  10. Re:Stupid question... on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1

    PDU's in a data center are fed from the building UPS. You don't plug a UPS into a UPS, that's just pointless, and could actually cause an outage when there wouldn't otherwise be one. Yes, it would have stopped this outage. But imagine, you have a UPS in your rack. That UPS fails. But the entire datacenter is still running just fine, but your rack lost power because you decided it was a great idea to put in a UPS for "redundancy." Job = Lost. Dual power supplied servers is what would have helped here, not more UPS's. Generally, a real data center provides redundant power feeds served from 2 different PDU's which are each served by a different UPS. Which ideally should be served by 2 generators. But when a breaker is flipped, your only safety net are dual power supples.
