  1. Re:Funny on Lack of Technology Puts Star Wars Series On Hold · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure it was worth skimping on the steadycam for special effects. I can't stand watching it even though I enjoyed the other Stargate series. (Might be an issues with the god damn soap opera acting and dialogue but that's for another topic.)

  2. I'm sure I speak for all of us on Lack of Technology Puts Star Wars Series On Hold · · Score: 1

    We're very, very disappointed that this isn't going to happen.

  3. Re:Again, in English? on NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a Freudian slip?

  4. Re:Technology will solve these problems. on Carbon Emissions Reached Record High In 2010 · · Score: 1

    Reforestation couldn't hurt. We're still pretty boned though if this study is confirmed: Trees absorbing less CO2 as world warms.

    Wow. That joke whooshed over your head even more than a couple of planes over New Yo- oh. Never mind.

    That's a bit of an exaggeration, right? I mean, terrorists directly impact fewer people than the orders from these CEOs....

  7. Re:I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this one.. on Anti-Porn Facebook Page is Deleted, Then Restored · · Score: 1

    So we should be tolerant of other people's intolerance as well?

  8. Re:Mixed bag on Experts Say Gestural Interfaces Are a Step Backwards In Usability · · Score: 2

    I prefer interfaces augmented with gestures like Opera with mouse gestures. I don't use all the gestures but new tabs, closing the current tab, moving forward or backward in history, those get used a lot.

    'course, I tend to dislike touchscreens but the thought of touchscreen PCs or Kinect interfaces for PCs are even more annoying.

  9. Re:Curious question on 10-Year Study Reveals Electron Shape · · Score: 1

    I have learned from an inside source that the electron in question was born in Kenya or Indonesia and is a muslim. The birth certificate it presented has some very serious flags indicating that the certificate was falsified!

  10. Re:That was quick on Microsoft Promo: a PC and Xbox In Every Dorm Room · · Score: 1

    No, I'm saying there's antitrust issues with MS using their OS division to support and promote their Xbox division (you know, like how it started and the Zune and the Windows phone and search...).

    With your analogy, Ford would have to say, "Buy our car and we'll give you free gas for a year only from Ford Gas Stations."

  11. That was quick on Microsoft Promo: a PC and Xbox In Every Dorm Room · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Wasn't it just a week ago when the antitrust oversight over MS ended?

    Ah HA! You admit to storing copyrighted works! Just wait until the owner's lawyers get wind of this, you damn thievin' pirate!

  13. I hope Ballmer gets jealous on Google Lobbies Nevada To Allow Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 2

    I can't wait for Microsoft's Kinectivehicle running Windows Live Turbo Edition. Oh, okay, even they wouldn't put motion controls in the car. Still after the search engine (all... four? ..of them), the music player and store, the phones... I'd really enjoy watching them throw their hat into the ring.

  14. Re:One can only hope bin laden is alive... on AP Files FOIA Request For Bin Laden Photos · · Score: 1

    On the contrary, I would find it better he be alive and well but without the means to communicate his hatred or the ability to harm others and himself. He would live for no reason and without knowing of the successes or failures of his movement.

    Okay, I'll admit some of them have a catch.

  17. Re:Cheaper than a predator on A New Human-Seeking Drone, Much Cheaper Than a Predator · · Score: 1

    Totally wrong. The first "fat ass" would be skinny (because of pep pills) and the other would also be skinny (from cocaine this time).

    Look, if you're going to ding someone over pride, do it about pride itself. Oooh, born in the US or China! Whoop-de-friggin'-doo~ Does it really fucking matter where you're from or your parents or their parents?

  24. Re:Nothing to see... on Ex-MS GM Can't Work 'Anywhere In the World' For Salesforce · · Score: 1

    I was given a non-compete for canvassing. Yes, fucking canvassing where every day I saw new people apply and were tested in the field, and every day someone else from yesterday was no longer present. Seriously, a non-compete for a job with jack shit for requirements and had an average length of employment at month (a generous estimate).
