  1. Re:Snakes on a Plane on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    If you give people like terrorists a mile ... they will take it till one day you wake up and realize that the terrorists rule and you did nothing about it.

  2. Re:Mocking? on Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat? · · Score: 1

    Uh, search is not in the upper right. It is upper left. And that was there in Windows 3.11.

  3. Re:get a clue on PR Firm Behind Al Gore YouTube Spoof? · · Score: 1

    Then that means the Democracts are just too dumb to get out and vote? Is that what you are saying?

  4. Re:I'm going to have to use the /. rule of thumb on OSS Web Stacks Outperformed by .Net? · · Score: 1

    .NET is a good platform. In fact the folks at MySpace have converted their site to use .NET because in doing so they were able to cut their server farm in half. I think that is significant. And I don't think you can make the argument that they just had their old system set up incorrectly since they happen to be the largest social networkign site out there. I would be willing to bet they know what they are doing.

  5. Re:Article Summary on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 1

    Yes, but he it trying to install it on a new cutting edge machine, who drivers probably haven't even been written for Vista yet. That is the difference. I would imagine that some of the hardware does have Vista driver, but some of it probably doesn't yet.

  6. Re:Defaults vs. Presets on Microsoft's IE7 Search Box Bugs Google · · Score: 1

    "The main difference between the IE7 search box and the Firefox and Opera search boxes is that the IE7 search box comes preloaded with only one search provider: MSN. Firefox and Opera both include a half-dozen or so providers when you install them. (You can add additional search engines in all three.)" Not true IE7 comes with MSN, Yahoo, Ask, Google. At least my does, and I haven't changed a thing. Also It does not default to MSN. It defaults to the users IE6 setting. If the user had Google as their default IE6 setting, then it will default to Google.

  7. Re:Definitely not 0 profit... on IE The Great Microsoft Blunder? · · Score: 1

    IE7 has changed this a ton. The security with IE7 is much beefed up. Also with Vista IE7 and the Windows Explorer are no longer linked. They are separate programs.

  8. Past Tense on Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Uh ... the article headline talks about the Mix conference in the past tense. It hasn't happened yet.

  9. Re:Cool, does it run under KDE? on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 1

    If you're gonna bash MS for buying code, then bash Google too ... Google Earth, Google Analytics, Gmail, etc. Buying a product and rebranding it is not a crime. It's smart buisiness.

  10. Re:His sign on Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns · · Score: 1

    To be fair, his childesh behavior is more or less how the majority of creationists act.

    Majority eh! So you're saying that most creationists are childish. That is an incredible obtuse statement, and I'm not sure how you can actually think that is correct. Thats just like saying the majority of Democrats are stupid. It's an inflamitory stement with no data to back it up. It will gain you little credibiltiy, and enhance you argument none.

    They use little logic, false arguments to bolster their view and when all else fails, they call people names and insult them while simultaneously playing the "don't attack my christian fews you hater!" card.

    So all creationists are Christians too eh? Never mond the Jews, the Mormons, the Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. The idea that there is a creator is not a strictly Christian idea, and to make such a staement show that you are using little logic and a false argument. Also to say that all Christians do is use bad logic and falsities, demeans some of the greatest thinkers of our time (Tolkien, Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., etc.). Next time take a look within before posting such redicoulously unthought out argument.

  11. Non-English language characters on ICANN Plays Down U.S. Influence · · Score: 1

    One other major development this week involves progress toward allowing the use of non-English language characters when steering a Web browser to a particular site. What's that supposed to mean? Non-english language characters. Yeah us English speakers made up those characters, and we just lend them to the Spaniards, the French, the Portugese, the Italians, etc. Seriously, to make a statement like that is basically saying that English speakers run the web and to use the web you need to know English. How arrogant of us English speakers. The characters aren't English characters ... they're Latin characters for crying out loud.
