  1. Re:Nuclear myths on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 1

    Finish the quote: Which really bothered them because they knew Saddam had them, and they knew he wasn't giving full disclosure on what he did with them.

    I think the actual truth is, Saddam was bluffing. He did have them in the early 90s (what do you think he used on the Kurds, harsh language?). I think he lost the ability to manufacture them, but wanted everyone to THINK he had them so they'd continue to fear him.

    We also know that he was bribing the crap out of France, Germany and Russia to get the sanctions lifted, and that he had biological and chemical weapons programs in place and ready to roll the moment the sanctions were lifted. The estimates were about 6 months to ramp up to full production.

    Repeating the mantra: We didn't find WMD, just shows how effectviely you swallowed the propaganda, probably because it already agreed with your preconceptions about Republicans in general and Bush in particular.

    In other words, you believed it so easily because you WANTED it to be true so badly.

  2. Re:Wow. on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 1

    Probably not. You see, Hiroshima is a booming and bustling city today. Hundreds of thousands of people live there. I was friends with a lady who was born and grew up there.

  3. I'm sure Dell on Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    could petition to become an Apple Certified Reseller if they are serious about offering OS X machines.

  4. Danger Will Robinson on House Limits Patriot Act Rules on Library Records · · Score: 1

    Republican Representatives vote against Patriot Act. Knee Jerk anti-Republican reflex threatened. Must scramble to justify prejudice. Must reach Slashdot Liberal spinner. Must reach....mind fading...Republicans voting against....urghghg

  5. Never underestimate on Court: Borders Web Ops Must Remit CA Sales Taxes · · Score: 1

    The lengths governments will go to tax you. Sometimes they'll even make you think they're taxing an evil corporation instead.

  6. Re:Not will use, but *might* use on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    I would never dual boot a Mac into Windows. I would run Windows in Virtual PC. For one thing, rebooting is a pain in the butt. Secondly, VPC allows me to sandbox my Windows session, a must when using Windows.

  7. Re:Not will use, but *might* use on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    The hardware model has been even more successful for Dell.

  8. Re:YOU can live under such gravity! on Rocky Planet Discovered · · Score: 2, Insightful
    why don't we just terraform earth back to how it should be?

    I vote for the Earth as it should be in the Jurassic period. I like jungles. My wife votes for the Earth as it should be during the last ice age. She likes to ski.

    We both vote to shoot all idiots who think there is some static utopian version of Earth where all the bunnies romped around happy and free until man came and set up a factory.

  9. Tried both on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 1

    Switched back to QWERTY, it does load balancing between the hands better than DVORAK.

  10. That's going to be a neat trick on Is Piracy the Pathway to Apple Profit? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Considering that Apple is probably going to use the DRM features of the Pentium M chip to lock OS X to Apple-branded computers.

  11. What a great business plan on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Launch a service that duplicates what's already out there, and make it so that the downloads play on players that nobody buys.
