  1. Lame on Top 10 System Administrator Truths · · Score: 0

    Sorry, but that list was pretty lame. It's like the writer couldn't decide whether to be funny, or actually helpful. Ah, whatever, at least it gave me something to do for 5 minutes.

  2. Re:Thats it, I quit everything on Drink Decaf and Die · · Score: 1

    Well, it gives me kidney stones so I'd say caffeine is bad for me, at least. In fact, had one last week (that makes 8 so far.) I really should stop drinking caffeine.

    "Dark and Light". First line of his post.

  4. Re:Thank god for France! on French Riots Lead to Crackdown on Blogs · · Score: 1

    Sure you can. You just have to pay the proper taxes. For instance, a suppressor (silencer) is perfectly legal (in most states) as long as you fill out thw ATF form and pay a $200 stamp tax. Same thing with fully automatic rifles/machine guns. You just have to jump through certain hoops.

    Mod parent up! (Funny, Insightful) You mind if I copy that to my journal? That was great!

  6. Re:Talk to those that wrote it down? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    The Bible is actually one of the first places that mentions a spherical earth. (Isaiah 40:21-22, Proverbs 8:27, Job 26:10, and a few others).

  7. Re:Talk to those that wrote it down? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Well, the answer to this question is simple. Revelation 22:18-19 "(18)I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. (19) If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book." There are to be NO additions or deletions to the Bible. That is why a lot of Christians have some real doctrinal disputes with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, as they have added an entire book to the Bible (and that is a debate for another time).

    Excellent post. Kudos. One thing though, this is slashdot: intellectual honesty not spoken here.

  9. Re:ATI Video on Answers From The Civ IV Team · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've read a lot about this, but I have not had a problem at all (9800pro and a 9000mobile). It's got to be more than a driver issue. I have heard that some people have been able to get it to work with older drivers (4.7-5.7).

    When it contradicts law-enforcement and national security, for one.

  11. Re:Bloggers aint journalists on Bloggers Not Eligible for Shield Law? · · Score: 0

    Journalists carry a moral responsability to be impartial (except on op-ed pieces), check their sources, check their sources' statements, and to print the truth That's true, but we've all seen over the past few years how badly this standard has dwindled, to what has become almost "Print whatever you feel like, and if it turns out wrong, we might retract later after everyone has forgotten aboutit." If journalists are to be held to that standard and receive the benefit of BEING a journalist, then the standard has to be enforced. The trick is enforcing it without the government being involved, so as to stave off any notion of preferrential treatment.

  12. Re:Good. They shouldn't be. on Bloggers Not Eligible for Shield Law? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What accountability? Networks and papers run crap all the time that's not correct, and never get called on it. (ie, there's 10,000 dead people in New Orleans; they're eating people in NO, etc...)

    I just got done playing the first three chapters of this game tonight and it is AMAZING! Graphics are so-so, but the STORY! The story is so immersive, I forgot where I was for a while. Highly recommended.

  15. Re:This is a surprise? on Games Can Make Us Cry · · Score: 0

    I have never been as emotionally attached to a game as I was when I played Call of Duty. I cried at the end, because you really get a feeling of what those guys went through. It was amazing.

  25. Re:Obvious answer? on Firefox Hits 80,000,000 Downloads · · Score: 0

    I've been using IE7 since it came out in beta, and I absolutely love it. I've quit using FF altogether. My only complaints about IE7 is the menubar that can't be moved, and the favorites list. But I'm used to it now, so it's not really a problem. The thing hasn't crashed, locked up, or caused ANY problem whatsoever since I installed it. And it's FAST. Anyway, I'll probably be modded troll because I like IE7, but thought you might be interested in an alternative viewpoint.
