  1. Re:Who will pay the damages? Compensation? on Fired Techie Created Virtual Chaos At Pharma Co. · · Score: -1

    Agreed. What's it supposed to represent, anyway? Is it a reference to dumb American accents ala herp-de-herp, or is it a stiffled hahahahaha, or what?

    Yes, I clicked back after posting and the mod listboxes were still present, causing my temporary state of incorrectness. Thank you anyway.

    I think you meant that they split the browser off from the Mozilla Suite, now called SeaMonkey, when they rewrote Mozilla, which at the time was branded Netscape.

    No, but I've noticed that bullies often start abusive sentences with "anyone else notice", hoping that more hungry, desperate wolves will jump on their vulnerable prey...

    You've been playing too much Unreal Tournament. Not that that's a bad thing (unless you're playing it in software rendering on a Pentium!)

    Thank you. I have 5 mod points, but I posted above and don't want to undo my trolling lol - but thank you. This. Is. Brilliant!

    Speaking of which... I think I guessed that you were about to suggest backup? Maintenance isn't limited to upgrades, you know! Preventative maintenance is much more effective than hard disk recovery!

    Wow! That's the first time the lameness filter has eaten parts of my post like that - and considering how lame some of my posts are.,, anyway on with the corrections.

    After "regardless of the" there's a variable place holder in angled brackets called insert liquid here. After told, it said "me". Until you told me, it was a first post, see?

    Thank you...

    I, for one, would never have guessed that. Apart from being illogical, the statement had no value regardless of the .

    In fact, it's a first post, that's all there was to it, until you told. So "the upshot of all this is" that - you advertised Coors Light more than the OP! Thank you!

    If this is your attempt at humour, you need a brain transplant. If it's your attempt at winning the argument about tomatoes, then you should have realised you lost ages ago. You lost when you started bullying someone who was armed with cold, sharp facts for having the er, cold sharp facts and the sheer-mindedness to stand by them. :P

    Your work is far from done, idiot.

    There are more scientifically-minded people here who can see what you're doing.

    All your original assertations were disproved, you then proceeded to twist the meaning of your original statements and fire them back again. You also insulted our Barbie, which has not hing to do with tomatoes.

    "Normal Thinking" got is in Iraq, it caused 9/11, and it's the reason your country is imploding economically. None of it is (was) rocket science, just like the anomaly that tomatoes are fruits but can belong in a salad!! Are you that narrow minded and dumb that how you use the things and their biological classification cannot be seperated in your mind?

    Are Americans all so dumb - you said it - "Normal Thinking" - that I can no longer blame the world situation on malice, that I should feel sorry for you all, after all, you were just being dumb when you bombed Iraq??? Sorry, doesn't wash. Dumb asses.

    WTF? For decades the fact that they aren't the same thing has been known. Advanced Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome is a consequence of HIV, and is damage done to the body by HIV (and other things), not a virus per se, or so leaflets from the City Council and NHS say (last I checked, say a year ago).

    If my facts are wrong, correct me and provide references, that's why we're here, to discuss, and learn. Don't sneer about 99% of the idiots on Slashdot, esp. from an AC banner.

    Yes, yes, on this occasion I admit it, it did. I didn't even read the linked Wiki, I just assumed he was being truthful. It's a serious subject, I tend to take discussions on serious subject too seriously. Thanks for letting me know, I missed out a good joke.

    Wow, if that's true, we have to think long and hard about why it's been suppressed (if it has). Maybe it's not the wonder drug it could have been, and was abandoned for lack of effectiveness.

    Either that, or we're right about Big Pharm. A drug like this doesn't seem to be in their interests at all.

    See, more name-calling, instead of tackling the issues. You're a typical dumb American gun-wielding bully.

    How the hell can one fire from a plane the size of planes which the WTC was designed to resist, with less fuel than in the original plans, cause a collapse on that scale?

    Even Underwriters' Laboratories threw in their two pence in court, and that case was settled out of court, with the US Govt. accepting that the laws of physics as UL saw them must have been bent, BECAUSE THE STEEL WAS OK???

    You'll probably maximise your profits by putting it on eBay, the fact that it's a recycling program, not a trade system, is telling.

    Or, you could cut your profits but maximise your "emotional return" by selling it to someone you know who couldn't afford one otherwise, either on a payment or for cash. Or send it me :P

    OK, my passion is overflowing from last night's action, and the profit is ridiculously overstated, I may even be wrong. But I honestly believe that this is occurring because of the huge gap between the richest and the poor, and the lack of opportunity those thugs have in life.

    "Wow. Talk about egomania."

    No thanks. I'm no princess, and I have no delusions of grandeur, I'm simply not interested. I want to help build a system with checks and balances that prevent ANYONE from having a abusing such power. As someone who already has money and power, you are obviously defending your position against people like me. Do not mistake my passion for egomania. Do not attack me just because my views put you and yours, deservingly, in the firing line. With a name "c6gunner" I would hazard a guess you think 9//1 wasn't an inside job and that Iraq had WMDs, but that would be guessing. I don't presume, unlike you seem to be doing.

    You're missing the point, and you're also playing your cards face up - you short-sighted capitalist scumbag. You're part of the system which keeps the boot on the face of man, and I hope you slit your wrists when you see this reply.

    Yes, owning a shop is seriously fucking unethical, although not as much as owning a bank, and nowhere do I say that anybody's flat being torched is a good thing (and also no one *targetted* flats anywhere in the UK - collateral damage is OK when dropping bombs on Muslims and spending our taxes but not when overthrowing our corrupt overlords?).

    Capitalism is designed to do one thing and one thing only - amass the wealth at the expense of others.

    If you haven't figured that out yet, then you are selfish and greedy, just as I assert, and you should not be in this thread. How dare you.
