    umm ... I'm sorry, like all us WHAT people? How dare you talk about your sexual orientation like that, you evil beast! I don't want to hear about your disgusting straight sex here!

  2. Re:But! on Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US · · Score: 1

    being president doesn't make it legal for him to shoot someone. they'd arrest him right then. that is, the parts of him that weren't torn to shreds by the angry mob.

  3. Re:Sounds like... on Octopuses Have No Personalities and Enjoy HDTV · · Score: 1

    Ahem ... clearly your findings mean nothing because you had no grant. Once, in the 5th grade, I did an experiment proving that green light made gerbils smarter. Why? Because I was in 5th grade and I didn't know that I was being stupid. Sounds like her experiment is a more advanced version of the same bad science I used.

    You're wrong. Market share has everything to do with how easy it is to break into a computer. They are, in fact, directly proportional. the easier it is to break in, the bigger your market share. Just ask Debian.

  5. Just because you CAN on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    People, often ignoring reality, say "Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD." Well, that's cute, but the bottom line is that if you CAN, someone WILL. Once we CAN clone a Neanderthal, it's a done deal. it's just a matter of where and when. So why not?

    it really does. A broken clock is right twice a day, but fox news is most like a semi-broken clock. Occasionally they state facts, but so does Spider Man. Doesn't make it reality.

  8. Re:Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact, I do. I expect the wire taps to stop now easily. two reasons. 1) the Democrats were against them from the beginning and I see no reason for him to continue it. 2) it was always illegal and if he does it the republicans will raise hell and stop it. I expect that he'll have most of our troops out of iraq in 16-18 months as he said. I don't expect they will be 100% out of Iraq in his presidency if ever, but I expect that it will be the same size of a deployment that we have any place else we've ever fought a war. I'm okay with those numbers. And I certainly expect him to turn the economy around. Clinton did, why can't he? Same situation, same plan, same party.

    Did I just get called Flamebait for noticing that New York is a Democratic state? I guess I hadn't heard about the stating the obvious rule.

    Of course you CAN, but that doesn't mean that I want a president who a) doesn't read Marx and b) can't pick and choose elements from Marxist political theory as valid. just like, before someone writes a new programming language, I want them to understand existing languages.

    Boy, i sure am glad that New York is being carefully watched. Because I'm not sure which way New York will go. that Democratic vote might be iffy there. As I've said elsewhere, the Democrats would win New York if they ran a candidate named Baby-Killer von Hitler-Darth-Vader. Can we please get some people keeping an eye on, say, Ohio and Florida?

  13. Re:Obama on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Agreed. I love how Republicans call him a socialist as if that's a bad thing. they say he reads MArx like that's a negative trait. Have these people got any idea what they're saying?

  14. Economy: a no brainer on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The economy is a no brainer for me, and I'm not going to duplicate long posts I've already made elsewhere, but it works like this: Bush broke the economy, plain and simple. There were probably other factors, but everything he did only made it worse. McCain voted with him 90% of the time, especially on the economy. People are under some delusion that under a republican president they'll pay less taxes. Not true. Unless you're rich (and if you're not sure, you're not) you'll pay less taxes under a democratic president. But also, paying less taxes doesn't make you richer. if you pay less in taxes, but more in property taxes, mortgages, and gas prices, then where is the savings? And if gas prices rise, then so does transport and your dollar is worth less. And that makes you poor as well. Hell, i'd vote for obama even if he were raising my taxes. I might shell out a hundred extra bucks in taxes, but if I make it up in savings spread out over the year, then good for me.

  15. Re:is obama a marxist? on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    I love how they say that as if it's the 80's. IS anyone scared of marxists? Also, what's so wrong with lifting some of the better ideas from the marxist playbook. Marx didn't single handedly turn communism into a bad form of government. Marx was a fine guy.

  16. Re:Alan Greenspan on Greenspan Tells Congress Bad Data Hurt Wall Street · · Score: 1

    that's at least the problem with Greenspan. this is the same guy who was shocked to learn that companies acted against their long term interests, apparently forgetting that they are full of short term employees. Has he never met a real person?

  18. Re:If doctors were that bad, it would be manslaugh on Testing IT Professionals On Job Interviews? · · Score: 0

    IT, as a field, change more rapidly than any other field. Knowing ten year old tech is not a job skill, it's a war story. It's not only reasonable, but I'd say that certifications are more useful than a degree. And current certs are better than old certs. i've come across tons of "Administrators" who have no idea what they're talking about.

  21. colors and lighting on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    light grey on a black background is supposedly one of the best combos. I've never had a problem with it. And most headaches are actually lighting issues. If you have fluorescent lighting over you (and you probably do) that might be a bigger problem than the monitor. Also, try eyedrops. You forget to blink while staring at a monitor.
