  1. Re:Jesus? on Stem Cell Fraudster May Have Actually Made Breakthrough · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is this another Jesus?

    Yes, now you too can have your own personal Jesus. Someone to hear your prayers, someone who cares, someone whos there...

    (Strangely, I now feel like I have a Depeche Mode beating in my immediate future)

    Isn't this place nerdy enough not to fall into calling crackers hackers?

    I just call the guy an "Asshole". Makes everything so much easier.

    Well, you can surrender all of your rights to me, and I'll manage all of them for you.

    You must have read the UK version. From what I read, at the end Harry wakes up after being in a coma for 7 years and realizes that the past 6 books were all a dream.

  8. Re:safety first on New York Plans Surveillance Veil For Downtown · · Score: 1

    I just think it's fucking insane that you let the police have guns over there.

    In America, we have have been left with little choice but to arm our police officers. This happened because some people, also known as "violent criminals", had a tendency to carry their own weapons and kill police officers as well as innocent people.

    untrained armed thugs with a violent fantasies and a power trip I do mind

    I agree with you, however, the vast majority of police officers are highly trained professionals doing everything they can to enforce the laws. Most police officers are decent people. By the way, this is coming from someone who lives in Chicago, where our own police officers have been known to beat the living daylights out of bartenders with their bare hands.

    1.8 million dollars in damages for a 18 dollar CD? Methinks the lawyers calculators have too many places on the left side of the decimal place.

    Actually, this is very reasonable. Solid gold swimming pools filled with imported water from a sacred underground spring cost money after all. Gotta keep the poor defenseless lawyers in mind.

    Actually, it is more of a semi-dupe...

    From the /. article you linked...

    "...The announcement coincides with an embarrassing double-backflip: Microsoft had pre-briefed journalists that it was going to allow home users to run Vista basic and premium under virtual machines like VMWare, but it changed its mind at the last minute and pulled the announcement."


    This article was only briefly mentioned (and linked), but wasn't the main focus ( which was "Microsoft pleading with consumers to use Vista") of the article.

    I really hate begging. Doubly so when it comes from such a big company.

    Now, bribery, I'm ok with... Maybe if they slipped me a couple hundred dollars, I would reconsider their operating system offering.

    As a type 1 diabetic, I've always said that diabetes is a pain in the ass. Now, since this research shows that it shares a common gene with Crohn's disease, I guess that my statement is even more true than ever.

    Put a Terminator on every plane. What could go wrong?

    Did you ever see Terminator 3?

    Besides, having your security device being confused with the Govenator of California isn't exactly the most ideal situation in the world.

    Personally, I think it would be better to put a Dalek on every plane. Cold. Efficient. Deadly accurate with their gun and sucker. Not able to be reprogrammed by the terrorists. Hell, they can even be considered multi-functional, as they can even use their built-in plunger to fix a stoppage in the lav.
