  1. Re:There's a market for this ? on Rewritable Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    I had to backup to the original post, I still have no clue where you got that idea from.

  2. Re:There's a market for this ? on Rewritable Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    That's a good point.

    Wait, you regularly draw pictures of your kid from photos for fun at work & parties ?
    Do you put little mustaches & devil horns on them ?

    I think it's Netchix you're thinking of.

    You've obviously never seen Debbie Does Dallas 911.

    That said, the only time I ever dreamt I was married, it was to Gillian.

    Did it go somthing like you were a fanatic believer that you & her were made for eachother, but she was a carefull skeptic & you ended up chasing her around for the whole dream ?

    I just want to make sure without a doubt, that I'm not alone.

    Either way, at least now I can quit sitting on mine untill it gets numb.

  7. There's a market for this ? on Rewritable Song Lyrics · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't imagine anyone paying someone a few hundred dollars to do somthing most people do for fun at work or at parties.

  8. Excuses on Fructose As Culprit In the Obesity Epidemic · · Score: 1

    Great, another thing for fat people to blame their fatness on.

    People are fat because they've neglected to balance their exercise with their diet, period.


    I didn't have a lick of fat on me untill about 2 years ago, when I ventured into computers & away from construction jobs a year earlier. My diet hasn't changed at all.

  9. Re:In Soviet Russia on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 1

    It makes good Science Fiction, but realisticly I think the chances of that happening are about the same as the chances that 99% of the earths population will be wiped out instantaneously.

    Hence the reasons I don't fly, yet. :)

  11. Yeehaw ! on $99 HD-DVD Player Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    I can hear the swarm of rednecks talking about how much better their Dale Earnhart DVD looks on the 5 year old bigscreen sitting in their garage they're still paying Rent-A-Center for with their new $99 HDDVD player now.
    I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

    But if you haven't LOST the skill (by relying wholly on automation to do it for you), you can still do it by hand if you must.

    Wouldn't it be better just to hire someone to fix the machine ?

    You don't try to change motor oil on the highway when a fire engine hits 3,000 miles do you ?

    For once, I think SR has the right idea.

    Quick, off the top of your head, what's sugardeath.net's IP address?

    Well put.
  15. Re:Silly article on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Men came off worse than women. Only 55 per cent of men could remember their wedding anniversary, compared to 90 per cent of women."

    It's alot easier to remember a date when you're the one getting gifts every year.
  16. Re:Insignificant details on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 1

    That's because they have nothing better to memorize, seriously.

  17. Re:Duh on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 1

    It's less than a dollar to call 411 for cryin out loud, I don't know anyone who loses their gadgets often enough that paying a dollar to get their phone number would be a big problem.
    And if they do lose their gadgets that often, they've likely got bigger problems to worry about, like a drug addiction or somthing.

  18. Re:So? on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 1

    Do you all forget the episode of Married With Children, when Kelly went on a sports trivia show? The only thing she knew before she prepared for it was that her dad scored four touchdowns in a single game. She crammed all sorts of knowledge into her head, and was totally kicking butt in the competition, until the final question. "What local hero scored four touchdowns in a single game?" She had forgotten.

    I don't remember that episode, but I remember Kelly was a blonde.

    Do you want your airplane pilot looking up what the trim settings, or throttle settings are on the plane when he is landing?

    No, I want the plane to be built well enough that they'd never have to know any of that.
    I don't fly, but if I had no other choice I would rather trust in an airplane programmed with decades of information over a single persons memory any day.
  20. What's the point then ? on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 1

    I don't understand the concept of needing to remember somthing that gadgets have been designed to remember for me.

    We don't expect farmers to plant crops with their bare hands.

    A: Because they would need to learn to spell.

    If it wasn't for people like me who can't spell every single word in the english dictionary, developers wouldn't have jobs.
  22. Re:Fork? on Linux Creator Calls GPLv3 Authors 'Hypocrites' · · Score: 1

    Linus has the problem in that he got involved with Free Software without actually "drinking the kool-aid" and now he doesn't like everyone expecting him to go along with the faith.

    Oh, well in that case all he needs to do is wait it out.

    Q: Why don't devolopers write their own software liscenses ?
