  1. Most creative time is relative on Researchers Discover The Most Creative Time of Day · · Score: 1

    I call BS. The absolutely most creative time is right before whatever your working on is due, making you decide between turning in a sub-par piece or turning in a late masterpiece. The grade is always exactly the same.

  2. Re:GREAT Business, GREAT sense on GameStop Manager Suspended After "Games for Grades" · · Score: 1

    Then study harder. Everyone SHOULD graduate high school.

  3. Re:Straw Man Alert on Making War On Light Pollution · · Score: 1

    Seriously? No one suggested turning Vegas off. it's the millions more billboards out in the middle of nowhere he's referring to.

  4. Re:Stupidest lawsuit ever (stupidest response ever on Apple Sued Over iPhone Non-Replaceable Batteries · · Score: 1

    If you don't like how the iPhone was MADE, DON'T BUY ONE. Quit bitching.

  5. Re:Who cares? on Some Truth to Wii as GameCube 1.5? · · Score: 1

    I completely agree. It's underpowered, it's weird, it has no third party games...and yet it's the hardest to get and (I think) most fun next gen system out there. It's about MORE THAN JUST THE TECH SPECS, idiots.

  6. Re:I have a radical idea on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    Wrong game...but nice try.

  7. Re:Almost expected on Is A Bad Attitude Damaging The IT Profession? · · Score: 1

    That's awesome. Nothing better than a capable, tough female working in a mostly male profession. As long as you keep yourself grounded, you'll go far. Congrats on your accomplishments!

  8. Re:One more on 15 Things Apple Should Change in Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Funny

    OH hell yeah! Apple should DEFINITELY abandon their simplistic one-button scheme to satisfy the tens of people using X11.

  9. Re:Not just true for humans on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 1

    You're a dick. I hope we bomb/invade/take over your country some day.

  10. Re:Use a bit of care... on Why Do Gadgets Break? · · Score: 1

    Salt water? Really? If you're dumb enough to use your laptop not only at the beach but IN THE WATER, you are just asking for trouble.

  11. Re:Use a bit of care... on Why Do Gadgets Break? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to add being set on fire and subject to the apocalypse to that list.

  12. Re:I'm glad he's gone on Justin Long No Longer A Mac · · Score: 1

    But we are better than you, so suck it.

    Hahahahahaha...you have fun with your little nomad then.

    Ever read or seen H.G. Wells' "Time Machine"? It predicts this as well...

  15. Re:Flamebait this is on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    Wait...OS X to Vista is an upgrade? Seriously? I might call it switching, I definitely would not define it as an UPGRADE.

  16. Re:Why? on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 1

    I see your point here, but if I'm paying for something, I should be able to do it in the way that suits me best (provided it doesn't harm anyone else). There are myriad other reasons for staying up late in college than partying (group assignments, sports, working out and hell, just socializing), so why make it any harder than it needs to be? I'm PAID to be at work at 7 am and I understand that.

  17. Re:Ken Lay -- serial killer? on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    I suppose you have a point here, comparing Ken Lay to a serial killer MIGHT be stretching it, but I don't think it's that far off. Lay profited by ripping off thousands of customers and employees while CONTINUALLY lying about it just so he would stay rich. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and he CHOSE to keep screwing people over in order to add to his fortune. He was a major part of one of the most corrupt companies in our history and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will continue to provide headaches for many, many honest businesses who have never done a thing wrong. In short, Lay made his own bed. Bundy, on the other hand, was a sociopath (correct me if I'm wrong) who raped and murdered dozens of women. Now, I AM NOT CONDONING his actions, but his mental state had a lot more to do with his crimes than choice did (again, I AM NOT USING THAT AS AN EXCUSE). One destroyed lives as secretly as possible, the other ended lives as intimately as possible. Both deserve our scorn (but not necessarily our wishes of death). I'm not sorry either are dead, but I do not wish it upon them. Sometimes it's OKAY to speak ill of the dead.
