  1. Just call it something else. on Psion Accuses Intel of Cybersquatting · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    CHRIST MAN! Just call it a sub notebook, or some other stupid buzz word. Let the technical journals call it what ever they want. I am extremely sick of hearing about how company X exists only to sue someone over what they could not bring to market due to a lack of marketing or innovation. STOP THE MADNESS!!!

    HAHAHA!!! So...I am thinking you don't like Apple much, eh? :o)

  3. Forced upgrade, not uptake on Safari Beta Takeup Tops Firefox, IE and Chrome · · Score: 0, Troll

    I was running 3.2 and came in to my computer to see that I was being force fed an upgrade to the latest beta. That might have something to do with the numbers.

    No, I was not saying anything about killing unfertilized eggs! No where did I mention that.

    Absolutely NOTHING! I do not disagree with working through such DNA problems, but trying to basically "Tweak" you baby to be the blue eyed, blond haired twins of the Reich is just plain Mengele.

  7. WHat?!? on Designer Babies · · Score: 1

    I always thought it was rather fun, kinda like eating cracker jacks, you always get a little surprise when it pops out! They want to take all the fun out of having kids!

    We will remember this and be watching you! Are you really the grim reaper of C Code in disguise?!?

  9. Re:Desktop eh? on Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    My mom is a BOFH! She has been using/managing computers since I was 6 years old and I am OLD!! She wouldn't allow me to make the decision for her. :o)

  10. Desktop eh? on Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    I think the problem with most Linux distros is the Desktop system...being KDE, Gnome, etc. The OS runs like a scalded dog, but the GUI sucks wind. The only serious crashes I have ever had on Linux was due to the Windowing system, nothing else that I can recall. If they could get their heads together and come up with something that was stable and usable (Gnome and Xfce are better now-a-days) they would probably own. One of the problems my own mother has had was the fact that there were too many choices when it came to the GUI, she could not decide and eventually gave up.

    I see what you did there man...you changed "bad" to "good"... It did take me a minute tho.

    It is a conspiracy man! They don't want us to know the truth about how bad off we are! Ok, back to my reefer smoking...

    What about the poor bastards like me who paid for Xen? I wonder if they are planning a refund program, or just a life lesson "Tough Shit" program!

    We all know why Bruce's code came out clean...he is actually the Messiah!!! Or at least in the circles I run in he is! :o) Queue the Chuck Norris jokes with Bruce in stead of Chuck.

    Nah, I watch movies when I should be working from home. :o) Really tho...the normal content is fast enough with good quality, but the HD is B A D ! !

    I have a solid 6 mbps connection dedicated to my Netflix/Media systems. Just watching a HD movie via the Netflix Roku box, it constantly buffers...how much bandwidth do I _really_ need to get HiDef?!?

  20. Stimulus Storage? on Bill Would Require ISPs, Wi-Fi Users To Keep Logs · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Does that mean we will receive a stipend for storage in order to keep said logs for two years? If the government is going to require me to keep them, then they need to enable me with at least 3 terabytes of storage!

  22. Re:Bollocks on Internet Killed the Satellite Radio Star · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know what crowd you hang out with, but when the iPhone becomes the main connection to the Internet for entertainment, it will need to have a screen the same size as my computer, at least 24". I am so fucking sick of hearing how the i(insert inane object here) is going to replace eveyone's (insert something large here) just because it is really neat! I own a T-Mobile G1, my wife owns an iPhone and I nor my wife use them as out main entertainment connection to anything. We use them for getting email when we are not at a computer and for making calls when we are not at our desk or home phone. That is all.

    I said nothing about wanting some exorbitant salary, nor did I say I was All Important because I am an American. What I said was that they are forcing my hand and if I want to keep a job that I have invested 20 plus years in, then I have to move oversees. Oh, and there was one other thing...Blow me!
