  1. Re:MS Astroturfing on What is Microsoft's Origami Project? · · Score: 1

    "Well, we can always try to whip ourselves into a frenzy so that we expect something fantastic, and then are horribly disappointed in what comes out."

    Kind of like with apple products?

    Ohhhh wait, in apples case when it is released it is viewed as being bigger than the second coming of jesus

  2. Re:Halo, now even more boring than ever on Halo 3 and the Second Wave of 360 Games · · Score: 1

    there are a number of FPS I truely enjoy, just could never handle halo... I think the major reason it is so popular is that it an XBOX game first.

  3. Halo, now even more boring than ever on Halo 3 and the Second Wave of 360 Games · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I honestly dont understand how people can play that game for hours on end, it is ridicoulsly boring Not trolling, but I honestly think that it is so popular only because it seems to be the "best" on the original xbox

  4. Offshoring not outsourcing on U.S. IT Hiring Increases Despite Outsourcing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Outsourcing is a good thing (give the work to some other company dedicated to the task) The article is actually refering to Offshoring. taking the work out of the country. If it werent for outsourcing, MANY IT people would be unemployed (think contractors and consultants) Outsourcing is good, it funds new businesses, offshoring is bad

  5. Re:You know, the funny thing is... on How Does Your Personal Data Center Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    You do realize the 9 to 5 geek is many times preferred to a 24x7 nerd. Simple, communication skills. Nerds dont have them, the person that likes to do non geek stuff will.

  6. Re:No-one expects the British Inquisition ! on UK Government Confiscates Firefox CDs · · Score: 1

    Easily. They simply tax what the item costs in monetary terms...(they do that all the time actually)

  7. Re:Only difference is that if your vaunted terrori on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 1

    Not even close.

    The twin towers were thought to be capable of being hit by a smaller passenger jet at a MUCH slower speed.

    Instead they were hit by a larger (more fuel) and much much much faster than anyone ever would have thought.

    They were expecting the possibility of a jet being lost. not flying at 600mph

    and just remember: More people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than by American Nuclear Energy (and at the rate he is going vs the new safe reactors, more people will continue to die by way of him)

  8. Re:Nuclear waste is scary but... on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 1

    Nuclear waste is perfectly manageable... Chernobyl was bad design and total incompetance by the Russians. I have no worries over either

  9. Re:Disk encryption? on Simplified Disk Encryption Coming to GNOME · · Score: 1

    not everything comes back to terrorism... it has become humorous, the people making fun of the terrorism angle have long ago outspoke the people that were making the claim.

  10. Re:I thought we settled this with hyperlinking? on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, neither do we...

  11. Re:Are we wasting our efforts? on Fedora's OpenGL Composite Desktop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Um, how about you stop telling other people what "we" (who is this we you speak of anyways) should be doing. Why dont you go get started on that and stop setting priorities for OTHER people

  12. Re:I thought we settled this with hyperlinking? on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 1

    OMG First off the whole 9/11 stuff you posted, well that just makes you a moron. Secondly, do you really believe, well anything you just said? I mean, I have seen crackpots before, but you qualify as lucid.

  13. Re:Nice job Swiss....NOT! on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 1

    The swiss are not neutral, they simply try to avoid being involved... They were ready for the Germans during WWII. The germans realized it wasnt worth the hassle and went around them.

  14. Re:That's not enough on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 1, Funny

    You know I have hear some really crackpot stuff, but that is just flat out lucid... I think we need a war on whatever narcotics you are taking by the pound. Do you really believe this idiocy you spew? If you do believe it, you must be the most joyless person ever to be encountered.

  15. Re:Why not a community based p2p client/network ? on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who is this "we" you are talking about...

    in all honesty it would be OTHER people developing, you simply using it, and pretending you are part of something.

  16. Re:OK... it's not in the US. I didn't RTFA. I suck on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 1

    You were just too anxious to use the cliche of terrorism and bash Bush... By the way, how many times a day do you feel it is necessary to do that.

  17. Re:Hoosier politics 101 on Teenager Wins Email Suit Against City of Kokomo · · Score: 1

    Well in Wisconsin charitable organizations dont have to oblige to the DNC list either.... However charities have long ago realized "we better not call these people unless we have a reason (they were a previous contributor etc) or they will be more than pissed at us" Basically they could call, they choose not to because it makes them look really bad.

    she emailed her response..... shes stupid, a bitch, and a coward all rolled into one.

  19. Re:Hey, its better than Linux on Microsoft Vista Info Leaked · · Score: 1

    THat just shows you have no clue about Operating systems... basically no one is concerned with 7995 of those distros. they are niche for specific purposes.

  20. Re:It depends on Infamous Emails Don't Always Kill Careers · · Score: 1

    Thats why you make it outside the office, we get complaints for not inviting people out for drinks every once in a while We dont invite those people because they go and tell everything to the boss. (and he doesnt care!)

  21. Re:Support to open formats on The Future of MP3 and Surround · · Score: 1

    It isnt very useful for playback...

    The fact you need to specially format the file just so you can seek forward. The files have a slow feeling.

    And honestly that wont get much better when you add a bunch of extra channels to it.

    I have many flac files. they are a great way to STORE your music but pretty bad for actual playback.

    I take those files and convert to mp3 so i can actually use them

  22. Re:Will I be able to configure the screensaver? on A Look at GNOME 2.14 · · Score: 1

    um you are gonna look for an alternative to a desktop because you cant configure a screensaver? um hello? how many hours a day do you look at the screensaver that this trivial config would matter? spacial nautilus applied to usability. screensavers are a matter of stareability.

  23. Re:GNOME rocks (no offence to KDE) on A Look at GNOME 2.14 · · Score: 1

    May I suggest upgrading from that 135 meg hard drive of yesteryear... That way, you never ever have to worry about hard drive space, it wont bother you that you might be wasting .000001% of your capacity.

    No actually that is just you

  25. Why? on Unipage - A PDF Alternative? · · Score: 1

    Um it has never bothered me when i save a webpage completely that there is a directory for it? Exactly what purpose does this tool serve becuase I simply cannot figure out why anyone would seek it out
