  1. Re:P2P pirates that ended up in court were not ran on SAP Ordered To Pay $1.3 Billion To Oracle · · Score: 1

    your lack of citations shows that you don't even believe this bull. Better find a new job, the RIAA won't pay much for such a poor level of toadying.

  2. Re:It cost them $4200 plus many killed or captured on Causing Terror On the Cheap · · Score: 1

    In theory, yes, but in reality it all depends on what the individual does go gain/maintain their freedom. People of the "kill anyone who looks different, and therefore scares me" crowd deserve little of anything.

    Except we are the ones doing the enslaving, assuming that their governments don't just roll over so that your corporate bosses can take advantage of them. the rest of your blather is nothing more than the usual cowardice espoused by people who do not deserve any sort of freedom in any case.

  4. Re:Package Penetration on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    It wasn't just a blunt impact, since whatever did the damage had to go through the box and into the backplane of the test equipment. It may well have been another shipping company. The sales people that sent it back said it was UPS, but they were never the most trustworthy group.

  5. Re:Package Penetration on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    Way back in the late 80's the company I worked for had a piece of computerized rest equipment shipped back to the company via UPS. apparently a forklift blade sliced right into the shipping box, through a tape drive slot and into the VME backplane. Unfortunately no-one noticed the slit in the box untill we plugged in the machine and it let loose a shower of sparks that would make an episode of Star Trek proud.

    Well, among other things, he would have to be a US citizen. Perhaps you should do a little research befor-e you start spewing your cut and paste from FOX news.

    Well, the teabaggers have to repopulate their ranks somehow after the current batch have died off.

    While he worked at a job for 9 months, it was not the one that he was hired to do, as that job did not really ever exist.

    Sounds like they already have the perfect candidate in mind from India on an H1B. They simply take his resume and adjust the requirements to match it so that no-one else will be able to qualify.

    Oh. look, the government shills are out of their holes. Anyone got some nuts to feed them?

  13. Re:Go for it on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the people who don't care about the facts are the same ones that think that they are somehow special and can handle these distractions. Therefore, due to their unique combination of abilities and self importance, they are not exhibiting poor judgment. Typical Dunning incompetence.

  14. Re:Expensive Price on Anti-Smartphone Phone Launched For Technophobes · · Score: 1

    Very over priced. I had a TracFone that was like this. It only cost me twenty bucks around ten years ago.

  15. Re:What happens when they screw up? on Debt Collectors Using Facebook To Embarrass Those Who Owe · · Score: 1

    I had a similar problem with an old non-contract cellphone. the previous owners of the number were apparently deadbeats who owed a number of people, companies, collection agencies money. I finally gave up that number because most of my limited phone minutes were being eaten up answering calls from these people telling them that this was no longer Mark's phone number.

  16. Re:EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it. on White House Edited Oil Drilling Safety Report · · Score: 1, Troll

    Exactly which simpletons rated this blather insightful? Just because you personally do not consider something to be good (i.e. the stimulus) does not mean that knowledgeable people agree with you. Then again your signature shows you to be not only economically ignorant, but totally self centered. Fortunately, the grownups were able to prevent your ignorance from making things even worse.

    Judging by your xenophobic rant, I'd say they are pretty effective on the fear side of things for some people at least.

    Well, they could have referred to Rico's tacos, the truck down the street from me, but then nobody would get the reference. Most people, on the other hand, know about taco bell, even if the Hispanics in the area refer to it as American food.
