  1. Re:We all know that if... on Supermarket Bans Jedi Knight · · Score: 1, Interesting

    all "religions" are based on fiction books. Scientology is based on Scientology books, by an author who also wrote science fiction books. Jesus was a carpenter, but Christianity is not based on carpentry. Or is it?

  2. It sort of rhymes with "uneducated" on Schooling, Homeschooling, and Now, "Unschooling" · · Score: 1

    or "underachievement"

  3. This is preposterous on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 1

    What right does the government have to prevent people from slandering other people anonymously?

  4. Wheel of bore? on New Wheel of Time Book — Chapter One Online, Released Oct 27 · · Score: 1

    I suffered through several of these as audio books over a series of long road trips. I hope the new author didn't try to mimic Jordan's style.

  5. Yes, but how many XP developers on China Jails Four For Microsoft XP Piracy · · Score: 1

    were jailed for travesty?

  6. I wonder how this compares to movies? on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 1

    BTW, I'm getting ready to release a new FPS, called Grandpa's Revenge. Basically you're old, blind and in a wheel chair and you've lost your teeth. You must guide Grandpa around a old folks home and try to find his teeth. Various obstacles get in your way, such as getting raped by orderlies, forgetting what you were doing and dying.

  7. I may have some form of this on English DJ Claims Wi-Fi Allergy · · Score: 1

    Ever since getting in home wifi, I find it much harder to get off the couch.

  8. so wait on Reprogrammed Skin Cells Turned Into Baby Mice · · Score: 4, Funny

    Scientists now how the power to turn people in to baby chickens? Delicious!

  9. VB on The Best First Language For a Young Programmer · · Score: 1

    Is the best first language.

  10. I'm wondering what concept was really responded to on The Mathletes and the Miley Photoshop · · Score: 1

    Literal "was the law broken" subjective interpretation: "did the man do something wrong" I'm wondering if "smarter" people were more likely to answer the question, than to respond to the negative feelings the whole thing gives rise to.

  11. That's a tough situation on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    Your schedule basically means you cannot work out on days you work. You can do yourself a lot of good by working out vigorously for 1 to 2 hours on the days you do have off. Finding an extremely demanding sport like singles tennis, mountain biking or skateboarding, that really puts a strain on you cardiovascularly will help boost your metabolism through out the week. Weight lifting is your other friend, doing real strenuous intense weight lifting on the weekends will help you also. You'll be burning calories as your muscles rebuild. Finally, the only other thing you can address is your eating habits. Any sugary or starchy food is going to hit you hardest, next is other high calorie foods like fats and meats. You can fill up on raw and cooked whole vegetables and raw fruits. Cut out all prepackages foods and snacks. If all that fails metha-amphetamines is your only recourse. You could just be happy being fat, too.

  12. Re:Are you crazy? on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    That doesn't automatically make it Microsoft's fault. If your Mom gets raped, is it your Mom's fault? All operating systems and software have some kind potential weaknesses. Microsoft happens to be the big target. But, I'm sure you already know this. It's Microsoft's fault for having software that is so great it out numbers all other software 10 to 1 in popularity?

  13. Are you crazy? on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    It's the freeware that most commonly spreads viruses and Trojans. The article does not attribute the cause of these problems to Microsoft at all. Did confiker get distributed by installing Microsoft products? No.

  14. This story caused my hard drive to lockup on The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer · · Score: 1

    I haven't been able to use it since. Please remove it.

  15. really? REALLY? on Finding a Personal Coding Trifecta · · Score: 1

    For coding (not sensory input nirvana), it would be: Hardware: a notebook with an IBM keyboard, a quad core i7 processor, at least RAID 0 SSD drives, a gizillion terabytes of RAM (etc ridiculous performance). Maybe 3 24" monitors Environment: Hmm, maybe setup in a jacuzzi Project: Something cool to work on, inspirational, and pays well and appreciated, with technical freedom.

  16. This is the final straw on California Family Fights For Privacy, Relief From Cyber-Harassment · · Score: 1

    I will no longer defend the human race at the Consortium of Galactic Civilizations.

  17. It's great for non-technical people on VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better · · Score: 1

    I always refer non-techies to VLC. Like I see many posting here, I prefer MPC and installing my own codecs. I don't know if they changed the interface, but MPC is just faster and works better, which is why I like it.

  18. I further translate the Google translation on Tricked Into Buying OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 1

    "Don't be stupid. Other people will try to rip you off. Don't be stupid." I'm not sure about that last bit, it could also be translated as "Don't be a dumbass", depending on inflection. Damn, I'm in a mood today.

  19. Don't you have to graduate from high school before on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    going on to college?

  20. fucking lascivious on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    Is that a cool word or what?

  21. My company does this on How Does a 9/80 Work Schedule Work Out? · · Score: 1

    There are 4 different schedules. 2 Fridays, and 2 Mondays. Nobody in my group does the Monday off schedule. Then the Friday off schedule is split about 50/50 so on Fridays, half the staff is there. Everyone seems to adapt well to it and they get a 3 day weekend every other week. It also works very nicely to extend holiday periods because people will shift that day off. Like if that Friday is actually a holiday, they get the Thursday as the 9/80 day. I think after a little while 9 hours seems like 8, as you see many people already work 10 regularly. I personally decline the 9/80s, though. Probably need to try it out.

  22. That's ridiculous on 6-Year-Old Says Grand Theft Auto Taught Him To Drive · · Score: 1

    If he had learned how to drive in GTF, he would have ran into a prostitute.

  23. What the hell, I was just about to post this. on Are My Ideas Being Stolen? If So, What Then? · · Score: 1

    Thief!

  24. The space program should be shut down on Obama Moves To Link Pentagon With NASA · · Score: 1, Funny

    This is like putting a plasma TV on your credit card while you're undergoing foreclosure.

  25. The corollary of this is that if you smile on Indiana Bans Driver's License Smiles, For Security · · Score: 1

    all the time otherwise, you can never be facially recognized based on the evil government's drivers license record of you. What I can't understand is the need for the law. Who the hell can smile after hanging out at the DMV for any amount of time?
