Re:Public Paranoia

On: Los Alamos Lab: We're OK, You're OK

You make it seem all these things are good things...
If anything, I think those are just the kind of properties that make France one to watch out for. In some areas they're just too damn arrogant (like some other countries I know, by the way).

One example that springs to mind is the nuclear bomb-test they carried out just a few years ago. Against huge public and international opposition.

Come to think of it.. wasn't that bombing of that Greenpeace ship connected with the test?

This fire was probably the kind of fire they were trying to prevent with this "controlled burn".

Kinda ironic, ain't it?

Re:Well Said (insight into BG?)

On: Microsoft vs. Slashdot Update

To just hook into your comment: those nice people don't have BG's job...

Here on the other side of the atlantic we have a nice little commercial for some internet-job-finding-site and it goes something like this:

Two babies lying next to each other in hospital cribs.

1. First shot: all the attention goes to the left kid.
2. Second shot: teddy bear of right kid is taken away and given to the left kid.
3. And some other things that I can't really remember right now - (sorry, but it's 1:46 in the morning here...) - to drive home the point.
4. Next shot - at night: left baby sound asleep and right baby awake with a darn mad look on his face.
5. Next shot: name of left kid: John Doe (or at least the dutch equivalent), name of right kid: BG
6. Then: something that boils down to Stay angry!

I was personally quite amused by the commercial and it has some truth in it, too, I think.


But just for the record: I don't agree with you, by the way. I think BG thinks he's genuinly doing a great job.

Somebody tell me how to spell genuinly, because I think this ain't the way to...

Or quite a few other western countries around the world (like in Europe...).
This insanity has gone on far too long in the US. But maybe I'm just not tuned in to your kind of thinking, as I am one from the other side of the Atlantic...

Git me one of those!

On: High Capacity RAMDrive-like Devices?

Anyone know where I can get one of these for myself... It'd be great to have my set have to wait on me once in a while..
No, but seriously... You guys seem afraid to name a price. What does this kind a stuff sell for these days?
