  1. Fudged the bucket on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The guy seriously fudged the bucket with me. I actually had some amount of faith in this dude.

    This was the big test to see if he would collapse under the pressure of the telecoms. More money was offered so he decided to go with it.

    I am very upset over this but I should not be surprised. He is just another politician. (But lesser of the two evils)

  2. Yup your vote really counts.... on eBay'er Arrested For Attempting To Sell His Vote · · Score: 1

    Sadly there are far more Data pirates than "Board ye ship" pirates.

    Whatever helps you sleep at night kid.

    I'd suggest you get yourself a copy of Ubuntu as a first step to dispelling such feelings.

    Sorry I like working in an environment that actually makes me money. I guess that's what the $ means in M$.

  7. Re:Irrelevant what M$ does on MS To Become Open Source Friendly Post Gates · · Score: 1

    I'll remember that next time I'm addressing a Chamber of Commerce or a Business technology forum and I am god and can make stuff up because this is the internet blablablabla

    Sure thing kid. Hey I was president once. True story...

  8. Re:Irrelevant what M$ does on MS To Become Open Source Friendly Post Gates · · Score: 1

    I can't remember the last time I spoke to anyone who actually loves Microsoft,

    Right here. I still love Microsoft. I think they build fantastic products. (Sharepoint, CRM, MOM)

    But alas we have another kid who thinks they know how the business world works, and they spew out some nonsense about M$!!! (Don't forget the cliche $ for the S)

    Doing I.T means doing business, business ain't dumb, Vista didn't cut it

    There is nothing wrong with Vista. The only problem was that there was driver support problems, and that's not Microsoft's fault if HP doesn't make a Vista driver for a printer. Vista is fine, people just love to jump on the Anti-MS bandwaggon.

    Your post was an obvious troll, so I made sure to mod it as such.

  9. Astrocom on Working With 2 ISPs For Home Networking? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    http://www.astrocorp.com/

    The Astrocom box. I have one here at work for our 2 ISP's. It's like a FatPipe but much cheaper. Our was around 4 grand but I'm sure they have one for home users.

  10. Re:I guarantee you that on Senate Delays Telecom Immunity Vote Until After July Recess · · Score: 1

    No, if anything they want to rush it out before November.

    Think about it, if Bush leaves office that gives you a 50/50 chance of someone not supporting it. If McCain is elected, he will sign it in, if Obama is elected, I don't think he would.

    While Bush is in office, I would think they would want to get it out as quick as they can.

  11. Price per GB! on The Tiger Effect and Internet DDoS · · Score: 1

    I bet the ISP are just twiddling there thumbs right now at the idea of charging by the GB for internet.

    Scary but true.

  12. I'll pick it up on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    When Adblock releases a version that works for it.

  13. Working out of China or working for China? on Chinese Government Accused of Hacking Congress · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does working out of China mean they work FOR the Chinese government? Or is it just speculation?

  14. Solar Power on NASA Plans Probe to the Sun · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess providing power to the device via solar power would be a good option.

    After all...It will be right next to the source.

  15. Okay? on NASA Plans Probe to the Sun · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And how exactly do you plan to do that? Do we have any material that won't melt under the intense heat?

  16. Re:Some reasons given: on Explaining the Dearth of Console MMOGs · · Score: 1

    I dunno about you but most people have TV's in there bedroom.

    In some cases houses only have one TV, but they also only have one computer.

    Think about it.

  17. Re:Guess they don't play WoW... on Leaked ACTA Treaty to Outlaw P2P? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure if it came down to it, Blizzard would just change the way you update. Lost most other MMO's they would just implement an update server that pushes out the patches. They have more than enough money to put something like that in place, dispite the large number of players.

  18. Re:Wow... on Behind China's Great Firewall · · Score: 1

    Yes, god forbit people stand up for themselves and ask question.

    I'm glad China is there to ensure nothing like that happens. /For the greater good.

    That's just it. It looks cool. That's all that most people care about these days.

  20. Riiiight on Ballmer Says Vista Selling Really Well · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes because guy's like me who purchases new computers for our company who are forced to buy Vista, don't just reinstall XP once we get it.

    Sure you sold a copy of Vista, that doesn't mean were using it.

  21. Symantec Anti-Spam on Cisco CSO Says Antivirus Money "Completely Wasted" · · Score: 1

    Our Symantec Anti-Spam for Exchange blocks over 5000 emails a day. I'd say that's money well spent.

  22. Couple idea's on How Would You Prefer To Send Sensitive Data? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why not some kind of secure FTP Server for her to download it?

    Or if the area is not to far, why not burn it to a CD or some other kind of media and physically take it to her.

  23. Re:Hypocracy much? on YouTube Refuses To Remove Terrorist Videos · · Score: 1

    Yes because those videos posted don't violate any copy right laws. Nice troll though.

  24. Hideo Kojima on Metal Gear Solid 4 Not the End · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But even Hideo Kojima said this was HIS last one. Would the future one live up to our expectations without Kojima?

  25. Re:Outlook/Exchange? on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    A big problem is that users let their PST get to big. Without a proper Exchange admin thing's can get buggy, it's not the software.
