  1. Re:Sure, blame the income on Laboring Longer a Growing Trend For Americans · · Score: 1

    The whole point to "Retirement" is to enjoy what life you have left after 40+ years of hard work. Why quit your job only to live barely within your means, when you should be able to live like you currently do?

  2. Pretty sure this has already been done. on LOTRO Dev Talks About Bringing MMOs To Consoles · · Score: 1

    Final Fantasy Online (11) already has this. PC gamers and console gamers already play side by side.

    And let me guess, a fellow member of the 250 forums? Nice to see you to.

  4. Re:Hmm, my thoughts... on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 1

    Really sad to know that the network you help designed is doing well? I disagree. I'm not out to attack anyone, it's just the fact that I like knowing what's going on.

  5. Re:Clinching the Hillary voters? on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    How about picking someone who actually has some benefit other than "Well I'll grab these voters no problem" How about putting the country first? (As Obama said)

  6. Clinching the Hillary voters? on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    I'm sure many others think this, but I think his strategy is to gather the Hillary voters....It's a bad strategy if you ask me because he simply brought her on just to win the election...which is just stupid.

  7. Hmm, my thoughts... on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I work as an IT Admin, if I was let go or hell even fired, I would like to keep tabs on my network. I might make an account in the background with admin rights so I can see how the new guy did...See if the exchange store is still mounted, check the SAN and so on...

    Sorry I might be straying slightly off topic. It's just...being replaced you feel like part of your territory was taken over, and you want to check in on your baby (network) and see how it's doing.

    The same way any other American can....Vote.

  9. Re:Translation request - thanks on Lenovo Requires NDA For Windows License Refund · · Score: 4, Funny

    Man wants his money back for a license he did not want from a PC purchase.

    Microsoft says: "Sure but you keep your fscking mouth shut when we do this"

    Guy said "Eat a box of shnausages"

    Guy publishes an article about his experience, gets the money anyway but not from Microsoft. /I think?

  10. Re:This makes me want to send a rude email. on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    They all get modded down.

    For most visitors, the comments you read in articles are the more mature ones. I see Slashdot as more mature than Fark/Digg/Engadget etc....

    I've also been a fark reader for years.

  11. Re:This makes me want to send a rude email. on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is supposed to be a mature community with articles that pertain to important items.

    Visitors to the website will see this because they don't have a "Setting" to adjust.

    I believe that this doesn't portray what Slashdot is about, and I think it needs to be moved off the front page.

    Now chill....

  12. Keep voices from getting out? on China Blocks More Internet Services · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Did you ever think that the reason they do this is so when shat starts hitting the fan in China, no one will be able to cry out because they will have no communication with the outside world?

    I dunno...Just a thought.

  13. Uh? on Gaining RAM For Free, Through Software · · Score: 1

    Isn't this known as pagefile.sys?

  14. How come developers never do this? on Google Drops Bluetooth API From Android 1.0 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why not put up a poll?

    1. Delay launch but have x feature
    2. Proceed with launch date and remove x feature.

    That way you can get a feel of what the majority of buyers want, and their decision can be based on what the consumer wants.

  15. Wait wait wait.... on IE8 Will Contain an Accidental Ad Blocker · · Score: 2

    So Microsoft is actually listening to it's customers right?

    But I still think we will have plenty of MS bashing here...

    I for one and glad that they are "attempting" to provide what people want.

  16. My work on Ratio of IT Department Workers To Overall Employees? · · Score: 1

    I wish I would have jumped into this thread sooner.

    My company has about 60 employee's local, and about 30 remote.

    We have about 25 Windows 2003 Servers, and 4 Linux Servers.

    I am the network administrator, and I have my Director of IT, and Software Developer.....That's it.

    I'd say we are under staffed in the IT area.

  17. Re:Don't Ask What Your Country Can Do For You on As of October, FBI To Allow Warrantless Investigations · · Score: 1

    What do you propose I do about it then?

    One man vs a nation doesn't get very far.

    Hell even the Ron Paulinites that marched to Washington that day...Thousand didn't even make a budge in the government.

    Did I go? Hell no cause they scare the f*ck out of me.

    Well how you you propose we handle it? Sure we can all become apart of the political community, but let's think realistically here....

  19. Re:And what are us Americans going to do about it? on As of October, FBI To Allow Warrantless Investigations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But seriously, what do you want to happen? Would you like everyone to rise up in an armed revolt?

    If a mass protest couldn't pull it off, then yeah...I wouldn't mind seeing that. Heaven forbid we take back what is ours right?

  20. And what are us Americans going to do about it? on As of October, FBI To Allow Warrantless Investigations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nothing.

    That's right, nothing.

    No one will do a single thing about it as long as they can watch their TV shows.

    People need to stand up and defend their rights, but unless it derails their daily lives, nothing will change. ....I hate being so negative...But you know it's true. :-/

  21. This is why I don't vote. on Diebold Admits Ohio Machines May Lose Votes · · Score: 1

    Because your vote doesn't count, nor does it matter.

    I hate being such a negative nancy, but it's true.

    Find an internet cafe' and see if you can rent it out. Most cafe's will let you for a fee.

    Have everyone pitch in a few bucks and you should be fine.

    Theres a place that lets you do that here in Dallas.
