  1. Re:IP and tradmarks... again on Gaim Renamed — Now Pidgin IM · · Score: 2, Informative

    Pidgin is not a specific dialect such as the one you cite. The wiki that you link even says that it is a somewhat generic term.

    You spelled "pigeon" wrong.

  2. Re:not supporting the RIAA on RIAA Can't Have Defendant's Son's Desktop · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's like going "you can only have 2 of the 3 knives I may of used for that murder".
    Can you rephrase that in english, or at least make it possible to parse in some language?

    So easy to misread. So very easy.
  4. Re:itsatrap on RIAA Receives Stern Letter, Folds · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, you've got it all wrong. See, it's a compound word. "Con" being the opposite of "pro", and "gress" meaning improvement, "congress" is therefore against improvement. Or, possible, it is a gress made up of "cons", short for "convicts"...there are probably quite a few of those...

  5. Re:Simple on Open Office - What's the Downside? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Isn't that what the OpenOffice quickstarter is for?

  6. Re:No, your problem was on Violated Copyright Law — Now What? · · Score: 1

    What are you suggesting, that the problem be avoided in the first place? That somebody who is concerned about possibly violating copyrights ought to try to avoid violating copyrights?

    Well, now that you mention it, it does seem like a good idea. I bet it would be easy to filter all images through a program that will automatically watermark them such that the customer sees what they would look like but doesn't accept them the way they are.

    And what the hell does "my" team loose? Their bowels?
    He was obviously trying to make it rhyme.

    Besides, every day is spousal abuse day with World of Warcraft!

    more time is dedicated to baseball
    No, it just seems like "more time", as you sit there waiting for stuff to happen, and eventually you detect some movement as two or three players actually do something other than just stand there. After a couple seconds of that, it's back to waiting. Eventually they all give up and go home, with a score of 4-3 or 2-1. Yes, watching 8 hours of a game to see 3 scores is very exciting...

    No, time for Google Seppuku.

    Damn...and I just bought a USB-SATA bridge to replace my obsolete USB-IDE bridge.

    Curse you, Sabrent!

  11. Re:Posted notice? on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 1

    archive.org didn't distribute their copy of the site? I wonder why not, and I wonder how she knew they copied it? Their whole purpose is to distribute copies of web sites.

    treadmill is a place where corn is ground up to make tires.
    This is so funny that it almost made me choke on my peanut butter sandwich.

    Yes, that's right, I said peanut butter sandwich.

    Why spend an hour or two attempting to get WoW set up under linux when
    Yeah, I mean, who ever spends a whole hour or two on WoW? It's not like an hour or two setting it up would merely be a drop in the bucket compared to the RL-ignoring relationship-destroying thousands of hours you'll spend in WoW...

    Your parents get weekly virus infections? Are they doing warez trading from back in 1999?

  15. Re:Scary on Fuel Tanks Made of Corncob Waste · · Score: 1

    This is news to me. My TT's propane furnace is directly underneath the fridge. Is ammonia gas lighter or heavier than air? Or does the ammonia leak in liquid form (and then how does it mix with the LP)?

    Let's look at the numbers of teen pregnancies right now, shall we?
    Wow, I didn't know that sperm can be emailed...

    These kids got caught breaking the law. They knew it was against the law.
    What makes you think they knew that it was against the law? I would never assume that any picture of myself (not engaged in an illegal act -- I'm sure that it's not illegal to be naked, or to masturbate, or whatever they were doing in the pictures) in a private communication is illegal.

    You don't even have the option of paying more to get ad-free TV!
    Actually, you do. Pay per view, and probably some premium channels...and DVD.

    Personally, I'm not into TV much. I do like my ad-free satellite radio, though...
  25. Re:Incredible on Purdue Makes Trash To Electricity Generator · · Score: 1

    But you'd probably do better by recycling the waste to create other materials, and using sources such as solar and wind for electricity generation.
    Landfills are getting full. Energy is in demand. Recycling costs money and uses _lots_ of energy.

    In Athens, they have nowhere to put garbage and it's filling up the streets.
