Comment in News (4 diggs, 1 reply) - on 11/06/2008

Unfortunately, all the alternatives save WINE require that one buy a copy of Windows to run Windows programs, and I want none of my money to go to the Evil Empire. (see comment)

Why do Teenagers Post Nude Pictures of Themselves Online?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 10/15/2008

Feh.. Perry Aftab is the sleazoid who tried to browbeat the legitimate owner of the domain katie.com to give up ownership of the domain because a publisher had, without looking, decided to change the title of a book to katie.com. Since then, she's appeare … (see comment)

Gates and Seinfeld Ads NOT Canceled

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/19/2008

Well... there have been several examples of television series that only lasted one episode: _Turn On_ and _You're In the Picture_ leap to mind. If Microsoft had anything vaguely resembling class, they'd do what Jackie Gleason did after the one episode of … (see comment)

I believe that this ad campaign will be remembered as fondly as the Star Wars Holiday Special. (see comment)

The coauthor of the loathsome McCain-Feingold bill believes in freedom of speech?! Don't make me laugh. (see comment)

In a More Diverse America, the GOP Convention Mostly White

Comment in News (3 diggs, 1 reply) - on 09/04/2008

That won't get you anywhere with this crowd. A member of a "protected class" who doesn't swallow the doctrine of victimology is decreed by the left to not really be black/Asian/a woman/etc. Conversely, Bill Clinton can be called "the first African-America … (see comment)

In a More Diverse America, the GOP Convention Mostly White

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/04/2008

For the Democrats, "diversity" is diversity of ancestry, but diversity of thought or opinion, OTOH, must be ruthlessly suppressed. I'd vote for Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell for president in a heartbeat--ditto for Carla Howell or Virginia Postrel. (see comment)

The rise of the all-conquering Liliputer

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/29/2008

Very neat.. and I'm pleased to see the quote of the ad saying that the Maplin Minibook runs the "easy to use Linux operating system." Now that you can get a computer with Linux pre-installed, ease of use is on a more level playing field. I'm going to get … (see comment)

About the dead people, here's what Obama said at a Memorial Day ceremony: "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in...in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly s … (see comment)

What's Wrong with Obama? [Comic]

Comment in Images (-1 diggs, 3 replies) - on 08/22/2008

Better they should have said: He doesn't know how many states there are in the US. He sees dead people. He thinks the term of a president might be five years. He thinks more presidents than just Washington are on the dollar bill. All these are actual Ob … (see comment)

Why would anyone choose Windows over Linux?

Comment in News (0 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/18/2008

So, if something major goes wrong on a Windows machine, Joe Average can fix it with no trouble? I think not; he'd be just as much at sea as he would with a computer running Linux. The big difference is that, at the moment at least, it may be easier to fin … (see comment)
