Why would anyone hesitate to give the Bush administration more cash…? The proposal “does not include the necessary safeguards,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She called for “independent oversight, protections for homeowners and constraints on excessive executive compensation.” Paulson urges quick action on $700 billion bailout. This might be a “Good Thing” and since [...]
Just Stupid
Vista is consumer crap
So I booted my PC today when I got home today. I had intended to check e-mail before running out. The damn thing won’t boot. I’m typing this on the kitchen laptop. It says the registry file is corrupted and I should boot off of my Vista DVD and select the repair option. Except my [...]
I hope Amazon wins this one
Amazon is suing New York state over the “Amazon Tax” law. I hope they win for a couple of reasons. This law is just aimed at fixing something the state does not like: people buy items from out of state and don’t pay the use tax. If anyone actually pays this tax I would be [...]
Crazy people on the Supreme Court
Normally, a nut as a judge is just odd. If he makes enough bad calls he gets pulled off the bench. Some really odd people have been on the bench for years. The “debate” about water boarding is ridiculous. It’s torture, no arguement about it. The U.S. government tried and convicted other people for doing [...]
More legal Darwin award recipients?
Looking on Amazon and searching for Steve Jobs and parody comes up with just one hit surprisingly. I don’t usually read parodies since I prefer science fiction but Apple’s lawyers sure tempt me. Anyone who can’t figure out that FSJ blog is, well, fake probably subscribes to those supermarket tabloids. The one’s that say JFK, [...]
Is there a Darwin Award equivalent for lawsuits…?
After that dim bulb lost the case against the RIAA (gremlins used her computer not her) I was hoping that other opponents against oh say, the MPAA would have better results. So naturally when TorrentSpy received a complaint they basically went back and modified forum postings and talked about it in a public forum. Arstechnica [...]
Worse disguise ever
Either this is a gag or let’s hear it for really stupid people.
Apple really knows how to get good PR
Note from Apple to a 3rd grader: “There is no Santa Claus. The Easter bunny is dead! THE TOOTH FAIRY IS MADE UP!!” Nice going Apple, sending a 9 year old a C&D letter.
The "Why is Firefox blocked" fellow is a nut
Wow. If that nut wants to block Firefox or Adblock Plus users then he should just do so. “His actions demonstrate a direct intent to defraud web site owners”, what a kook. Wonder what thinks about Lynx?
Is moveon.org secretly a republican supporter…?
Idiots. There are ways to make a point reasonably. Instead these marketing geniuses get inflammatory and any message they wanted to convey gets lost in the outcry.
