_goblin | sorry, have I missed something....has there been a rush of demand for people wanting a joystick operated vehicle? or am I missing part of the conversation? | Apr 04 00:00 |
DaemonFC | I liked it | Apr 04 00:00 |
_goblin | yeah. | Apr 04 00:00 |
DaemonFC | what confuses me is the demand for CNG as a fuel for cars | Apr 04 00:01 |
cubezzz | so far my quest for a used sparc machine has been disappointing | Apr 04 00:01 |
DaemonFC | Why would anyone want that? | Apr 04 00:01 |
_goblin | yeah me too......can't understand it myself....... | Apr 04 00:02 |
cubezzz | CNG? | Apr 04 00:02 |
_goblin | agree | Apr 04 00:02 |
_goblin | its simpler | Apr 04 00:02 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Compressed Natural Gas | Apr 04 00:02 |
_goblin | thats the one. | Apr 04 00:02 |
DaemonFC | they're trying to open up ethanol refineries and coal gassification plants in Indiana | Apr 04 00:03 |
DaemonFC | so the state government is subsidizing all this shit | Apr 04 00:03 |
DaemonFC | bribing people to buy CNG powered Hondas and such | Apr 04 00:03 |
DaemonFC | Ethanol compatible vehicles too | Apr 04 00:03 |

_goblin | hi sebsebseb! | Apr 04 00:04 |
DaemonFC | _goblin: It's more efficient to burn gasoline than most of these "alternative fuels" | Apr 04 00:04 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: hi | Apr 04 00:04 |
DaemonFC | and it's better for the environment too! :) | Apr 04 00:04 |
DaemonFC | I think the answer is clear | Apr 04 00:05 |
DaemonFC | nuclear reactors | Apr 04 00:05 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Apr 04 00:05 |
DaemonFC | a nuclear powerplant in every car | Apr 04 00:05 |

DaemonFC | MinceR: That's not true | Apr 04 00:06 |

DaemonFC | they expend more energy from fossil fuels in the process of making them, than the resulting "alternative fuel" provides | Apr 04 00:07 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: They're making the ethanol from corn because it justifies high corn prices | Apr 04 00:08 |
DaemonFC | they're not growing fast growing grass to cut down and ferment | Apr 04 00:08 |
DaemonFC | I would be fine with that | Apr 04 00:08 |
MinceR | they're doing it wrong | Apr 04 00:08 |
DaemonFC | no, they have no interest in sustainability | Apr 04 00:09 |
DaemonFC | it's just a sweetheart government deal | Apr 04 00:09 |
DaemonFC | involving bribes all around | Apr 04 00:09 |
_goblin | daemonfc: I think the answer is with dylithium crystals. | Apr 04 00:09 |
DaemonFC | _goblin: But what if.... | Apr 04 00:09 |
DaemonFC | she just can't take it | Apr 04 00:09 |
DaemonFC | and she breaks apart? | Apr 04 00:10 |
_goblin | damn..... | Apr 04 00:10 |
MinceR | reverse the polarity. | Apr 04 00:10 |
DaemonFC | then what? | Apr 04 00:10 |
_goblin | you got that one. | Apr 04 00:10 |
DaemonFC | :D | Apr 04 00:10 |
_goblin | what about..... | Apr 04 00:10 |
_goblin | the infinate improbability drive | Apr 04 00:11 |
DaemonFC | then the other people in traffic turn into dolphins? | Apr 04 00:11 |
_goblin | now that doesn't use fossil fuels | Apr 04 00:11 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Apr 04 00:11 |
_goblin | or a ball of wool | Apr 04 00:11 |
_goblin | can't think of any more scifi related engines. | Apr 04 00:12 |

_goblin | no google | Apr 04 00:13 |
DaemonFC | Vorlons | Apr 04 00:13 |
_goblin | lol | Apr 04 00:13 |
_goblin | cheater | Apr 04 00:13 |
DaemonFC | nope | Apr 04 00:13 |
_goblin | why did it take you so long | Apr 04 00:14 |
DaemonFC | the artifact was speaking to me | Apr 04 00:14 |
_goblin | ;) | Apr 04 00:14 |
MinceR | how about putting batteries or fuel cells in the cars and charging them with (stationary) power plants using renewable energy sources? | Apr 04 00:14 |
DaemonFC | it told me of a catfight between Ivanova and that other woman | Apr 04 00:14 |

_goblin | Even roy's getting into the spirit of our sci-fi theme | Apr 04 00:15 |
DaemonFC | Then there was the Victory and Excalibur | Apr 04 00:15 |
_goblin | yep.....didn't like the technomages...thought they were silly | Apr 04 00:16 |
DaemonFC | they did a lousy job at explaining the weakness of the super weapon though | Apr 04 00:16 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 00:16 |
_goblin | did they ever finish Excalibur? | Apr 04 00:16 |
_goblin | I think I only ever saw one series. | Apr 04 00:16 |
DaemonFC | yeah, Victory was destroyed in the battle with the Drakh fleet in Earth space | Apr 04 00:16 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 00:16 |
DaemonFC | Sheridan was in command of the Excalibur | Apr 04 00:16 |
_goblin | might have to order the dvd set from the store (providing its still available) | Apr 04 00:17 |
_goblin | I am still tackling my battlestar box set..... | Apr 04 00:17 |
DaemonFC | the Drakh destroyed the shipyard that built the Victory class ships on their retreat from our space | Apr 04 00:17 |
DaemonFC | after poisoning Earth with the nanotech virus | Apr 04 00:17 |
DaemonFC | so Excalibur was one of a kind after this :) | Apr 04 00:17 |
_goblin | with Vorlon tech if memory serves. | Apr 04 00:18 |
DaemonFC | which led to the Crusade spinoff | Apr 04 00:18 |
DaemonFC | which was cancelledbefore airing | Apr 04 00:18 |
_goblin | I prefered the shadows..... | Apr 04 00:18 |
DaemonFC | and TNT showed the 16 produced episodes in the wrong order | Apr 04 00:18 |
DaemonFC | motherfuckers | Apr 04 00:18 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Apr 04 00:18 |
DaemonFC | _goblin: The Technomages were created by the Shadows | Apr 04 00:19 |
_goblin | it was always convenient how human doorways babylon 5 where just wide enough to accomodate the shoulder pads of the vorlons | Apr 04 00:19 |
DaemonFC | the tech they use is based on Shadow design | Apr 04 00:19 |
_goblin | are you sure, I thought it was Minbari/Vorlon | Apr 04 00:19 |
DaemonFC | nope | Apr 04 00:20 |
_goblin | I remember the shadow hybrid earth ships towards the end of the Babylon 5 series...... | Apr 04 00:20 |
_goblin | but they looked part shadow | Apr 04 00:20 |
DaemonFC | my favorite ships were the Advanced Omega Destroyer | Apr 04 00:20 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Apr 04 00:20 |
DaemonFC | but the Warlock class was based on Shadow tech as well | Apr 04 00:20 |
_goblin | the excalibur looked Vorlon when it fired its primary weapon. | Apr 04 00:20 |
DaemonFC | and those were impressive too | Apr 04 00:21 |
DaemonFC | the Warlock weapons were less powerful than the Advanced Omega, but they didn't need a rotating section to provide artificial gravity | Apr 04 00:21 |
DaemonFC | so neither has a clear advantage really | Apr 04 00:22 |
MinceR | gn | Apr 04 00:22 |
DaemonFC | if the rotating section on the Omega was disabled in a firefight, the crew would have no gravity of course | Apr 04 00:22 |
DaemonFC | but powerful weapons are nice | Apr 04 00:22 |
_goblin | ok....question of the day..... | Apr 04 00:23 |
_goblin | Borg V Shadow....who would win? | Apr 04 00:23 |
DaemonFC | tough one | Apr 04 00:23 |
DaemonFC | depends on the size of the Borg force | Apr 04 00:23 |
_goblin | borg cube V shadow destroyer | Apr 04 00:23 |
DaemonFC | The Shadows would have the initial advantage, but the Borg adapt | Apr 04 00:23 |
DaemonFC | ahhhh | Apr 04 00:24 |
_goblin | keeping in mind that the borg got whipped by the species from fluidic space. | Apr 04 00:24 |
DaemonFC | the Shadows | Apr 04 00:24 |
_goblin | I agree. | Apr 04 00:24 |
DaemonFC | they can use the tactic of warping back into hyperspace if needs be | Apr 04 00:24 |
DaemonFC | popping back out elsewhere | Apr 04 00:24 |
_goblin | Vorlon V Tholian | Apr 04 00:24 |
DaemonFC | another tough one | Apr 04 00:25 |
DaemonFC | I'm going to say draw | Apr 04 00:25 |
_goblin | and finally.... | Apr 04 00:25 |
_goblin | Naan V Empire | Apr 04 00:25 |
_goblin | Narn | Apr 04 00:25 |
_goblin | Equal size fleets | Apr 04 00:25 |
_goblin | I would say Narn only because the weaponary seemed more advanced than the Empire | Apr 04 00:26 |
DaemonFC | well, they can use the beam weapons as a slicing tool | Apr 04 00:26 |
DaemonFC | and that's not how energy weapons in the Star Trek universe operate :) | Apr 04 00:26 |
_goblin | oh and I think the Vorlons would win.....Tholian ships weaponary is limited and remember the vorlons had the planet killer | Apr 04 00:26 |
DaemonFC | but the energy shields on Imperial ships might balance things out | Apr 04 00:26 |
DaemonFC | depends on if the Narn figure out how to bring down their shields | Apr 04 00:27 |
_goblin | how did we get on to this? | Apr 04 00:27 |
DaemonFC | *shrug* | Apr 04 00:27 |
_goblin | Ballmer V Obama | Apr 04 00:27 |
_goblin | Im going with Obama | Apr 04 00:27 |
DaemonFC | not a valid question | Apr 04 00:27 |
DaemonFC | Ballmer contributed to Obama | Apr 04 00:28 |
_goblin | we are being hypothetical and considering we've just been talking about sci-fi battles from two different brands I think anything goes. | Apr 04 00:28 |
DaemonFC | of course in the political world, that doesn't make an ally | Apr 04 00:28 |
DaemonFC | it makes a threat | Apr 04 00:28 |
DaemonFC | serve us or your contribs go to your opponent next time | Apr 04 00:28 |
_goblin | I still have a soft spot for Sarah Palin.. | Apr 04 00:29 |
DaemonFC | I still want to move to the Real America | Apr 04 00:29 |
DaemonFC | sounds cozy | Apr 04 00:29 |
_goblin | In the UK she could never be demonized.....the media doesn't do that to attractive people. | Apr 04 00:30 |
DaemonFC | she's a villain | Apr 04 00:30 |
_goblin | Im sure....but she's still a fine looking woman | Apr 04 00:30 |
DaemonFC | doesn't the UK villainize villains? | Apr 04 00:31 |
_goblin | Not usually if they are attractive.....doesn't make for good paper headlines | Apr 04 00:31 |
_goblin | I can't believe I missed Dr Who.... | Apr 04 00:33 |
_goblin | I was at work when it was on..... | Apr 04 00:33 |

_goblin | shame on you! | Apr 04 00:33 |
DaemonFC | they tried to Americanize it once | Apr 04 00:34 |
DaemonFC | didn't survive past the pilot | Apr 04 00:34 |
_goblin | yeah I saw that... | Apr 04 00:34 |
_goblin | what an insult. | Apr 04 00:34 |
DaemonFC | same with Red Dwarf | Apr 04 00:34 |
_goblin | yeah I heard that too. | Apr 04 00:34 |
_goblin | bad? | Apr 04 00:34 |
DaemonFC | there's a pilot for an American Red Dwarf out there | Apr 04 00:34 |
DaemonFC | extremely bad | Apr 04 00:34 |
DaemonFC | especially the American version of Lister | Apr 04 00:34 |
DaemonFC | the actor was terrible at it | Apr 04 00:34 |
_goblin | I think the big mistake Red Dwarf in the UK made was having CGI in the later series....the whole charm and funnyness of Red Dwarft was that the creatures looked so tacky, silly and fake. | Apr 04 00:35 |
DaemonFC | I think my favorite Red Dwarf thing ever was the Suicide Squid | Apr 04 00:35 |
DaemonFC | that was funny | Apr 04 00:35 |

cubezzz | store's open until 11pm though | Apr 04 00:56 |
cubezzz | ugh | Apr 04 00:56 |
cubezzz | what sort of movies are you watching DaemonFC? | Apr 04 00:56 |
DaemonFC | Screamers | Apr 04 00:56 |
DaemonFC | 1995 | Apr 04 00:56 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 00:57 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: was it you? | Apr 04 00:57 |
schestowitz | "(AP) – 2 hours ago" | Apr 04 00:57 |
schestowitz | "The man's name hasn't been released pending notification of his family." | Apr 04 00:57 |
DaemonFC | the Type II and III Screamers could cut a person's face off and wear it | Apr 04 00:57 |
schestowitz | You came here about 2 hours ago | Apr 04 00:57 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: you watched too much "Silence of the Lamb" | Apr 04 00:58 |
schestowitz | BTW, my relative directed Hannibal | Apr 04 00:58 |
cubezzz | I haven't went to the movies in a long time | Apr 04 00:58 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Dr. Lecter in Silence of the Lambs cut that guard's face off and used it to get out in the ambulance | Apr 04 00:58 |
DaemonFC | rmember? | Apr 04 00:58 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: Seen that too obviously | Apr 04 00:58 |
cubezzz | that sounds rather implausible | Apr 04 00:58 |
DaemonFC | and Red Dragon | Apr 04 00:58 |
DaemonFC | and Hannibal | Apr 04 00:58 |
_goblin | never liked those type of movies | Apr 04 00:59 |
cubezzz | if someone really cut off a guy's face and tried to wear it, it would be 100% obvious | Apr 04 00:59 |
DaemonFC | "Buffalo Bill" | Apr 04 00:59 |
DaemonFC | It puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again. | Apr 04 00:59 |
schestowitz | He also directed Red Dragon | Apr 04 00:59 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 00:59 |
cubezzz | but that's the movies | Apr 04 00:59 |
schestowitz | But nothing compared to the original | Apr 04 00:59 |
schestowitz | Sequels usually suck | Apr 04 00:59 |
DaemonFC | not always | Apr 04 01:00 |
cubezzz | Empire Strikes Back was a good sequel | Apr 04 01:00 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't say these sucked | Apr 04 01:00 |
DaemonFC | just not as good as the first one | Apr 04 01:00 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Yes, but Lucas was smart enough to do an open ended story taking place in a broader "universe" | Apr 04 01:01 |
_goblin | cubezzz: I would disagree......the empire was too open ended, didn't have the feel good of good guy over bad guy that new hope did. | Apr 04 01:01 |
DaemonFC | so he could milk and franchise forever | Apr 04 01:01 |
schestowitz | Turns out he also did X-Men | Apr 04 01:01 |
cubezzz | well... | Apr 04 01:01 |
cubezzz | i thought it was good | Apr 04 01:01 |
schestowitz | cubezzz: AmazingAtheist does a list of good sequels | Apr 04 01:01 |
schestowitz | Let me find it | Apr 04 01:01 |
cubezzz | but it's only Star Wars after all | Apr 04 01:01 |
DaemonFC | the worst thing they did to Star Wars was turn the Wookies into Ewoks | Apr 04 01:01 |
cubezzz | it was a big deal when I was a lot younger | Apr 04 01:02 |
DaemonFC | on the forest moon of Endor :) | Apr 04 01:02 |
_goblin | back to the future seemed to retain the charm of the original whilst improving on it. | Apr 04 01:02 |

cubezzz | actually I have a phase prop :) | Apr 04 01:04 |
DaemonFC | Gauss rifle from Fallout | Apr 04 01:04 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Apr 04 01:04 |
_goblin | does it have to be from a sci-fi series? | Apr 04 01:04 |
DaemonFC | _goblin: yes | Apr 04 01:05 |
_goblin | if not then the cerebral bore from Turok | Apr 04 01:05 |
DaemonFC | that counts | Apr 04 01:05 |
_goblin | thats my choice then. | Apr 04 01:05 |
_goblin | everyone's got a brain......like to see any sci-fi villain get away from that weapon | Apr 04 01:06 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz: The government of Connecticut in 2005 used its eminent domain authority to seize and bulldoze an entire (non-blighted) housing community in violation of the US Constitution | Apr 04 02:59 |
DaemonFC | it went to court and the US Supreme Court glossed over the fact that the state was NOT using the power within the scope of Constitutional law | Apr 04 03:00 |
DaemonFC | the reason it was unconstitutional is because the Fifth Amendment requires any land taken to be for public use | Apr 04 03:00 |
DaemonFC | and the state government wanted to seize it and in turn have the companies that wanted to move in their rent it to them for ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR | Apr 04 03:01 |
DaemonFC | so if that's not already bad enough, nothing has been built there, five years later, largely because the Pfizer drug cartel member closed all of its facilities in that state anyway and canceled the one they wanted to plant on the illegally seized property | Apr 04 03:02 |
DaemonFC | so the state spent $80 million in public looting funds to bulldoze a bunch of peoples houses so that corporations could rent the land essentially rent free, on the vague promise of providing a few jobs | Apr 04 03:03 |
DaemonFC | and it's a gigantic empty field now | Apr 04 03:03 |

neighborlee | mac like interface is safari and itunes | Apr 04 04:05 |
DaemonFC | yeah, which don't work well | Apr 04 04:05 |
neighborlee | safar is growing on me a bit..though I dont like default 'find' code as it exits when you goto another url | Apr 04 04:05 |
DaemonFC | If I ended up with a Mac, I would end up bypassing most of the stuff that came with it | Apr 04 04:06 |
DaemonFC | just like I do on Windows | Apr 04 04:06 |

DaemonFC | yeah, Oblivion is definitely more upbeat | Apr 04 04:12 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 04:12 |

neighborlee | dain shame its not mp | Apr 04 04:12 |

DaemonFC | that would be badass | Apr 04 04:13 |
DaemonFC | done with main quest in 5 minutes | Apr 04 04:13 |
neighborlee | heh | Apr 04 04:13 |

neighborlee | did you play any of the expansions ? | Apr 04 04:13 |
DaemonFC | \Oblivion? | Apr 04 04:13 |
neighborlee | fallout | Apr 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | I have the GOTY version of oth | Apr 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | so I have all add-ons | Apr 04 04:14 |
neighborlee | ah | Apr 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | my character in Fallout 3 is level 30 something | Apr 04 04:15 |
DaemonFC | all attributes are more or less as high as they can get | Apr 04 04:15 |
DaemonFC | he has T-51b Winterized Power Armor and Chinese Stealth Armor | Apr 04 04:15 |
DaemonFC | and almost every weapon there is in the game | Apr 04 04:15 |
DaemonFC | and lots of perks, including that animals don't attack him | Apr 04 04:16 |
DaemonFC | and they fight whatever does attack him | Apr 04 04:16 |
DaemonFC | about the only non-humans I have to watch out for are super mutants, deathclaws, scorpions, and roaches | Apr 04 04:16 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 04:16 |
DaemonFC | he has the ghoul mask so those won't attack him either | Apr 04 04:16 |
DaemonFC | Lincolns Repeater and the Gauss Rifle are what I use most all the time | Apr 04 04:17 |
DaemonFC | I have plenty of weapons though | Apr 04 04:17 |
DaemonFC | Lincoln's Repeater uses .40 Magnum rounds | Apr 04 04:18 |
DaemonFC | it's a better sniper rifle than the sniper rifle | Apr 04 04:18 |
DaemonFC | it also is very accurate | Apr 04 04:19 |
DaemonFC | I bust out the Gauss Rifle for things like Deathclaws and Super Mutants | Apr 04 04:19 |
*WireWulf is now known as WireWulf-away | Apr 04 04:19 | |
DaemonFC | not worth wasting rounds for the Gauss Rifle on humanoids | Apr 04 04:19 |
DaemonFC | well, Gauss Rifle is also very effective against Enclave soldiers cause of their power armor | Apr 04 04:20 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 04:20 |
DaemonFC | it does lots of damage, has a good knockdown chance | Apr 04 04:20 |
DaemonFC | makes it ideal for huge monsters and heavily armored humans | Apr 04 04:21 |
DaemonFC | if your opponent is too close for comfort when you notice them, hit them in the torso with a gauss round and watch them go flying about 10 feet | Apr 04 04:22 |
DaemonFC | grenades around corners and through windows work nicely too :) | Apr 04 04:22 |
DaemonFC | neighborlee: I always have preferred semi-automatic handguns and rifles to "spray and pray" | Apr 04 04:24 |
DaemonFC | shotguns are useless for distance combat too | Apr 04 04:24 |
neighborlee | ic ;) | Apr 04 04:24 |
DaemonFC | spray and pray weapons are for people who can't aim | Apr 04 04:25 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Apr 04 04:25 |
DaemonFC | I believe that a person with an accurate semi-automatic rifle who can aim is more dangerous than a guy out there with an AK-47 | Apr 04 04:26 |
DaemonFC | he'd be out there unloading magazines to kill all of 3 people and I'd be sneaking over to a firing point to take the guy out with one shot | Apr 04 04:27 |
DaemonFC | assault rifles are for pussies | Apr 04 04:27 |
DaemonFC | do the police ever go in there spraying bullets in the guy's general direction or do they get on a rooftop and crack the guy's head wide open with one round? | Apr 04 04:28 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 04:28 |
DaemonFC | the government should have outlawed semi-automatic rifles and left the automatic ones alone if they really wanted to make the general public "safer" | Apr 04 04:29 |
DaemonFC | I've noticed the people with semi-automatic weapons usually manage to kill 2-3 times as many people as the nuts with full auto | Apr 04 04:30 |
DaemonFC | it works out that way in Fallout 3's targeting system too | Apr 04 04:31 |

-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] @schestowitz I'll meet you in your chat room to discuss this...even the "crews" define themselves as pirates, I think the word is accepted. | Apr 04 09:22 | |
_goblin | its a term thats been adopted like google has for search..... | Apr 04 09:23 |
_goblin | even the piracy crews call themselves pirates and I think its accepted that its a wholly different meaning from stripey jumpers, parrots and making people walk the plant | Apr 04 09:23 |
_goblin | *plank | Apr 04 09:23 |
_goblin | the term "Pirate" was being used by Fairlight during the 16bit computing days | Apr 04 09:24 |
_goblin | they revelled in using it. | Apr 04 09:24 |
_goblin | there is no problem with it having a double meaning and everyone knows that its a whole different world to that of piracy on the high seas. | Apr 04 09:25 |
_goblin | and its far better than the word "theft" since as defined in Sec(1) of theft act, data is wholly inappropriate to be described in that way. | Apr 04 09:25 |

yuhong | "The ugly fact is that no American corp in a monopoly position can do anything other than cheat and lie and steal in the end. It is ingrained in the business culture and all that is required for any traded corp to be made to work this way is a bit of investor and executive turnover with a sprinkling of lawsuits. Even Google will succumb to this as their regular M.O. eventually." | Apr 04 23:38 |
yuhong | Rebunking this. | Apr 04 23:38 |
MinceR | yuhong: you aren't "rebunking" anything. | Apr 04 23:38 |
yuhong | Why? | Apr 04 23:38 |
MinceR | yuhong: you said "i would not go that far" and then you compared him to someone else | Apr 04 23:39 |

schestowitz | MinceR: "I'm not an apologist, but..." | Apr 04 23:40 |
MinceR | yuhong: "i would not go that far" is not a "rebuttal", either. | Apr 04 23:40 |
schestowitz | If you are seen as a solid defender, then you are less credible | Apr 04 23:40 |
MinceR | schestowitz: he has absolutely no credibility. | Apr 04 23:41 |

yuhong | No. | Apr 04 23:53 |
MinceR | you "rebuke" by saying that they said falsehoods and now they're somehow required to prove things to you, while you just stand by and keep saying "i would not go that far" | Apr 04 23:53 |
MinceR | i doubt anyone will take you seriously. :> | Apr 04 23:53 |
MinceR | also, your claim that "I have done research" is meaningless after all | Apr 04 23:54 |

*Balrog_ (~Balrog@pool-74-109-57-129.phlapa.east.verizon.net) has joined #boycottnovell | Apr 04 23:55 | |

MinceR | +that | Apr 04 23:55 |
yuhong | Yes, I do a lot of research on the web everyday. | Apr 04 23:55 |
MinceR | i see, you call browsing and reading unproven statements on m$ blogs "research" | Apr 04 23:55 |
yuhong | No. | Apr 04 23:56 |
yuhong | I read plenty of web sites everyday. | Apr 04 23:56 |
MinceR | oh, i see | Apr 04 23:56 |
yuhong | Ars, TechCrunch, so on... | Apr 04 23:56 |
MinceR | so browsing _plenty_ of web sites is "research" | Apr 04 23:56 |
yuhong | Yes. | Apr 04 23:56 |
yuhong | I have seen some of the issues raised by Guttman discussed on AnandTech, for example. | Apr 04 23:57 |
MinceR | even if they only contain assertions of various kinds and you filter them and keep the ones that are favorable to m$ | Apr 04 23:57 |

yuhong | Which I don't. | Apr 04 23:57 |
yuhong | I have sometimes disassembled code too. | Apr 04 23:57 |

MinceR | i have disassembled code, too. | Apr 04 23:58 |
MinceR | big deal. | Apr 04 23:58 |
yuhong | Yes, I mean "this is probably not true". | Apr 04 23:58 |
MinceR | that must be really convincing | Apr 04 23:58 |

yuhong | Others provided evidence that it was true, and I believed them. | Apr 04 23:59 |
MinceR | yet you haven't referenced that supposed "evidence" | Apr 04 23:59 |
MinceR | it's just like m$'s "proof" that Linux contains code that belongs to m$. | Apr 04 23:59 |
cubezzz | bah | Apr 04 23:59 |
yuhong | And it is by doing research that I know that it could be believed. | Apr 04 23:59 |
