Oh drat! That was a four OUNCE bird....I fail....but still they couldn't carry a one pound scimitar regardless of geographical location...

What like between Europe and Africa? Even carrying it on a line, a four pound bird could not....oh never mind.

Ah Texas...well that's all you had to say. I applaud you for being able to leave that very ass backwards place. I withdraw my previous comments about Alaska.

Dude I have been reading alot of your comments on slashdot lately (they seem to get modded up alot) and I just wanna say, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ALASKA?? Seriously guy, your sig suggests we should love Alaska but everything you post makes me wanna run away...quickly...and never look back!

That was a reference to the Dave Chapelle show. You probably knew that and just felt like a being a douche. Congrats. Oh and since you've decided to be a grammar Nazi I will point out that you don't know grammar worth A shit. Pwnd.

and cocaine...don't forget the cocaine. hookers are no fun without cocaine

Do you indeed need someone to get you out of Worcester State Hospital or is that a joke I don't get? You might wanna consider making that clearer if that's the case.

I have been having this problem for weeks now. Whatever you responded to is not shown to me. I have the sliders slid over to show me everything and yet whoever you were talking to is not known to me. Because your post is rated quite high I'd love to see what was said but I can't. Is that new little flag in the corner responsible and if so when did it become OK on /. to censor information? Anyone else having this issue?

There is a sample schematic in the sidebar.

All your respondents seem to be able to come up with to counter your argument is your lack of paragraphs! Indeed they first ignore you then RIDICULE you. Looks like you will win after all. You sir, however little it may matter, have been added to my friends list. I'd like to hear more of what you say. Be wary though, following your a fore mentioned formula get ready for the attacks! They might start calling you nasty things like poopyhead! +5 Intelligent. MOD THIS GUY UP!

What if we took TWO shapes and put them together with a line?

Really? I have a brash writing style. I speak clearly, plainly, and simply. My opinions are often unpopular and often against the groupthink (I AM an antisocial nerd after all). That's the best part about /. and what I love most. I can say what I want and it isn't gonna get deleted. That is also the worst part. My karma has been terrible since about 2003. Is it because I troll? Am I posting GNAA ads? Hardly. I haven't posted a purposefully derogatory comment since the post that got me Terrible karma (which was a jab at some mac zealots). My comments may contain graphic language but you're all big boys (or girls) right? We all have to grow up sometime and I have. But my karma would make you think otherwise. The karma problem is alot like the poverty problem out in real life. Once you're down here at the bottom no one listens anymore and your posts are limited to 2 a day I think. No one hears me and hence no one mods me up. So much for getting yourself out of the hole. But hey I guess you'd be one of those folks who would also tell me to stop being poor and pull myself up by my boot straps. I've watched you post for years. I've even responded to quite a few of them but you'd never know because I have to do it AC. I contribute as much to this site as you, Kjella, garcia, Sycraft-fu, eldavojohn, Red Flayer, Jaysyn, NYCL or any of the other /. big names. I need a better way to fix my karma and there simply is no way to do that. As it is I'd have to join the groupthink, act like a yes man, and kiss some butt to get modded. Much like in real life. That just isn't the kind of guy I am. I'm also not the kind of person that if I don't get my way I go complaining to the admins as you also suggest. I fix things my own way but since the admins are asking, I'm telling them. I NEED BETTER TOOLS. It's 2011. You wouldn't ask me to program /. from a C64 or build a jet engine with just a hammer and screw driver. Let's try to solve this in a better manner than relying on people who hate what I say. That's one of the things this site was founded on: free speech. I may have no tact and I may play devil's advocate from time to time but the point is, I am contributing whether you like it or not. That makes me part of the community and for better or worse I have stuck with you guys since 1998ish. I need to load a saved game. I need an extra life. I'd like my karma to be put back to at least what a new user would get. Is that so much to ask?

SUGGESTIONS TO ADMINS: Add some sort of easier way to make links. I'm not a HTML programmer. I'm a hardware geek. I'd give you a real button to push instead of making you open the box up and fiddle with the circuitry. Do the same for me please. Also this weird web 2.0 stuff just doesn't operate quite right especially on a smartphone (I use Opera). The constantly spinning "Working" thingy at the bottom of the page also doesn't convince me that the DB is doing anymore work than it used to. Mine's always working and it never loads anything else even when I want it to.

I know those people you speak of exist but I have the opposite problem. I have been TRYING to get some kind of tower, I'll even take a power windmill, to be put on my property. I live in the country so our land value is already shot by the numerous trailers around here (not that I care about land value) but to have a major corporation actually lease a parcel of my land would be a guaranteed check to pay my mortgage every month. I have yet to find who exactly to contact regarding this or have been given the run around but I guess the reason I am failing is I don't "know" the right people or have enough money. If any of you guys have been successful in this please let me know!

You are correct. They are not stealing my electricity....yet. Do you remember when things like insurance were optional? There have been so many things that the goverment and business have tried out through the years that were optional or in trial testing and guess what? They didn't go away. We got stuck with them. So there will be a time when the power company will make remote controlled smart meters and grid tied inverters mandatory if you want any power at all. Then they'll just turn your a/c off when they want or a myriad of other things. There will be a day that if you want to go anywhere you'll have your gps tracked car auto drive you there- no option. Screw us who actually like to drive. Look at cellphones now. Originally using your phone as a gps was a neato feature that set different models apart, then it was legislated to be mandatory for "safety" and look now. Story after story of iphones and androids tracking you without consent. I also love the fact that I have a smart phone that somehow just won't work without that extra $30 data pack. I hardly believe that is a technical limitation. Cable companies forcing users to use their stupid receiver boxes....I could go on and on with examples of things that were originally just "optional" but then became mandatory. That's how they trick us into taking it in the ass without pissing us off. It's just one big game of "just the tip"

Replace "science" in your statement with the word "religion" or "The Constitution" and re-read it. That was one perfectly written generic statement. I applaud you, sir, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
