Comment Re:Lower-wattage bulbs (Score 2, Insightful) 391

Let me just summarize the parent for you. 1. Generalized statements about a population without any studies indicating a statistical or causal relationship to back them up. 2. Anecdotal example of a one scenario that backs up his generalized statement without any studies cited that provide a statistical or causal relationship to back it up. 3. Expression of an opinion as a fact followed by a combined statement of opinion as fact followed by another generalized statement without any study cited to back it up. Now my opinion. I think that if we are going to have a debate on the benefits of a particular point of view, we should be sure that we express the WHY and HOW of our opinions by providing a cited source of actual research that follows the scientific method for determining results. Gut reactions to anecdotal examples does not a well-informed opinion make. Insightful, my ass.

Yes for want of a loss you are. But as our presence in this forum indicates we place our attention to that which makes our interest. Santa Cruz may be a distant location from where we stand, but their operation is within the context of the software we employ. Should the subject be changed to more enjoyable matters perhaps we could pontificate about that delicious beverage that the Tranya is. Whether ranting about the uniformity of goodness of our desired software framework or perpetuating the consults of the monopolistic vendor, Tranya is ever present in its ability to provide delicious refreshment.

Comment Litigating. (Score 0, Offtopic) 213

We all desire to have the multimedia data streams flow through our entertainment devices. From tither and yon, we coalesce the elements to build complete edited fabrications of the initial entertainment distribution. We consume voraciously the images and waveforms and hunger for even more largess, compiling and building large storage complexes. Until one spills the Tranya onto the devices rendering them non-functional. We cry and feel saddened by our loss, but the Tranya is still there to comfort us in our hour of need.

Comment The Tranya. It Burns! (Score 1) 586

No holiday celebration is complete without the delicious liquid refreshment that the Tranya is. So many have fallen to its aromatic and tasty charms. Yes, we do relish it quite a bit. Its not just for star ship attacks, it is a delightful quenching of any celebratory thirst. Once you have partaken of the Tranya, you will understand. That citrusy belch inducing liquid cannot be beat. The Tranya, it burns!

Comment Unadultered Alterations (Score 5, Funny) 622

The alterations of of images transposed from within the confines of allocated semiconductor memory is a travesty of trustworthiness that makes on think of the simpler days of the chemical process for capturing images and storage on layered flexible devices. Those recollections also recoup melancholy days of sipping the Tranya amidst the family on late autumn holidays. One weeps for what this has become.

Comment Re:Justifications (Score 1) 278

A legislative doctrine to remedy the insufficient penality of perusing communication records may be the change we need, but as our undergarments may get soiled for lack of replacement so will our government forensic investigators. So lets all sip some Tranya and celebrate the coming of a new age in legal manifestations that bring about restrictive circumstances endangering our ability to perceive what is a new reality.

Do you think the experience of your trojan popping up would disuade you from the intended circumstances having being performed? I really think this mythical "Trojan" would do itself well as to not pop, but rather to fizz, just under the breath of its intended victim. It is curious that when the forum for discussing the opportunistic requiems bally about on the coordinated cicrumstances, no one raises the issue of how delicious the Tranya is. I mean how can this escape our notice? I do relish it quite a bit.

Ho ho ho, your humor is irrepressantly fascinatingly killian like. No, I'm not referring to the likeliness of someone slipping on a banana peel, but more of someone who cannot determine the existence of such a peel even in their midst because of the vagaries of density in matter. When one sips of the Tranya, they can see the world anew. Never again with the hijinks of virtual likeness of chief executives who concern themselves with indiscretions by script kiddies. More likely they imbibe on the nectar of the gods that Tranya is. Your scribe will not endeavor to move beyond the trivialities of such nonsensical musings. Instead, they will stretch their actualities into a shape only know to their inner selves. So do not resist the citrus belches and glucosian after taste. Imbibe early and often when nature sees fit to present you with the Tranya.

Perhaps if your comment can be taken in the context of what would happen under different circumstances on the eventuality of operating system mechanical fluxuations. My! Haven't we been through the time-tested variation of correlated fluid operations. No, I don't mean the central overload of keen observational pragmatic or parametric coin flipping. More like the sensual slirp of that delicious concoction we commonly refer to as Tranya! Oh, I know it well. Its citrus belches and glucosian after taste. Don't get me wrong. I really am not aware of the insidious fragility of the time honored placement of needs, but when I drink of the Tranya, I am transposed into a never ending delight of the senses. So do not go sullen into that night. Imbibe with all of the frivolity nature endures. Only then you will know. Until then, post this dissertation with an understanding that the needs of one and the needs of many are often coincident with each other.

No, the ISS is not officially outfitted with Tranya dispensers. Meeting out that liquid refreshment to the delight and enjoyment of the ISS staff. Had a tough day aligning the offset gyro navigation system? Here, cool down and relax with a large tumbler filled with your favorite refreshment. The Tranya, it goes down smooth. With each sip, the tensions of the day are belched up with that delicious citrus after taste. Tranya! Its not just for star ship attacks. Today's Tranya drinkers are cool, invigorated successful and precocious imbibers. Enjoy!

You forget the multiplier effect of cool breezes on a summer afternoon. Sipping Tranya out of a tall glass. No need to add ice, the beverage provides its delicious refreshment free of chemical or thermodynamic modifiers. Imagine, a light breeze wafting through the air, laying back in a reclined position, sipping on this delicious concoction. You will be titilated by the promise of sensations yet to come. Enjoy all that the Tranya is.

They placed it into the orthogontric manufacturing process. Three sheets to the wind on the Tranya supplies. Once they garantulate wildly, the machines are configured to support their minimal power supplied outcomes. We never cease to see from Intel, the various supply side ergonomics we seek from time to time. Never underestimate the power of free radical electrons to cogitate your display device on even intervals. When in doubt, there is always the forceful inclusion of semiconducted forest derivatives. Be vigilant, and some day you will have the freedom to encode entertainment streams through your house.

Comment This is good news. (Score -1, Offtopic) 315

This is good news for the Tranya industry. We will be able to manufacture the delicious beverage at a greater rate than previously thought possible. The citrus indulgence can be served to your guests on any occasion, not just when you have been attacked by a star ship. I for one, am jubilant about the prospects of this tingly sensation being sipped on warm summer days or on long winter nights. The Tranya of my youth cannot be forgotten and today I have even more reason to celebrate this delicious beverage.
