Don't forget the most recent addition:

[list=1][*][something relevant to the topic for making money][*]?????[*]Profit![/list=1]

I dont bother posting at /. anymore because its gone to hell. Its all about trying to outdo the others and who can post the most complicated sounding thing........:rolleyes:

Come on,

You forgot any mention of M$ getting bigger or changing the EULA

FWIW, the "beowulf cluster" comments get you modded _down_ these days.

Gahhh!!

How could I have forgotten the "IANAL BUT, EULA/Implied contracts aren't enforcable/ you can't give up your legal rights in a click through contract.."

True that, the "beowolf" comment has been a "tad" *cough-cough* overused, its like its own bad cliche now..

Yeah, SD has declined a bit, but I browse at +2 so the S/N ratio isn't too bad. But when I need a laugh, -1 all the way! :flame:

Hmmmm maybe SD needs a new mod category
+1 Technobabble . The + mod to be determiend by how many years of higher learning are needed to tell if the poster is being factual/ pulling things out of their ***/ being deliberately obtuse/ +5 rating only for those posting in about Physics in what seems to be High Atlantean

Still SD isn't as bad as kur5hin!! Nothing beats being harangued by nitpicky pendantic intellectual moral equivalency bigots! heh!
