  1. The liberal French on Political Strife Erupts in Second Life · · Score: 1
    "Would it have been better to debate their ideas or even just ignore them?" I ask him. "Now they can claim they were 'suppressed' and their free speech was infringed."

    "No," Zok insists. "With this persons we can't debate or ignored. We can't because it's not acceptable."

    So, as long as someone agrees with you, you are allowed free speech. This seems strangely familiar to me....

    (Flame shield on!)

  2. Re:Why call out only the Democrats? on Mandatory DRM for Podcasts Proposed · · Score: 1

    I just want to know where are the /. hordes screaming for Democrats heads. It was a daily thing just a few months ago....

  3. Jump in the pcean on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1
    What are those of us who wish to finally see America catch up to the rest of the world supposed to do?

    And if the rest of the world jumped in the ocean....
    I fail to see the logic that just because everyone else does something, I need to do something...

  4. Try a will on What Does Your Dead Man's Switch Do? · · Score: 1
    Do you really life such an isolated life that no one will notice you died? Holy crap....

    Assuming someone will notice, try a will. Filled with the state, it will be executed upon your death.

  5. With open source the same problem exists on The Importance of OS Backwards Compatibility · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Not true at all. All that has to happen is have a supporting library change and the code doesn't work. Two examples:

    I am looking into a problem we have here where my software works fine with GD 2.0.23. If I upgrade GD to 2.0.28 (compiling from source, not using binaries) my code stops working. Everything compiles fine. Everything links fine. Just doesn't work.

    Look at the FOX toolkit. The interface completely changed from 1.X to 2.X. No backwards compatibility. I need to re-write all of my source to handle the new interface.

  6. Summary wrong on election on How Your Game Voting Turned Out · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    two of the only House seats that Republicans managed to hold on to

    Wow is this wrong. I suspect the author meant the only two contested seats that Republicans held on to. The House is completely re-elected every two years. If this statement was true, then only two Republicans would have house seats!!

  7. Re:My rights online on YouTube Restores Comedy Central Clips · · Score: 1

    You have a right to watch some one else's copyrighted material online? On a third party provider? Your definition of right is much different than mine. I have a desire, but not a right.

  8. Not yet it isn't... on Warrantless Surveillance To Continue For Now · · Score: 2, Insightful
    the unconstitutional and controversial warrantless

    controversial: obviously

    unconstitutional: Not until the courts rule it. If it is the appeal process it is NOT unconstitutional!!!

  9. All things political on Ten Geek Business Myths · · Score: 1
    but the sad fact of the matter is that compared to you, most people are pretty dumb (look at how many people vote Republican ;-)

    Someday I look forward to a day when not everything you read has to be political. Forget about which side is being picked on here, it is an article about geek myths! Why the Republican bash?

    Oh yea, /. requires all articles to have a bach against Republicans or (even better) George Bush.
