  1. Re:They're still at this? on Microsoft Redefines "Open Standards" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, that makes things so easy!

    1 - Define 'open' as 'made by your freaking money-grabbing company'

    2 - Impose your definition to everyone else

    3 - Profit!!!

    Or in having a flame-war about OSes and Vi over Emacs ?

    Of course we don't have to argue about that; vi is much better.

    Now the problem is covering all these poor countries areas with cell antennas.

    At least here in Brazil, that's a big problem in rural areas, much worse than electricity.

  5. Re:Mutually Assured Destruction? I think not... on Microsoft vs. Google — Mutually Assured Destruction · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Me neither.

    What Google s chief executive, Eric Schmidt, has to fear more than anything else is that heâ(TM)ll awake one day to learn that the Google search engine suddenly doesn t work on any Windows computers: something happened overnight and what worked yesterday doesnâ(TM)t work today. It would have to be an act of deliberate sabotage on Microsoft s part and blatantly illegal, but that doesnâ(TM)t mean it couldn t happen. Microsoft would claim ignorance and innocence and take days, weeks or months to reverse the effect, during which time Google would have lost billions.

    Does he _really_ think Microsoft would do that? How? Some intentionally broken windows update? If they really could do that (and I don't think it's possible in any way), and if they really did that, then:

    1 - Google and people all around the world would figure out ways of making google work again in any Windows computer.

    2 - Microsoft would drown itself in legal issues in no time.

    Are you sure that answer was for me?

    I just thought it'd be funny remembering that NASA was using an Access ODBC driver in such a big project. It was just a counter-example of what the GP had said. I wasn't offended at all - I just think there is no reason to think there is a tendency in governments and etc of switching to Linux. I think they should, but I don't think it's happening. Citation needed, you know.

    You seem to be a nice guy, sorry I made you so mad.

    Look at this. That was me.

    Yeah, TFA didn't tell this. Let's get it straight:

    I was thinking to myself... why is this any different to any porn site out there? Is porn now prohibited in the US?

    I thought there was child porn or something like that, but, after reading TFA, I can't see a problem at all.

    She's still a person, even if she doesn't have a life like you and me. Don't you think your logical approach and cynism are useless here? Her parents love her. Should we kill her anyway?

    Think about killing old people with Alzheimer. Would that be the 'right' thing to do?

    You took a big logical jump about my sig. There is no saying about killing the ones who don't have a life.

    I don't remember bashing someone here in /. but you really sound like a dumbass. Sorry.

    I _really_ don't think her parents would agree with that.

    Anyway, the only reason you don't kill an infant is that he/she will grow up? If he doesn't develop, you should kill him?

    - But supose you did. Why would you lie about sneezing?

    - Hm, maybe because I wouldn't want you to know that I have the swine flu and lock me up in here.

    - So, when did you get the flu then?

    - I didn't get the flu.

    - Oh, i see. We've got a smart-ass here!
