    His sentence could return false. Anyway, the sintax is pretty dizzy. He could use defines or something.

    Well, I don't know how this really works, but they could be sued forever for this if they keep doing it, right?

    Maybe someone could sue any of the RIAA companies for looking at their p2p packets.

    Don't you know that Linux runs on top of Windows? Someone mentioned it yesterday. It should be easy to install!

    (ok... are you for real? OpenOffice HAS a Powerpoint replacement)

    Why only MySQL? PostgreSQL is a big competitor.

    Now the Ubuntu forums are filled with n00b posts flaming the world because 'Ubuntu sucks' and 'it ate my computer

    I can't understand you people. There are noobs everywhere, and I personally think it's a good thing that some of them start using Linux. And the idea of popularizing Linux to the average user is one of the main questions here in SlashDot.

    What I think you really want is to feel smarter than the average user. "Bleh, you're using Ubuntu, it's too easy."

    I respect Chu and I think he'll do a great job, but what you just said made me remember the Dilbert Principle:

    This makes me think about a period after a war with Brazil and Argentina when Paraguay's government actually encouraged polygamy.

    I could be happy in a place like that.

    Maybe it's just a story, but I've read something about Faraday that made me think about what you've written.

    When the Prime Minister asked him about a new discovery, "What good is it?", Faraday replied, "What good is a newborn baby?"

    The problem is not the action itself, but the argument. If the scripting was prohibited by the site, you were not allowed to do it, even if it's just making a service easier. You'd acting against the rules of the competition.

    Anyway, it seems even eBay is confused about this.

    If they don't want to allow scripting that is their problem to try and stop

    Yeah, and it shouldn't be illegal to try to rob a bank. If they don't want it, it's their problem to stop it. It's a much faster way of winning money than just working your ass off.

    From TFA:

    Meanwhile, bot scripts are being offered on RentACoder for $20 and even free of charge here and there.

    How can I sell my scripts if there is someone giving them out for free? This is outrageous!

    They could make _real_ calendar, with one picture each month, and sell high-quality prints of those. I'd buy one.

    Yeah, but if you have a natural explanation to the same event, I'd stick to that one. That's what I said.

  25. Re:Couldn't this also mean on Visual Hallucinations Are a Normal Grief Reaction · · Score: 1

    You're right. But what I said is that, given a natural event (example, an apple falling) you may have two groups of explanations - one (or more) explanations by Science, one (or more) explanations using ghosts, some kind of subtle, undetectable energy, or a octopus-shaped God (and those I'm calling supernatural). And between them, I will always choose the scientific one.
