  1. Re:Anonymity on Multi Theft Auto - San Andreas Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    which they gave to them

    They knew what the project was, they freely gave to them, I don't see the issue.

  2. Re:Kudos to Niggers on Google Sorts 1 Petabyte In 6 Hours · · Score: 1

    Try the low bandwidth view and/or disabling the dynamic comments, then filter at 1. Oh and hand in your geek card for not being able to circumvent censorware at work.

  3. Re:Brainless on Hacks Allowing Disabled Gamers To Play Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    While it seems difficult in reverse, it still might help someone before they are learning a true instrument. I'm sure that Guitar Hero & Rock Band do teach good finger coordination and decent timing skills and music can be simplified to a combo of good rhythm and a melody which usually requires decent finger coordination. Of course good music comes from the soul etc. but it does seem to teach basic techniques in a fun way. I would encourage those interested in playing an instrument to practise with it, especially the drum kits they have recently provided. Banging a stick is easily transposable to a proper kit.

  4. Re:Silverblight and Mono. on Microsoft's Office Web Will Do iPhone, Linux, Mac · · Score: 1

    He's been nametrolled, so I think he has every right to be wound up by and point out twitters shenanigans.

  5. Re:!embryonic on Successful Stem Cell Replacement of Windpipe · · Score: 1

    A dozen undifferentiated human cells constitute a human lifeform. If it's not human, what is it then?

  6. Re:No problem on Monty Python Banks On the Long Tail Via YouTube · · Score: 1

    Hulu has the distinct issue of refusing non-US based connections. A little VPN here or a little proxy there and their detection can be bypassed trivially, yet they insist on denying access to a worldwide captive audience. Their advertisers are missing out on a huge amount of exposure for no good reason.

    So, with that out of the way, can you let the rest of the world know how exactly the ads are shown on Hulu?

  7. Re:I agree, but let's keep it in perspective on It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency · · Score: 1

    We just let the weather do the defending.

  8. Re:well, this part makes me wonder if I can share on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    Putting it in a box and selling it? People that want to copy software already do, having source wouldn't change anything.

  9. Re:well, this part makes me wonder if I can share on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    Guess what - they aren't making their money by distributing software. Being open or closed would not affect WoW one iota. It's not like it hasn't been reverse engineered thousands of times over anyway by all sorts of folks from modders and cheats to those trying to emulate the server.

  10. Re:well, this part makes me wonder if I can share on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    No, it's called dictatorship. Stallman wants to be a free software tyrant. Luckily, true free software is some French anarchist called 'libre' who couldn't give a toss about religious zealots.

  11. Re:Leave Stallman alone *sobs* on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    What are you on about? There was a licensing conflict with Mozilla and Debian, so they forked. If anyone's doing a dick move, it's the Mozilla Foundation for being so anal about their logo.

  12. Re:I Just Took A Huge Shit on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    Actually, he says "I think these two problems have both been corrected, so maybe the distributed Firefox binaries are free software today."

    So they fixed the two criticisms he had, yet he still only 'maybe' thinks they are free. His 'excellent reason' makes absolutely no sense. He's probably just jealous that they have a successful ideology combining free software with making some profit from their ventures.

  13. Re:Free Software != Communism on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Indeed, which is why RMS should stop trying to enforce his mindset, and embrace the anarchism inherent in digital reproducibility. BSD is a license that reflects this.

  14. Re:I Just Took A Huge Shit on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    That might be a little hard to do, what with the prior art being publicly available. Not that a little thing like that would stop a patent troll, but still.

  15. Re:Your Movie Rights Online. on Canadian Fined For Videoing Movie In Theatre · · Score: 1

    Like, for example, the ability to upload the data for others to download and circumvent copyright laws, and therefore is significantly different than a brain.

    So arrest him for that. If the video is only ever used for personal private use, who was harmed by the filming?

  16. I think I've got it on a bit tight today on Mind Control Delusions and the Web · · Score: 1
  17. Re:as long as the bleading hearts don't do the sam on Plasma Plants Vaporize Trash While Creating Energy · · Score: 1

    It's a step in the wrong direction. It doesn't solve landfill, just shifts the dumping ground. We need to eliminate waste constructively, through increasing efficiency, reuse and recycling, advancing material science and stopping intractable waste at the source.

  18. Re:Your High School Physics Teacher Called on Plasma Plants Vaporize Trash While Creating Energy · · Score: 1

    Adding fuel to a fire != perpetual motion.

  19. Re:Another common mystery on 11,000-Year-Old Temple Found In Turkey · · Score: 4, Funny

    So you're saying that in ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, there lived an ancient race, the Druids. No-one knows who they were, or what they were doing, but their legacy remains, hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge.

  20. Re:Does anyone use this OS any more? on Microsoft's "Dead Cow" Patch Was 7 Years In the Making · · Score: 1

    So it crashes 3 times a month, and the blue screens don't tell you anything at all useful about what failed, where it failed or why. They really went the extra mile on the backwards compatibility didn't they! Hopefully they'll have it patched sometime in the next 7 years or so.

  21. Not all that great... on Microsoft's "Dead Cow" Patch Was 7 Years In the Making · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Microsoft has released the specifications for the binary file formats used by pre-2007 Microsoft Office applications"

    And we all know how well Microsoft maintains backwards compatibility with its office file formats...

  22. Re:Does anyone use this OS any more? on Microsoft's "Dead Cow" Patch Was 7 Years In the Making · · Score: 1

    On my ancient Amstrad XT the UK keyboard mapped shift-tab (or was it shift-capslock..) to delete. I could just mash the buttons on the left hand side with my little finger for a one finger salute. For some reason I really miss that old keyboard.

  23. Re:The lowest point in the Netherlands on As Seas Rise, Maldives Seek To Buy a New Homeland · · Score: 1

    No, that's Great Britain.

  24. Re:Makes me recall Bangladesh on As Seas Rise, Maldives Seek To Buy a New Homeland · · Score: 1

    I am shocked and abhorred that you would even deign to make such a comparison. Rats are generally very intelligent and exhibit far more empathy than the GP.

  25. Re:A simple question on As Seas Rise, Maldives Seek To Buy a New Homeland · · Score: 1

    It's losing ice now, so it is already melting. On the bright side, if all the ice melted away the Maldavians would have a nice new home to go to!
