  1. Re:It's been done on Facebook Inbox Throws Blow At Google... No Flinch? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    If anything, this makes me want to disable my facebark as there is too much feature creep and too much Creepyberg. The core functionality has been lost underneath a shitstorm of new features that make me scramble for the options settings to turn the fuckerbergs off. WTF. Why not do the core functionality and let ME decide if I want to use the new GoogleWave... er, facebook wave? Is that too much to ask? Apparently so.

    The only spam I ever get on my one clean gmail account IS from a facebook invite, and not the one I ended up signing up with. From day one, FB has been a threat. Use at your own risk, Saddos!

  2. Re:Why is this even an idea? on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but what is the point of having a font so small it can barely be read? I can only think this is applicable to a very small display, where space is a premium and readability is of modest concern.

  3. Re:Big on The Beatles On iTunes · · Score: 1

    This is as good a place as any to chime in on this overloaded comment page.

    It's also significant in that Apple Records is now allowing Apple (formerly Computer) to sell their music. There had been a stipulated judgment, or some such legal agreement, between the two Apples that the computer company could not sell anything that would confuse their two marques, namely music. When music creation software first came out on the Macs, MIDI and the like, this challenged the relationship but they somehow got around that and eventually led to the music player creation, and of course the music store itself; iTunes. The Beatles Catalog was the final piece of missing musical information to complete Apple's music offerings, at least in terms of this band and their strange, and sometimes strained, relationship with the iPod maker.

  4. Do not want on Oracle Solaris 11 Express Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thanks, Larry. Unfortunately, we're up to our ears in new hardware running virtual instances of Solaris 8 and 9 still. Imagine all that wonderful new crap we could do with Solaris 11? Like hosting Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 forever... Please do something useful like not being a giant IT asshole. Thanks!

    Oh, and great work on Java and OpenOffice! Way to drive off any good developers. Guess you'll need to raise your prices even more to pay for angry junior software engineers to replace freely available, superior talent. Weren't you going to ride a balloon to the sun, or was that Beardy Branson? I get you two confused.

  5. Re:weeeeeeee on State-Sponsored CyberAttacks Expected To Rise · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Not only that, but the threat will be "right in the palm of your hand" and that should be scary enough for the average IT joe to spend some not so average cash on a problem that can't be quantified. How many apps does the average idiot download anyway? I stopped after 50 first month with my iPod and have not upgraded or bothered to find any since. Like the apps on facebook, the apps on the app store are mostly useless crap for shitheads. Period.

  6. Re:Google Wave, Anyone? on New Facebook Messaging System Announced · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It can't help but be better on FB. On Google, I'm doing mail and docs and searches, I'm not looking to mix it up with shitheads (which you call friends). On FB, it's all about nonsense communications and "look at my sandwich!" posts, so Wave will be perfect for that environment, me thinks.

    Go Fuckerbert! Roll out whatever comes to mind. It keeps the "look at my sandwich!" crowd entertained and your true customers (crApp designers) in loads of "social data on prospective clicksters." Everybody wins!

  9. Further reasoning suggests... on Tetris May Reduce PTSD, But Pub Quiz Makes It Worse · · Score: 1

    It stands to reason that if "Tetris competes with the images of trauma in the perceptual information channel" then Tetris would also compete with the images of pron in the perceptual information channel.

    Note to self; stop playing Tetris whilst viewing Intertube pr0ns.

  10. Re:Good on Microsoft on Microsoft Patents Foot Computing · · Score: 1

    They have. I've personally seen a foot-operated keyboard and mouse setup on a Mac in 1988 for a person without the ability to use the regular hand-operated input devices.

    DDR controls are too clumsy, what WOULD be clever is a mini-kinetic operated by toes, one hand, or a little puppet. This is a job for the maker-monkeys. Now fly, fly!

  11. Re:Here come the patent threats... on Kinect Hacked, Adafruit Bounty Won · · Score: 1

    Simple, the EULA protects the closed-source vendors, not you, the consumer from "misuse" of their shitty product. Every EULA is essentially a list of occurrences that they did not, would not, or could not code for, as well as a promise that you, the consumer, are the vendor's personal bitch and you aren't really allowed to use their products in the first place, but since you paid they'll let you for a limited time, until they can get you to upgrade to the next closed-release of their POS software. THIS is why I only buy used games and support all FOSS in the enterprise and in the home. Stick THAT in your drive and boot it, MS!

  13. Re:Larry Ellison's character on What's the Oracle Trial Against SAP Really About? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, and they try and fill it up with Japanese Zen gardens and big yachts. No amount of money can make you happy, it takes an ability to work with others and a comfort in one's abilities and successes, however small. Larry is like a really loud and obnoxious Richard "Beardy" Branson, only without any charisma, or charm, or wit, or courage, or sense of adventure, or fair play. Yes, nothing at all like Beardy Branson. Larry is just a really amazing, rich, successful, single-minded, asshole. :) And that's being kind. Solaris has paid my way thus far, and now I go on without Oracle. I'm much better off for it. It's motivate me to learn real computer languages like Perl and C. Glad I skipped Java, as that looks and sounds and smells like a big chunk of Oracle shit to me now. Being closed has many disadvantages. Not the least of which is their lack of goodwill. This will bite them in the ass in good time. Meanwhile... Linux, Perl, VMware awaits. But, if you have the $$ and the Oracle wares at your shop, I'll be glad to work them for you for a much heftier price... yes, suddenly working in an Oracle shop just got way fucking expensive... for them. Oracle, just pay my way and then get the fuck out of my way. I've got no time for lucky CEOs and their wacky horseshit behaviour.

    I was all set to shout; "See!? This is where Android rules!" Then, I thought better of that idiotic statement. Android will have this same issue and more of the same data hijacking apps that every system will contend with. Personally, I can think of worse things than a random skype call. Come on, Saddos! This is how you meet new people in the Golden Age of Social Networking. Get with the program as say hello to your new random friend!

  17. TSA bans Color E-Reader on domestic flights on E Ink Unveils Color E-Reader Display · · Score: 3, Funny

    This just in to the /. news room; The TSA has announced that E Ink Color E-Reader Displays are now banned from domestic flights worldwide. The little electronic eInks might be related to toner in toner cartridges and thus a threat to the safety and sanity of the worldwide local traveling community, at large. A spokesman for the TSA had this to say; "I don't know what all is in there, but those colors could be made to look like a powerful explosion or some such thing, or another. Heck, I just don't like the look of that contraption. It looks like some sort of controller for human zombie robots or somethin'."

  19. Re:Tampering on $2,000 Bounty For Open Source Xbox Kinect Drivers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And what a bad choice of language, not surprisingly from a MS spokesweasel. "Tamper-resistant" comes from the time when people were adding poison and other bad ingredients to Tylenol and other products which lacked the little foil "tamper-proof" seal on the package. Tamper-resistant should be protecting ME from something BAD, and NOT for assholes to lock down my new device to their RROD shitbox. Using this fucking hardware any goddamn way we see fit, even if it makes no sense, is what I demand. Crack open that fucking thing and fuck Microsoft in their stupid asses with a Sony Move stick!

  20. Re:Hardly any fuss over the democrats? on EPIC Files Lawsuit To Suspend Airport Body Scanner Use · · Score: 1

    You need to get some new news feeds. Although, as we all know, the more intelligent you are the more center your political bias is. You can try Fox News, if you feel there's a liberal bias in the standard new outlets. This place (/.) is more sane than most others and bias is only left because that's how most of the tech industry is. I know this first hand. There are a few executives who still wear the "red tie", but most are fairly non-conservative types, at least how they appear in their job life. This is why Meg spent $140M trying to buy my vote, when I clearly don't want a CEO in charge of more than a crappy web app company. I went with Gov Moonbeam. The lesser of two evils. Being overly conservative makes you look like an uptight jackass. Being overly liberal makes you look like a Birkenstock wearing dirty hippy. Is it any wonder why the first American Terrorists were in fact Christian right-wing conservatives? It was those white guys who showed the Muslims how easy it is to make and set off bombs in our country, every time they blow up an abortion clinic. Christian Conservationism is not at all Christian. Period.
