  1. Re:A system designed by greed... on Is Valve's Steam Anti-Competitive? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow... who would imagine.

    WOW isn't on steam.

  2. Re:So, as someone with the homebrew channel instal on Wii Update 4.2 Tries (and Fails) To Block Homebrew · · Score: 1

    I'm more worried about when they'll force me to upgrade by way of "this game requires the latest system menu update" blah blah. Will my launch date Aus/NZ Wii with Boot2v2 and the forced update mean that I will be bricked? Probably. Quite simple, this is bad. I'm just hoping that Team Twiizers or some other respectable homebrew developer(s) can release something that will sufficiently upgrade one's Boot2 to Boot2v4 so that when it comes to a forced upgrade by way of game DVD it doesn't use Nintendo's shitty upgrade code that (as said in TFA, Summary, etc) would likely brick my Wii.

    I'm glad that Marcan got this on slashdot. I was reading all about this for the last 6 hours :| Had nothing else to do, why not :|

    Excellent. I can finally discard my tinfoil hat for a much more widely accepted solution of having a suitably coloured house.

    So they've managed to swap the emotive responses of using the operating system and seeing the advertisements. Good job Microsoft.

    The Aucklander is the guy driving. Any New Zealander south of the Bombay Hills would refuse to help the Jafa.

    What the article doesn't tell you is that the motorbike was running Linux and the driver was thinking about the best car analogy while he was driving.

    I'm just basing this on random knowledge I have picked up. Never actually seen real lisp code (except maybe wikipedia example lulz).

  10. Re:12 monkeys on Aussie Data Centres Brace For Dust Storm Barrage · · Score: 1

    Test to see if one is worthy to survive the Human Culling:

    Take a large quantity of the very dangerous liquid, DHMO. Have a Liquid DHMO - (80%) Nitrogen Gas boundary in a chamber. The person taking the test must pass through the DHMO-Nitrogen boundary and travel between the two safe zones. If any (non major) body part makes contact with, or passes through the boundary layor then it is likely to require amputation. Breathing near the boundary layor is likely to kill. Breathing in the DHMO liquid is likely to kill.

    Shit. I posted to much crap to make this modded funny :(

    Dust storms caused by draught, draught caused by the overusing the rivers and lakes for crop irrigation and drinking water. The next (world?) war will be for water. Get your super-soakers ready.

  13. Re:Summary of /. Reaction to Proposal on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 1

    To continue with your car analogy, the switch to the ribbon is like switching a car to a joystick... It might be more intuitive for younger people (who play too much Xbox), but it isn't necessarily the best tool for the job.

    Men In Black 2, the hyper speed control of the car is replaced with a PS2 controller. The brought-back Agent Kay doesn't know how to use it.

    So really:

    properly managed (volunteer) open source projects deal with this appropriately, some do not.

    I say "(volunteer)" because I think I recall some open source projects having only certain contributors, as opposed to anyone.
