  1. Seeker on Earth-Like Planet That Could Sustain Life Found · · Score: 1

    Anyone read Seeker by Jack McDevitt? Reminds me of the planet discovered in the end that was tidally locked and the civilization there never really develop astronomy as they couldn't see the stars (always daylight).

  2. Re:I feel sorry for the Bulgarians on How To Kill an Open Source Project With New Funding · · Score: 1

    You know exactly what I was talking about. We can argue about this forever.
    You are a douchebag, nonetheless.
    Just stay wherever you are, because if you go back to Bulgaria, the evil bulgarians will steal your stuff and beat you with sticks.

    It's funny because I was actually curious if anyone would take the topic in the direction of blaming it on the country.
    That would not make sense since the topic was about some not-so-good open-source software that is now being developed by someone else and might become closed-source.
    The country that will be developing the new piece of software doesn't really matter. It could be Japan (for example) and it still won't change the point of the article.
    I noticed that fact even before I took a look at the article itself, so I was really curious to see what people would say about Bulgaria. First 20-30 comments didn't have anything about the country. Some comments below I found funny (like the one stating it would be humorous if they changed the name slightly so it matches "Sofiya".
    And then your comment:

    Izvinjavajte mnogo, no vie kakvo mislite che znaete za Bulgaria? Vie Bulgari li ste? Zhiveete li tam?

    Which translates to:

    "I'm very sorry but what do you think you know about Bulgaria? Are you bulgarian? Do you live there?"

    Now, you're trying to impose your self-proclaimed expert opinion on the Anonymous Coward (and to the people reading this post) that basically says that Bulgaria is, essentially, full of shit.
    Why?
    What does this have to do with the article?
    It's not that bad in Bulgaria at all.
    People steal? - So what? Parks are being sold out to foreigners! blabla...
    That must mean the bulgarian company that was given money to develop software are all scammers because they are trying to actually make some profit?
    Those bastards...

    Funniest thing is... It was a Bulgarian (n dot i) who posted the first negative comment about Bulgaria on this page. You know nothing about the company and its intentions but you can't help it but speculate.

  6. Newsflash on Virtual Reality Cocoon Being Designed · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can't see it on the picture but it has a little opening on the side where the food comes from.
    I also heard it's designed to project war videos and play Beethoven.

    And yes, it will run the new HP Linux.

  10. Not only in Cali on Microsoft Opposing California Open Doc Bill · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apparently, it happened in Florida also. State Representative Ed Homan added the use of open standards to a bill in state senate. A day later, he was visited by three people from Microsoft. The bill about the open standards was rejected. http://uf.freeculture.org/2007/04/01/legislature-2 007-state-of-florida-it/
