  2. Re:Whatever you do, don't on Judge Tentatively Dismisses Case Against Lori Drew · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can take it. I've read some youtube comments and lost all faith in humanity already.

  3. Re:Why do the vendors have a say? on Browser Vendors Force W3C To Scrap HTML 5 Codecs · · Score: 0, Troll

    Who cares what apple, google and opera think anyway. They have tiny browser shares.
    Microsoft can simply be trusted to do the wrong thing. Whatever is worst for everyone but themselves.
    That leaves firefox who have the largest consolidated browser share, (IE 6, 7 and 8 are so wildly incompatible they are best treated as 3 separate competing browsers).

    Mozilla. Do the right thing!

  4. Didn't know what Zango was on Safe Harbor Spells Win For Kaspersky In Malware Case Against Zango · · Score: 5, Informative

    So I looked it up:

    Zango, formerly ePIPO, 180solutions and Hotbar

    Oh look, they've had four different names, because they have to keep running away from how scummy they are.
    KILL IT WITH FIRE!

  5. Re:Summary?! on Malcolm Gladwell Challenges the Idea of "Free" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Editor, n: a perl script used to push a slashdot article to the frontpage "as is" or with random perturbations.

    kdawson.pl is widely acknowledged as the buggiest and least effective of these script.

  6. Re:China on Sony Begins Shipping PCs With Green Dam In China · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Though I didn't say impose it upon people by force.

    In short I'm just saying that "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."

  7. Re:China on Sony Begins Shipping PCs With Green Dam In China · · Score: 3, Funny

    Our notions of freedom and democracy are right for the rest of the world, because they are best for the individual people of this world.
    Whether they know it or not.

    Take North Korea for example. You probably know that the general population believe, that the outside world is a nightmare of poverty, war and starvation.
    Those who have managed to escape in desperation over the border into China, see the piles of rice sacks and fruit on the street and are like, "WTF! We've been F'ing lied to all our lives!"

    The blueprint of any society, good parts and bad, is in the minds of the people living in it.

  9. Re:Hundred Millions or Hundred Thousands? on China Bans Gold Farming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Get with the time. Now there is a massive Chinese middle class that have more than enough food, and are trying to figure out what to spend their money on.

  10. Re:Pile'o'poop article on The Internet Helps Iran Silence Activists · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok, so I didn't read the summary at all, opened and skimmed the articles in separate tabs, and also caught the tag godwin out of the corner of my eye, which of course refers to nazi Germany. But it was peripheral to my point really.
    I'm not even American, but nice stereotype, given that this site has a very wide readership.

    Your post has elements of flamebait, troll and offtopic, so it will be interesting to see which way it goes.

  11. Pile'o'poop article on The Internet Helps Iran Silence Activists · · Score: 0

    If you have access to a computer, a net connect, and encryption then you have a better tool for communication than in any other era. Comparisons with Nazi Germany be damned.
    If you don't have one of the above, you have much bigger problems to worry about than YRO.

    Bolivia is suspected to have substantial stocks of WMDs; especially under Salar de Uyuni

  13. Re:Coder's block on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 1

    You still get the usual error referencing the line adjacent to the one you missed off the semicolon.
    Bad example I think.

  14. Drink beer on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Drink enough beer and you will wake up with the project completely finished.
    You won't remember how, plus there might be some residual traffic cones and hookers in your office.

  15. Re:Does anyone actually buy windows? on Microsoft Discloses Windows 7 Pricing · · Score: 5, Funny

    I downloaded XP, off edonkey2000, over a 56k modem.
    Though I didn't buy it, I feel I earned it.

    That was before I went to university, and found they had free student licences anyway.

  16. Re:Please come to the local station on China Starts/Stops Blocking Google · · Score: 4, Informative

    You're correct.

    A Chinese passport says "People's republic of China" (PRC), and a Taiwanese passport says "Republic of China" (ROC)
    Supermarkets in China will often have imported goods under the label "Chinese Taiwan"

    Let's leave the details for diplomats, our government overlords, and deranged Chinese nationalists to squabble over.

    I wouldn't like either of these earthing though me.

    Knowing the basics allows you to avoid pseudo-science without effort.
