    How about we just make everyone collect signatures, including the top two parties?

  2. Re:Predictable, Really. on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    They know, and you should too since you've likely agreed to the same TOS for other Google services. It wasn't a problem then, it shouldn't be a problem now.

    Can I call myself traveler of the basements if I've never left my mother's?

    They are both cell shaded.

    BF Heroes is to TF2 as Futurama is to Mickey Mouse.

    I thought I was probably missing something fundemental.

    A plot. That's what was missing.

  11. Effective Authentication? on Open Wi-Fi May Become Illegal In India · · Score: 1

    Either they have a different definition of "effective authentication", or they're essentially banning WiFi.

    We're not speaking Greek, either.

  13. Re:Why is parent insightful? on Copyright Board Lawyer Responds On Pandora's End · · Score: 1

    I think you're confused over what Pandora does. It doesn't find you music people like you liked, it find music that is like a certain band or artist or belongs to a certain genre and mixes of all of those. I can tell it to play Ska bands, and Ska bands that sound like The Specials, and get a mix of ska bands mostly consisting of 2 Tone Ska. It doesn't find you music other people with your tastes liked. It shows you your favorite bands' or songs' influences and those influenced by them. This is a great way to find stuff you'll like, but unless it sounds like something you're searching for, you won't find it. Searching for Sublime won't get you Matisyahu.

  15. Re:What's the frame rate and resolution? on Unholy Matrimony? Microsoft and Cray · · Score: 2, Informative

    Once you throw that much hardware at a piece of software, efficiency of the OS is kind of moot.

    Masturbatory is the correct spelling.

  17. Re:Predictable, Really. on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    What if I also want to use Linux applications, like most Linux users? There are a hell of a lot more Windows apps that work on Linux than not, and a hell of a lot more than Linux apps that work on Windows.

    What part of Universal EULA don't people understand? It's the same EULA they use for everything. It's a manufactured controversy.

  19. Re:Bull fucking shit on Ford's 65MPG Due In November, But Not In the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So don't use corn. Or use the oil for cooking, then transesterise it. That's generally what biodiesel is made from: yellow grease. Besides, if corn is more valuable as a fuel than food, it WILL be used as fuel. There's no point in wringing your hands over it. It's the way markets work. Nobody is going to forgo the profit without laws making them. Even then, you're going to see a lot of smuggling going on as fuel prices, and thus vegetable oil and ethanol prices, skyrocket. At best such a law will make them switch to another crop that has a better oil yield, at worst you'll force the market underground.

  20. Re:That's pretty damning for the CIA and Bush admi on 10 Years of Translated Bin Laden Messages Leaked · · Score: 1

    So you're actually blaming Bush for suspecting that someone who executed something like the halabja campaign might actually ... have lied.

    After a decade of inspectors crawling all over Iraq saying there are no WMD? Yeah.

    I might get sued, but I'd win. I'd just show the court that it passed inspection.

  23. Re:Now we know who's been Bogarting the Sativa on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    Sativa produced higher yields? No. It has a much longer internodal length resulting in ligher, wispy buds. Also Sativa has a higher ratio of THC to CBD. Indica has a low ratio. That's why Indica makes it hard to get up off the couch, while Sativa can actually be uplifting.

  24. Re:The Application Form is a CIA intelligence jog on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    It's only standard for jobs that come with health/life insurance. I doubt the Best Buy Windows Guru has health coverage.

  25. Re:tbonefrog on NASA Developing Small Nuclear Reactor For the Moon · · Score: 1

    Most reactors are enclosed, especially the underground ones. And if static charges worked, they'd have used that on Apollo. The fact they didn't makes me think there was a problem with that approach.
