  1. Re:personal carbon credits on Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off · · Score: 1

    They're a way of making big bucks out of stupid people. Pure and simple.

    If people really wanted to help the environment, they could stop driving their SUVs instead of purchasing redemption.

    Thank you for making yourself look like a prick, and an idiotic one at that.

    Umm... personal carbon credits anyone?

    I used FF 3 since Beta 2 and I barely noticed any groundbreaking differences between them and the final product... Granted, there were a couple of loose ends, but not *THIS* terrible. This is evidently by design.

  6. Re:No they didn't on Microsoft Patents "Pg Up" and "Pg Dn" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're right, it's not exactly the same. Still, the difference is ludicrous, and getting a patent for this would make a very sad joke.

    Which minus the legal lingo, is equally stupid. Page Up/Down does the same in most document-viewing applications.

    Yes, I'm aware of that argument. I give it no credence. The effort was still expended and the workman should be compensated if you wish to avail yourself of his work.

    What? No credence? Don't you think something that takes you absolutely nothing to reproduce should have a radically different approach when rewarding their creators?

    I agree, the creators must be rewarded--but they definitely do not have the right to treat information the same way as you would treat physical property, because they're not the same things.

    But software allows the creator to effortlessly produce a million copies of it. Kind of different from a workman who has to build a million houses if he wants to achieve the same effect.

    Actually, it's per and the GGP's mother language was Latin-derived (probably Spanish).

    But real needs have no place in the "free" market, do they?

    Of course not. We must keep spending what little we can gather on the false needs created by those in power.

    Whoever modded this down needs to look up on the difference between communism and capitalism, and the difference between an economic system and a political system.

    Oh God, I can't believe he's making even MORE fake sockpuppets. If I'm not mistaken he had wileyhill already, and now he's going as far as to exploit non-serif fonts... lol, what an idiot. And me for falling for it.

    The Russian is also unsurprising, as most Linux zealots are hardcore Marxist-Leninists.

    Wow, you're just as much of an asshole as twitter himself.

    Umm, and what's the problem with integrating the functionality of the history bar into the regular address bar?

    I personally always hated having to even open the history sidebar just to look for a page I visited ONCE whose address I can't remember. The new bar has been a godsend for these kinds of things.
