    no, THIS IS SPARTA

  2. Re:openoffice base blows chunks on OpenOffice Five Times As Popular As Google Docs · · Score: 1

    I think they changed that in Oo.o 3

  3. Re:Did they ask the right question? on OpenOffice Five Times As Popular As Google Docs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ya really, on my laptop which has a modest 1.8 ghz celeron M and 2 gb of ram, OO.o takes at most 10 seconds to start but it usually takes around 5 seconds

  4. Re:All doubts are gone on Politician Forces German Wikipedia Off the Net · · Score: 1, Funny

    People may have doubted whether a former DDR Stasi employee would reform or continue with old ways of treating the public. Now all questions about this particular thug have evaporated.

    Dance Dance Revolution?

    I think that it is sad that people are such cowards that having their prescription histories made public would worry them.

    It isn't about cowardice. It's about not wanting your employer to maybe fire you because you have an AZT prescription or are on chemotherapy or are on medicine for ADD/ADHD and have a job working with million dollar custom surface-mount circuitry or are a neurosurgeon.

    why would your employer fire you if you have one of those diseases when you are doing a good job?, I don't see why a competent employer would fire its best employees just because they have a disease

  6. Re:Hey kids on Irish Gov't Seeks To Rein In Cyber Bullying · · Score: 1

    I know eh?, its not like you can't turn the damn device off or anything either.I have never understood cyber bullying because unlike in real life, there is a giant ignore button and/or you can leave the website on which this is happening. What a frightening new concept!

  7. Re:Answer: no on How Long Should an Open Source Project Support Users? · · Score: 1

    It would probably cost less then paying for support from a proprietary solution. I think its better then the alternative that a proprietary solution could go belly up and you would _have_ to switch to a different product

  8. Re:Answer: no on How Long Should an Open Source Project Support Users? · · Score: 0

    the thing is, since the source is available, then a business can just hire someone to work on it. If a proprietary solution became unsupported then you are SOL

  12. Re:At last! on Creative GPLs X-Fi Sound Card Driver Code · · Score: 1

    But for 98% of the population, they don't *want* to touch that. They want their OS to work. They want it to install smoothly, have the drivers, have easy to install programs (which even ubuntu struggles with), and work. They don't want to have to get into the guts of the OS. .

    How is it hard to go to add/remove programs and click install?

  13. Re:Advantages to Censorship on Australian Censorship Bypassed Before Live Trials · · Score: 1

    As an Australian who fervently opposes Chairman Rudd's censorship bill...

    I'm Australian too and I'm getting increasingly annoyed with Rudd. I find the man to be less than genuine

  14. Re:code from scratch on Reuse Code Or Code It Yourself? · · Score: 1

    I was joking but some ass modded me informative instead of funny which I had a few hours ago

  15. Re:code from scratch on Reuse Code Or Code It Yourself? · · Score: 1

    I was intending to be funny. Couldn't you just compile it with -fno-exceptions to not have exceptions in C++? I also don't really understand why Google wouldn't allow exceptions at all because exceptions are pretty useful

  16. Re:code from scratch on Reuse Code Or Code It Yourself? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I write my own implementation of the c standard library and the C++ standard library too, because I find they are not efficient enough and I find using the standard libraries bite me in the ass too

    How do they get away with that then?, a gigabyte is definably not worth $10,000

    $10,000 per gigabyte?, I highly doubt that, I think you are missing a decimal somewhere because that seems really ridiculous
