  1. Re:Let me get this straight on Is the CodePlex Foundation Truly Independent Now? · · Score: 1

    Or, as a car analogy: MS/Windows is a car, and the OSS world is other cars. CodePlex is a roofbox on the MS/Win car.

    Not really. C# is a language like any other - it's just the best known implementation is for .NET. If you wanted to, you could write a C# compiler that uses precisely zero .NET, and it'd still be a compiler for C#.

    Plus C# is used for Mono and GTK#, neither of which are .NET. Mono implements the same stuff true, but it's not .NET.

    There's one problem with that - it requires thinking.

  4. Re:Interstitial ad on New Hotmail Integrates Office Features · · Score: 1

    A-Patch is actually one of the better tools - it's been going for a good few years now.

  5. Re:Oh Sure on How To Grow a Head · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is it just me, or does everyone read that in Farnsworth's voice?

  6. Re:fox? are you sure? on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    They cancelled Family Guy. Twice. Then brought it back because enough people bought it on DVD.

  7. Damn redirect! on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    Is there a version of this link (http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878) that doesn't redirect UK viewers to the UK website, where the article isn't visible?

  8. I don't know about you... on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...but the thing I want answered in '201' more than anything else is, who really is Cartman's father? What's this about some guy in a bear costume?

  9. Re:Maxwell demon on MIT Scientists Make a Polyethylene Heatsink · · Score: 1

    Good point :)

  10. Re:Maxwell demon on MIT Scientists Make a Polyethylene Heatsink · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While it's not the same technology, wouldn't a Peltier device achieve that?

  11. Re:Awesome on MIT Scientists Make a Polyethylene Heatsink · · Score: 3, Funny

    Milk or dark?

  12. Re:Can't it degrade over time? on MIT Scientists Make a Polyethylene Heatsink · · Score: 1

    In theory, it would expand and contract mostly along the length of the fibres, meaning the wear rate would be much lower. Then again, IANAMS (I am not a materials scientist)

  13. Re:LATVIA? AND SOMEONE NOTICED ?? on Possible Meteorite Leaves a Crater In Latvia · · Score: 2, Informative

    2.2 million of them in July this year, according to Wikipedia.

  14. Re:So... where's the object? on Possible Meteorite Leaves a Crater In Latvia · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine, it it was a meteorite, that it's still there, just pulverised into fine dust by the impact.

    Or someone took it home with them ;)

    Well I would go with Betty, but I'd be thinking of Wilma...

  18. Re:Stupid, short-sighted decision on Microsoft, EU Reach Antitrust Accord · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it's the first step towards that ultimate goal. Since MS have had to offer this ballot screen for browsers, other companies in other markets may push for the same e.g. Nullsoft pushing for a media player ballot screen.

  19. Badware? on Digsby IM Client Quietly Installs Badware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know in computing it's fashionable to make up words, but badware? That's just crap. Besides, there's already a suitable word: malware.

  20. Re:Bullshit summary on XHTML 2 Cancelled · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't be an XML serialisation if it wasn't XML compatible.

  21. Re:XHTML merged on XHTML 2 Cancelled · · Score: 5, Informative

    They should have XMLized HTML in the first place.

    They did. It's called XHTML.

    Unless you mean XML-ise HTML 3.2 or earlier, but I believe XML didn't exist back then.

    Combined Internet device/shortwave radio?

    Either way, this should do the trick for now: 1. Shut off water main. 2. Drain system by opening all taps. 3. Open all windows. 4. ??? 5. Profit! (By not being blown up)

    Would that be a good EULA?
