  1. Re:Just privatize it... on USPS To Launch Line of Smart Clothing · · Score: 1

    He's a member of the libertarian religion - see his signature.

  2. Re:Any optical drive at all? on Sony Announces the PS4 · · Score: 1

    Early hw-compatible PS3s were quite expensive, yes; I think around $500 to $600 but people still bought them.

  3. Re:Any optical drive at all? on Sony Announces the PS4 · · Score: 1

    First-gen PS3s had a complete PS2 CPU included for backwards compatibility. Later they went to software emulation and then dropped it entirely.

    If they bother with back-compatibility they'll go the hardware route.

    Heh, yeah. FF19's installer is much larger than the entire old Mozilla suite that it replaced, and is just as large as the current version of Seamonkey.

    Yes? The racists fled the Democrats right after.

    Libertarians in general can be astonishingly self-deluded. Not only can they claim to be the only rational choice (ignoring that this is true only if you accept their emotionally-chosen givens, like "coercion is always bad"), but they all seem to be under the impression that they're self-made, ignoring all the advantages that civilization gave them.

    Well said.

    In ancient history, fuckwit. The racists all moved over to the Republican Party (who greeted them and their votes with open arms) once Johnson pushed through the civil rights and voting rights acts in the '60s.

    Because then they'd have poor niggers with guns, and the NRA is mostly WASPy.

    Anarchism is the fear of other people telling you what to do.

    You. Stop with the random CAPS to show EMPHASIS. It makes your post hard to read.

  12. Re:Do not want on GNU Texinfo 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Naturally. I wouldn't necessarily restrict it to just lynx, though; there are at least two other families of decent ncurses browsers (links, w3m) and they can handle complex pages better.

  13. Re:Bag bans are foolish feel-goodism on Are Plastic Bag Bans Making People Sick? · · Score: 1

    Right, let's ignore all the easy stuff that makes small differences and concentrate on doing hard things that will take a long time to see any effect.

    Right, and it's a lot nicer to read complex documentation through your web browser than through some clunky ncurses utility.

  16. Re:Do not want on GNU Texinfo 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    The format exists because of the reader. It has no particular practical advantages vs. HTML so there's no reason for either.

  17. Re:Do not want on GNU Texinfo 5.0 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Agreed. The worst is when a package has a half-assed manpage that points to the info documentation, and when you fire up info it's the exact same stuff as the manpage.

    Texinfo should be retired in favor of HTML for when there's too much documentation for a man page.

  18. Re:The Problem... on The US Redrawn As 50 Equally Populated States · · Score: 1

    Indeed. My first reaction to the map was "oh gods, we got stuck with the Oklahomans". Southwest Missouri is a conservative shithole already, but at least it's not quite so bad as Oklahoma.

    You're not denying you're an idiot, so there's some faint hope for you.

    You're thinking of an entirely different libertarian stereotype. In my experience the bible thumpers are perfectly happy to have a government big enough to fit into your bedroom and a woman's vagina. The real stereotype is the anarcho-capitalist loon whose religious faith is placed in the Free Market (peace be upon it).

  23. Re:what do you teach? on Missouri Legislation Redefines Science, Pushes Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    The Brits kicked out the Puritans because the Puritans believed in the wrong superstitious nonsense, and it was a time when patriotic citiz^Wsubjects were expected to practice the monarch's religion, so any dissenters were seen as subversives.

    Don't confuse libertarians with facts. It only wastes your time and annoys the libertarian.
