  1. Spring? on Spring into HTML and CSS · · Score: 1

    I can dependency-inject my CSS files? Finally!

  2. "Back"? on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've been using http://www.takeouttaxi.com/ for quite a while now.

  3. UWE BOLL! on Halo Script Hawked To Studios · · Score: 2, Funny

    Uwe Boll!
    Uwe Boll!
    Uwe Boll!

  4. Re:Now that China has WoW... on World of Warcraft Battlegrounds, Chinese Launch · · Score: 1

    That's right! We only want American gold farmers selling to Americans!

  5. Re:Pr0n==cheap on RFID Tags for Digital Rights Management · · Score: 1

    Simple. Because someone is willing to pay them that much. Welcome to the world of economics.

  6. Yeah, that's kinda the point on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apparently it is OK to record TV as long as your aren't sharing it. Think you could loosen your grip on the obvious just a little? It's starting to turn a little blue in the face...

  7. Re:If you'll pardon my French on OpenOffice 2.0 Criticized on Use of Java · · Score: 1

    What kind of idiot explicitly uses the com.sun classes? You're not supposed to, and in my many years of Java development, I've never, ever found myself having to.

  8. Re:PoE is a kludge! on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 1
    For more information, a conformant SGML parser can, given the HTML DTD, infer the from the next

    . It was decided that this type of inferencing made parsers too hard to write, so all inferrable closing tags were made required in XML. This makes parsers easier to write, espeically for ad-hoc DTD/Schema-less XML documents.

  9. 100 new quests! on Turbine Expansions And Turnovers · · Score: 2, Funny

    That'll bring the number all the way up to 150!

  10. I love Sarbanes-Oxley on Sarbanes-Oxley - How is it Affecting You? · · Score: 1

    It lets me make all sorts of unreasonable requests of my co-workers, and then tell them it's required for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

  11. Re:Yet another milestone in my Earth Destruction P on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 4, Informative

    "The Hole Man" by Larry Niven.

  12. Troggs, actually. on Blizzard Drops the Hammer on Gold Farmers · · Score: 1

    They're willing to work much cheaper than their dwarvish cousins, and don't demand health benefits (just look at the boils and sores on some of them!)...

  13. Re:Greetings from TSP Hell on Integrating Agile Development · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're just trying to take it easy on those poor Filipino children whose job it is to turn the source code into Java bytecodes.

  14. Re:Rise of software liability on Software Accountability Made Real? · · Score: 1

    That's a good question. I imagine part of it has to do with MS software not directly killing anyone. I still don't know where else failure-to-perform-as-advertised or breach-of-contract or whatever disputes would be settled, *besides* a court. Or arbitration, which amounts to about the same thing.

  15. Re:Rise of software liability on Software Accountability Made Real? · · Score: 1

    ...and the better solution is? Yes, the legal system may suck, but that scenario described in the ancestor post *is* was courts are meant to adjudicate.

  16. Re:Rise of software liability on Software Accountability Made Real? · · Score: 1

    That would be, I believe, the point of a court of law.

  17. [OT] on Nintendo Warns MMO Company Over Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    Since simoniker didn't post this himself, does that mean he's been shit-canned as editor? If anyone were to have posted any of my troll stories, I figured it would been him.

  18. Re:First Post! on Apple Backing Away From FireWire · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apple *was* spending a lot of money licensing the FireWire name from...you know...that company that has the rights to the FireWire name.

  19. Re:Imagery on Apple Backing Away From FireWire · · Score: 1

    No.

  20. Re:World of Warcraft on l33tspeak For Parents By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Because they're crafty like that.

    Like the time I was in the Arathi Highlands and said "Hmm...Hammerfall...that sounds like a good dwarven town I should check out..."

    (Hammerfall is actually a Horde outpost.)

  21. Re:how about public key authentication? on MS Employee Calls for No More Passwords · · Score: 1

    Its been repeated on here. Something you have and something you know. The USB token is easy enough to steal. You'll still want to have a passphrase to decrypt your key on the token.

  22. Re:Sure, The Onion has to pay its bills... on Grand Theft Auto: Myst · · Score: 1

    Hah. Crap. Two video game articles on two sites I regularly read. Bah.

  23. Re:open source under-cuts? on Open Source is Not a Career Path · · Score: 2, Funny

    Eclipse didn't just emerge fully formed from some random Open Source developers. IBM paid a lot of people a lot of money to develop Eclipse.

  24. Re:Article Text on Grand Theft Auto: Myst · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Shouldn't this get a -1, Intellectual Property Misuse? The Onion *does* have bills to pay, you know.

  25. Re:Book to movie? on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Screening Reviews · · Score: 1

    Requiem for a Dream. Aronofsky's visual style and Clint Mansell's music were brilliant.
