  1. Re:Unenforceable? on 4 UK Urban Explorers Face Orders Not To Talk With Each Other For 10 Years · · Score: 1

    If I received such an order I'd just go Ghostrider on their asses. No plates, flee when the cops see you.

    Especially to those who don't own thousands of pieces of land.

    That's why they should have saved the installer so they could remove the latest version and install the previous one.

    Oh, wait...

  5. It wasn't bad enough already? on RapidShare Fighting Piracy By Slowing Download Speeds · · Score: 1

    Wow, this on top of how shitty Rapidshare already was? At this point they could only make it worse by forcing you to enter a CAPTCHA presented in the form of one of those "stare to see the letters" puzzles, shown right in the middle of goatse's anus.

    Why people ever used services like Rapidshare and Megaupload, I'll never understand.

  6. Re:"Patients and Physicians" on "Open Source" Drug Development Company Launched · · Score: 1

    I'm sure all the people dying in the third world would like to take their chances with a drug designed by less prestigious (or even less qualified) people than to receive none at all and die.

    I know you won't quite hit 14, but 12.5 isn't far off. Consider that those daylight hours include any time that the sun is peeking over the horizon.

    No, near the poles you get extended continuous times of sunlight and daylight (up to a 6-month split right at the poles). Near the equator you get roughly half-sunlight and half-daylight each day all year round.

  10. Re:Or simply, sleep when you're tired on Interrupted Sleep Might Be the Best Kind · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Especially active at the equator?

    At the equator there are 3 simple rules in life:

    1. Dress light but keep your legs covered

    2. Be as inactive as possible

    3. Avoid the sun.

    Unemployed people.

    Enjoy every minute of your "employment gap" 'cuz it's coming out of your career prospects.

    Wait until sleep-substitute drugs become available (they've been in testing for the last decade). The market will readjust to the new availability of labor and you'll have to work 18 hours a day to get the same pay (just as markets readjusted when women entered the workforce).

    Having two children is the hardest thing in the world by leaps and bounds.

    I'm sure people with 3 kids would disagree :-P

    Why was this modded down? I agree with the parent that all Canadians should pirate rampantly and remorselessly as long as they are paying media levies. Do not buy shit. Pirate it all until the levy is removed.

    Oh so you just haven't used FOSS apps in a long time. I'll agree that it was impossible to get a full suite of high-quality FOSS apps until the mid/late 2000s. My Year of the Linux Desktop was 2007, and I was running Linux on everything but my gaming PC the next year.

    How is the example of [what you believe to be] a bad UI evidence that following a good vision is a bad thing.

    But lets face it there aren't (m)any examples of good OSS UIs.

    I think you just proved my point. People have a different idea of what's good or bad, so a "shared vision" would ruin everything for everyone but the minority who thinks it's good. Allowing people to mix and match freely allows customization to suit any taste.

    Remember: Bricked = Failed and unrepairable.

    Ah those were the good ol' days, when that was the definition. Nowadays anything that prevents a device from starting is considered a "brick" condition by the clueless masses. OS bootloader missing? Bricked. Car has a bad starter motor? Bricked. Firmware update on your phone failed and now you have to - OH NOES - plug it into a PC to reflash the device? Bricked.
