  1. Re:One pixel wide window borders on Xfce Getting a New Version Soon · · Score: 0

    Xfce is for those people who think Windows 95 is the pinnacle of user interfaces. It's fine for a OS-in-a-USB-drive kind of thing but that's it. No redeeming features other than "it's better than Gnome 3"

  2. Re:I thought new CEO was a force for positive chan on Microsoft To Invest In Rogue Android Startup Cyanogen · · Score: 1

    I don't know man, I like this one. I'm also on board if MS decides to invest in ad-blocking software.

  3. Re:For the money I saved with Liber Office on LibreOffice Gets a Streamlined Makeover With 4.4 Release · · Score: 2

    Was she a fine bitch or one of those crackwhores you can get for a dime?

  4. Re:Native UI conventions...? on LibreOffice Gets a Streamlined Makeover With 4.4 Release · · Score: 1

    I agree. It saddens me a little bit that even Microsoft seems to be ditching Win32.

  5. Re:The MPAA and RIAA appluad this good work on Brain Implants Get Brainier · · Score: 1

    You're preaching to the choir and you are also exaggerating.

    They will charge you when you decide to listen to something, not when you hear or see it.

  6. Re:What's wrong with emacs and make ? on Google Releases Android Studio 1.0, the First Stable Version of Its IDE · · Score: 1

    How can "bloated" be a thing in 2014? Do you program on a Commodore Amiga or what?

  7. How did it work without a CPU? on Ralph H. Baer, a Father of Video Gaming, Dies At 92 · · Score: 1

    OK, so I don't know much about logic gates and stuff but I still can't understand how can you create a video game console without a CPU. Apparently the Magnavox Odyssey was a pure analog console. How can you achieve such a thing?

  8. Re:Joyent unfit to lead them? on Node.js Forked By Top Contributors · · Score: 0

    OMG I'm already feeling OPPRESSED! Damned patriarchy!

  9. Re:.wav on Windows 10 To Feature Native Support For MKV and FLAC · · Score: 1

    Sure, that's why you would use FLAC if you want to keep perfect audio. Also, the shittiness of MP3 is largely dependant on the encoder. Get the latest version, rip to 320 kbps MP3 and it will most definitely not sound like shit.

  10. Re:FLAC? on Windows 10 To Feature Native Support For MKV and FLAC · · Score: 1

    There's absolutely no reason at all you should use .wav. MP3 is fine due to a myriad of compatibility-related reasons.

    FLAC is not new, it's a lossless format, meaning, it compresses audio but you don't lose quality in the process.

  11. Re:OK then. on The Schizophrenic Programmer Who Built an OS To Talk To God · · Score: 1

    A single dimension (or 0th?) is the simplest one. It doesn't mean it's the most sensible or useful one. It's very hard to find the balance between simplicity and utility, and 640x480x16 seems to be the sweet spot according to God.

  12. Re:Nintendo DS on The Nintendo DS Turns 10 · · Score: 0

    I enjoy that kind of shit, because it provides value you fucking open sauce faggots won't ever deliver in millenia.

  13. Re:Sounds like what Sun did on Microsoft To Open Source .NET and Take It Cross-Platform · · Score: 1

    Is the new free version still worthless?

  14. Re:Because women aren't stupid? on Solving the Mystery of Declining Female CS Enrollment · · Score: 1

    I have, but there's a lack of smart people and firing all the shitty programmers doesn't seem to be a solution, seeing as there's still a lot of demand for programmers, even those who inflict strokes on the good ones when they take a look at the mediocres' code.

    What would you suggest? Your course of action is akin to those of revolutionary anarchists in regards to dealing with government. Setting governments on fire and making mediocre programmers redundant are both solutions that could work -theoretically at least- but are completely impractical. I'm not sure the solution can come from academia, by the way.

  15. Re:Because women aren't stupid? on Solving the Mystery of Declining Female CS Enrollment · · Score: 1

    I know you're trolling, but nobody wants to work at McDonald's, even if they don't have passion. It's the job of passionate and capable programmers to create adequate templates and frameworks that reduce the damage done by shitty programmers.

  16. Re:Because women aren't stupid? on Solving the Mystery of Declining Female CS Enrollment · · Score: 1

    People without passion also need a job.

  19. Re:How badly coded are Windows applications? on Possible Reason Behind Version Hop to Windows 10: Compatibility · · Score: 1

    Windows 97 was the nickname for Windows 95 OSR2

  20. Re:No 9? on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    Yup, it's the Chinese reading. I don't know much Chinese but it seems 4 is also a homonym with death (si4 if I'm not mistaken).
    Also, the reading for death in Japanese (shi) came from Chinese, it's the on-yomi. So yeah, it's more of a China thing.

  21. Re:No 9? on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Windows 7 is "uindouzu sebun" (seven) in Japanese, and not "nana" or "shichi." Same goes for 8 (eito instead of "hachi"), So 9 would've been "uindouzu nain" and not "ku."

    Just kidding, I know you can't seriously answer this. I wish you could, though.

  24. Re:Seems to be working really well... on UK Police Warn Sharing James Foley Killing Video Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    This is coming from someone who doesn't follow all this stuff, so I'm not being completely sarcastic, but hasn't Obama called Seal Team 6 a million times already? What makes it different this time? What makes the US think they will win this war?

    Propaganda is to get people talking about this, doesn't matter if it's good or bad talk. And I think they're succeeding. BTW, are they using Final Cut to edit these videos? For some reason I find that hilarious.

  25. Re:Seems to be working really well... on UK Police Warn Sharing James Foley Killing Video Is a Crime · · Score: 2

    Wow. I mean, it's not the most graphic (as in gore) video I've seen but damn if this isn't awesome propaganda for "the terrorists."

    I think the US still thinks it's fighting against "sand niggers" and doesn't realize the true scope of what they're fighting against. I'm also surprised at their English proficiency and quality of video-editing.
