    That was the MOST USELESS list of internet acronyms I have ever seen.

    I'd like to buy one. Will they ship out of state?

    100K$ - 500K$... Not to mention you have to provide a "business model" and um... show technical capacity to run a TLD. Which makes this more of a money grab before the rest of the world wrests control of the net from ICANN.

    OK, Nevermind then. Apparenly there is already a tiny amount of caffeine in chocolate. Approximately 1/10th an 8oz (tiny) cup of coffee's worth in an entire chocolate bar.

    Then in that case, I'd just want well.. MORE!

    Thanks for being such an informative asshole.

    Caffeine and Chocolate are supposed to be very similar in chemical construction. I would really like to see a single plant that could make both. You know, like those chocolate covered coffee beans, only... actually tasty... Oh ya, and find some way to minimize the sugar and fat needed to make it slightly less bad for you.

    You might be interested in this domain I have just registered, Gewalt.sucks . If you are, you can purchase it for the low, low price of $Yoursoul. Buy it? Hell no, I don't want to buy it! I want to subscribe to its mailing list!
  9. Apple on Ask Jeremy White and Alexandre Julliard About the Future of WINE · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Has anyone from WINE engaged apple to see about getting wine better ported and available to OSX users? I am currently using parallels to support my win32 needs under OSX, but that is all. I do not like the idea of having to pay FRP for a full windows OS when all I want to do is run win32 apps. I think it would be awesome to see WINE shipping directly in 10.7, with support from apple.

    I use it, but overall, I am not impressed. Part of the un-impressiveness of it is my own fault. I "clear private data" after every pron session. So the awesomebar never has much int he way of relevant history to go by. If only FF had a "Private Browsing" mode like safari does...

    If they register the TLD then they will become the registrar. If you want to get a domain on that TLD then you will have to go through them.

    Take a lesson from the idiots. Many times I have seen /.r's mocking end users for using the search feature on their homepage to get to another website, instead of using the address bar. I don't find that feature idiotic at all, and I use that behavior myself. The more and more TLDs we get, the more convenient this "feature" of a modern homepage becomes. And don't moan about have to use the mouse to click the first entry, most users would have had to use the mouse to even put the cursor in the address bar anyways, not to mention click the mouse a predetermined number of times between 1 and 3 just to be able to start tying a random URL.

    We are long overdue for a .sucks domain. It will be nice to finally have it.

  14. Re:(Troll) I hate java, why does /. love it? on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Technical point: if you really want insight, you're not a troll. Yes, this is true, but if I had asked the question in a different manner (ac+troll warning), I would have been modded down for troll anyways, and I actually did care.

    You are right, of course, that I am not a programmer. At least not quite. I have written more code than the average business employee, but I a actually work on the business side of systems implementations, and only resort to coding when a coder is making a mis-understanding in the implementations of the business logic that was decided upon. In that regard, I am very much platform/language agnostic.

  18. Re:Maybe it was the same collision on Mars Had an Ancient Impact Like Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Well, considering the earth is actually very liquid and quite soft inside (and uh.. I "think" mars is as well), I have a hard time believing that the two celestial bodies would have had an elastic collision. Unless they were coming from very opposite directions and just barely nicked each other, they should have become one.

    Now I wonder tho... just how close would they have to come to each other in order to have mingling gravity completely tear apart the surface of each... Mayhaps a collision isn't necessary after all.

    I was in the military, and I got out with a good conduct discharge after my 6 year enlistment because I did not support our operations in Iraq, and was not willing to participate in them.

    That's not flamebait at all. Soldiers are TRAINED to not think for themsleves from the minute they get to bootcamp until they reach their MOS. The only way to get someone to do something that will likely get them killed is to get them to stop thinking about the ramifications of their actions. You have to literally turn off their critical thinking skills if you want to be able to sacrifice them on the battlefield. And yes, you do have to be able to sacrifice a few soldiers.
