  1. Re:A Douglas Adams quote comes to mind on Fermilab To Test Holographic Universe Theory · · Score: 1

    Exactly, maybe there is an explanation for everything but we're just not smart enough. It may be a few IQ points or a whole new level of intelligence, either way, we cannot tell.

    If they get good enough at finding malware, malware writers will have no choice but build custom targeted attacks that work against them.

  3. Re:Too small.... on The World's Smallest Full HD Display · · Score: 1

    Other problems that occur are simple wiring/connection problems. You'd need to connect 9000 horizontal and 5000 vertical channels. And then manage to synchronize the inner pixels between them by sending the right waveforms in the channels. Just that would be a huge task, requiring a very careful planning of circuitry, and combined with the amount of data you mentioned, a very complex mathematical and physical task. Another problem I'd see with this is power, all those circuits would probably consum a ton of energy.

  4. Re:Wow on WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents · · Score: 1

    Like you said, even Wikileaks probably has an agenda even if they say they're completely unbiased. That's a very good way of thinking: maybe they really are in this business only to help people tell the truth to the world but maybe they also have a preconceived idea about who is lying and who is not which makes them unknowingly biased.

    What I'm trying to say is that yes, you cannot take anything anyone else says as complete truth because everyone has a different view of the world. However you can't just ignore everything and be all "BLA BLA BLA, you're all lying".

    What you must do is understand their view, their world so you can make an educated guess on whether they're lying and find out what is really the truth based on the information you have. Of course you can only know in degrees of probabilty but that usually works ok.

  5. Re:Don't be evil? on Google Is Going Postal In Sweden · · Score: 1

    But the problem is also the handful of people that actually sign up for all the shit on the net. Everytime I log on facebook I spend a few minutes igoring the new applications that 2-3 of my "friends" have found. And it's always the same people. Those guys click on every shiny thing they see.

    That might be true or it might just be that we as humans are so far away from being able to grasp the Universe's true nature and reason that we cannot believe it even has one. Similarly to monkeys or dogs not even thinking about physics or anything rational when they see us do stuff with electricity.

  7. Re:three million on Desktop Linux Is Dead · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But it's the percent of the people who actually come to your site that's important. If you make a site that has about 50000 users per day, taking care of the x% which use opera will yield a low number that doesn't seem important. Yes, if you had visitors from virtually all computers every day (e.g. facebook) you might want to think it as "3million lost users" but that's usually not the case. Not that I'm not advocating against standard compliant sites but you have to realise why some site maintainers don't provide compatibility with a browser.

    Yeah, Apple really is gay/ghey... In more ways than one.

  9. Re:I'm shocked. on Oracle Asks OpenOffice Community Members To Leave · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yes, and I'm saying that the derogatory implication has nothing to do with homosexuals. It's like saying "that shirt is retarded": by saying retarded I'm not implying anything about retarded people, I'm just using the word with a completely different meaning unrelated to them (the retarded people).

    uhm, yeah, I'm actually Romanian. My primary language is Romanian (duh) and I speak English fluently and a tad of French. I still think LibreOffice sounds gay (take that offended commenters above).

  13. Re:I'm shocked. on Oracle Asks OpenOffice Community Members To Leave · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm sorry but "gay" is a word that expresses more than just the sexual preference, it has been like that for a while now. When something is "gay", it might mean it's of bad taste or not very professional. Gay people probably find this offensive but it's not something said intentionally against them (see the episode with fags from Southpark).

    Yeah, it's their right to keep the name, if the open source people really want to prove that open source is better anyway they should just make the fork better and let the market decide. It was also pointed out that the name actually sucks so maybe this is really a good thing, as long as they don't use that gay LibreOffice name.

    They should choose a name with more "zazziness" (Kaching Office, I dunno) or a really simple and straightforward one (like FreeOffice). Libre Office gives an air of smugness like the one that you get from <insert minority here> rights movement, or from vegans and other super ecofriendly people.

  15. Re:SE Stole My Play Time on Square Enix Attempting Final Fantasy XIV Damage Control · · Score: 1

    Blizzard doesn't do that. If you get 30 days from the subscription you keep them even after you cancel it. I used the subscription method because I could pay 30 days at a time (my schedule is variable). And then I'd often cancel weeks in advance because I wasn't sure I could be playing another 30days after the first month and didn't want to forget and have them billing me for nothing.
