  1. Sedentary Jobs? on NY Bill Proposes Fat Tax On Games, DVDs, Junk Food · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What about other sedentary activities like lawmakers who sit around thinking up this crap?

    On a more serious note, what about sedentary jobs? What about stress? If you apply the same logic to all activities then people would have to pay to be air traffic controllers.

  4. Re:Web "applications" on Universal Design for Web Applications · · Score: 5, Funny

    This should have been a one page book reading : "DON'T".

    Webapps are the most evil thing that has happened to software development in the last decade.

    AJAX, Silverlight, JScript are all 1990s state of the art technologies that accomplish nothing new in terms of innovation or functionality.

    The resulting applications bring nothing new to the table and are bloated and unmantainable compared to their circa 1996 network enabled desktop application cousins.

    Web apps are a historical regression.

    Posted on a historically regressive site.

  6. Re:English Language Article. on Judge In Pirate Bay Trial Biased · · Score: 1

    I'm a little lost in your wall of rant guruevi, but my post was in response to rhsanborn's "In some defense..." post.

    I think we're on the same page. Your page just includes hot women and coffee so I think your's is better on just that alone.

  7. Re:English Language Article. on Judge In Pirate Bay Trial Biased · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That would be true if that was the only factor.

    "Judge Norstrom acknowledged to Swedish Radio that he was a member of The Swedish Association for Copyright, as well as a board member of the Swedish Association for the Protection of Industrial Property. He also said he has worked alongside Monica Wadsted -- who represented the American movie industry in the trial -- to solve disputes related to Internet domain names. However, he rejected that there was any conflict of interests."

    But it isn't.

    There is a difference between just being member of an organization and being a board member of an organization who's goals would benefit the Plaintiff and having established a professional cooperative relationship with a Plaintiff's council previously.

  9. Re:Possible reason? on Ubisoft To Shut Down Shadowbane · · Score: 1

    If you've played WoW, then you've played a micro-transaction game with a subscription.

    Blizzard does it in to form of the trading card game and codes within the packs that gets you stuff. Naturally, the codes for the really cool stuff are rare making you buy more cards.

  10. Re:Not done yet on Ubisoft To Shut Down Shadowbane · · Score: 1

    I wish I could provide the actual article but it deals with Matt Groening's frustrations with "Futurama". In short, the networks were telling him to make another Simpsons and his protest was that they've already got one.

    Don't worry. Other, possibly right-wing, morons will jump in to set them straight.

  12. Re:What about MySQL? on Oracle Buys Sun · · Score: 1

    but of course the big question is what does this mean for MySQL?

    I guess that will depend on the contract arrangements Sun had with MySQL. I suspect Oracle will keep it as a entry level / small business solution.

    It does for the Blizzard programmers. I sometimes wonder if MS pays Blizzard and incentive not to port WoW over.

    Meh. I suspect it's not teh ebil MS and simply market share vs. supporting another OS not being cost effective.

  19. Re:Attention Linux Fanbois on Linux's Role In Microsoft's Decline · · Score: 1

    Macs will always appeal to a certain demographic but "Always have a better market share than Linux" is a bit presumptuous. Linux can appeal to demographics that Mac can't approach. Just going to Newegg, there are 8 netbooks with Linux pre-installed from $250 to $500. The MacBook is $1000.

    Or Blizzard ports WoW over. Wouldn't have to available at Wal-Mart either. Just available for download.

    thanks to a cooperative president.

    Not according to a previous AC.

    Bush's people were VERY busy making sure nothing that wasn't supposed to be there would be hanging around for the Obama people to come across.

    Apparently they were too busy covering their posterior and some could consider that a different type of vandalism.

    Extend the original line of logic to your cell phone and all the contact information you keep in it. Now, if you advocate removal of email addresses from the file, then you should wipe the contact info contained in your cell for the same reason.
