  1. Re:Why still 'MediaSentry' on MediaSentry Hired By People's Republic of China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And Nazi supporters grand pa Bush, IBM, Volksvagen, Mercedes....did not change name and yet nobody cares.

    Perhaps they managed to regain (or at least some of them..) their reputation using other means, doesn't that sort of prove the point?

  2. Re:a match made in heaven . . . on MediaSentry Hired By People's Republic of China · · Score: 1

    Comparisons with 1936 are severely misplaced, IMO.

    In 1936, they wouldn't have wanted to compare it to 'our' Olympics of 1936 either, now would they?

  3. Similar to batteries... on Portable Nuclear Battery in the Development Stages · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... it will have a warning label on it saying:
    "May explode if disposed of in fire"

    Although, I suppose whether it's a warning label or a usage guide depends on your political views.

  4. overlap? on P2P Remains Dominant Protocol · · Score: 1

    So... If i set up a web server, and tell my friends to download my new web page, is that p2p or http? By the way, as long as HTTP isn't multicast, wouldn't it classify as a peer-to-peer protocol?

  5. Re:The Foolproof Lie Detector on Scientists Predicting Intentions · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt that you'd get a fool-proof lie detector, as a true fool probably would believe he was telling the truth (as in, he's been fooled to believe, kind of like politics..). The answer would, objectively, be untrue, but not a lie per se. Furthermore, you could probably learn to trick such a lie detector by concentrating on what to answer, rather than on the question, answering a question that wasn't asked is probably neither untrue nor a lie, and as such, undetectable.

  6. Re:This patent is not JUST for XML... on Microsoft Receives XML Patent · · Score: 1

    Am I misstaken when I say that this is (as previuos poster suggeted) every single javascript contained in a html file anywhere?

    CDATA means character data, as opposed to PCDATA which is Parsed character data and may contain tags. CDATA is what attributes to a tag are, so a tag like this; <img src="somepic.jpg" onMouseOver="javascript:changeMe();"> (assuming ofcourse that's how the syntax work, haven't done that for a while), now, javascript:changeMe(); is, per definition, a script, and it is contained in an attribute, and is therefore CDATA.

    Why does this seem wrong to me somehow?

  7. Re:A new low on Another Worm Targets Anti-Spam Sites · · Score: 1

    Why use a subset, when you can use the general expression without losing definiteness...

  8. Re:Having problems with your sex life? on Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which is confirmed by the fact that a normal /. post would have at least 3 times the amount of comments by now

    Or maybe they all went to read the book...
