    Friendly!? Haven't you seen any KDE-gnome flame war? Ok, ok, just kidding. It's lively discussion, but I guess it could be tagged as friendly

  3. Re:why? on New Lossless MP3 Format Explained · · Score: 1

    So, if you get a lossless format along with the mp3, the prediction could be perfect (you have a copy of the original) and the actual lossy part will be very small, like 0bytes.

    And if you get it to make coffe, it becomes an MP11. Hey, it's funny but its true! Someone got this MPx going here in Brazil... Now the guys that know better are being treated as they were crazy! I am being forced to go along with this MPx shit just to be able do comunicate

  6. Re:Let's be life pigs. on Umbilical Cord Blood Banking? · · Score: 1

    Obviously you are not a parent too. People are convinced that stem cell could be the health bless of the future and the majority of the loving parents are willing to dump some money just in case the umbilical cord gets necessary.

    People risk their jobs, even their houses. But people don't risk their children's health. It is not a matter of reasoning. It is a matter of love.

    The novel idea is to make it work on a PC.

  8. Re:HAHAHAHAHA on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 2, Informative

    A friend of mine gave me his HL2 disks 'cause he didn't like the game (crazy guy...). Only then I realized that it is not possible to transfer a key code from one account to another. I contacted steam support and the guy just said I can't be done.

    Steam is the best example of how DRM can hurt you. I got off the hook early (I have only a couple of games from there), but people can spend a lot o money before realizing that some DRM cripples your freedom to do whatever you want with your copy of the game.

    I, for one, will never put another penny at that shit.

    Funny thing is that one post on the thread got modded Insigtful, while all the rest got funny. Being a MP thread, this is as expected...

    Does it run nice stuff over crap or crap over nice stuff? Let the flamewar begin! (ducks)

    I wish I had mod points. Best hitler comparison ever! I have to confess I dunno if this is funny or just plain insightful...

    Lets face it. KDE and Gnome is like politics and religion. There is no way one side could convince the other of anything. People should just live with the differences and accept that.

  22. Re:Compatibility on The Evolution of Python 3 · · Score: 1

    Even being a flamebait, this one has to be replied. It is very important to understant that 3.0 AND 2.6 are being supported at the same time by the same core developers. Code breaks only if you go for 3.0. Stay in 2.6 and you will be fine.

    That being said, I do agree that this raises questions regarding the feeling that we now have two distinct languages. I really have mixed feelings on this one, but I am sure that no script got broken as you have the option of not going for 3.0 and still get support.

  23. Re:Probably not an issue for beginners? on The Evolution of Python 3 · · Score: 1

    On the article on top of this thread he said the opposite. He argues that many books will show old dialects and you end up learning 2.2 stuff for example. On the other hand, if you go for 3.0, it is sort of easy to learn what changes to go back to 2.6. This way you avoid being tainted by old dialects that creep on books that get new editions as python versions go by. Note that is is Gido argument, no mine. It's on TFA

  24. Re:Combine them.... on The Evolution of Python 3 · · Score: 1

    Because, after all, the difference between python 3.0 and 2.6 is almost nothing. Just 0.4

    Besides the fact that I agree with you, I will explain the reason: flash make things pretty and the masses don't want just information, they want it conveyed in the nicest way possible. For the majority of the users, flash is not a problem.

    After that, allow me to say that I hate flash. Even more because it doesn't work properly on my job workstation. Too bad we are minority on the internet wild and people simply don't care.
