  1. Re:And... on Google Launches User-Driven Debate Site · · Score: 1

    More of a groupthink than a proper debate.

  2. Re:Look... on Google Launches User-Driven Debate Site · · Score: 1

    That isn't exactly how a debate should be run. It should be listening to facts and debating about opinions unfortunately, there lacks a good source to get facts, and even the presidential debates are more or less set up to keep us more in the dark.

    I hope that Google will require sources to be cited.

    Parents are always wrong. Until you become one.

  4. Re:Three Laws of Robotics on Packs of Robots Will Hunt Down Uncooperative Humans · · Score: 1

    You can practice with this. Fun little time-waster.

  5. Re:Because you're locked in on Which Phone To Develop For? · · Score: 1

    This isn't my first UID. I wish one could change names without losing their UID and karma. As for the Iceweasel thing, I have that there because there has to be some people whom philosophically prefer Iceweasel over Firefox that are forced to use Windows now and then (such as work). I am one such person (although currently I am using the nightly builds at work).

    Be a shame if something was to happen to it. (*Crash*) Whoops. How clumsy of me...

    Eh, the mods must be crazy.

    You must be new here.

  8. Re:Three Laws of Robotics on Packs of Robots Will Hunt Down Uncooperative Humans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm not worried. I don't plan on being physically human by that time.

  9. Re:Where are they getting the power? on Australia Developing Massive Electric Vehicle Grid · · Score: 1

    Walk. Bike. Horse and buggy.

  10. Re:That was my thought as well on Russia Mandates Free Software For Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Gratis is an accepted English word? I thought it was a Spanish word we have been borrowing.

  11. Re:blah the emporer has his new clothes on again. on The Walking House · · Score: 1

    Probably because there is only one and it was just unveiled in the city. If you want pics of it in the woods they need to get it there first.

    I was expecting to see this.

    Call it a meme and you can ramble on about it forever and still be modded Funny.

  14. Re:Reliable numbers? on Fedora 9 Would Cost $10.8B To Build From Scratch · · Score: 1

    They don't want to.

    Also, they have completely different goals in software development. A MS programmer is doing whatever they have been told to do, and it is intended for use by the somewhat distant consumer.
    A Linux programmer is either trying to improve something for himself or for the company he works for. Either way, he is much closer to the end-users for feedback.

  15. Offline patches? on Bandwidth Use In MMOs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can't you get offline installers that you can download from school/work/friend's basement and bring over by sneakernet?

  16. Re:Not a Luddite, but not a believer either on Honda Makes Motorcycle Talk To Oncoming Cars · · Score: 1

    "oops I did not see you, sorry!" is their favorite line.

    <sarcasm>Oh, I bet that's comforting</sarcasm>

    Wait, you said it was a blond (I will assume female), didn't you? Depending on how sorry she is, it might be comforting after all.

  17. Re:Interesting idea on Honda Makes Motorcycle Talk To Oncoming Cars · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, that would be a false negative. False positive would be detecting a car when there is none.

    You have p0wned a grue.

    You are in a windowless room. A monitor casts a soft glow onto a set of stairs ascending to ground level

    What's the difference?

  21. Re:Tell us Bill on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 2, Informative

    Vista had 50 million lines at Beta 2

    And the unique line is commented out.

    Good thing it isn't running Vista, then.
