    According to the omniscient Wikipedia (and other /.ers posting higher up the thread), it is tÃikÅng rén

    Not in my time zone. It's nearly 3pm now.

  3. Re:no on Bill To Add Accountability To Border Laptop Search · · Score: 1

    No, because that would imply that it has stopped spiraling downwards.

    Yeah, my reading comprehension sucks this morning.

  5. Re:Wonderful naming, there on PC-BSD 7 Released, With KDE 4.1.1 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, it's aimed at the desktop, maybe they could call it "Desktop-BSD". Except that "Desktop" as a word is somewhat anachronistic.

    And it is already taken.

    Wait, nevermind. You are saying they should have used 7zip instead of WinZip. My mistake.

  7. Re:All of this could have been avoided on Asus Ships Cracking Software On Recovery DVD · · Score: -1, Redundant

    An archive is an archive. How could this have been avoided by using .7z? The only thing I can think of is security by obscurity from using an uncommon format.

    We don't seem to have expanded to use all oxygen yet.

    I blame that pesky forest in South America.

    Involved how? Involved in the groups opposing it? (Somehow I doubt that was the direction you were going with this)

    That one's named "Front Page". So much better.

  12. Re:Soon: Mayor's Office C&D Posted to Idle on City Sues To Prevent Linking To Its Website · · Score: 1

    The quality of the site seems very poor. Let's all click the pretty link and hope the server is an ex-gaming rig.

  13. Re:Blame Microsoft? on IPv6 and the Business-Case Skeptics · · Score: 1

    I know there are tunneled IPv6 connections available that are free...

    What is the security risk of using them?

    Mine grew an arm and stabbed me in the face.

  16. Re:Why not just improve the site? on Stuck In Google's Doghouse · · Score: 1

    And what a fickle product we are. I takes less than 3 seconds to change your search provider in the top-left corner, and only a little more time than that to change the address bar search default.

    When you're the only game in town...

    I'm sure the people who have taken the time to actually talk to McCain have left the juicy little morsel out. So why not tell him?

  18. Re:Innovation on McCain Answers Science Policy Questionnaire · · Score: 1

    I'll leave it up to the rest of you to flame McCain for that!

    What good is a bunch of geeks venting to each other?

    McCain is a technologically illiterate politician. Write to him, if you can, and educate him. If a judge only hears one side of a case because the other party doesn't show up in court, who do you think the judge would rule in favor of? That's exactly what the MAFIAA has done: presented their side of the story, and they make their case seem vaguely reasonable to someone not familiar with the topic. Our turn. Try clearing away the MAFIAA FUD. And try to keep it civil. People are unlikely to take someone who is calling them an incompetent idiot seriously.

    Just fork the code and call it "Web browser" in the UI...

    That's what Iceweasel is: a rebranding.
