That's actually the cold war definition and it's been updated to include other countries one of which is Brazil. The point I was making is when you have a population that is significantly larger than the next closest country you're comparing too of course you're going to have more of all around crazies. It doesn't matter how much you educate someone they're going to swear they saw *insert monster or ghosts here*.
Out of the box OllyDBG and IDA are both better than gdb. Sure, you can modify the source with GDB and probably come up with something better than either of them. I could also write my own from scratch so what's your point? You could of at least recommended something that was close to OllyDbg (i.e. EDB).
Just so. We might have some superstitious instincts, but it's a very bold claim to say that this amounts to believing in magic.
Certainly many Americans -- more so, I suspect, than citizens of other Western countries -- actually believe in magic, superstitions, etc. From that observation we should derive a need for more education and critical thinking, not some alleged universal mechanism of adaptive "magical thinking".
It could also be the extra 100 million or so people we have. According to Wikipedia the US has 313,349,000 people and the nearest western country would be Brazil with 192,376,496 people, but don't let that get in the way of your American bashing.
Okay they patented something obvious in 1995 instead of 2005. His point is they patented something so obvious everyone in that field had 0 idea that the patented existed, but still came to the same conclusion.
It would be illegal for them to call it an investment, but what would happen if they just decided to give them money? For example, thanks for helping me when I needed it so here's some cash to say thank you. If I made a bunch of money from something that started on kickstarter I'd feel it was appropriate to do something for them. I'd feel pretty shitty about myself if I didn't.
Probably not if it was wrote in C, because more than likely they wouldn't have a native client for my OS. You have to screw up pretty bad to make Java non-portable so I'm guessing it'll work fine. For years I ran Linux and duel booted Windows to play WoW (wine sucks horribly for WoW) and when it came time to buy a new computer I opted for a Mac. I get a real Unix OS and that ability to finally ditch Windows for good.
I'm kind of happy it's in Java. This means I'll actually be able to play it. He'll more than likely get a monthly subscription fee out of me, because of it.
Why? Unless you're a borg or non-human and lack the enzyme that breaks down sythoholic drinks correctly you won't get drunk. If by some feat you are something that lacks that enzyme then you might as well drink the real stuff, because it'll have the same effect on you. Yeah, you get a small buzz and no hangover, but you can get the same thing by just drinking a couple of beers and stopping.
My school age daughter forgot luggage on the plane last year. Yes, she was flying alone so we weren't there to remind her. However, 1 professor would have a lot of trouble trying to make sure 10 or 11 students didn't forget anything in the chaos that always happens when a plane lands and people are trying to exit.
Ah, you beat me too it. I was an avid FF / Thunderbird user until they started really really screwing up. Now I use Opera for browsing and email. My only compliant is I didn't switch sooner. In the browser department it kicks the crap out of FF and in the mail department is kicks the crap out of Thunderbird.
That's no near the same thing though. A phone book doesn't also say "here's the phone number to their best friend, mother, and father" without knowing all their names before hand. A phone book also doesn't say "Here is who John is friends with".
Yes, a computer could be used for it and I'm not really sure how else they'd be able to do it. If they did some how come up with something that wasn't a computer to do it then I wouldn't have a problem with them patenting it. Even a specialized computer should be able to be patented provided it's not using standard commodity hardware. If they come up with some specialized components why shouldn't they be able to patent it?
I really don't see how you could patent something as obvious as "push / type a word and have a voice say it". I can see patenting special hardware for it, but not the actual text to voice translation. I know 0 about patents, but shouldn't that fall under some dead obvious clause?

Blah, I should have looked it up before posting. OSX version 10.5 and higher running on Intel processors are UNIX 03 certified.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification#OS_X
All current versions of OSX are 100% UNIX. It received it's certification in 07 if I remember correctly.

Congratulation you're a fucking moron!

umm yeah, both of those are garbage compared IDA or OllyDBG.
Good luck feeding a country like that.

I'm confused. Was that suppose to be a positive review for Gamemaker?
Or they did it perfectly!
You are aware that, here on slashdot, it's still March 31st right?

Google the above phrase and you'll get more information on it than you care to know.

Baziiiinga!
Fixed it for you.
No, but I'm unlisted.

WTF... Why would anyone think that it's okay to publish someones account balance publicly?
Oh that's fine if you don't currently have anything, because they'll make sure you stay that way for the rest of your life.
Thankfully I don't. I remember hearing about that and wondering how a garage sell would work.
