    Now that's just plain rude. As soon as I find my touque you're gonna get yours.

  3. Re:$16 / month? on Colorado May Allow Cities To Provide Wifi · · Score: 1

    I don't know where you learned math but according to the stats you linked to for Denver:

    3,700 people/sq mi X 16 sq mi = 59200 people

    $600,000 / 59200 people = $10.14 / person

    Not $1 or $2. Allowing for the fact that not everyone will sign up (such as children) and some people will share a connection and $16 is pretty reasonable.

    Sorry I wasn't able to deduce your knowledge of the myth or humourous intention from your three word sentence.

    As an alternative to hardcoding a delay in the authentication code, the mainframe where I work will lock an account if there are more than 3 failed login attempts in a given day. You then have to call the help desk and verify who you are before they will unlock it.

    Actually in the U.S. its "checks", "cheque" is the British spelling.

  9. Re:Nice try, Mr. Zealot.. on RMS Blasts Sun's Open Source Patent Licensing · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I agree. If I spend time writing a program I have the right to decide how I wish to distribute that program - for a fee, free binary (no source), open source, etc. As the author I have that right until/unless _I_ decide to transfer my rights.

    Stallman has completely lost it. He's moved beyond advocate and become, as you so accurately put it, a zealot.

    I wish him well trying to knock down those windmills.

    I don't read every article but I do scan the summaries and even I could tell this was a dupe. It takes all of about 5-10 minutes a day to scan the summaries. Plenty of time left to eat and sleep.

    but there is no version of GIMP for Windows

    We should stop calling them "Anonymous Cowards" and start calling them "Anonymous Idiots".

    I've been using GIMP on Windows for over two years. Apparently you missed the "GIMP for Windows" link on the main page of the GIMP website. It must be tough for you when things are hidden in plain view.

    The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club.

    Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells "Stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.
