  1. Re:To avoid a flame war on Vim Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Is that why the stories all seem to be equally badly edited?

    Nope, they rape one's wife, girlfriend, mother, daughters, and/or sisters while making everyone in the security line watch.

  5. Re:Well, so much for... on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 1

    You should have seen how poor the standards were for rounding up and killing Jews prior to the Nazis taking over. It's much better to have the government stomping you into the ground than some private industry.

  6. Re:What? on Android Orphans: a Sad History of Platform Abandonment · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see a list of phones along with their number of upgrade paths:

    Iphone 1xupgrade path (apple)
    motorola 1xupgrade path 1st 6mo or so then boot loader crack and 2-3+
    htc 3+
    etc...

    It's not about timing it's about choice.

  7. Re:In many cases It still made no difference on Why Economic Models Are Always Wrong · · Score: 1

    "There are people who owned 75 percent of their home, only to see their homes drop 50 percent in value to where even if they wanted to sell it, they wouldn't even get remotely close to what they paid into it."

    Lucky all the other home values dropped similarly, so they didn't need that much to buy new and/or upgrade.

  8. Re:If only big government had stayed off their bac on Fukushima's Fallout Worse Than Thought · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Exactly. Better to have a company lie to us than the government since nobody trusts companies, but too many people trust the government way to fully.

    Hmm, Apple has invented the Wife for geeks.

    don't you mean light weight fiberglass? The stainless steal was just there for looks.

  12. Re:Hate to say it... on How To Catch a Laptop Thief? · · Score: 1

    To be honest, a hacked NOOK Color would suit my travelling needs almost as well as the MacBook.

    is that a statement about the quality of the Nook or the MacBook. Or just showing your diminutive needs?

    you mean the bilk you the 90$ and call the locksmith(Home depot) to duplicate the backup key.

  14. Re:And in addition: on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it the show Lexx that had a planet with a race of immortals that wouldn't do anything for fear of dieing by accident.

    You don't seem to understand the entitlement class.

    My guess, reciting facts as you are learning vs. understanding a subject. A is A because of B (memorized.) vs A is A in relation to B when.... (understood)

    sure they "can" They're just not suppose to, and sometimes there are consequences for doing so.

  18. Re:They shouldn't. on Linux Kernel Developer Declares VirtualBox Driver "Crap" · · Score: 1

    OSS that doesn't work has the option of being fixed by a large number of people
    Closed source that doesn't work has the option of being fixed by a small number of people, or even nobody if deemed undesirable to fix.

    Comparing OSS that doesn't work with Closed source that does is apples to oranges.

    So you can browse to and play games without worrying about driving to a store or downloading an entire game that you may get bored of in the first level and never see 90% of the content you just downloaded.

  22. Re:Any astro-thermophysicists? on EU Sending a Probe To the Sun · · Score: 1

    Not an astro-thermophysicist, but I'd guess that the vacuum of space in that area would be near absolute zero. Now the suns radiation hitting mass would probably generate a large amount of heat.

    I have been through basic training 20+ years ago, and "Full Metal Jacket" is very very close to reality. Minus Private Pile's going nuts, and the actual physical abuse was stopped sometime in the 70s/80s. My Father joined the service in the 60s and there was tons of physical abuse that he saw. Though he remained below the radar and didn't receive any himself.
