  1. Re:Ban how to host a murder while you're at it. on On Realism and Virtual Murder · · Score: 1

    You need to educate children about the difference between fiction and reality. It's really not that hard.

    oh really?
    I stopped watching TV news when I realized there is almost no difference between fiction and reality...

  2. Re:not very interesting on Mozilla and Google's "Don't-Be-Evil" Bulldozer · · Score: 1

    wow, that sounds exactly like saying IE is not a niche app...

    you knew Firefox was available in 72 languages?

    Lilly says Thunderbird is not a niche app.

    How is Thunderbird not a niche app?

  4. Re:Already available on Mozilla Jetpack and the Battle For the Web · · Score: 2

    this addon (project) is redundant.

    It's like the other one in which they want to incorporate command line in Firefox, instead of having it as a addon under the name of Ubiquity.

    With Jetpack they want to replace Greasemonkey and also make easier addon development...

    I say to you, it's wasted time... Improve Gecko, XulRunner, but not this...

  5. Re:Stopping making? on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 1

    maybe he's intending to move in a foreign (non-English speaking) country, thus deliberately starting to act like a foreigner? :)

    Not everybody on /. is a native English speaker.

  7. and if you're lucky on Subverting PIN Encryption For Bank Cards · · Score: 1

    you may find the PIN in 3 tries, instead of 15 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/02/21/how_to_get_an_atm/

  8. Re:Oh yeah, because Portal was a huge flop... on The Perils of Pointless Innovation In Games · · Score: 1

    emo or not, you got to admit that the FFF (free form fighting) system was quite impressive and innovative at that time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHgGfsZN-5I

    And it's highly subjective, because I liked more the story line and the level design of Warrior Within. Maybe I liked it because it reminded of the original POP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia_(1989_video_game) which I played often as a kid...

  9. Re:newest ideas - LOLWUT? on The Perils of Pointless Innovation In Games · · Score: 1

    Newest ideas. Blatantly ripping off another title.

    Just think of Crysis... Some said it was a fresh idea, even if it had many similar aspects to AVP (Alien versus Predator); especially the skills of the suit, compared to the Predators skills.

  10. Re:Europe... on Organized Online, Students Storm Gov't. Buildings In Moldova · · Score: 1

    well this cannot be know, no study or research has been done on that matter. But I can tell you that we (most of the young people, under 30) don't share the ideology, and don't care about.

    A small example, from the entire Romanian blogosphere I read daily (100+) there were only 3-4 who wrote an article about it, and a couple which came with twits like: "gonna watch some TV... actually changed my mind, you can't see anything else except the riot in Moldova".

  13. Re:Europe... on Organized Online, Students Storm Gov't. Buildings In Moldova · · Score: 1

    from the way you speak, and the protests your speaking about I assume you are a member of "Noua Dreapta", an ultra-nationalist organization...

    Moldova and Romania have moved on two separate roads, and it's not our right, not our duty to intervene. There is no room for "divine" intervention, if they want to go through with this they'll have to sort it out themselves.

    Just take as an example the way that the US cleaned Iraq from dictatorship. Now there are more bomb attacks, political conflicts, etc that anyone would have imagined. The changing of the system can only be done by their citizens, intervention may be interpreted by the communist party as a lack of power from the people they rule.

    If you and your ultra nationalist party are rebelled by what's happening, I invite you and your little fellas to go in Moldova and sort things out.

  15. Re:Europe... on Organized Online, Students Storm Gov't. Buildings In Moldova · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    ... as a Romanian I can tell you that some (like myself) don't give a damn about Moldova, as they don't give a shit about Romania...

    Oh, I remember now, they call upon our help when there are major problems (or for profit)... now that's what I call brotherhood relationship.

  16. Re:Yes on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    There are quite a few esoteric programming languages.For example Brainfuck and Befunge.

  17. Re:Sesame Street & the Importance of Bilingual on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to disagree with you on that, because I've learned Italian, English, German and Hungarian from watching TV, shows/cartoons, well before being 10 years..

    Nowadays can't have a dialogue in Italian (and German) because I haven't spoken it for years... but I can still understand them.

  18. Re:Sesame Street & the Importance of Bilingual on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    note: the Romanian language might have some Slavonic influences, but it's still a Latin language.

  19. Re:I was so excited, for like ten seconds on Command Lines and the Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    I want to type something like "add favourite 'my favourite recipes' in 'food links'" and "go back" and "favourite 'my favourite recipes'" and "new tab 'live.ca'" and "close all other tabs".

    you can do all these from ubiquity... i'd say you check ubiquity first..

    my opinion is that they shouldn't incorporate Taskfox in the default build, as some mentioned before they should stop adding bling-blings and improve firefox's performance... since moved to version 3 I feel like I've done a downgrade :|

  20. so what? on Romanians Find Cure For Conficker · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ESETs ThreatSense technology (heuristically) recognizes all the variants... F-Secure did a conflicker removal tool in 27th of February...

    And above all that I'm skeptic about the "delete all versions" phrase, because BidDefender as a (bloated) AV that it is, is pretty much signature based, and has very weak heuristic detection...

  22. Re:developer point of view on Open Source Usability — Joomla! Vs. WordPress · · Score: 1
    • Joomla! is for blogging as using a truck for delivering local newspaper
    • Worpdress as a CMS is like using a family car to deliver regional newspaper

    I think this analogy was better understandable :)

  23. developer point of view on Open Source Usability — Joomla! Vs. WordPress · · Score: 1
    • Joomla! for blogging is like using a PC just for playing music.
    • Wordpress as a CMS solution is like using an iPOD for playing movies.

    Sure Wordpress can do the job as a CMS, but when you'll need a higher degree of customization you'll need to digg into the code, where Joomla! might have already that feature somewhere in the administrative panel...

    p.s. I know it wasn't the best analogy, but still...
