  3. Re:Nope, Apple did not start it on Wozniak On the Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 1

    It's Rubens 'Allegory of the Outbreak of War', Guernica is mirrored, Apollo became a horse, the fury a bull, the small angel a lamp, the others stayed more or less the same. Some say it's a coincidence. Recently they also found the original of the Demoiselles d'Avignon

  4. Re:Nope, Apple did not start it on Wozniak On the Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 1

    But Picasso, ever heard him attribute it to someone else?

    Picasso is a master thief. As a composition Guernica is a slavish copy, but it is easier to find his preliminary studies than any reference to the original.

    And suppose the observers are John and Mary and suppose now John doesn't love Mary anymore. It makes everything interesting, but does it matter?

  7. Re:This article makes no sense. on Quantum Teleportation Sends Information 143 Kilometers · · Score: 1

    It's a quantum state cipher. The cipher and the message can not travel faster than light. Teleportation refers to the fact that the encoding particle-cipher becomes random when creating the message, leaving only the paired decoding particle able to decipher the message.

  8. Re:If we're not for science, what are we for. on Lance Armstrong and the Science of Drug Testing · · Score: 1

    Armstrong performed on a level of a epo user. Occam razor should cope with the absence of positive tests and other legal thinking. If it weights five tons it's an elephant, even if I don't see tusks.

    He saved what was probably the greatest national treasure of the USA from the 1900-2000 time frame from destruction by his heroic action.

    I also save my bill every time I go out to eat.

  10. Re:Wrong history... on Researchers Turn Home Wi-Fi Router Into Spy Device · · Score: 1

    Even then, nobody was really interested until WW2.

    The swiss keyboard is a nice compromise, it allows to write german and french.

  16. Re:First things first... on Does Grammar Matter Anymore? · · Score: 1

    I went to the family farm, and while there helped my uncle Jack off a horse.

    Is that all there is? The usefulness of grammar seems limited to sentences (five and counting) including uncles and horses ... and nitpicking.

  17. Re:Really? on Former Microsoft Exec: Microsoft Has "Become the Thing They Despised" · · Score: 1

    When did Word get styles, anyway?

    As far as I remember Word was always structured as Document - Section - Paragraph - Text range. A header1 Paragraph was for example formatted on document level with: fonts, spacing, page breaks, etc. For me that's good enough to qualify as a style sheet. As Tex and Wordperfect, yes they are better and you can do much more with them.

    are you giving MS credit for CSS?

    No as Word does not predate SGML ..., but when I started to develop in HTML, I looked at existing code (15% content diluted in 80% formatting) and started to search for style sheets. For some Word users HTML is unthinkable without CSS.

    simply stepping outside will suffice.

    No need for that - #2 and #4 have each separately planned your death. That's OK as it's good for the audience.

    There is this thing called inertia, and it is a bitch

    On a tow path - towing was also done by children last century, the bitch is not the 50000 pounds of inertia, but the wind.
