  1. Re:Dodgy statesmen on Microsoft Tax Dodge At Issue In Washington State · · Score: 1

    Oh, and the elections were less than a year ago.

  2. Re:Dodgy statesmen on Microsoft Tax Dodge At Issue In Washington State · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with Bush, I also consider Clinton and Bush 1's corporatism to be dysfunctional - if you had bothered to check what I consider sound economics (that is, stuff that doesn't come from Keynes or the Chicago Boys), you'd have noted that it has fuck all to do with what the Demoblicans, the Libertards or garden-variety socialists want, and your assumption makes you a moron - I didn't say the Obama government was any less dysfunctional.

    Neural networks are a misnomer.

    Also it would probably be Mugration

  5. Re:DRM free iTunes? on Microsoft Awarded Patent For Peer-To-Peer DRM · · Score: 1

    We'll have to see, 100% DRM-free iTMS was only reached last April, but according to the wikipedia article they made a third of their entire sales just this year (3 billion) and it supposedly has about 70% of the official market. Of course there might be a bit of "needing to take off/broadband to be more common worldwide" but the shop was opened in 2004...

    Quick summary: I don't know, but it might.

  6. Re:America's new strategy on Microsoft Tax Dodge At Issue In Washington State · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you're letting out that sort of complaint, chances are you're not. So enjoy your wishful thinking that you may some day be rich, or go read up stats on social mobility.

    Delaware has corporate taxes

    Newsflash: mercantilism was considered outdated when your head of state wore a powdered wig, lace and makeup

    You, sir, are a complete idiot - everyone pays sales tax.

  10. Re:Dodgy statesmen on Microsoft Tax Dodge At Issue In Washington State · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Can we get an administration in office that understands some economics?

    So you mean encouraging imports over exports, removing corporate personhood, supporting cooperatives and small scale businesses and breaking up large monopolies? Or do you really believe the last 8 years haven't been completely dysfunctional, too?

  11. Re:Doomsday Machine on Soviets Built a Doomsday Machine; It's Still Alive · · Score: 1

    No, the ancient philistines were indo-european peoples, the jews, like the phoenicians, were of the same ethnic group as the other peoples of the area, the Old Testament is generally seen as a fairy tale book by serious archaeologists and OF COURSE THERE WAS CONTINUED CONFLICT IN THE AREA 600 YEARS AGO YOU MORON - How do you think the Ottoman Empire took over the Mamluks, with candies? Then you have lebanese revolts by the Ma'anid emirs, the druze revolts, etc.

    That says absolutely nothing that you want it to say.

  12. Re:scary shit on Soviets Built a Doomsday Machine; It's Still Alive · · Score: 1

    You also missed the original General Ripper - not LeMay but his successor at SAC - a man so insane and unstable even LeMay thought he was a lunatic fascist.

    1 - No, less than 60 years

    2 - No, Protestantism is only 500 years old

  14. Re:Isn't the bloat a choice? on According to Linus, Linux Is "Bloated" · · Score: 1

    Which is often done even on specific models of computers, you can easily find a non-official repo on some distros with a kernel made, say, specifically to run a netbook or a specific model of laptop on the market - I would assume a device maker who doesn't do it when amateurs do it is not doing their job and deserves the fallout when they complain.

  15. Re:Translation: on According to Linus, Linux Is "Bloated" · · Score: 1

    Well, yes, since Windows' kernel does less on less architectures for more lines of code.

  16. Re:Wow! on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: 1

    There's even comics on literary analysis of comics (and I heard of a phd thesis written partially in manga format)

  17. Re:It matters on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    The printing press is a 1000 years old, molded characters for easy reuse are 600 years old. And cursive is about 200 years old - wtf are you whining about.

  18. Re:Illegible Cursive going away? Oh Noez! on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    Yes, critics have noted that his plays have seriously lost in quality and power ever since he sent them to his editor to be printed.

    Cursive =/= calligraphy, cursive is a shitty, lazy, aesthetically bland attempt at mimicking what calligraphers take years to master, poser. It's the Arial to Helvetica. And maybe not even.

    No, I probably misread the gggpp - people who bring out the Tragedy of Commons usually use it as a justification against commons - but you were replying to a post about how consumers would make the system perfect when that idea implies perfect information.

    It's about unmanaged commons, though. The author stated it.

  25. Re:Brain... locking... up... on Microsoft Files Suits Against "Malvertisers" · · Score: 1

    Which has nothing to do with OpenSSH but boneheaded Debianoids. The fact that it could be missed had nothing to do with OpenSSH's dev model and everything to do with the fact that they tried to work around but were too lazy to fork it outright.
