  1. Re:The Web is a Poor Application Platform on Ion Storm To Finish Thief III? · · Score: 1

    You're confusing bad design on the part of the web app's authors with the web as a whole being a bad platform. All the things you bring up can be solved by the people developing said application. I'm not saying that browsers are the perfect development platform. Your arguments against the so-called web platform just aren't dealing with the actual subject. Just like my badly formed paragraphs aren't an example of why paragraphs are a bad method of communicating ideas in a textual form.

    Except for that wierd thing where you don't know what the heck you're clicking on. You sure you need to be using a mouse?

    Recent version of ICQ for windows are like this by default. You actually have to turn off "single message window" if you want the old style.

    I am not curious at all. I live around people daily that ignorantly accept the "kill the crooks" mentality and have been putting up with it for a few decades. Nice to see people rising up against that ignorance.

    It has already been proven, if you've been paying attention, that not all convicts are actually guilty. DNA tests and evidence of racism have shown that some people on death row are....gasp....innocent!

    You're talking to one "lefty" that's willing to punch back. You have no idea what one has to put up with growing up in Texas and not agreeing with the status quo....

    And how are "lefties" responsible for brutal police actions? All "lefties" (if I understand your use of the word) that are activist-minded have always been universally against any form of police brutality.

    Strange how people react when people are protesting what they percieve to be thier own personal beliefs. In case you haven't been paying attention during the last few years, it's not only Rebublicans (or "pseudo-Christians") that people are protesting against. Do some research beyond your Conservative news sites and you'll see...

    How is the above post "insightful"?

    And by the way, you think anti-abortion/pro-lifers (I wonder if most pro-lifers are pro-death penalty) invented protesting? Maybe they should take credit for killing doctors....

    Anyone that tells me my children have to have a mythology-based set of rules posted in their public school should be ashamed of themselves.

  12. Re:Memory pig on Mozilla M17 Is Out · · Score: 1

    You might want to check out the release notes.

    "The M17 development cycle included the last of the major feature work
    that is planned for Mozilla 1.0 From this point forward the development
    focus will be performance, stability and footprint."

  13. Re:The Mozilla Saga part 17 on Mozilla M17 Is Out · · Score: 2

    I don't know how your post got modded up to "Insightful" when you obviously don't do things like read release notes or keep up with what Mozilla is doing.

    Here, yet again, is a quote from the M17 release notes for those that are clueless:

    "The M17 development cycle included the last of the major feature work
    that is planned for Mozilla 1.0 From this point forward the development
    focus will be performance, stability and footprint."

  14. Re:3 more milestones to go on Mozilla M17 Is Out · · Score: 4

    If you READ the release notes, you'll notice that it says:

    "The M17 development cycle included the last of the major feature work
    that is planned for Mozilla 1.0 From this point forward the development
    focus will be performance, stability and footprint."

    So, the point is that performance, stability, and footprint are going to be the focus for the next milestones. Anything confusing about that?

  24. Re:The decline of "modern Japanese culture" on Toonami Plans Revealed · · Score: 2

    Strange that you would consider Japanese animated television and film to be eroding Japanese and American culture. What about American television and film? Is it not degrading the way of life for people across the globe, not to mention here in the U.S.?

    Also, if you want real (note tongue-in-cheek) Japanese culture turn off your Bach and Miles Davis for a moment and listen to some truly groundbreaking audio experimentation (mistakenly called "noise") by the likes of audio masters Boredoms, Merzbow, Masonna, Melt Banana, KK Null, etc. If you think anime is the decline of culture, you haven't seen or heard anything yet.

  25. Re:OK, let's try this again on Toonami Plans Revealed · · Score: 1

    It's called the Cartoon Network, not the Children's Network. I know, I know. Cartoons are for kids in the U.S.

    Have you, however, looked at the other animated shows on the CN? Johnny Bravo's constant come-on's and degredation of women (granted it's making fun of him). Siezure-inducing violence of the Powerpuff Girls (awesome show). Other cartoons that are irreverent and slightly rude (nudge, nudge).

    Just because the shows use voice actors instead of "live" actors and the situations are over-the-top doesn't mean they are all geared towards children...intenionally anyways.

    Also, can you please show me where you get the idea that pedophelia is "HUGE" in Japan? I'm sure a good number of Japanese citizens would take offense at that remark.

    Looking at American non-animated television and movies I could probably create a few links between, oh, Popular, Saved by the Bell, Porky's, American Pie, Dawson's Creek, 90210, Episode I, and numerous others and the "HUGE" wave of pedophelia in the U.S.

    Just something to think about.
