  1. Re:The sooner Android replaces KDE, the better on Compiz Project Releases C++ Based v0.9.0 · · Score: 1

    Gnome and KDE were imperfect Desktop environments so that F/OSS unix could have one. Now that we are getting a good one at long last (Android). Why stick with the old an obselete?



    What can i do in android that i cant do in gnome?
    What can the windows gui do that i cant do in gnome?
    What can the mac gui do that i cant do in gnome?

    Just because an environment is simplistic doesn't mean it sucks. I prefer gnome over kde because it focuses less on eye-candy and more usability.

    I prefer gnome over windows because it doesn't try to compress my programs menu.

    Also who are you to say that android is a perfect environment? Why do they constantly come out with new updates?

    finally android was made for a touchscreen environment, not a point and click one.
  2. mhm ravens on Empathy Is For the Birds · · Score: 0, Troll

    So mammals evolved from these special birds? these birds are in the group that is known for their intelligence. Other birds do not share these characteristics apparently.

    by applying this logic i should assume that all creatures with mammalian-like eyes originates from octopuses, because their kind is more archeic and their eye-structure is very similar (though it is accepted that the eyes developed separately with no relation mammals)

  5. Re:OK, they're integrated "properly", but... on AMD's Fusion CPU + GPU Will Ship This Year · · Score: 1

    intel's linux drivers suck dead, half-rotten, year old horseballs

    ATI's graphics drivers are at least tolerable.... heck i cant do a dual monitor without PERMANENTLY BREAKING my intel graphics card driver!... yes this has happened to me while using ubuntu jaunty and why I'm never getting a laptop without nvidia or ATI cards.

    (yes a re-install of ubuntu worked)

  8. yro my ass on UK University Researchers Must Make Data Available · · Score: 2

    making publicly funded non-military research has nothing to do with privacy. Public money is spent for the public good and there is no good justifiable reason to keep it hidden from the public... especially if its meant for the betterment of society.

    if you want your data to be private, get your own privately funded money

    is this deodorant reducing stench by adding an odor, or does it kill the bacteria that is decomposing the waste? or both?

  12. Re:well yeah, on China To Tap Combustible Ice As New Energy Source · · Score: 1

    actually its a win- lose situation

    because if you tap the methane, you make less greenhouse and have energy for practical use, while if you ignore it, it will evaporate into the atmosphere and you lose a good energy source.

  13. I cant wait until on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 1

    -they ban sugar in jam
    - they ban sugar in all foods that need to be sweet by nature.(like jam)
    - ban sugar in sodas
    - ban flavoring in foods
    - ban iodine in salt (its IS bad in high dosages!)
    - ban certain plants that might have a little too much fatty acids
    - ban eggs
    - ban milk

    the list goes on. but everybody knows this is totally absurd. this is not like smoking where the user is damaging the people around him. people come to restaurants in expectation of these ingredients. if they dont want salt, they should tell the chef or waiter that they want no salt.

    worst of all, this assemblyman wrote the bill BEFORE even researching the effects of salt.
