    So flip a coin? If my life supposedly isn't any more important than anyone else's, why are you assuming *his* is?

    Note that the source code you can download doesn't compile into the PGP executable. Convenient.

    And you conclude this how? MD5/SHA-1? Because that proves a whole lot...just one character different somewhere and it's out the window.

    So what decibel is an acceptable "volume" for you?

    Admittedly, referencing a word taken from what appears to be a French advertisement, regardless of the "Americanness" of the product, seems like troubled reasoning when dealing with U.S. English native speakers.

    Sounds more like he's saying that learning *an* assembly language does wonders for your perspective on other, higher-level languages, which I would agree with. Does it really matter which chip you learn the assembly for?

  7. Re:That's really insane! on Dutch Court Rules Hyperlinks Can Constitute Infringement · · Score: 1

    This makes me curious whether URLs that are non-hyperlinked (i.e., "pre"/plaintext/whatever) would fall outside of this ruling. After all, they're not actually hyperlinks :)

    So wait...first we're all complaining that Metro doesn't make any sense for a desktop; that Metro only makes sense on portable devices. Now you're complaining that Metro will suck up precious resources on mobile devices.

    What, are you planning to use the normal Windows desktop on a touchscreen phone or tablet? If Metro is specifically designed for touchscreens, why the hell would you?

  14. Re:Implied Consent? on 64 Complaints Received On UK Cookie Law · · Score: 1

    If we're talking a sit-down restaurant (I wouldn't personally call fast food a "restaurant"), you kind of have to be inside to place an order. Even if you could order over the phone, you still have to physically enter the place. So yes, entering the restaurant AND placing an order are important.

    You just can't win whenever an article comes up about them. Either somebody refers to them as an entity and you instantly have a dozen ACs screaming "ANONYMOUS DOESN'T EXIST FEAR US!", or you dismiss them and someone like you complains that they're a real thing and we should pay attention.

    As usual for /., the only winning move is not to play.
