  1. Re:Windows 8 on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    So a "religion" is anything you don't like, then?

  2. Re:Let the patent war begin on Russian President Interested In Funding ReactOS · · Score: 1

    The iPhones basically kickstarted the platform, and we all know that Apple logic defies reality.

  3. Re:3... 2... 1... on Russian President Interested In Funding ReactOS · · Score: 2

    In which case, ReactOS may support legacy programs better than Windows 12 will, eventually.

  4. "pre-beta" on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    The Windows Developer Preview is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers.

    So, it's alpha then?

  5. Re:x86? on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    From a practical standpoint, aren't most of the machines being sold these days coming with 4 or more gigs of RAM?

  6. Re:Windows 8 on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    ruled by the religious nut-case fringes who cling to the "one-and-only-truth" as if their lives depend on it.

    I'm sure you've noticed the merciless, brutal mocking that ensues every time someone even mentions creationism or Christianity?

  7. Re:EU Extends Music Copyright to 90 Years on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 1

    Is that why Matt is Groaning? *rimshot*

  8. Offtopic, I know, sorry on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 1

    There are 0x40000000 types of people, those who understand 32-bit IEEE 754 floating point, and those who don't.

    Funny, but it's not like it makes sense to express an integer as an IEEE float to begin with...

  9. Re:Korea? Wich Korea? on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because that worked out so well the last time.

  10. Re:And thus dies support, and corporate usage on Monthly Ubuntu Releases Proposed · · Score: 1

    You mean the 3.6.x that drops support in a couple months?

  11. Negative one words on Monthly Ubuntu Releases Proposed · · Score: 1

    SEGFAULT

  12. Re:Oh, it's clear something has to change! on Monthly Ubuntu Releases Proposed · · Score: 1

    I was testing Linux Mint Debian XFCE in a VM and recently installed it on my desktop. A version with XFCE is an added bonus :-)

  13. Re:Oh, it's clear something has to change! on Monthly Ubuntu Releases Proposed · · Score: 1

    It's not really a choice if the package does it automatically, now, is it?

  14. Re:WTF? on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    I *have* taken a programming languages class; I'm a CS major. There is no way in hell 4 lines is going to pass any Turing test. And I'd like to see those lines.

  15. Re:WTF? on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    Eliza is kind of a subset--Chatterbot isn't a psychiatrist.

  16. Re:WTF? on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    Also, I'd like to see these "20 lines of prolog" of which you speak. You must have a very loose definition of "line", unless you're talking about a chatbot that only does math.

  17. Re:WTF? on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because you're going to ask people you have conversations with to do random math problems. Really?

  18. Off by 3 on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    Or do you have a different reason?

  19. Re:Definitely not on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    That's basically how Cleverbot works, right...?

  20. doppelgänger on Researchers' Typosquatting Stole 20 GB of E-Mail · · Score: 1

    No reason to waste a perfectly good umlaut, right?

  21. Re:Which illustrates what we already knew on Linux 3D Games Run Faster On PC-BSD · · Score: 1

    yea but the average FreeBSD distribution is lot more optimized than the average bloated linux distro such as Ubuntu.

    As stated above, this is PC-BSD, which is a desktop variant, not one of the ones optimized for speed, security, etc., etc., so the comparison is relatively fair.

  22. Re:Slashvertisement or not, it's a nice Gedankenex on Domino's Plans Pizza On the Moon · · Score: 1

    I'd say the odds are significantly in favor of Etcetera, assuming the human race lasts more than the next 20 years. Okay, maybe not about the apostrophe, but I expect we'll all be speaking Mandarin in 20 years anyway so whatever.

  23. Re:15 minutes or it's free! on Domino's Plans Pizza On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Because the sun and the moon are equidistant from earth? And I always heard that the sun's light took 6 minutes to get here.

  24. Re:15 minutes or it's free! on Domino's Plans Pizza On the Moon · · Score: 1

    If we listened to everybody like you, we wouldn't have any pizza franchises left in the U.S.

  25. Re:How the hell could that work? on Xbox 360 Reset Hack Yields Unsigned Code Execution · · Score: 1

    The two-player game was of the "play until you lose a life, then the other player goes" variety. The second player ship was green IIRC. (We still have one of those old Atari machines at my house, in working order no less)
