    You're running Linux, and complaining about a little simple dragging around of toolbars? Really?

    Well, it could be disappointing and not very informative at all a la what people are saying about the latest WikiLeaks thing. We wouldn't know until we have it.

    So, you're comparing something that somebody actually did with a fantasy imaginary event

    Did you miss the part where it was a hypothetical situation that he was wishing would happen?

    Seconded. A whoosh, sarcasm, a malicious prank, and a challenge to his manhood - this has it all!

  9. Re:Hmm on What To Load On a 4-Year-Old's Netbook? · · Score: 1

    I sincerely hope you're fucking joking about only hoping about not being sure about the guy being "obviously" joking.

    See, we can do this all day. In conclusion, it is not "fucking obvious" whether someone is being sarcastic online.

  10. Re:The plural of anecdote is data? on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    Hundreds of trips my ass, even 10 on each would have at least been worth something.

    Well, it's a bit early to call them "heinous, despicable abominations" if we haven't seen them yet.

  14. Re:Discrete *wink* *wink* sound card? on Do You Really Need a Discrete Sound Card? · · Score: 1

    I don't get why so many people like Betty White. But then again, I don't understand Steven Wright's allure either, so...

  15. Re:Unfortunately... on Scientists Propose One-Way Trips To Mars · · Score: 1

    it would be a lot cheaper to safeguard the earth [...] against looming disasters, than to try to establish colonies on other planets.

  17. Re:Permanently modified? on Windows Phone Permanently Modifies MicroSD Cards, Warns Samsung · · Score: 1

    It sounds like there's really no point in it being removable media at all.

    1. If you take it out after use, it hoses the phone.
    2. If you take it out, you can't even use it in other devices.
    3. After initial use, you can't take it out to upgrade to a higher-capacity card (see 2).

    So why didn't they just hardwire the damn thing to the phone in the first place? I can't see any advantages of using SD at all.

    Weren't Baltar and maybe Commander Adama the only atheists on the show? And Baltar turned "follower of the one true unnamed Cylon god" after a couple seasons. Different god != no god.

  21. So by your logic... on W3C Says IE9 Is Currently the Most HTML5 Compatible Browser · · Score: 1

    We shouldn't even bother starting work on code to do HTML 5 until the final version is released? And I assume after that, they'll have amendments, too...we had probably better wait for those...

    If stuff changes, those who set up stuff for the way it is now should change it. Whether they actually do is another problem.

  22. Re:LibreOffice will join the ranks of Linux... on 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    You're effectively saying that Windows 7 offered by Compaq and Vista offered by Dell are different Operating Systems.

    And that would be correct...? Aside from having snap-to-edge, 7 has a redesigned "Action Center", less-steep hardware requirements (significantly smaller installed footprint), modified UAC, overhauled Paint and taskbar, etc. Granted, they are very similar, but still.

  23. Re:LibreOffice? on 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1
    You have an interesting set of complaints.

    Mostly because these zealots have not a damned clue about marketing, hence GIMP.

    There are MANY MANY words they could have used to denote "Free with few or no restrictions.

    What's wrong with those names? It seems like a matter of opinion to me. If you're talking about names to be taken seriously over, yeah maybe.

    I really want to love Open Office but parts of it are really bad like why is there a 65535 ( a 16 bit number ) row limit in spreadsheets?

    What kind of problem do you have that you *need* more than 65535 rows? (No really; I'm seriously curious.) Unless you actually have a need for it it seems like a rather arbitrary thing to bitch about. And don't they say that if you have that many rows, you should really be using a database application anyway?

    Why does the database program really suck?

    Care to be a little less blindingly vague?

    Let me get this straight: You're complaining about bloat, but you insist on retaining a feature no one uses? Isn't an unnecessary feature the definition of bloat?
