    For that, you need whitehouse.com.

  3. Re:A possible explanation: on USPTO Won't Accept Upside Down Faxes · · Score: 1

    I always wonder why in several very common fonts, the lemniscate character *is* actually a rotated eight. If you're going to define its own symbol in Unicode, why can't you bother actually drawing it correctly?

    Yeah! Waste our tax dollars! That'll really fuck 'em!

  5. Re:Something more substantial than Wikipedia ? on Mozilla Accepts Chinese CNNIC Root CA Certificate · · Score: 1

    While that may be true, pointing it out is hardly the verifiable evidence he is looking for.

  6. Re:Free? on How Many SUSE Subscriptions Can You Get For $240M? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Seems like it would be an apt label, as Novell apparently has some patent agreement with Microsoft. And SCO, which did that whole "Linux is infringing patents" thing, bought DR-DOS from Novell and is working with SUSE (Novell) on some standardization of Linux, which sounds like a terrific proprietary-profit-bastard idea.

    Interesting how there's articles about Webkit constantly but it doesn't really have much penetration.

  9. Re:What service.... on Using Windows 7 RC? Pay Up Or Auto Shutdown Warned · · Score: 1

    And the forum. I challenge you to find a single n00b Linux question that isn't answered specifically and correctly on that site. And in the end, that's definitely what Linux needs: Easy help for everybody who's switching over who doesn't have a clue.

  10. Re:Every two hours, eh? on Using Windows 7 RC? Pay Up Or Auto Shutdown Warned · · Score: 1

    Very true. Hey, you haven't lived until you've seen a computer boot directly to a bluescreen. Or freeze up and become completely unresponsive while running ScanDisk afterwards. It's like some kind of demented "Sup Dawg."

    Maybe it's afraid of the dark. After all, how can it be sure that it will wake up again?

  12. Re:time... on Using Windows 7 RC? Pay Up Or Auto Shutdown Warned · · Score: 1

    Kind of depends on the value of P, doesn't it? Maybe it's i, because after all, people's expectation that they can continue using XP because it will keep receiving security updates until the end of time is crazy.

    No, that would be 35,000. Per install.

    what gives Rogers the right to force people who are PAYING for their phones to require them to update.

    Probably a clause in the contract.* Sounds like a perfect situation to be covered under "...or any other changes to this policy as we deem necessary."

    So are you saying you'd rather try your luck with non-legit music files that pay for legal songs encrusted with DRM? And you're saying the DRM'd music is sucky a lot of the time anyway?

    I have run over 10 apps in the background on my iPhone (jailbroken of course)

    And for those of us who *don't* want to void our warranty and potentially fuck over the phone...

    If you're going to hack one device and then compare it to another that isn't hacked, you might as well start comparing a factory-bought Chevy truck with a Ford truck that you mounted a fully-functional warp drive on. There's no point to it.

    Oh crap. Ad---I just got that. If he's trying to sell the renderer thing as a product, yes, it sucks. My apologies.

  24. Re:Skylab Shreds on Crazy Firewall Log Activity — What Does It Mean? · · Score: 1

    Why is the ad "piss-poor"? If it's on a technical basis, yeah it didn't convey much in the way of information, but it didn't sound like he was really trying to convey much. Which is a different reason to be displeased with him. And if you're criticizing it on an artistic basis...well, I don't see why everything in front of our eyes must be smoothly rendered with swooping camera angles that cause some kind of visual orgasm when you see it. It was perfectly sufficient for me in that regard.
