  1. Re:Missing critical information... on 75% of Linux Code Now Written By Paid Developers · · Score: 1

    No, I'm serious. You'd think Windows couldn't stand on its own legs for two minutes before crashing due to the amount of bugs in the code, and you'd think Linux had no bugs whatsoever.

    My Ubuntu installation crashes a lot more than Windows. The crashes require a hard reset. It may be a misconfiguration, or the propietary NVidia drivers used in it, but still.

    Unfortunately for him he did it for Lo Pei.

  3. Re:Counseling gets the school off the hook on Police Called Over 11-Year-Old's Science Project · · Score: 1

    I'm also from Aus and was attracted to girls around age 11; other people must have been as well, since I can remembering playing truth or dare in scouts at primary school age, and one of the things commonly asked was "Who do you like?". I also know of one person that it didn't kick in to arount 17. It has also been mentioned here that the ages are usually from 8 - 14. Wikipedia says puberty usually begins at 10 for girls and 12 for boys completing 17-18. So it really seems to vary somewhat.

    How come everyone who repeats the Magic Niemoller Quote gets modded up?

    I believe you answered your own question sir.

  8. Re:Missile Command on How Video Games Reflect Ideology · · Score: 2, Funny

    It was pretty scary. During the project and for six months after the project, I'd wake up in a cold sweat because I's have these dreams where I'd see the missile streak coming in and I'd see the impact. I'd be up on top of a mountain and I'd see the missiles coming in, and I'd know it would be about 30 seconds until the blast hit and fried me to a crisp.

    I tell you, ASCII character nightmares are the worst.

  9. Re:Textbooks on Will Books Be Napsterized? · · Score: 1

    Apparently you aren't in an academic environment. You should see the USB sticks full of pdf and djvu textbooks that are being passed around.

    How many are actually used though? And to what degree?
