  1. No. on Time For Universal Data Plans? · · Score: 0, Troll

    And, by the way, there's more to the world than USA.

  2. Re:another solution to an already solved problem.. on Visualizing System Latency · · Score: 1

    You're = your in this case. Other than that, nice comment.

  3. Gordon? on Smokescreen, a JavaScript-Based Flash Player · · Score: 5, Informative

    What about Gordon? That one *is* open-source. Is it different from what TFS refers to in terms of goals (not current state)?

  4. Re:Chameleon-Like Behavior? on Chameleon-Like Behavior of Neutrino Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you'd prefer the non-falacious "chamaleon-skin-color-like behaviour". Though that might not fit it either.

  5. Only the engine on Physics Platformer Gish Goes Open Source · · Score: 5, Informative

    As noted, only the engine has been open-sourced. All data (levels & gfx) are still available only upon buying. Not that such is bad, but I thought I'd share it with those idiots who didn't RTFA.

  6. Re:What? on Wine 1.2 Release Candidate Announced · · Score: 1

    Most things do work. I've been using Wine ever since I made the switch to GNU/Linux. Sure, I may have to hack it sometimes to produce desired results, but it mostly works.

  7. Re:It's just not for regular users on Are Googlers Too Smart For Their Own Good? · · Score: 1

    This isn't just "funny", it's actually insightful -- if you get the true meaning. Either that or I'm imagining things.

  8. Re:Battery life issues will be fixed in upcoming r on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 0, Troll

    Darn, my last mod point just went away! Someone up him with informative, please!

  9. Re:"Traditional Operating System" on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 3, Funny

    One that's old, stupid, popular and yet used by millions of people.

  10. Re:The Insecurity of OpenBSD on OpenBSD 4.7 Released · · Score: 0

    I think this should be modded up. It isn't criticism, it's looking inside a system -- thinking about it, analyzing it and attempting to improve it.

  11. Good on OpenBSD 4.7 Released · · Score: 1

    Now go RTFA before you post.

    Darn, FAILED.

  12. Simple solution on Microsoft Accuses Google Docs of Data Infidelity · · Score: 1

    Just edit wherever you want and save it as PDF. If you need RTE, then find something that suits everybody, but that's a different case. Other than that, PDF is, and always will be, my reference format for document interchange.

    As to TFA, one can only say "Oh my, Google and Microsoft are fighting!...Go figure."

  13. So.. on The Parking Meter Turns 75 Today · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Parking Meter: Haunting humankind for 75 years.

  14. Sons of Bitches on Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source" · · Score: 1

    That's all I can say. I've had enough of them and their lies.

  15. Slashdotted on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    NASA's contribute has been taken by a slash and a dot!

  16. Simple, effective and useful on What Every Programmer Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic · · Score: 1

    Excellent. The article may not be *that* specific or lengthy, but it helps out most people that have a simple problem. People with more than simple problems should know the standard word-per-word already ;)

  17. Re:Wrong wrong wrong... on Backdoor Malware Targets Apple iPad · · Score: 1

    Gotta love myself.

  18. Re:Wrong wrong wrong... on Backdoor Malware Targets Apple iPad · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Because he uses his subjectivity to call those who bought the IPad idiots. I agree with him, it seems ridiculous to me that people just need more and more, when they could perfectly live with less.


    Watch as I get flamebaited as well, you'll get what I mean.

  19. No. on Confessions of a SysAdmin · · Score: 1

    No, it doesn't relate to all of us. Not many of us, I'm sure, though I can't speak for everyone. Those are the complaints of someone who is mad -- and is in his right to be. We may not like pathetic GUI designs and restrictive software but, in the end, the computer still is that magical logical machine. That's my view -- is it yours?

  20. Re:Valve servers available for Linux for years on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    INFORMATIVE? INFORMATIVE? GO. FUCK. YOURSELF. That's just pure bashing with next to zero arguments. I get what you mean, but I think that modding that informative is typical of someone eager to have his/her fascist ideal come true.

  21. Re:Using what video drivers? on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    Video drivers for Linux aren't that crappy. I achieve good performances with Nvidia cards and their proproietary drivers. The same machine running Windows and Linux (both quite lightweighted) show me that Linux is faster in some games running through Wine (OGL). I've also tested native games on either platform and seen the same results. Of course, there are other factors here...

  22. Re:Maybe so... on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    Well, I get what you mean, but that's not what my method teaches them. My method may have that as a basis (the fear of them), as well as other arguments (such as the fact that no sudden changes should be made to a human or the fact that there is a much higher probability of them understanding the issue this way). However, the method itself is that of slowly trying to teach them into this, not explicitly stating the 'why' -- sure they can understand the 'why', but if we don't spread it around like monsters we might be safe. The real question is: What tells us that what we do is actually better? Why can't they be right? I personally think they're not, but that doesn't mean that we are; besides that, I'm an anti-religious idiot, who would care about anything that I have to say? It's not like...I sell magazines or have the looks to be elected and trying to change a people's POV...

  23. Re:The media really are pussies on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    You may be right there, but such doesn't prevent us from trying and change the prediction. After all, we control our future -- it's too bad that few of us actually have the brains to go in the right direction.

  24. Re:The media really are pussies on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    Not me, not you, our ancestors. You know, those religious fucktards that killed each other because of religion itself? Learn your history and honor it, then find a username and post with that. What we -- yes, WE -- did was truly awful and is, if I may, part of the reason as to why I oppose to religion.

  25. Re:The media really are pussies on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    There's a problem: it doesn't depend on us. It'd all be fine if we could all cope with the fact that we're mocked at; but the muslims have a different culture and some of them aren't used to coping with that. What's the problem with not coping? Banging is the problem, because they can cause terror.
    You can't just come to /. and say: "Grow up, you shouldn't bother with that.". You need to understand that they won't listen to you and that they can effectively attack people because of it, as I see it.
    We need to make them see that, indeed, people should control themselves when they're mocked at. On the other hand, you can't just skip over the whole "making see" process and suddenly start showing them Muhammad in a bear suit -- that's just ridiculous. Imagine you're used to never being mocked and, suddenly, without knowing that's possible, or even acceptable, people start stripping your clothes off and laughing, what could happen? Bad things, because you weren't taught how to behave in such a situation.

    Many Muslims are in a situation similar to what we went through with Crusades and the like. It's a phase (and they aren't nearly as bad as we were back then, really) -- it's a transition phase and we need to help them go through it; baby steps.

    So, you see, I agree with you, just not with the method that was implicit in your text. And this applies to all pseudo-religions, as I, myself, am an atheist-bastard.
