  1. Re:Still doesn't answer "Why" on Gnome Goes JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Isn't the selling point of Python that it has so many libraries and so much stuff in them you don't even need to do any programming?

    No, that's Java.

  2. Re:*sigh*.... Java... on Oracle Responds To Java Security Critics With Massive 50 Flaw Patch Update · · Score: 1

    You were probably using a signed applet that run with your privileges.

    GP talked about unistalling the whole JRE.

  7. Re:Legacy of Turbo Pascal on What Early Software Was Influential Enough To Deserve Acclaim? · · Score: 1

    The compiler was fast, but the machine code it generated wasn't well optimized.

  8. Re:Porn, always the first to embrace new technolog on "Adults Only" OpenArena Now Playable On Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    There's no porn in it, it's just regular Open Arena. The "adult" part is just due to gore.

  9. Re:forgot RH7 on Alan Cox: Fedora 18 "The Worst Red Hat Distro," Switches To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Fedora Core 4 was about 2005.

  10. Re:You mean, like 5 second films? on Twitter's Vine App Ready To Bomb Internet With GIF-Like Videos · · Score: 1

    So much innovation ...

  11. Re:The copyright law has a good form! on Finland Is Crowdsourcing Its New Copyright Law · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Finnish law, but in Hungarian law it's legal to download, because the average person has no obligation to research the copyright status of things found on the internet.
    On the other hand uploading is illegal, but torrent users haven't been sued yet, only tracker operators.

  12. Re:So there is a 4th model - selling ads? on Open Source Software Licenses Versus Business Models · · Score: 1

    I would have said selling a service, selling hardware, holding out a tin cup.

    Selling a service can be a lot of things: support, web hosting, advertising

  13. Re:I'm sorry but he is wrong.. on Open Source Software Licenses Versus Business Models · · Score: 1

    Red Hat sells support, it's one of the blessed three.

    Google didn't produce opensource software (Android) until it got really big.

  14. Re:forgot RH7 on Alan Cox: Fedora 18 "The Worst Red Hat Distro," Switches To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Fedora Core 4 also had a fucked up compiler. You couldn't compile a kernel with it.

  15. Re:Libel? on 'Bankrupt' Australian Surgeon Sues Google For Auto-Complete · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It can be libel and true at the same time if it invades privacy, but I don't think it applies in this case.

  16. Re:I must agree on Fedora 18 Installer: Counterintuitive and Confusing? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's the job of the team working on it.

    Do you think this works just like a team in a corporation where tasks are assigned to them by a central authority?

    Fedora is made by Redhat, so yes.

  17. Re:What happened to you Linux... on Fedora 18 Installer: Counterintuitive and Confusing? · · Score: 1

    Fedora was always buggy as hell, it's officially a test platform for RHEL so I don't know what did you expect. If you want stability use Centos or a Debian based distro.

  18. Re:Xbox is finally making money on Will Microsoft Sell Off Its Entertainment Division? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that would make more sense.

  19. Re:Xbox is finally making money on Will Microsoft Sell Off Its Entertainment Division? · · Score: 1

    The online part is the money loser

    They're the only ones charging for P2P multiplayer, how could it be unprofitable?

  20. Re:Campbell's shows why closed source is bad on Corporate Hackathons: the Fine Line Between Engaging and Exploiting · · Score: 1

    It's not really about closed source Maya, 3ds Max, After Effects, AutoCad all are closed source but they have public APIs that don't change often and that enables 3rd party developers to write plugins for. And many do, and many can monetize it.

  21. Re:Simply put.. on How Do You Detect Cheating In Chess? Watch the Computer · · Score: 1

    Then tell me how is ignoring the repetition rules is relevant to developing a chess AI? You introduced stupid, unrealistic assumptions and then started complaining about offtopic comments.

  22. Re:Simply put.. on How Do You Detect Cheating In Chess? Watch the Computer · · Score: 1

    The point I was replying to is that it still makes the game non-NP. It's a finite game because it has finite states.

    You can search in finite time in a very big finite hash. You haven't thought this through.
