  1. the best part of your test on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    is that there is no option for non-Apple fans. One can either be objectively pro-Apple, or unfairly biased pro-Apple. Excellent test, because there are no other valid opinions about Apple :)

  2. Re:PPC on Red Hat Fedora Core 4 Test 1 Now Available · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All the more reason to use Debian on PPC. There is a gentoo port too these days. Personally I prefer OS X on this hardware, but there are still a few linux choices out there.

    That would only happen if they're watching the Simpsons on TV.

    No; just the ones that are blatant attempts to capitalize on the popularity of one of their trademarks.

    Pmps are often found on street crnrs slapping their btchs.

    It's a good idea if you cook a lot and you're too lazy to write recipes or keep track of what you put in things. Then you can just look at the pics and at least vaguely remember what you ate.

    Why you would want to see what other people eat is a different question....

    Neither of which make it non-proprietary. Try stealing the code and calling it SuperTunes and see what Apple's legal department does to you.

    Come on. It's silly I have to explain this; you know what they're talking about and so do I.

    What is silly is the abuse of language that you're engaged in when you change the meaning of the word "regime" to fit your own narrow political predilection. If you are a conservative, I am sure you can find many more meaningful points of contention between you and liberals, rather than whining about the use of a term in its proper manner. Just because you mean fascism when you say "regime" does not mean anyone else does. Check a dictionary.

    Bring back the Daystar Genesis! Four 604e's; that was screaming! Of course, that one didn't come from Apple, but it's not correct that there has never been a 4-proc Mac.

    Actually, with the Jobs RDF installed, the two dual-cores are actually recognized as 5 CPUs. The entire interface will appear snappier!

  17. OT: your sig on Google Punishes Self for Cloaking · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Regime" means "form of government." A regime can be fascist, democratic, monarchist, whatever, and still be a "regime". So it is perfectly reasonable to talk about the Bush regime, the Allawi regime, the Castro regime, whatever; it has nothing to do with how repressive it is (or isn't).

    And asking where God came from just shows me that you don't get the idea at all.

    Which idea is that? God, or Occam?

    Asking where God came from is precisely what proves his point; the number of required assumptions actually multiplies when you introduce a whole new host of assumptions like that.

  22. Re:Suicide jokes on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    The point is not to push people to kill themselves in the name of free speech; the point is you cannot prevent people from advocating suicide without infringing on free speech. Who decides what is incitement of suicide? Why not incitement of other dysfunctional and self-destructive behaviors too? Shall we punish websites that advocate the Atkins diet? Or those that advocate using Microsoft products? I remember a few years ago some weblogs that encouraged anorexia -- they were really horrible, telling the reader "you're fat" etc. and covered with pictures of sickly skinny women, etc. I thought the site was hateful and vicious, and not even perversely funny in any way. But I think that free speech requires you to put up with the existence of such sites. It's not the government's job to sort the dangerous messages from the reasonable ones.

    I felt sorry for him of course.

    Don't. Obviously, he wanted to be talked out of it, and his friend gave him some truth to think about. I'm sure he's better for it.

    Most people who think about suicide and talk about it and even most who try to do it are really crying out for help. If this guy really wanted to kill himself he would not be bringing it up at a ski trip. It's an attempt to communicate - a severely dysfunctional one, for sure, but nonetheless that's what it (usually) is.
