  3. Sounds interesting. on Super Principia Mathematica · · Score: 1

    Tell me stupid, but in my whole life, i have never read more clean, pure, self-explaining, extraordinary and even imaginary books, than math books. You cannot argue with 2+2=4. (in fact you could, but that's another story). It is only up to you to grasp the gods ideas, and have his message as clean as possible, unlike all the politicians,gamblers, criminals(politicians) and the rest of the mob who are doing their best to cloud your mind, and make you what...vote for them!!! Anyway, if this book is as good as it is described, it is worth readied by everyone, even by the math-less guys. In fact, especially by them.

  4. Re:No Drivers for Windows on Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    Believe me, i did, everything, installing, uninstalling, updating, patching, .....everything. The printer is working, but the scanner just hangs up...forever... My impression is that there is some different temporary folder naming/locations, or some security issue (even if i install and run the application with Admin rights), but anyway, it simply does not work. The scanner i mean. The funny part is that the windows standard scanner is working, but is missing a lot of options, so i end up of having a virtual machine.

  12. Re:You shouldn't have fired him then. on HP Sues Hurd For Joining Oracle · · Score: 0

    It looks like in CA these kind of clauses are void (with some little exceptions). So, if you are in such a deep s****, either try to work for CA based company, or to work in CA, or your ex-job to be in CA.

  16. Re:That's Great on Assange Rape Case Reopened · · Score: 0
    Let's see your LOGICAL skills:

    Assange was a media clown, who drummed up publicity and all this fanfare, then let us all down.

    Assumptions dear boy, does not mean FACT. By posting random sentences, and then declaring them FACTS, you prove only your arrogance at least, or stupidity at most.

    He revealed that a bunch of countries, like Pakistan - who tries to appear as a legitimate, stable, honest global citizen, but is in actuality a corruption-ridden cesspool of double-crossing snakes - and Iran were screwing us over. That was already known.

    Really? Known? By Who? I did not know. Should i? And how? Again, dear boy, your making assumptions, and what is worst, you are trying to assume that what is known by you, must be known by everybody???? Again, you are either too arrogant, or....

    And we also knew that there had been both collateral damage and friendly fire incidents.

    Again LIE. We did not know, because the military did LIE. After having these military documents, the real ones, NOW WE KNOW. And again, you are either..............
