    Well, as long as he isn't crapping on everything.

  2. Re:Tetris in one line of BBC Basic on How Does a Single Line of BASIC Make an Intricate Maze? · · Score: 1

    Cramming everything into one line does not magically reduce the number of statements used. I could write a combined jquery, extjs, yui, and prototype all on one line, too.

  3. Re:Cause? on Global Warming On Pace For 4 Degrees: World Bank Worried · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who gives a crap about whether it is "natural" anymore? The overall effect is quite undesirable, so regardless of whether we're causing it, we damn well ought to be doing something to counteract it, if we care to survive.

  4. Re:When Hostess closes.. on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 0

    And what happens to those pensions if they agree to the contract that has no pensions? Congratulations on being an effing dimwit.

    Given AMD's crashing stock price, that might actually be feasible.

    Intel Corp ... suggested by Wall Street analysts as potential suitors

    I realize it says "Wall Street analysts", but what utter moron even among that crowd of utter morons could possibly think having effectively all desktop CPU production controlled by a single company would be a good idea?

    It's called VLC. The problem is the stupid legal situation.

  8. Re:Are we looking for developers or for mass adopt on Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far · · Score: 1

    Do you double click the button on your radial saw to turn it on? What about your toaster? Your coffee maker? Nope, they're all single click.

    Single-click is just too normal for the crowd of morons that think computers are toys.

  9. Re:170 replies and nobody understands what's going on Apple Loses Trademark Claim Against iFone in Mexico · · Score: 1

    Generally accepted behavior is to be a scumbag. I'm guessing you're too dumb to see the problem.

    Oh damn, you didn't know! Try looking it up before you stick your foot in your mouth!

    The English noun evolution (from Latin Ä"volÅtiÅ "unfolding, unrolling") refers to any kind of gradual change.
    It is used in biology, of biological evolution, in economics, historical linguistics, and many other technical fields where systems develop or change gradually over time, e.g. stellar evolution, cultural evolution, the evolution of an idea, metaphysical evolution, spiritual evolution, etc.

    Did you know that stupidity is contagious, and your stupidity has grown from others' stupidity?

    Are you trying to injure yourself? My wrist is barely angled 30 degrees to be able to easily use all five fingers on my vertical screen.

  12. Re:Real Concern on Congressman Warns FTC: Leave Google Alone · · Score: 1

    The problem here is that they're not stifling competition. They have no obligation to assist the competition.

  13. Re:Real Concern on Congressman Warns FTC: Leave Google Alone · · Score: 1

    When it becomes an "unfair trade practice" to be better than somebody else, you end up with classrooms where everybody is held back for the idiot sitting in the back of the room sending texts on his phone instead of paying attention to the lessons. I, for one, do not think that's a good idea.

    I like socialism and taxes and regulation, but sitting on a genius to make sure they're not better than somebody else is plain stupid.

    Name one application that needs a 12 GHz CPU.

    For future reference in making idiotic comments, your argument automatically fails when you say "don't answer this with a valid answer, because that's too easy".

    You forgot his intermediate plans to enforce Sharia Law (whatever that means)...

    Of course it would, because people like you are unwilling to do anything about it.

    Cutting out the cancer is not wrong. It may be painful, but that doesn't make it wrong. You may note that they're going through the legal process, rather than hiring assassins to exterminate all Apple executives. They're doing the right thing in the right way.

  24. For Science! on Apple iPad 2 As Fast As the Cray-2 Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Decades later, technological advancements have been made! Everyone (especially those brainwashed Apple cultists) was astounded when science decided it wasn't going to sit there and do nothing!

  25. Re:Is USB really better? on iPhone 5 Scorns Standards Promise To European Commission · · Score: 4, Informative

    Hardly. Any "smart phone" has plenty of CPU power to be a USB host, and various Android devices have been promoting that feature for several months.
