    Because, you are an apostrophobe.

  2. Re:GPS troubles on U.S. Moves to Kill Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    So I guess this whole steenking debate is over whether you should of made that constant a variable or can leave it as a constant! (As an aside, it's a bit late now to be saying "no more leapseconds", unless, at the same time, we ignore the ones that have already gone by.

  3. Re:Riiiight. on China Launches New Search Engine · · Score: 1

    agreed, i did a search for 'hypereal' 'infinitesimal' and got back just two related entries followed by pages of really bizarre pr0n that from the links looked like pseudo-gibberish non-pr0n (if you know what I mean). Google may be losing its edge but at least its results are in the ballpark.

  4. Re:On the Written Word on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    Yeah right...

    Oriental ideograms are pictorially delineated by default and form morphemological units. Same way we don't have t o p u t s p a c e s b e t w e e n l e t t e r s.

  5. Re:The Law of Scale on Microgenerators Coming Soon to Electronics Near You · · Score: 1

    Is all this true?

    It can't all be bad. Electronic miniturisation seems to be mostly okay so why not mechanical?

    hey, you funny, me laugh long time!
    why no funny mod points for you?
    you sliced right throught their argument with your pointy edgey riposte.
    this posting business is a right lark.
    what was the topic again?

  11. Re:I hereby forbid any more Tron jokes on TRON Enters Alliance With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    how is this post modded as flamebait? as predicatable as the nerdy tron jokes is the nerdy modding.

  12. Re:A thinly veiled political rant, actually on The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed · · Score: 1

    yo, i sympathise. but don't be humiliated, be humble; maybe you had an inflated view of your self-worth when you were worth more? it's a tad insulting to those that do mow lawns and clean toilets... i see where you're coming from though (to wax a tad cliched).
    all the same, i'm not even american and i hope any democrat gets in. i'm not kidding, the whole world is going to be biting its nails come US election time. this of course is a shame as the whole world has better things to be doing than worrying about yankee neo-fascism.

  13. Re:A moment... on LWN.net Closing Down · · Score: 1


    I would say, that losing a weekly slice of informed jounalism, relating to a number of topics that greatly interest me, is deeply saddening.

    I suggest that you learn where to begin, think twice about posting and then think again.

  20. Re:Oh, Sure, Great. But I wonder... on Justice Department Decides To Break Up Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, never thought about it that way. (Now I remember why I started reading /. in the first place.) It would be nice to see if GNU/Linux/*BSD could topple Redmond/Adobe/BigCorp through use of the GPL, stupidly low pricing, advocacy and hard work. But now, we'll never truly know.

    Re: a cogent explanation as to how, if Windows is a monopoly, spinning it off into its own company will stop it from being a monopoly, errrrr :)

  21. Re:I've been reading the judgement... on Justice Department Decides To Break Up Microsoft · · Score: 1

    punishment for breaking the law generally involves some loss of freedom, for some odd reason -- the reasoning has something to do with preventing future occurances of illegal behaviour.

    no, the reasoning has something to do with the very religious notion of paying for your past transgressions. the only way you could possibly prevent future occurances of illegal behaviour is of course by incarceration for life, lobotomy or execution. all these are tried and tested methods.
