  1. Re:Wrong question on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Linux Telecommuting Tools? · · Score: 1

    Pidgin can hook up to an OC server, there's a plugin for it (not bundled with pidgin though, download it separately).
    I remember using it about a year ago, inside a very very large corp that used OC.

  2. This was EA's idea in the first place. on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 1

    This was, most likely, EA's idea in the first place: gather attention by showing gay relationships in Mass Effect 3, and have people think "how tolerant".
      - Almost every main female character has bigger boobs in ME3 than they did on previous games. Some have more curved bodies. It quite hard to avoid noticing it.
      - Sexier females are more present in the posters/ads.
      - The main female human (Ashley) isn't ugly any more.
      - The game has a no-brainer "kill 'em all" multiplayer mode, to attract the masses that just like to shoot stuff.
      - You have to "save the earth", OMG!

    Adding gay content was just to attract even more attention for another, previously unexploited, demographic.

    The anus isn't in the exact same position in the male and female bodies either. One of them if sort of further to the front. Look it up on wikipedia, they even have pics.

  4. Re:So, protect you from *yourself*?? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 1

    EA should state "It's a test for all those christian out there, for them to avoid temptation, the same way the can have out-of-marrige-sex in-game". As you said: you have tu pursue such relationship in game. I completed the entire game (Mass Effec 3), all bonus quests, etc, etc, and never noticed the posibility of same-sex relationships (though I surely would have noticed if I'd played female :P)

    It's because of google's slogan: "do no evil". How could you not truste a company that friendly?

    While I agree in this point, how is becoming a windows phone manufacturer any different?

    Buy a spare N900 while you still can! That's what I'm about to do!

  8. What about the atmospheric presure on Scientists Build World's Most Sensitive Scale · · Score: 1

    Being so precise, won't the weight of the air in the room affect the results of the measurement?
    Wouldn't you need to use this in a vacuum for it to be useful? Hell, won't undetectable temperature changes affect the air preasure and alter the results as well?

  9. Re:First on Ashton Kutcher To Play Steve Jobs In Upcoming Film · · Score: 1

    I hadn't even heard of it before (Argentina). I'm inclined to think most countries *dont* have such a rule.

  10. The real news on Google, Amazon, Microsoft Go East For Network Gear · · Score: 1

    The real news for me here, was that they were using US network equipment, instead of cheaper equipment from elsewhere. I'm honestly surprised!

    I just interpreted "UTC". Its pretty close anyway, and it just say "night", not any precise time in the summary.

  18. Re:portability on Javascript Game of Tron In 226 Bytes · · Score: 1

    That's odd. Maybe you should report this to the dev, with your FF version, platform, etc. I played quite a while with FF and it worked fine. The controls are i,j,k,l, and you *may* need to click the black canvas to focus it.

  19. Re:I don't think so... on Animating From Markup Code To Rendered Result · · Score: 1

    First of all, this isn't targeted to professionales (from you comment, I guess you do this for a living, or at least, at a very high level).
    Secondly, it allows users to quickly relate pieces of markup with the resulting view itself. It makes navigation and relating both views easier for less-professional users.

  20. Re:portability on Javascript Game of Tron In 226 Bytes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It works on chrome and firefox. This isn't a portability issue: normally developers add huge amounts of code to support IE. If it needs tweaking for IE, it would probably be 50% larger.

  21. Re:Damn. on Javascript Game of Tron In 226 Bytes · · Score: 1

    No it's not. It works fine under firefox. I'd write down what version I'm running, but I can't type that fast.
    You can also look at the code, there's nothing non-standard in it.

    Why is this so underrated? It's quite clear what the point was; "ICQ had poke first".

    As opposed to the current method, that involves removing a lid and placing a different SIM card into the phone?

    The N950 (developer only) and N9 (publicly available) have meego actually, not maemo.
    The interface is a bit different. Check out some videos on youtube... meego's interface is more appelaing to average user than maemo's, just that.
