    If you weren't such a complete asshole, maybe they would have treated you better. I've brought in two iPads for screen defects and I don't think I've spent 45 minutes either trip and I went in the middle of the day each time.

    It would be good for the world if you were to walk off a short pier over a really deep lake. Seriously. You are an utterly retarded and fucked-up individual.

    Humans are the only species that indiscriminately kills each other over ideology. I hardly think that humans are somehow more "ethical" for sparing some mice in a medical experiment.

    I hate smoking (really the smoke), but it has been shown that smokers actually cost the healthcare less over the smoker's lifetime than the equivalent non-smoker. This is because smokers tend to die early due to complications from smoking. Non-smokers live (much) longer, and healthcare for the elderly swamps the costs of smoking.

    Are you publicizing it? No? Then why are you asking meaningless rhetorical questions?

  8. Re:Excuse me to be ignorant but on Samsung Sues Aussie Patent Office In Apple Suit, Apple Sues Back · · Score: 1

    I hate this. Why are supposedly intelligent people unable to properly categorize and make valid comparisons?

    iPhone is a device.
    Android is a platform.

    Is there a single phone family that runs Android that has more market share than the iPhone?
    Is there a single model running Android that beats any single model of the iPhone?
    Is there any cutting-edge model running Android that beats the iPhone 4s?

    I actually don't know the answer to any of those questions, but at least the comparisons are valid. I have a feeling Apple comes up a lot better in the numbers when you ask meaningful questions.

  15. Re:GPL *is* the most permissive license... on Samba 4 Enters Beta · · Score: 1

    GPLv3 is very restrictive with respect to developers. It's fairly open from the perspective of a user.

  16. Re:internals? in python? on Samba 4 Enters Beta · · Score: 4, Informative

    You are basically completely wrong about what the Samba team has done. All the daemons and such are still written in C (and/or C++). Did you really think that they would rewrite Samba from the ground up in an interpreted language?

    All they have done is provide a scripting interface with bindings for Python. I don't know if the interface is generic enough to be used by other scripting languages, but that's irrelevant. The point is that you can script Samba, not that Samba is a script.

    In other words, you don't have a reasonable response that is anything other than a personal preference that you wish you could force on everyone else.

    And a disturbing percentage think that anything you wrote matters.

    The fact is that throughout history, only a tiny minority were educated to the standards of their day. In modern times, the percentages are significantly higher and are increasing over time. That we are not at 100% does not matter. That we may never reach 100% also does not matter.

    I don't like it either, but all the domains seized were registered with a US company (as ultimately every .com is). The US had jurisdiction. If you don't want your domain seized by the US, don't register in a US domain.
