  1. OK, lemme get this straight. on Marketing Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Initially, Firefox was supposed to be Mozilla (or Netscape Navigator or whatever you wanna call it) with all the cruft stripped out, and with a nice extensions capability. That was good.

    Why is it now huge, and they want to make it huger? That's bad.

    Keep the browser light. Make it easy for people to assemble the browser, and add batches of extensions to add the features they want, and then move that personalized browser around. (I hate the half-hour I have to spend setting Firefox up to my liking on any new machine I'm going to use).

    Why is somebody who thinks Small is the New Big advocating making the browser bigger?

  2. Re:Can we declare Nintendo winners yet? on Wired Dissects Sony as PS3 Effort Falters · · Score: 1

    "And lets not forget the callibrarition"

    How can I forget it, if I don't have the faintest idea what it is?

  3. Re:My daily naive question on Wired Dissects Sony as PS3 Effort Falters · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "predating anything Nintendo produced."

    Where can I buy one of these PC controllers that detect absolute position, not relative motion?

  4. Re:I wonder.... on iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM Cracked · · Score: 1

    You count them, and get back to me, OK?

  5. Re:Oh, NOW you won't link to it? on iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM Cracked · · Score: 1

    Name me one person (person, not community) that espouses such a distinction. You can't, because they don't exist.

    A large group of people with differing opinions are not hypocrites.

  6. Re:Macs have this ability - via iMovie on iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM Cracked · · Score: 1

    "Christian music is poor."

    I fixed your punctuation there. I should also qualify by saying "modern Christian music is poor". I love me the Jesus, but boy do I ever not love "contemporary Christian" drivel.

  7. Re:The GPL is Viral, deflection not withstanding.. on Misconceptions About the GPL · · Score: 1

    "If I use any GPL code in my application, even one line, I have to release my application under the GPL license"

    That's like saying cookies are viral. If you eat a cookie, even just one, then you have a cookie in your tummy. If you don't want to have cookies in your tummy, all you have to do is remember to not eat them.

    If you don't want to license your code under the GPL, all you have to do is write your own damn code.

  8. Re:Is this guy a psychic? on Ten Gaming Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    Seeing as how it looks like Sony is going to be able to manufacture half of what they'd originally expected, I'd venture to say that "mainstream gamers" (IE those who won't be standing in line at Toys r Us) aren't going to be able to buy a PS3, so I'm not sure what you're after.

  9. Re:Is this some sort of joke? on Ten Gaming Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    "serious counsel gamer."

    A what?

  10. Re:In my book... on US Government Restricting Research Libraries · · Score: 1

    By "your kind of PR", you mean empty and meaningless?

  11. Re:Bush on US Government Restricting Research Libraries · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "He has not had an easy time."

    Wah. Myself, I don't think a President has much to do with an economy. They can certainly do things that make economic growth harder, and many presidents have spent a lot of time doing that. I also don't hold Bush "responsible" for 9/11.

    I do hold him responsible for every single decision he's made since, and there have been some surpassingly rotten ones.

  12. Re:Calling Bullshit on US Government Restricting Research Libraries · · Score: 1

    So, since Truman, the buck stops somewhere else?

  13. Re:White light? on The Light Bulb That Can Change the World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are they dimmable?

  14. Re:Does that mean no sex scenes? on Heinlein's Last Novel Coming in September · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, because Heinlein never wrote about sex. Or drinking.

  15. Re:Hmm... on PS3 Performance Downgraded Again · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because Sony is a bastion of the straight-talking.

    For the record, I think Kutaragi's babbling is going to be right up there with John "I'm gonna make you my bitch!" Romero in the List of Ill-Advised Advertising Schemes.

    You guys just let me know when you get Blu-Ray working, and the console costs less than $300. (If Sony survives that long.) In the mean time, I'll be playing with my Wii.

  16. Re:Good News ... but .... on Universal to Offer Music for Free · · Score: 2, Funny

    And here I didn't think Bel Biv DeVoe was still recording.

  17. Re:Artists rejoice! on Universal to Offer Music for Free · · Score: 1

    The artists were already screwed. Now they're just screwed-er.

  18. Re:Good News ... but .... on Universal to Offer Music for Free · · Score: 1

    DUDE. Go easy on Scissor Sisters. Monkey Baby is a great track.

  19. Re:Not security, but MORONDOM on Do Not Flush Your iPod · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, happens to the best of us. I might suggest that when somebody is saying something in a broadly sarcastic or ironic way, saying the same thing in a not sarcastic or ironic way is typically not much with the funny.

    There are exceptions, I'm sure, but I'd leave those to professionals. (IE not me.)

  20. Re:Google Geocode API inaccurate. on Beginning Google Maps Applications with PHP and Ajax · · Score: 1

    Did anybody allege that it WAS a definitive answer?

    ALL discussions don't have to end with calling people names. This one did, however. Prick.

  21. Re:No Death on How Strategy Guides Affected Gaming · · Score: 1

    I thought she did Space Quest too. But, yeah, mostly King's Quest made me want to hit.

  22. Re:No Death on How Strategy Guides Affected Gaming · · Score: 1

    That's pretty much exactly my thought on the subject.

    Although I think the cat-hair mustache phenomenon is going to be the next big fad, once we're done with pink toy poodles.

  23. Re:Today's "true" myths on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, because the only reason WE can't redirect the output from the dilithium matrix through the deflector array to close a rift in the space-time continuum and send Q back home is because we didn't build the Superconducting Supercollider.

    Star Trek is space opera. Entertaining? Sure. Scientific? Not so much.

  24. Re:No Death on How Strategy Guides Affected Gaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My brain clearly was not compatible with Roberta Williams' brain. That, coupled with the part about having to pick up literally every object in the game (especially the undetectible ones) in order to finish....

    Yeah. I understand that there were technological limits in the genre, but I found them unduly frustrating. I'd feel the same way if I tried to read a book with no proper nouns in it.

  25. Re:One thing is for sure on Steal This Film · · Score: 1

    Woo! Defensive much? I asked you a question. If you don't wish to answer my question, feel free to not do so.

    I think you need a hug, in any case. Come here, big guy!
