  1. Re:I can't believe someone actually licensed this on Apple Defends App Makers Against Lodsys · · Score: 2

    They don't have to sub-license it to anyone, The app developers are merely using the system licensed, owned and provided by apple.

    NO!

    They should be allowed to profit from technology they INVENTED and then patented provided it is not obvious and there is no prior art. This patent is BULLSHIT that fails on both those grounds.

    There used to be a lot of races in China, most have been "ethnically cleansed" by the Han. The Han race is China is the Peoples Communist Party. Maybe things will go well, but they are pretty close to the Nazi party in the late 20's, so my hopes are definitely not up.

    If they stop exporting to the US, China will need a war to keep their people employed and keep the an actual revolution from removing the current "revolution".

    Not one bit of innuendo. Not one explicit offer. So much for "seduce". I was expecting some tabloid scandal here.

  8. Re:Bad pop-sci writing makes kittens sad on Dark Energy Confirmed By Australian WiggleZ Sky Scan · · Score: 2

    Our observations of the universe show that there is something affecting its structure on a massive scale. So we use dark energy and dark matter as placeholders until we can figure out what it is.

    Now, if we were able to scientifically observe and quantify magic, resurrections, and the power of prayer? Then yes, it would be similar to saying "god" exists. But until you do that, the two are nothing alike.

    That is exactly what dark energy is. Something that causes the universe to expand, but we really don't know what it is. It doesn't matter what specifically is, it is still called dark energy. Just like we have no idea what dark matter is, but it almost certainly exists.

  17. Re:And all for what? on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    Separation of concerns. the address belongs to the tab, not to the browser window. Clear or not, it more correctly goes in the tab.

    Plus, like I mentioned, you can now have a browser window that displays multiple tab sets in a tiled fashion without confusion.

  18. Re:idiot analysis on Fable III Dev: Used Game Sales More Costly Than Piracy · · Score: 1

    The point I was making is that if they wanted to get in on the "less than $69.95" game market that second hand sales represent, they should possibly think about selling games for less than 69.95. It is not a lost sale, it is a sale that the producer decided to not make by setting the price so high.

  19. Re:And all for what? on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    more likely it is to make it clear what tab the info in the address bar belongs to. Tabbed browsing means you have multiple addresses that can be displayed in the address bar depending on the active tab in the window. Since the address is for a specific tab, why not include it in the tab it is for?

    This can lead to a more flexible UI in the future, you could use an tiling display like the IDE for eclipse where you group tabs into panels.

  20. Re:idiot analysis on Fable III Dev: Used Game Sales More Costly Than Piracy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No value is "lost" in the second hand market. A lot of people find buying a game for $69.95 to be ridiculous, and will never ever do it. Those "sales" are already "lost" because the producers are placing the price higher than the value. Make games a better value and you will get more sales.

  23. Re:300,000 years to get there on Gliese 581d Confirmed as 'Habitable' Exoplanet · · Score: 2

    It wouldn't make much difference. Time dilation due to relativistic effects is asymptotic at c, and only significant close to it. Even if you hit 50% of c, over the course of a 300,000 year journey, 300,000 years is still an accurate estimate. However it does not matter at all, because they are talking about 300,000 years to travel only 20 light years, or significantly less than 1% of c.
