  1. Re:Confused on Belgian Newspapers Delisted On Google · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't understand the logic behind the whining of these newspapers. First they sue Google for making their content discoverable. Then the court orders Google to remove the content. Google complies. Now the papers are whining about Google removing their content. What exactly is it that they want ?

    I think they want to have their cake and eat it too.

    They want to appear on Google web searches, but they don't want to be aggregated on Google News.

  2. What this project needs RIGHT NOW on The Army's $10M Spy Bat Still Too Big · · Score: 4, Funny

    There are several things that this project needs RIGHT NOW in order to be successful.

    First, a whizkid plucked out from high school, who will be separated from his mommy for the first time ever.
    Second, a crazy roommate who doesn't care about authority figures
    Third, a mysterious man who lives in their closet
    Fourth, an annoying dude who tries to suck up to his professor
    Fifth, a charming young lady, interested in the whizkid, who just happens to be hyperactive
    Sixth, an ambitious and immoral professor who's tricking the innocent to UNKNOWINGLY CONTRIBUTE to a MILITARY PROJECT
    Seventh, said professor's inordinate hatred for popcorn -- oh wait...

  3. Where's the installer? on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 1

    I've been looking for some time, but I can't find any installers at the FTP sites or the wiki nodes. Is there something I'm missing?

  4. Other cute sites on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 1
  5. It's all a lie! on Researchers Say Human Brain is Still Evolving · · Score: 1

    There's no such thing as evolution. Evidently, those "researchers" haven't been touched by His Noodly Appendage.

  6. Google Talk is unencrypted, TLS or not. on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    Au contraire. Right now, Google Talk is unencrypted.

  7. Isn't this just an example of dither? on Musical Wings Reduce Aircraft Stall Risk · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If added noise makes the flight smoother, isn't this dither?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither

  8. Re:china on New Rodent Species Found · · Score: 1

    I think it's more like, "We eat everything with four legs, except chairs and tables. We eat everything with wings, except airplanes and helicopters."

  9. Not a tactical move on South Korean Gov't. Advocates Linux · · Score: 1

    Mod parent down, -1 cynicism.

    http://www.software.or.kr/ will be taking requests for funding. Software.or.kr is the place that's sponsoring the KLDP CodeFests (all night FOSS hacking parties) in Korea.

  10. Cephalopods are mollusks on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalopod

    Mollusks include cephalopods. No need to be pedantic. :)

  11. Octopuses is the correct English plural on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 2, Informative

    So everyone is speaking Greek when they talk about an octopus? I don't think so. Greeks don't say octopus when they want to talk about eight-armed cephalopods with no tentacles and no shell.

  12. I'd disagree. on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    The calculator didn't phase out the abacus in Asia, and the PDA is still to replace the memopad.

    Unless things start getting *much* more ubiquotous, I'd say the DVD is here to stay much longer.

    PS. First post?

  13. It's time to kill Microsoft. Word. on Time to Kill Microsoft Word? · · Score: 1

    Smashing title! Yes, it's time to kill Microsoft. Word.

    Oh, wait..

  14. GPL did stand up in court, didn't it? on IBM Moves To Enforce GPL By Summary Judgement · · Score: 5, Informative
    So much for the GPL 'never being tested in court.'

    It stood up in court recently in Germany, AFAIK

    The German GPL Order - Translated from GROKLAW

  15. What about Lord Darcy? on What Are You Looking At? · · Score: 1
    Remind anyone of that scene in the movie 'Wild Wild West' where they extract the last thing the dead guy saw?"

    Not really, but it does remind me of an episode from Lord Darcy by Randall Garrett.
  16. cdparanoia updates? on Vorbis And Musepack Win 128kbps Multiformat Test · · Score: 1

    Monty, I think I remember you mentioning that cdparanoia was designed to work with CD-ROM drives that had 1 meg or less of cache. Most CD-ROM drives have more than 1 meg now.

    Will an update for modern drives be released, if cdparanoia is not so difficult to hack..?

  17. What about cross-polination? on Vorbis And Musepack Win 128kbps Multiformat Test · · Score: 1

    It's nice to hear that, but is cross-polination going to happen?

    How much are you willing to delegate to the non-xiph tuning crew?

  18. Re:Let's reignite the fight! on Andy Tanenbaum on 'Who Wrote Linux' · · Score: 1

    I always had the idea that Windows NT was micro, based on Mach.

  25. ...and kbps is, by definition.. on Music Companies Bemoan New High-Cap Portables · · Score: 1
