Why are so many people unable to read ANYTHING that's not pro-Fidel and anti-Bush without starting with the same old "Bush is bad, US is bad, everything against US is good" bullshit? Why don't such people just go and read something USEFUL about the situation there before saying that stupid "Mooreish" things about how Chaves is a good president and how he's just being good to the proletarians?
Remember, many journalists spent years trying to convince the world that URSS was wonderful, incredible, peaceful, some used to lie a lot (the problem is, fanatic leftists tend to believe in every single lie they're told, if Chomsky told them shit tastes like chocolate, they would believe so) . Those are the ones saying the same things about Cuba and Venezuela now.
Now, a typical response to my post: "you burgoise motherfucker, stop saying URSS wasn't a paradise, it was, but Bush ruined it! I know, I just watched that Moore 'documentary'! I heard it's completely fake, but hey, that does not change the truth! And I read that Chomsky book, it's full of accusations, and absolutely no references of any kind, he even accuses his dog and hist cat of being CIA agents, but I know he's telling me the truth too!"
Fuck you. I got the facts, because I actually CODED IN.NET. Yes, I tried to edit the.config file, but it didn't work very well. I had serious problems with GC , like pieces of memory never freed, and guess what, not my variables, but.NET specific stuff I couldn't control. I had web sessions misteriously disappearing. Such things actually HAPPENED to me. Stop whining, calling me a moron. I never said.NET is bad. But guess what? It's not perfect, it's not the right tool for every single job. Sometimes you're better off with J2EE (hint: clustering).
My experience with.NET:
- Build pages using Web Forms
- Watch the result in IE: just fine.
- In Mozilla: Horrible! Several CSS properties missing. (yes, missing, they were present in IE).
So, my so-called cross-platform web application became an IE-only application. It was not a web site, it was an interface to a power plant monitoring system (built with no Java/ActiveX/.NET, only HTML, Javascript, CSS... It even had zoomable charts. Yes, the chart was a static image:P
You just described the *THEORY*. If you think it explains everything, then I guess "the average man on the street" perceives reality better than you do. Stop thinking about what the patents office should do and focus on what it does.
This is fucking insane. I thought no one could file patents for *IDEAS*. Imagine if Thomas Edison could not just file a patent for the "light build" device, but patent "devices that use electricity to generate light", or even "devices that generate light without the need for fire".
"Hey, stop talking about China that way! They are just killing all the capitalist pigs! I watched the Moore's fraudumentaries and I see how bad Bush is. Well, I have never researched a single shit about it, but hey, it's Moore!"
I'm not even from the USA, but the giant differences between USA and China are SO fucking obvious I don't see how people compare them. Let me explain: 1) You complain about Bush. You release a documentary about him. It's full of bullshit, you have to be an idiot to believe it. You say Bush = Hitler, he is bad. What happened to you? Nothing 2) A chinese says communism isn't good, and said it loud. He says he hates the Chinese government. He will be jailed, at best.
I guess you should study the Bible a bit more. I know, there are many Biblical fundamentalists, and they are extremely boring. The Bible should be read carefully, because it's not just a simple book, it's no a Sidney Sheldon best-seller. Take the Revelations book, for example. It's very beautiful, if you understand it was written to be purely metaphorical. It's terrible, if you don't understand it.
Even many of the numbers have meanings. 7 = perfection 6 = imperfection (almost 7) 3 = whole So, 3x6 = the imperfection as a whole = 666
Food for thought: If you write something like: "This will take just a couple of minutes", in 2000 years, it may be understood as "I will do this in exactly two minutes". The same thing happens with the Bible.
Not to mention Winamp, Lotus Notes, MSN Messenger, Norton Antivirus, Avast, AVG, PSI, Pandion, Dreamweaver... Users don't care that much of two apps look different. For example, I'm yet to see someone bitching about the Messenger interface being inconsistent with the rest of the OS. Users *really* want consistency in Drag and Drop, Copy/Paste, etc. Users want to drag a picture from the file browser directly to Evolution, or OpenOffice, or X app, and see things work.
One friend of mine used to download some full movies with a dial-up connection. No joke, here in Brazil we had a totally free dial-up ISP (toll-free phone number too!), and he always connected to the ISP in the morning (30 minutes trying, way too many people), and left the computer downloading stuff all day long. The ISP didn't last long, of course. But he enjoyed it a lot;)
Is PHP really scalable at all? You *HAVE* to tweak PHP too, or else you would have lots of little php scripts opening and closing database connections like mad, bunches of almost-static content being reloaded all the time, extremely inefficient algorithms and unneeded string concatenations.
Squid is free, and you can use SQLStorage to store your custom objects.
In China you would be jailed, probably killed. If you hate Bush so much you aren't able to understand how that's different from USA, well, you need some therapy.
Many people just keep saying "Java scales better". However, for small (and even mid-sized) projects, Java's overhead is just unacceptable, and you end up using a BFG-9000 to kill an ant. I may agree that PHP code is sometimes terrible to maintain, but one has to understand that Java can be a PITA too. Many PHP coders don't even try to make their code at least well-organized, embedding whole queries and stuff like that inside the HTML code. That could be easily replaced by a template system, but it takes more time, so they just do things the fastest (and dirtiest) way.
Well, when you don't think enough, everything is retarded. Try to be intelligent, I mean, try really hard. Maybe one day you will be smarter, and then you'll understand why I made a "caricature" of the computer industry.
It means: Hey, you buy half-life and get this extremely addictive for free! You don't need a Super-Mega-Blaster-Hiper-Radeon-23489-That-Outperf orms-332222-For-0.0000000000000001fps-so-it-rules, buy a mere GeForce2 MX and you play it rather well. I like CS a LOT. In fact, I like Unreal Tournament 2003, and I think I CAN play it at home. I just won't run UT2003 at 16777216x8112223 and get 100000000000000fps, like these weird game maniacs want to. Graphic details don't care that much for me. The fun factor is everything
In Brazil you HAVE to pay the cable TV to get the cable modem service. Unfortunately, cable TV here is terrible. I had it for about 1 year, and the only thing I used to watch was Simpsons. The movie channels are stupid, you have to pay an extra for decent movies. Some people like the Sony channel, but I don't think it's worth the cost.
Oh, my bright minded fellow, please explain me, I don't know, and you are such intelligent, and I'm so ignorant... Oh poor me, I wish I was like you.
If I tell you an egg tastes like ink, it doesn't make sense. And if I can't convince you with good evidence, then I just can't say you're ignorant. I just don't know why people treat the damn Darwinism as a religion. It's JUST A THEORY, and it has its serious flaws. If you want to believe it, go ahead. I just said what I think.
I read some text on evolutionary theory, even some recent ones. Most of them are like this: Scientist 1 publishes something that looks reasonable. Then scientist 2 explains why it's wrong, and it's impressively simple to understand. 1 can't refute 2, so he/she just ignores 2.
Hum... First of all, I didn't see a single evidence (I mean evidence, not theory) of simple organisms evolving into really complicated ones (the "soup" theory doesn't count). How would a long sequence of mutations transform one simple creature into a human being? I used to believe that I came from a truckload of coincidences, but, as time passed, I realized it didn't make any sense at all.
Just think for a while (I know many people don't): You are right now reading this. You are in front of a computer. Then, you say to yourself: "Hey, I am a result of many, many, many years of senseless mutations. I am a mere coincidence". That is veeeeery, extreeeeeeeeemely against all the odds. Mutations generally cause serious problems. Nobody has shown you where are the many, many, many lost links. Almost every link in Darwinism is a lost link. Well, I gotta go now. That is what I think.
The whole Darwinism theory doesn't convince me at all. The "survival of the fittest" is OK, but it just won't convince me (or anyone that doesn't treat Darwinism like the absoulte truth) that we came from an incredibly long process of mutations. It's plain stupid and senseless.
Oh yeah. Those nasty brazilians! They are very dangerous. Can you imagine how bad can it be to let them get into #linux? IRC is REALLY dangerous.
One Brazilian guy talked to me these days. And I'm scared. They don't have laws against computer crime. Man, that's scary. I'm gonna sell my computer, it's too dangerous.

I seriously doubt Opera could patent tabbed browsing. It's not anything new, applications have had tabs for ages.
hehehe that was a good one :P
