  1. Re:all your document on First Look: Microsoft Office 2013 · · Score: 2

    You need good code and a functional interface. Not a pice of "art" designed by a wannabe retard that thinks that is good because looks good. It is good when it works without crashing. Go and change your Armani suit and your Gucci shoes for jeans and t-shirt and write some code (If you can)

    That is just bad design!. Bad design in one are normaly relates to sloppy practices in the whole team. Nothing to be surprised at, after all, we are talking about M$

    The "look" of an application is as relevant as what Ballmer had for breakfast. I do not care for it. What I want to see is good code behind the "look". Whoever cares about the look is likely to wear Armani suits and Gucci shoes (Or dreams about being able to afford them). I need good code that does not crash and keeps my data mine and not M$.

  5. Really? on Former Pentagon Analyst: China Has Backdoors To 80% of Telecoms · · Score: 1

    Coming from a "former" Pentagon analyst, can this information be trusted? Or has the same flavor as the weapons of mass destruction that Iraq had that triggered the invasion?

    Another one that makes claims without the courage of identifying himself / herself. Perhaps because you don't want your acquaintances to know of your big lies?

  7. Re:more herb, less derp on Bloodsucking Parasite Named After Bob Marley · · Score: 1

    The light of truth? That makes me think of what happened on June 22nd, 1633 on the great hall of the convent of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.... If you don't know what I'm talking about, use google and you will find out that the Inquisition tribunal forced Galileo to kneel down and agree to their claim of earth being the center of the universe. He did it, not because the church was right, but because being a man of science, he understood that he was more important as a live man of science than as a dead martyr... Christianity has never been on the side of science. Religious organizations in general prefer to keep people ignorant as it is then possible to "explain" natural phenomena using supernatural (Smart people should read BS) causes. Galileo was not the only one that has been silenced by a religious organization, Copernicus followed and even today religious organizations push to favor organized ignorance onto the unfortunate and uneducated masses. People that look for the truth about the universe and life have been prosecuted and silenced for thousands of years and even today to speak out for real knowledge displeases religious people and scientists are being threatened and even bombed by religious zealots.

  14. Re:Why do anarchists hate science? on Trying to Untangle Anarchist Attacks On Scientists · · Score: 1

    Rather than idiots, I would say they never had the privilege of a proper education (Not schooling, but education in the Mark Twain way). The same applies to religious fanatics, specially creationists. A proper education focuses on reasoning instead of just memorizing a list of facts that lack relevance in the real world. If we want people to stop behaving in a violent way, teach them the consequences of both being violent and being civilized. I know is a long term solution, but educational systems (Feels like an oxymoron) have been decaying for decades, in the process producing automats rather than individuals.

  16. Re:Who cares? on Student Creates World's Fastest Shoe With a Printer · · Score: 1

    Number one, no "infinite amount of free energy" has been created here. The only advancement is to create a very expensive custom made shoe. Who is going to use it is irrelevant as will not provide help to those fellow human beings that need it. This is just another typical pursue of vanity. Energy being wasted in shallow and unimportant research (And I use that word very loosely here). If he had developed a way to provide electricity for free for the people on underdeveloped countries, I would agree to vast amounts of energy, but infinite? I think you are in dire need of a dictionary (That is a book that list words and their meaning in alphabetical order).

    A properly coded operating system would not execute an unknown application without firs asking the user. Furthermore, a correctly build operating system would not allowed applications executed by an unprivileged user to gain control of the operating system. As you see your comments lack validity. As far as the website you mentioned, that advice will only work with systems that have been badly configured with the intention of allowing an intruder to penetrate them. I suggest you get familiar with real operating systems and stop playing with what in the computer world qualifies as “toddler operating systems” that lack strength and maturity to operate in an unprotected environment.

    Perhaps more people should take the 22nd of June out of work. My boss was surprised (He is a creationist) when I told him that I wanted that day off work because I was commemorating the day that Galileo was forced to bow to the Inquisition tribunal at the great hall on the convent of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. He didn’t want o give me the day off, but I said “If someone ask you for a day out for a religious holiday you have no problem approving. This is starting to feel slightly discriminatory.” He shut up and sign my request. Very unhappy creationist that day!

    So, sitting high up in a helicopter, with powerfuil weapons makes it OK to be incompetent and unable to identify real threats? Your excuse is so pathetic that I'm not surprised you posted it as an annonymous cowaard. Those civilians were assasinated. The US government knew about it and kept it quiet. If the cammera looked like an RPG to you, is because you have never seen the real thing. I'm glad you were sitting in your chaur doing nothing. People like you are better doing nothing
