  1. Re:Chickens are coming home to roost on Office 2007SP2 ODF Interoperability Very Bad · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "One the one hand we require Microsoft to follow specs to the letter, and now we somehow fault them for doing so?"

    If you're following a specification to the letter, you're already breaking the spirit of the specfication.

  2. Re:Badly Specified Standard on Office 2007SP2 ODF Interoperability Very Bad · · Score: 2, Funny

    "We recommend your implementation does not set fire to the user's house, rape his dog nor feed chicken to the fish."

    - Oh, but boss, that's just a _recommendation_. So technically we could do the latter three and still be compliant with the letter of the specification!

    Unfortunately there's so few girls at those bars that they're often mistaken for gay bars.

    Poor young pig... Not only did he give her the human flu, the number he left was to some dry-cleaner's place. And I think they forgot to use protection. ;(

    Still sounds like a joke to me... are you sure you haven't had any recent trauma to the head that might explain your lacking humor recognition?

    Or pass us her phone number and we'.... err wait.

    I moved to Japan to get away from skandinavian girls. Forget it.

  8. Re:Temperature on Antarctic Ice Is Growing, Not Melting Away, At Davis Station · · Score: 2, Informative

    I second this question. There is some kind of inconsistency in this thread.

    No, that's just cause you weren't reading carefully enough to note the important parts of what he was saying.

    Global warming gets you colder winters at the poles because of the increased air circulation. He also claimed that the winters would become _shorter_, and I assume the summers then would also be warmer.

    Thus increased ice thickness wouldn't be evidence against global warming, and the theory is disprovable if you can show that the winters aren't becoming shorter.

  9. Re:probably meant on Strings Link the Ultra-Cold With the Super-Hot · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps they meant complex 3d, which is why it's easier to solve in 4d?

  10. Re:Non-moving clock on Work Progresses On 10,000 Year Clock · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The point of this clock isn't the accurate keeping of time, rather it is to create dreams for the living, of a time long after their own death.

  11. Re:EVE solved nothing. on Game Developers On Gold Selling · · Score: 1

    And at regular intervals we get whines from people who end up getting their wallets set to negative in the billions of ISK. Which means the account is pretty much screwed unless he can get donations or buy the ISK in the approved way.

    So the ISK from all those macro's are being tracked, and killing the problem at the root; players buying bad ISK.

  12. Re:Maybe it's not an EXCHANGE on Chimpanzees Exchange Meat For Sex · · Score: 1

    Ahh... yes. And the reason that guy is taking you out to dinner is because he's interested in the long-term survivability of your (future) offspring.

    You assume he was on the other side of the firewall....

  14. Re:Different types of Sci-Fi work. on The State of Sci-Fi MMOs · · Score: 1

    As Skadet points out above everyone wants to be the really cool character and not a minion. Where in outright fantasy everyone has potential to become something, regular Sci-Fi that doesn't really work.

    Most people want to be part of something greater than themselves. You're only a 'minion' if you're not respected, if you're only doing it for the material gains.

  15. Re:Wait... what... I 'm confused on EVE Online Developers Help Player Make Fan Movie · · Score: 2, Informative

    You are not their intended audience. At minimum, you need to have visited CCP's website once, and preferably tried the game.

    Just don't let anyone see you loot the wreck... IIRC the debris is the sovereign property of the state that launched it.

    I dread sitting in the same car as a driver who is questioning himself... 'Should I slow down, or should I not? The cliffs are rather steep, but then... If i drive at 120 km/h we'll be there 10 minutes sooner.'

    It is not the questioning that is to be dreaded, it is the hesitation, the inaction.
