  1. Re:When do we get compression? on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 0

    Nobody even compresses files. We have fast internet and big hard drives. Viva Tar (no gz).

  2. Re:License/Source Code on Stanford's Open Source Human Motion Software · · Score: 0

    Even getting the API and binaries is a long process. You need to signup, confirm email, login and answer strange questions like "How do you expect to use the software". My answer was : "to take a look at it!!" It totally felt academic! BTW I have worked on the simulation of human behaviors and movements for about 6 years and this package could be a very good thing. But considering the license and the way it is being provided, I will only take a look at it.

  3. Re:Some group in China is happy on Mitsubishi Hack Stole Nuclear, Defense Data · · Score: 0

    They needed designs of Fukoshima reactor. They want to build a copy in China!

    Not until everyone throws up...

    Just take a look at the snapshot of my newsreader : http://i55.tinypic.com/2sbx305.jpg

  5. Re:16GB RAM and GCC optimization on Android ICS Will Require 16GB RAM To Compile · · Score: 0

    It isn't? I upgraded my PC to 4G of RAM just a few weeks ago.

    BTW I do a lot of software development and also academic simulation (using Matlab and my own simulation software which handles hundreds of thousands of intelligent autonomous agents ). I am a computer science researcher by the way.

    Windows 1.0-3.1 program manager? DOS Shell?

  7. Re:Failed to launch a monkey? on Iran Tried and Failed To Launch a Monkey Into Space · · Score: 0

    Can you tell me who are the non-existent republican guards? There is NO republican guards in Iran. You have mistaken that with IraQ!

    There are IRGC (Revolutionary Guards) in Iran but considering that you don't know even the name, your other statements can hardly be trusted.

  8. Re:Shock Horror on Facebook: Your Personal Data is a Trade Secret · · Score: 0

    Brave anonymous coward, is that you?

  9. Re:Are we talking about the same Microsoft? on MS Buying Yahoo? Bad Idea, Even At a Discount · · Score: 1

    Zune is a terrible product? Seriously?

    Is silverlight worse than Flash?

    And why Bing is terrible?

  10. Re:All 65k+ of them? on Iran Blocks VPN Ports · · Score: 1

    You do not need to check 65k things. You just check every single packet to see what port it is and whether the content matches that port. That's in fact what they currently do (and have done since 2007). One of their sites which I visited in 2006 contained 30 racks of filtering equipments.
