  1. Re:It does say something about Google on Google Chrome Now Has Resource-Blocking Adblock · · Score: 1

    Google is a corporation like any other, but at least they have a little respect for not pissing it's costumers off.

    The clown-suit lobby has much more influence on Google than we previously thought.

    "...what I'm going to show you...is some new technology that we brought to Microsoft as part of an acquisition..."

    Fuck Microsoft. Fuck them and their can't-beat-em-then-buy-em business model. Fuck their complete lack of innovation, and fuck the douchebags who sell out to them. This Gary Oldman-looking motherfucker just got assimilated and all he can say is thank you. Newsflash, Commissioner Gordon: You know all the blood, sweat, and tears that you personally put into this project? All the birthdays you missed and the bridges you burned and the times you could have been getting laid? Microsoft gets to call it their own now. You're a footnote, the answer to a trivia question now, like Seattle Computer Products or Spyglass, Inc.

    Unethical business practices? Monopoly? Clueless donkeys who lap this shit up year after year? It doesn't matter. The fact is that Microsoft has sufficiently integrated itself into any and all aspects of technology that nothing-- not Google, not Linux, not whatever the fuck the bloggers can come up with-- will make it go away.

    Seriously, it's too late to do anything about it. Accept it as a fact of life or go build a shack in the mountains of Montana.

  11. You Are Running VMware Fusion with DEBUG option. on VMware Fusion goes Beta · · Score: 4, Funny
    As soon as I start a virtual machine, I get:

    Please be advised that the additional logging and error checking enabled by this option result [sic] in substantially slower execution. This option cannot be disabled on this build of VMware Fusion.
    Awesome. I think more companies should pop up windows that tell the user their software will run slower and there is nothing they can do about it. Maybe throw in a clip of Nelson haw-hawing?

    I know, I know, public beta. It's a joke, son.
  12. Re:Microwave on Everyday Objects Placed In a Microwave · · Score: 3, Funny

    When I first read this story I was inspired. I tried placing a microwave inside a larger microwave.

    There was a bizzare blue flash and I ended up with a tiny member of the royal family. I was surprised, I can tell you.


    David Lynch called. He wants the idea for his next movie back.

  19. Re:Where is "turbo java" on Borland Announces the Return of the Turbo Products, with Video · · Score: 1

    You can download the JBuilder Trial that degrades to the JBuilder Foundation Edition at the end of the trial period... which is essentially the same thing as a Turbo Java... Either way, I wouldn't be too surprised if they released a Turbo JBuilder in the coming months. Go here to download the trial.

    JBuilder 200x is the worst application, IDE or otherwise, I have ever had the misfortune of working with. The Swing interface is so horrendously slow and laggy it makes me physically ill to watch a window redraw when moving a dialog out from in front of it. Navigating folders on a network drive to open a file takes so long that it makes me want choke someone. Anyone. And don't get me started on the app's insistence on asking if you want to save a changed project 40 million fucking times when closing it. Verily:

    Me: [make a trivial change to a project, don't need to save it.] File-->Close Project
    JCrasher:Select Project(s) to close
    Me: [thinking out loud] Hmm, well I only have one project open so there really isnt a choice here, but whatever. Select it, click Close.
    JCrasher:Select Project(s) to save
    Me:[disgruntled sigh] Select "None"-->Click "OK"
    JCrasher:Select Project(s) to save
    Me:[What the fuck.] Select "None"-->Click "OK"
    JCrasher:Select Project(s) to save
    Me:[What the FUCK.] Select "None"-->Click "OK"
    JCrasher:Changes to the selected project(s) have not been saved. Are you sure you do not want to save?
    Me:[FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY -- AND WHAT THE HELL, ALL THINGS NOT HOLY -- NO NO NO I DO NOT WANT TO SAVE THE FUCKING PROJECT. I JUST WANT THE SCREEN THAT SAYS 'JBUILDER' TO GO AWAY, THAT CANNOT HAPPEN IF I KEEP GETTING ASKED STUPID FUCKING QUESTIONS. UNLESS THIS IS A JOKE AND I AM REALLY RUNNING 'ELIZA'. ] Click "Do Not Save"
    [JCrasher closes]
    [a nanosecond of Zen-like calm]
    Me:I fucking hate computers.

    Maybe they can get William Shatner next. The guys from Free Enterprise succeeded in that.

    That movie rules. One of those films where you don't have to be a Trekkie to enjoy. Supposedly there's a sequel in the works, but IMDB has it as "announced" for like 2 years.
