  1. Re:They also do it on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 1

    havent thoughted about that, but it would be skewed. Many people leave their browser open to answeer the phone or do other things, I my self do open several tabs at once in firefox and articles get reloading while waiting for my attention, sometimes I only read the first few lines and close it.

    But it is kind of clever. :-)

    They use that to change the adds, you keep reading the document and the add change while you reading. Maybe some sort of "double buffer" would make that reloading less noticeble.

    It will make it worse, since there is a possibility that people that do patch their computers that will be denyed.

    Hell there is even the possibility that people that do have the right to (meaning has a license and all) that will be blocked from use the patch. Who can tell if this routine that checks if you can or can't install wil not be buggy?

  5. Re:Game Over on American Airlines Is Third Company To Share Data · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When talking about entering a foreinger country I never have this "warm feeling of welcome". I always keep thinking about the dozens of historys I have heard about people being traped and humiliated before entering a country, and this is not only in the united states.

    My mother was locked in a small room in the Paris airport, revisted several times, and she didn't speak a word of french or english for that matter. She didn't know what the hell was happening, my father that was there already in a work related trip did not know what was happening.

    I have heard of people having to return home without so much as a reason from buth the US and the UK.

    But remember that I am not talking about the reception after you actualy enter the country, I was very well received in both Paris and Madrid.

  6. Imitate is not the answer. on XPde 0.5 - A Linux Desktop for Windows Users · · Score: 1

    First I know that no one is going to red this, sad but true, to late for that... :-(

    I don't believe that imitation is the way, if you try to closely imitate one environment the more the smiplest details that differ will matter. The end result an insatisfied user, because of trivial problems.

    I took the road of doing something that is assumed different, it can use the same ideas, it can be similar but is definitly different.

    If it is easy to identify that a website is adult or not, it would be easy to browser filter them when creating history. This would improve the privacy for those sites in computers that can be used by more then one person.

  9. Re:of course.... on The Implications Of Software Commodity? · · Score: 1

    The problem with food is that the final product have a cost similar to the one of their components. Take aids medicine, for instance, it is possible to copy those for a price witch could be considered free by most, but they are not.

    In the same way when you copy a file this copy is not free, it cost space in some medium and also to make this copy you use energy. Sure this price is so low that could be considered free by even poor people.

  10. Re:Crap. on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't agree with you, one thing is a book literature, and other thing is a movie. Those two are very diferent medias. It is very hard to adapt a book into a movie, how many times did your heard "oh, but the book is so much better"?

    Now take into account that this book (LOTR) has a legion of fans ready to shout "crap" at every single deviantion they do. As they did "it dosen't have Tom Bombadil" or "Aragorn would never do that" and etc... There is a site listing them all.

    In my opinion this movie is very close to the book, and it is a very good adaptation and should not be looked lightly. It did satisfied a great portion of the fans and more the great public who may never have heard about Tolkien before.

  11. Re:Great on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 1

    I agree whith you, but I don't think it is simply age that the critic and the people who study art responds too. After all you can see them cheering new styles and all kind of experimental art. Popularity is a key, if something is popular then it must be awful. I do not agree with that thinking. The truth is that the critics that grew up watching those movies and listening to that music will take this or that genre more seriously, and will think that the new thing that will come is shit.

  12. Re:Not very important for me on Sun Agrees to Talk to IBM over Open Sourcing Java · · Score: 1

    I believe that they should only give the shiny logo to those who pay them a million but they should made the test available to those who want to one verify if the shiny logo means something, and two to those who are making their unsuported java product could also test (even thought they would not have the shiny logo and would have little attention from stupid CEOs).

    of course that is just my opinion.

    The answer is easy create a test suite that a piece of software can only be called java compatible if it pass this test suite.

  15. Re:Nice fantasy you live in. on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    You have a point that U.S. troops are legitimate military targets - but the bombings of the Red Cross, the UN offices and Iraqi police are in fact terrorist...

    What about the markets, hospitals and hotels that the US did atack? It's a war, those inocent people represent the enemy, they do not have weapons and may even be helping your side as well, but for some there are no shadows of gray.

    You may be right - but I have to say it will probably be somewhat more democratic than the last regime...

    A real democratic process in Irak will most certainly elect a govern that is anti-american and at some level pro-terrorists. People in Irak do not want the americans there. Many people in Irak are fundamentalist Islam.

    I do not believe Bush will ever let this happen, the next Irak goverment will be pro-america and there will be a civil war in Irak as soon as the amrican troops there get out.

    True, but after the first gulf war Saadam wrapped himself in the Koran as a way of solidifying his support and casting his conflict with America...

    What about all the bush speaks about god and good vs evil? Even the pope said that Bush should stop talking about god.

    For me there was no reason for US be there if was not blood for oil. It is more then proved that Irak didn't have any weapons of mass destruction as the ONU already have said. It is somewhat stablished that the menace of those weapons of mass destruction were at least exagerated by both the US and UK.

    Why all this trouble? Why spend millions of dolars and considerable life toe to go against a threat that you know is (at least) not as bad as you're saying it is? The only answer I can see is oil. If you have another, please tell me.

    Also take a look at this for yet another possible economic reason fo the war.

  16. Re:It's an insane decision. on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

    Ok so now they will be able to send more crappy 3d animation movies to the wild. They won't bomb so hard, because they were cheaper, but at some level they will bomb.

    This would help them much less then if they had made a new writing and scripting unit. Disney has a great advantage in their side, their name is as strong as a animation studio can be. They are destroying this with each launch, at the same time Pixar and Aardman (chicken run and wallance and gromit) are getting their names.

    If this keeps going in that direction Disney soon will be an amusing park and nothing much more.

    Nature, if you like that, does not, but certainly life prefers the earth to venus. Much of the life we know and love need some kind of balance, I do think that to tip this balance is required an enormous effort, but humanity is taking this effort.
