    You expect people on /. to RTFA?

    Kinda like of Jeebs in Men In Black but he only was a dick whose head could grow back.

    And in between they always repeat themselves. BSG proved it.

    Hey, at other places people pay a lot of money to swim with dolphins.

    Didn't you get the memo?
    Terrorists always have to be Muslims and wear a turban. It's part of the union regulations.

    Valid if you ignore the moderated groups.

  9. Re:Gaps between monitors on AMD Multi-Display Tech Has Problems, Potential · · Score: 1

    It's one of the few games that actually make use of additional displays (even though multi monitor setups have become much more popular over the last couple of years).

  10. Re:What are you talking about? on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 1

    You do realize there's more than one version of the box sets on this planet?
    The region 2 DVD and Blu-ray sets I bought from the UK certainly have that crap on them.

  11. Re:Fight them on California Moves To Block Texas' Textbook Changes · · Score: 1

    Have you heard of this thing called "Reality TV"?

  12. Re:Why?? on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 1

    You could just as well add a message that the DVD can only be watched while the audience is balancing an entire encyclopedia on their nose. Doesn't necessarily make it a rule you're required to follow.

  13. Re:Why?? on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 1

    True.

    It's especially annoying on box sets (e.g. M*A*S*H or Firefly) like there's an unwritten rule that they have to put that crap on every single disc.
    Really annoying if you want to watch a bunch of discs back to back.

  14. Well on Google Android Interface For the Chevy Volt · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seeing as how most Android apps are just glorified Java applets you'll probably be late for a meeting and once you're past the garage doors the car will simply power down again, displaying something about "GC overhead limit exceeded".

  15. Re:Google vs Microsoft on Microsoft Accuses Google Docs of Data Infidelity · · Score: 1

    Because they had to have something which will still be compatible with newly updated file formats and the suits didn't want to wait until the OO project got their act together and fixed the backward compatibility.

  16. Re:End of Firefox? on Firefox With H.264 HTML 5 Support = Wild Fox · · Score: 1

    Glad I'm not alone.
    With every additional unwelcome change Canonical makes to the defaults switching to a different distribution becomes more and more tempting.

  17. Re:Google vs Microsoft on Microsoft Accuses Google Docs of Data Infidelity · · Score: 1

    True.
    OpenOffice certainly isn't perfect either.
    When OO reached 3 and repeatedly destroyed some documents when editing files created with 2.x several of our departments switched back to MS Office ("Better the devil you know ...").

  18. Re:Not limited to Nexus One on Google Stops Selling Its Own Phone · · Score: 1

    Same here. I bought my N900 last December through Amazon and some stores didn't start carrying it until early March. Even then it only popped up in a few stores here and there, the kind run by contract package resellers (e.g. mobilcom in Germany).

  20. Re:Meh on HP's Slate To Be Replaced By WebOS Tablet? · · Score: 1

    Might've been a bad time for you to stop taking those meds. ;)

    webOS is a Linux-based OS as well but due to the larger form factor and the to be expected increase in processing power I want something more productive rather than having to deal with a castrated "phone edition" (coming from an N900 owner).

  21. Meh on HP's Slate To Be Replaced By WebOS Tablet? · · Score: 1

    Don't care about what OS it ships with as long as it can be nuked to replace it with Ubuntu/Debian.

  22. Depends ... on Linux Users Donate Twice As Much As Windows Users, On Average · · Score: 1

    In a sense it's no so much regular donating (as in simply giving money for a good cause) as appreciating something which is given to you for free and paying an amount you see fit.

    For example I like to download free audio book episodes through www.podiobooks.com. They have a feature where you can donate money in relation to a specific show.
    The majority of that money goes to the author/creator of said show and the rest to the site which provides the service. That way you can give money to the people who decided to share what they created for free and at the same time support the upkeep of the free service which made it posssible for the creators to share it with you.
