    "It's a disturbing example of the excesses of American prudishness."

    Please put an NSFW warning. Some of us browse /. on the clock.

    Indeed.

  2. Re:Dynamic typing is a hack on Facebook Introduces Hack: Statically Typed PHP · · Score: 1

    Instead of writing a flamebait reply, how about telling me how simple and painless you'd do that? Because all the examples and explanations I've found were nothing but "simple", they're all work-arounds for something that should be straight and simple.

  3. Dynamic typing is a hack on Facebook Introduces Hack: Statically Typed PHP · · Score: 1, Informative

    Ever tried to access 8-bit byte arrays and write them to a binary file in PHP? It's hell and it takes a lot of work to go around all the stupid dynamic typing.

    This is the point that hasn't sunken into the people who use Google services. You are not the customer.
    The advertisers are the customer and you... are the product.

    Somehow, I always imagine Agent Smith to be reading such lines.

    Give it a try, you're going to be shocked at what they are able to achieve in modern browsers. Even Keynote and its transitions work smoothly on my old Core 2 Duo.

  7. Re:Apple? on Why Buy Microsoft Milk When the Google Cow Is Free? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Indeed, I have a 2010 Mac mini and I don't get to download the latest versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote for free.

  8. Wait on Google Android Studio Vs. Eclipse: Which Fits Your Needs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What's wrong with notepad?

    I have no idea what you're talking about.

  12. Re:designer handbags wholesale http://www.shoesct on Lego Robot Solves Rubik's Cube Puzzle In 3.253 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Obvious spam is obvious. It's even more lame that it's 30 times the same link.

    Then you would need a girlfriend with four breasts.

  14. Re:The most damning aspect of this affair on Overuse of Bioengineered Corn Gives Rise To Resistant Pests · · Score: 1

    The human race will disappear not because of war, not because of an epidemic, not because of a natural or cosmic disaster, but because of Monsanto Corp.

    What does a watch do that a smartphone cannot do?

  19. Re:so what does it do? on Google Unveils Android Wear · · Score: 1

    In my days, we had to look outside to know the weather, walk to the phone tied to the wall and turn a mechanical wheel multiple times to call someone and wait for the movies to play on the television and we had to wait for ads during the movie to sprint to the bathroom when we needed to.

    Now I don't even bother going outside, I get the weather status via the Internet, talk to people via the Internet and watch movies via the Internet. All from a windowless room. I'm sad.

  20. Round and square screens? on Google Unveils Android Wear · · Score: 1

    This means apps won't risk showing important information in the corners of the square watches.

    No, but you can display sharks in 3D, using lasers.

  22. Re:Return the money AND the risk premium on Kickstarted Veronica Mars Promised Digital Download; Pirate Bay Delivers · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you were to really use MPAA math, Warner Bros ought to pay every backer 3.5 million dollars.

    Oh great, so you need to be a Jew in order to make a formal denial? This atheist thing is starting to be more troublesome than I imagined.
