  1. Re:Sure. on Stop Standardizing HTML · · Score: 1

    If you guys think Javascript and PHP are bad, you'll have a seizure if you ever look at ExpressionEngine's "parsing order" nightmare.

    You may be joking, but some of us actually carry platinum cards in our wallets. Do you know how heavy platinum is?

    I'll wait for the Robotic Fuckfest, sponsored by RealDoll.

    Well, that explains their problem. You don't need a chair and a keyboard to assemble IKEA furniture!

    You can hold your Galaxy S III with one hand and touch every corner of the display without moving your holding position?

    1. The iPhone 5 was approved by Steve Jobs way before he died.
    2. The iPhone is the right width for the human hand. Any larger and you need two hands to use it. It's a phone, not a tablet.

  9. Re:Sounds like a good idea on Apple To Launch Largest Stock Repurchasing Plan In History · · Score: 1

    If Apple's only goal was to make money, they'd sell things with a far higher profit margin, like sugared water.

    I hope Tim Cook remembers what drove Steve Jobs when he approved products or threw them back to the drawing board.

  10. Why is there not more human testing? on Protesting Animal Testing, Intruders Vandalize Italian Lab · · Score: 1

    I don't see why it would be unethical if we allowed people to be used for testing. We're rational and self-aware beings.

    The people could be paid for it and we'll know for sure that the treatments/medications/whatever actually works on humans.

    But, you say, how can I test websites for the blind since I am not blind?

    Close your eyes for a few seconds and think about it.

    You mean like electronic ink?

  14. Roland MDX-3 on Some Windows XP Users Can't Afford To Upgrade · · Score: 1

    My old Roland MDX-3 needs a parallel port but other than that I can simple send files to cut via the command line (ex: "copy cutfile.txt lpt1") so I'm still using Windows 98SE without any problem whatsoever.

    If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

  16. Re:I do that already... on Samsung Researching How To Let You Control Your Phone With Your Brain · · Score: 4, Funny

    brain waive interface

    waive /wv/
    Verb
    Refrain from insisting on or using (a right or claim): "waive all rights to the money".
    Refrain from applying or enforcing (a rule, restriction, or fee): "her tuition fees would be waived".
    Synonyms
    relinquish - renounce - abdicate - give up - forgo

    So, a brain waive interface would be a television.

    If you want to talk to a nobody who's running a business, I've heard about a guy named Ballmer.

    If he asks you to take a chair, literally take it because that's going to be your weapon against him a friendly game of "chairmen".
