  1. Or... on Apple Win32 to OS X Porting Guide · · Score: 2

    I guess you missed the "a bit more". Notice the word more. Here is a definition:

    more ( P ) Pronunciation Key (môr, mr)
    adj. Comparative of many., much.

    Greater in number: a hall with more seats.
    Greater in size, amount, extent, or degree: more land; more support.
    Additional; extra: She needs some more time.

    So as you see I said "more" which is in reference to the previous attempts to take MS market share.

    Maybe next time you pull your head out of your ass you'll figure out what the fuck I was saying.

    Dipshit.

    When a DA is freaking out and the public is wanting someone caught, the stresses of these situations generally lead to bad things for innocent people. Plus if you're a minority it's significantly more likely that you'll number one, be convicted and number 2, face a significantly harsher sentence than a white/anglo counterpart.

    The republican party is racist. There is no doubt. The only reason they "act" inclusionist is because if they get 8% of stupid blacks/latinos to vote for them it is usually enough to beat the democrats. Remember it was the republican party that sponsored segregation and fought very hard to keep it in place. Mind you this was only 50 years ago (Strom Thurmond ring a bell?).

    Why did JC "Uncle Tom" Watts (from my town) step down as the 3rd highest republican? They were asking him to essentially get the coffee for them. Notice the jackass Inhoffe trying to move to #1 by calling for a "vote" on Lott. Hell I hope Lott stays the leader and the democrats get some fucking balls and attack the assholes. What the fuck happened to the will of the democratic party? If they are pussy whipped because of Clinton they need to fucking retire. I'll take a president that gets a BJ (does anyone remember JFK?) in the oval office to a moron that cannot even say terrorist (terraist or tourist is what I hear). The republican party is a bunch of pandering assholes. If you don't believe it watch this:

    The repubs will have the house, senate, presidency and supreme court. I will bet the first person with balls $1000 that there is No Anti-Abortion Law which based on their platform should pass with flying colors. Do you want to know why it wont? They would die a quick death in the next election. They just pander to the religious dumb fucks that can only focus on abortion as their "how I vote issue". Mark it down in 2004 there will still be legal abortion. Pussies.

    Every church in my town (of around 85-100k depending on if school is in or not) has expanded/remodeled their original building, bought neighboring houses and turned them into parking lots (this has royally pissed of some people on campus, frats/sororities have done the same), and build mutil-million dollar centers of worthlessness.

    In a time where our schools are lacking funding (partially due to bad management but mostly due to fast growth of population and lack of funds) people bitch and moan about a new bond issue for the schools (note the funds only go to schools not general funds within the area) but will gladly give another $100 to their church every weekend because that is their new "high school".

    Have you ever noticed 90% of the hypocrites that go to church are more interested in the gossip than the gospel? Being a child of an Italian family the Catholic church is a birth requirement. However, in my personal search for religion I have attended almost every available denomination and religion in my area (yes, muslum/islamic, buddhism, non secular, native american (kiowa, choctaw)). All I see is hypocracy in the Christian religions. It's not about being a good person it's about how much you "give". So all I can say is fuck'em.

    The only exception is the mormons I know. I hold them in the highest esteem because even though I don't agree with their beliefs they respect me, so in turn I respect them. Also they are the nicest people I've met (in relation to attending services). They too have their tithing (10% or you burn in hell). At least mormons aren't hypocrites.

    I have no problem with religion, I have a major problem with people who lie to themselves to feel better than others simply because they piss their money away on giving 1st Baptist more money so the PowerPoint presentations can be professionally designed.

  10. Lol, at least the "damn liberals" aren't racist. on Decentralization · · Score: 2, Insightful

    BTW notice the "damn liberals" dont have the majority in either the house or senate and the "racists" have the presidency as well.

    I guess there will be no excuses (terrorism, or terraism/tourism as the president would say) when everything is still shitty in 2 years. Oh well, I guess they cut my taxes.

    No one wants anything from the govt (society) until they are in need (ie medical healthcare), then every pathetic "racist" that lost their ass in the great stock market crash of 2000-2002 comes whining that they cannot afford to pay for health care. Fuck'em is what I say.

    Since when did the "religious/racist" party give a shit about being hypocrites. Going to church every sunday and talking about how good you are and how you help so much (by giving to your "church/cult") for another activity center. When the fucking public school across the street doesn't have textbooks newer than 1983 and the building is falling apart. I fucking hate "conservatives/cocksuckers"

    Notice my state of utterly moronic people. We voted all conservatives on the national level but all liberal on the local level. How the fuck does that happen? Welcome to DipShit USA. If I hear one more person say "I voted for him based on his character and I liked him better." I'm going to puke. All that means is "His commercial was more appealing than the other guy." Unbelievable.

    They advertise SDSL for around 280/month for 1.5/Up and Down. But it's never going to be available is what the rep I talked to said. You can get a T-1 (on a 3 year contract) for 815 installed and 715/month. Not too bad but still worse than 280/month.

    They may not be able to buy Forte or Eclipse but they can remove a significant development tool for the linux platform that allows the exact same project to run on solaris, linux, windows and mac os (to a lesser extent). This gives credibliity to the platform as a stable one that is supported by large vendors.

    Personally I develop through my company for Windows and Linux the same (JFC) but for OS X I use the development tools (interface builder) from Apple and tie into my same java classes (we recompile a cocoa app). We build an Aqua interface and tie into the same backend. On Linux and Windows all development is in textpad (via wine in linux). Any other apps that are specifically remote in nature are implemented in JSP for web access. So I can sort of agree with you but not entirely. If I didn't use Windows so much I'd be using vim exclusively (but that's another fight altogether!).

  24. Quoting some doodie on Macworld Holds Battle of the Browsers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Quote "The Last Word
    Microsoft's Internet Explorer effectively controls the Mac OS X browser market -- its overall rendering quality and its support for Web standards made it the browser to beat in our tests. Netscape's fall from grace as IE's main competition has opened the field to newer browsers, such as Opera and The Omni Group's OmniWeb, that focus on speed and standards compliance. But what may turn out to be the biggest surprise is how Mozilla.org and the promising Gecko rendering engine have risen from the ashes of Netscape Communications to mount a credible challenge to IE's dominance. Although Mozilla is still too similar to its Netscape cousin in performance, Navigator's speed and rendering fidelity make it the OS X browser to watch. "


    This is a load of crap. First Navigator is based on Mozilla. I use Mozilla and Chimera as my browsers on OS X, and on Windows I use IE and Mozilla.

    Saying IE is the "standards" leader is like saying you find your grandma attractive (fucking crazy). My company runs all linux on the server side (except one db on solaris) and when building our JSPs the ONLY browser that constantly fucks up is IE on OS X/9. If it works fine in IE for PocketPC you'd hope it would work on a Mac. Oh well, I guess if you use MS you get what you pay for.

    I just cant wait for Apples iBrowse (or whatever they decide to call their own browser). Sherlock is not exactly what I'm envisioning for the future.
