    So, you're saying that when you use sarcasm in vocal communication, you don't use a different tone of voice? You do realize that that is what the tag is emulating, don't you?

    Are you serious? We've been flying these around Venus for years.

    But you can't have a live call in interview with a war vet. If he says, "it's a fucking mess over there", they actually fine the station hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    Will this thing be creative commons licensed? Come on Google--don't be evil.

    This law is like saying: "Hey newspapers? FUCK YOU"

  6. Re:ZFS everywhere? Doubtful on Torvalds vs Schwartz GPL Wars · · Score: 1

    EXACTLY. Thank you. Finally, someone gets it. They obviously had all the rights to it, and if they wanted everyone to use it like they say, they would have released it public domain or BSD.

  7. Re:Not a bad Linus message on Torvalds vs Schwartz GPL Wars · · Score: 1

    I may be thinking of a different thing, but I think it was for BSD/GPL cross-licensed drivers. These come originally from BSD, and I think Linus was saying he wouldn't accept patches to them unless the patcher kept it dual licensed; e.g. first made his patches to the BSD code, and then Linus would pull from there. Linus was basically being pragmatic by avoiding an unnecessary fork, but he was also showing respect to the original authors.

    And you must be on a network other than Verizon.

  9. Re:lets take a point from the man himself... on Linus Warms (Slightly) to GPL3 · · Score: 1

    Why not add a clause saying it can't be used in military applications as well! Then you will be even less compatible with everyone else.

  10. Re:Photoshop bloat on The History of Photoshop · · Score: 1

    I hate people like you-PS2 didn't even have layers. If adding layers is 'bloat', I want 'bloat'.

  11. Re:"Automatic monster level matching?" on Your Lord of the Rings Online Questions Answered · · Score: 1

    He was implying that they *don't* do that, and that their design is so good, you naturally go to the right places for your level, and, in one guys case, he actually started thinking they did that.

  12. Re:Tradition? on Square Steps Back from 'No FF on 360' Remark · · Score: 1

    Basically none of those were simultaneous releases, which is what the article is concerned with (referring just to your post here).

    Do you wear potato sacks, or do you wear clothes?

  14. Re:this seemed to be the important one for most ga on Second Life Arbitration Clause Unenforceable · · Score: 1

    I think the burden is on you; name one place where you can enforce an agreement on someone that they aren't a party to (other than in purposely interfering in other people's contracts, e.g. google non-compete chinese guy case)?

  15. Re:Glorified P.R. visit on Eve Online to Elect Player Oversight Group · · Score: 1

    Say what you will about the EVE folks, at least they don't blatantly cheat in front of everyone's eyes, like those bastards at Blizzard did.

    It isn't so much the fragility of the 'touch' part as it is the 'screen part. Notice the nintendo DS folds up. Every PSP I have seen has been scratched to hell.

    No no, see, because Kramer told Newman he would rather Elaine have the bicycle than have it sawed in half, while Elaine didn't loudly protest, Newman knew Kramer was the one who truly cared for the bike.

    For your house to get searched, you have to *choose* to buy a house. It's the exact same argument you are making.
