    Ooooh, there's flashing lights on them? I'll let them put one in my yard, except that they'll have to fight for real estate with the 4x4x4 power transformer, the 1x1x3 cable pedestal, both of the 1x1x3 telco pedestals, the streetlight pole, and the 3x3 metal plate that no-one wants to admit is theirs.

    Well, duh -- where do you think they've installed the sarcasm detector?

    Maybe it's a typo -- "runs like a chimp" brings to mind knuckle dragging with occasional inexplicable detours into incoherent bursts of rage and feces flinging.

  12. Re:Paper? on Florida Literally Scraps Touch-Screen Voting · · Score: 1

    Here's one example: Chicago, Illinois, November 2004. 10 pages of choices, with 15 elected offices, confirmations of 74 judges, and one referendum. When I saw how long it took to download plus what it actually looks like, it reminded me of the "personality test" for your avatar in the old Ultima games, i.e., long, excruciatingly boring and opaquely related to the outcome.

    I wonder if the American voter knew Lord British had designed their electoral system ...

  16. Re:Shadows are wrong! on DX10 - How Far Have We Come? · · Score: 1

    Yes, the DX10 version was very impressive. Most annoyingly, though, was that it wasn't the same action sequence for DX9 and DX10, e.g., no grenade in DX9.

    I believe it was de Raadt that once mentioned he'd prefer a non-optimizing compiler that produced simple, bullet-proof, bug-free code, i.e., in terms of the OS and its base tools, he prefers correct to fast.

  25. How standard is this clause? on Will Microsoft Put The Colonel in the Kernel? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    [0038] Although the forgoing text sets forth a detailed description of numerous different embodiments of the invention, it should be understood that the scope of the invention is defined by the words of the claims set forth at the end of this patent. The detailed description is to be construed as exemplary only and does not describe every possibly embodiment of the invention because describing every possible embodiment would be impractical, if not impossible. Numerous alternative embodiments could be implemented, using either current technology or technology developed after the filing date of this patent, which would still fall within the scope of the claims defining the invention. Seems awfully vague and encompassing. If this is standard to all patents (or of a certain type) then is it necessary for inclusion?
