  1. Irrational doe snot mean random on Pi: Less Random Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    irrational does not mean random, it means that, not only is the decimal repeating, but there is no decreeable pattern in the digits. I think that article meant to say that Pi is more patterned than some random number machine's output.

  2. Re:Blame Berman and Braga on Trek Producers Will Provide World A Break · · Score: 1

    I did not watch it after half way through the second episode.. I hated Voyager and that second episode was NOTHING like the pilot.... more like a warmed over voyager.

    soo.. Aqua styling by the guy who helped create it before he left apple and aqua styling from apple should look different?

  4. Re:Trek Needs a break? on Trek Producers Will Provide World A Break · · Score: 1

    Blah.. had Rodenberry not died we would have seen the fall of the federation in DS9 and then we would have see andrameda.. a post federation adventure.. that is interesting work... not garbage like voyager.

    The sad thing is that this season has been the best and is on par with an average season of DS9(pre dominion wars) and NG.

    heh... seeing Hochi in that provocative attire in the alternate universe was cool :-)

    your a retard who cannot read.. both konfab and apple agree that dashboard may LOOK like konfab, but fundamentally they are different technologies.

    it is basically my favorite animal.

  8. Re:Curses! on Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger · · Score: 1

    well... one of those certainly will not be far behind :-)

  9. Re:How Apple builds "community economies" on Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger · · Score: 1

    read the konfab FAQ.. they say definitively that Dashboard is merely aesthetically similar to konfabulator. so it is not a rip off stupid.

  10. Re:The urgent one: OOo / Oasis plugin for Spotligh on Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger · · Score: 0

    what?? Apple is not responsible for making all the fucking filters in Spotlight.. it s easy to add a filter, and the app developers or (for OSS) an interested party can simply make a filter and have it dropped in the spotlight plug-in folder.

  11. Re:Other Widget Download Site on Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the fact that the widgets are 20 MBs in RAM for one. the JS system is slow, and the widgets are on the desktop all the time.

    I think it is funny that the konfab guys think that confab widgets are easier to develop than HTML/CSS + scripting language of your choice which is found in Dashboard.

    so make one.

  13. Re:Amazon on Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger · · Score: 1

    no.. but I have my package sitting on the truck out for delivery right now and I bought from the apple store on line with my student discount.

    why would some one want to punish themselves with that load of bloated crap?

  15. Re:GPLv3? on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    dumbass.. it is because the code bases have become split... APple needed something and KDE wanted something else so the fork began.

  16. Re:They've probably tried this already... on Mars Rover Stuck in a Dune · · Score: 2, Informative

    6 wheels that are independent and can be moved up and down at will are better than a track system.

  18. Re:metadata on Mac OS X Tiger Released and Analyzed · · Score: 1

    umm... you think that the filters that are there for the main applications can't get good metadata from the files?

    you seem to be assuming that it sucks... which is not the case.

    Pages? Keynote? dude.. just use LaTeX.

  20. Re:Tiger Has Arrived! on Mac OS X Tiger Released and Analyzed · · Score: 1

    features like OS integration? oh.. no.. non bloated widgets? nope... the use of expose? oh, now they do after last year's WWDC.... CSS and HTML layout for widgets? no... access to the full OS X API and subsystems? nope...

    yeah.. Konfab is SOOOOOO much better. NOT.

  21. Re:An insanely thorough review! on Mac OS X Tiger Released and Analyzed · · Score: 1

    WinFS is not a file system.. it is a layer on the file system that manages the files for the user.

  22. Re:Spotlight alone worth twice the price on Mac OS X Tiger Released and Analyzed · · Score: 2, Informative

    there are published APIs for it.. I am sure that you could make a plug-in for thunderbird, though I do not know if you will be able to search your mail messages in thunderbird because I think that Tiger makes each mail message a separate file, no MBOXs.

    umm... USB? they were the first OEM (large OEM) to ship USB as standard in 1997.

    PCI? well, apple had to overcome the early 90's proprietary connector crap, so yeah.

    SATA? umm.. about as long as it took dell to ship SATA as an option.
