  1. Re:Another fashionable addition for PHP: on PHP Gets Namespace Separators, With a Twist · · Score: 1

    Not in the example given. The inner and outer loops are identical, what name would you use that differentiates between them?

  2. Re:In order to counterpoint you: on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That is ridiculous anti-ACLU bullshit. Please back up your retarded comment or GTFO.

  3. Re:Reminds me... on Evolutionary Scientists Test-Drive Spore, Gripe · · Score: 1

    So by your broad definition where exactly could we live that wouldn't be a cave?

  4. Re:T-Mobile's network is useless on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 1

    I've used my t-mobile phone in the middle of the desert. Coverage was fine at least along the freeway.

  5. Re:T-Mobile's network is useless on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does this Android phone support T-Mobile@Home? I suppose it should but haven't seen any confirmation of that.

  6. Re:probably because it's not *innovative* on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe it's not multi-touch however. I think that was the intended criticism.

  7. Re:Because they're not Apple on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There are still many things about the US that we can be proud of, but Presidential elections are not one of those things. The electoral system, lousy first across the post ballots, low turnout, voter disenfranchisement, faulty voting machines, elections held on work days, ridiculously long and expensive campaigns....

    I could go on, but the system has countless flaws. Other countries can and do do it better.

  8. Re:Carefully protected? on Why RAID 5 Stops Working In 2009 · · Score: 1

    It seems like a great idea, but I tried it several years back and never was able to find a way to overcome the mischievous gnome issue. If you manage to keep them off of your data I think you'd have a winner.

  9. Re:Told to F-O on TSA Employee Caught With $200K Worth of Stolen Property · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know. I did say someone should do it, I didn't say I was about to do it.

  10. Re:Told to F-O on TSA Employee Caught With $200K Worth of Stolen Property · · Score: 1

    Well, since we know the TSA won't be implementing cameras anytime soon someone needs to rig up a camera in their luggage that can record the searches.

  11. Re:Don't forget the spin on Computer Error Caused Qantas Jet Mishap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's the difference? Wouldn't an aluminum gate be just as busted as a fiberglass one if a car ran through it fast enough to shatter the fiberglass?

  12. Re:I've tried Linux Flash 10 betas on Linux Now an Equal Flash Player · · Score: 1

    Same problem here. For me the latest Flash 9 wasn't terribly stable either. I think I'm sticking with Flash 9r47 for the time being.

  13. Re:Jeez you people... on International Spam Ring Shut Down · · Score: 1

    They don't know if it will work or not until after they do it. I'm sure there's enough suckers out there that the spammers don't heavily rely on repeat business.

  14. Re:Jeez you people... on International Spam Ring Shut Down · · Score: 2

    The problem is why would the credit card companies want to do that? The only people the credit card companies don't want to give credit to are people who can't pay their bills, gullible or not.

  15. Re:Jeez you people... on International Spam Ring Shut Down · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And if pig's could fly...

    The OP's point was pointless. An astoundingly small percentage of the population responds to Spam. There is no way imaginable to magically stop every single ignorant, insecure, chump with a credit card from using it for herbal penis pills.

  16. Re:I know why... on Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You like add-ons. I like add-ons. Objectively, though, we're a very small minority of users.

    But it is also only a small minority of users who will download new web browsers instead of just using what's already installed on their computer. And their is going to be a large overlap between the two groups of users.

    About a Mandriva release? Apathetic?

  18. Re:First post on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 1

    Some supermarkets in the wealthier neighborhoods around here have consumer electronics vending machines by the doors, so yes you can slide your credit card and get an iPod at the supermarket.

    Yeah, weird. I did a double take the first time I saw it.

  19. Re:Moral of the story? on Qantas Blames Wireless For Aircraft Incidents · · Score: 1

    Yes, shielding should be adequate to diffuse the problem in the same way that the wings should be strong enough to withstand turbulence. I can't imagine the plane would be allowed in the sky until everything that "should be" has been verified.

  20. Re:Control is not enough on Firefox Add-On To Track Your Location Via Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    It would be the height of stupidity for a website to require this since it would require all their users to not only be using wifi, but be using wifi on a registered WAN. I imagine this would take a huge chunk out of their potential user base.

    Then again, for DRM stupidity was no obstacle. So, who knows.

  21. Re:Already slashdotted! on How Mobile Phones Work Behind the Scenes · · Score: 1

    If you don't have an unlimited voice plan, you get charged around $.40-$.45 per minute over, twice as much as the $.20 for a text message.

    With those numbers voice costs more then text only if you assume one text message is equivalent to 30 seconds worth of conversation. In practice I doubt that's the case.

  22. Re:I like Mono, but... on Mono 2.0 and .NET On Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    I like Mono, I really do, however it's always playing catch-up

    Ahhh! So that's why people with mono always look so tired. All this time I thought they were sick.

    Well it was only two hours by the time I posted that, but truth be told I'm out a microwave right now. I make my popcorn by putting the bag on top of my wireless router and firing up a bittorent.

  24. Re:It's not going to collide. on Small Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth · · Score: 1

    What about Shoemaker-Levy 9? Didn't that count as a meteor collision even though it burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere? I would think the atmosphere counts as part of the Earth as much as the oceans would.

  25. Re:Scary... on Small Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth · · Score: 1

    24 hours before hand? Check again, this is came out with maybe 6 hours notice. Your popcorn should be in the microwave right now if you intend to watch.
