  1. Re:I'm tired of you ethical moralists on Human-Animal Hybrids Fail · · Score: 1

    What does FOCA have to do with "barely-preborn" or "just-born" children?

    Answer, nothing at all.

  2. Re:hey adobe... on Apps That Officially Support Wine · · Score: 1

    I ran 64bit for awhile. No real benefit with plenty of extra problems. Of course I don't have more than 2GB of memory either. One of these days 64bit will be mainstream, but for now it's not worth for the normal user.

  3. Re:How would you set up Okular on Windows?? on FSFE Launches Free PDF Readers Campaign · · Score: 1

    It probably comes with KDE4 for Windows.

    Not .9kg, he said 1.45kg is too much and 1.3kg is ok. That's a difference of 150g which is three 50g mars bars or about than two and a half of the 58g size.

    Yes, there are probably more important things to be discussing right now.

    Won't nslookup tell you what the real server name is? And once you know the real server name just look it up in your configuration management system to figure out what it does.

    To bring another fact into the debate, leaves aren't wood.

    They also said in the article that used tea leaves would work just as well. Now I've made a number of unintentional tea stains on papers in my lifetime and although they are visible, I wouldn't want to try to read a page of text in that color.

    ...though short, it has some pretty dense ideas.

    You may want to rephrase that ;)

    Neat trick. You made Randi's website disappear!

  12. Re:This will come up on Local Police Want To Jam Wireless Signals · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The war on drugs is stupid. Thanks for assuming I'm an idiot, but I am aware that a lot of people from law enforcement to drug cartels profit immensely from the status quo. I don't care. Having a corrupt system doesn't mean the resulting bad policies are any less stupid.

  13. Re:This will come up on Local Police Want To Jam Wireless Signals · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The accessibility of drugs and other contraband in jail kind of shines a spotlight on the stupidity of the war on drugs. I mean if the government can't even come close to keeping drugs out of a place where people have no freedom at all, why do they think they can do it in a supposedly free country?

  14. Re:nobel on Making Magnetic Monopoles and Other Physics Exotica · · Score: 1

    These have nothing to do with perpetual motion. For instance, the Hoover Dam harness energy that ultimately came from the sun.

  15. Re:nobel on Making Magnetic Monopoles and Other Physics Exotica · · Score: 1

    How's that? Electric charges and gravity behave like monopoles but they don't result in perpetual motion. How would a magnetic monopole be different?

  16. Re:CRT on Photog Rob Galbraith Rates MacBook Pro Display "Not Acceptable" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Even if they did prefer CRTs, it's mighty hard to find a laptop that offers a CRT option these days.

  17. Re:Voodoo Science on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah it is voodoo. If I calculate that there is a 1:10^20 chance an asteroid will destroy the earth this month, and someone else figures there is a 1:50 chance I am wrong, that does not make the odds of an asteroid destroying the earth 1:50. As wrong as the person calculating the odds are, the odds are still going to be incredibly small.

    If what you were saying was true we could destroy the earth by having a 10 year old do the calculations since they would almost certainly be wrong.

    It doesn't matter. After 90 days his coupon expired and was reissued.

    I imagine the reviewer names would be hard to fake since at least some of them were posted under the persons real name from their credit card.

    Wrong. In fact the phrase came from a case having nothing to do with shouting, theaters, or fire. The common usage of the phrase is exactly as Justice Holmes used it originally.

  21. Re:A couple of questions on KDE 4.2 Is Released · · Score: 1

    Seriously, what's wrong with some people? When the KDE team release a new version, do they come to his house and force him to upgrade? If you want your software to always work exactly the same, just don't change it.

    And come on, complaining about having to "relearn" icons? This is the most pathetic criticism I've ever heard.

  22. Re:1 question on KDE 4.2 Is Released · · Score: 1

    Despite what that release note may lead you to believe, it was common knowledge at the time that 4.0 was not for general consumption. If you read even one article or review about it at the time you would have known that.

  23. Re:1 question on KDE 4.2 Is Released · · Score: 1

    I was not disappointed by 4.0 in the slightest, because I read the reviews and decided to wait for 4.1. Some people just love to complain.

  24. Re:Waiting.. on Apple Awarded Patent For iPhone Interface · · Score: 1

    The iPhone was announced January 9, 2007. This multi-touch demo is from 2006.

    The stuff in that demo seems awfully similar to what is in the patent. It's not Surface, but I was just guessing that it was a Surface demo I saw first. The actual name is not relevant.

    PS: I made no wholly inaccurate statements, just asked a few questions. You could have tried answering them without the the unwarranted rudeness
