  1. Re:There Is Still Hope on History of Apple's Pascal Poster · · Score: 0

    Too bad we won't be getting rid of C that easy. Signed Char, what were they thinking?

  2. Re:#1 thing Apple should do... on Making Operating Systems Faster · · Score: 1

    Just that they won't benefit from it, because they are slower than the slow, non-ugly UI.

  3. Re:Recession = cost doubling? on Bruce Sterling On Lovelock's Pro-Nuclear Stance · · Score: 1

    I guess that's why I wrote "for air conditioning you."

  4. Re:Recession = cost doubling? on Bruce Sterling On Lovelock's Pro-Nuclear Stance · · Score: 1

    Big corporations take no small hits into their profits. They raise prices. Or take your employer - think he will pay twice as much for air conditioning you? No, he'll either stop, or lower your wage.

  5. Re:Site is Fake on Tales of the Future Past · · Score: 1

    Do you think so? Check out the issue before, cover story begins on page 594, the following issue's on page 746. The conspiracy must be widespread.

    Instead, we'll have spice, and hot Bene Gesserit women.

    The Spice Girls?

  7. Re:Bush Admin Right On on GAO Studies U.S. Government Data Mining · · Score: 1
    Do you really think it was Rumsfeld or any other administraion official who instructed the prison guards to document their deeds with photos, and then leak them to the press? Not a very smart move, huh? Chances are, they acted alone on that one. So, why not the abuse as well? Any connection to the top, saying Bush/Rumsfeld are directly responsible to the abuse, is a load of speculative crap. Where's your proof?

    Oh, so the fact that Rumsfeld doesn't think it would be a good idea to document your own war crimes must mean he has nothing to do with them? And why does Bush refuse the ICC, like only a handful of villain states do?

  8. Re:Ugh on Sailing the Wine Dark Sea · · Score: 1

    So what areas of the US were turned upside down in order to flush out regional terrorism after the Oklahoma City bombing? And why would Saddam support somebody who is a religious fanatic and calls him an infidel? He is not as stupid as the CIA is.

  9. Re:Rumsfeld and Cheney are more like Alcibiades on Sailing the Wine Dark Sea · · Score: 1

    When American soldiers think they can get away with torture by saying "We were just following orders" ...

  10. Re:hey, wait a second on "A Sound of Thunder" Movie This Summer · · Score: 1

    The fact that few "American" movies are made in the US for quite some time now? Heck, Canada is becoming to expensive.

  11. Re:In this case, so what if it's changed? on "A Sound of Thunder" Movie This Summer · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a story I once read 20 years ago - IIRC it was "The Man Who Walked Home" by James Tiptree, Jr. A catastrophe ends in timetravel - and vice versa.

  12. Re:Heh, I remember hearing about this one... on "A Sound of Thunder" Movie This Summer · · Score: 1

    So he made two Van Damme movies you can watch without being in constant pain (maybe because VD doesn't play twins).

  13. Re:Question? on University Capitulates, Switches Off Spam Filters · · Score: 1

    In their own statement (in German) about the problem, they say that their Spam- and Virus-checkers can go through up to 10,000 mails per hour. Those then are usualy delivered to the user (because according to German law they have to) but put into special "folders". But because they got a somewhat more than 10k mails per hour for some days, those 100k messages piled up, and they now let them through unchecked in the default inbox.

  14. Re:/. double standards? on Apple to Award Workgroup Clusters to Scientists · · Score: 1

    MOL is not emulation. Heck, you need MOL to run Mac apps when you have Linux running on a Mac. Are you telling us that running Linux on a Mac changes the hardware and lets the magic Voodoo Mac ROM disappear?

  15. Re:Documentary? on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    So how many times did they report about huge WMD caches found? And how many of those did they retract? And no, finding a single ancient left-over sarin gas shell does not prove them nor Shrubya right.

  16. Re:George W Bush != Oymandias on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    He is a half-wit who thinks he's so smart. Those are the most dangerous.

  17. Re:Documentary? on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Anybody with half a brain would notice the editing. The fact that most of you idiots didn't until Rush told you about it means you shouldn't be owning guns.

  18. So where is the confirmation? on Apple Creates new iPod and Macintosh Divisions · · Score: 1

    I mean, in the last year we had dozens of streams of articles about Apple that turned out to be false. Like the sub $200 iPods, the "Apple buys Universal" or "Disney buys Apple". And they all (well, most) quoted a single article and that it was confirmed by an Apple spokesperson.

  19. Re:/. double standards? on Apple to Award Workgroup Clusters to Scientists · · Score: 1

    There is no special magic voodoo Mac ROM. It's just Open Firmware. And you fucking said "It won't run OS X unless the board has the proper Mac ROM". Run, not boot. Idiot indeed.

  20. Re:dates on The Logic Behind Metric Paper Sizes · · Score: 1

    The FAQ that on the line 5th says "July 2002", not " 2002, July"?

  21. Re:/. double standards? on Apple to Award Workgroup Clusters to Scientists · · Score: 1

    Wrong. There are no "proper Mac ROMs". Infact, MacOS X runs on the AmigaOne (via Mac On Linux).
