  1. Re:Midas Touch on Reproducing an Ancient New World Beer · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid my time machine is in the garage for an oil change on the temporal actuator. Mind if I borrow yours for a moment ? I'll be back before I'm gone.

  2. Re:Midas Touch on Reproducing an Ancient New World Beer · · Score: 1

    Not so much a recipe as a partial list of ingredients, really, but an interesting base to start from nevertheless. Any idea where I could get ancient greek yeast ?

  3. Re:Makes sense on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    Umm... Psychology isn't really one of the "hard" sciences, and, indeed, priests and other sympathetic shoulders have been practicing forms of psychology for centuries.

  4. Re:Global warming is the cause on The Sun's Odd Behavior · · Score: 1

    I keep saying we should just shoot our nuclear waste into the sun. That should give it the vitamin shot it needs to get it's act together again.

    So if I go watch a movie at a friends' place, and he's playing a pirated copy; I'm liable, too ?

  6. Re:KDE on Sneak Preview For Coming KDE SC 4.5 · · Score: 1

    I won't say for tabs, but the windows 3.1 filemanager had split view, and had so way before that version. Hell, PC Shell and Norton Commander on DOS had split view.

    Yes, it can be useful at times, but two separate windows allow for much more flexibility on the few times that I actually use a split view.

    I continues to amaze me how you KDE fanbois can keep looking at the resurrection of an ancient mummy as if it's a golden miracle straight from your favorite deity's arse.

  7. Re:Pfft. on Video Gamers Have Power Over Their Dreams · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure, but wouldn't breaking your moral compass in a dream constitute a nightmare ? For me, the things on my compass tend to be rather defining of who and what I am.

  8. Re:Finally! on Titanium Oxide For High-Density Optical Storage · · Score: 1

    You mean, like (e)SATA 2T disks at € 0.06 per gig ?

    Gah. For a moment, there, I thought you were referring to the other respondent's "Isn't your porn collection sticky enough already?".

    I'm off to buy some steel wool for my brain scrubbing, now.

    If we *were* in a universe simulator, we wouldn't know the difference, so this is still how we would react.

    I dunno, mate. You could genetically engineer some pretty big beavers.

    Yes, and no.

    > Because of points 1 and 2, uncrackable DRM/Copy Protection would produce no significant increase in revenue -- certainly nowhere near the absurd number claimed by the BSA.

    Now consider that they may actually realise this, and you have an explanation why DRM never turns out as good as it could be.

    "Disease" ?

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    I'll not ask how much research you've done to establish this, but I know quite a few of my friends shave, and I'm not Danish.

    Meh, it's ultimately harmless, just itchy :-)

    Besides, given that those creatures don't really thrive on bald patches, that trick is gonna be very much limited to the latter years of school.

    Because there are cultures where groups of friends have no issues discussing these kinds of things ? Because some people have sexual experiences outside of wedlock ?

    There's any number of reasons, and I don't really see the issue.

  21. Re:cheating the laws on EA Introduces "Online Pass" To Get In On Used Games Market · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, but surely you see how immoral that is ? That's like giving USED money to the game companies. You wouldn't want to use USED toilet paper now, would you ?

    No, you need to give them NEW money, you filthy pirate scum.

    Uhh... I tried that layout several years ago, can't even remember which distro, and didn't like it. It was just a setting somewhere in the Gnome window manager, iirc.

    Agreed, but he *is* right that the default, standard distros that Joe Random User is likely to come into contact with all tend towards either the windows or the mac screen layout.

    That may not be that bad a thing, either - your granny isn't very likely to switch if she's got to learn a whole different way of working with computers.

    In the current climate, I fear that your scenario would lead to anyone outside of the corporate world that has a full-featured computer will be considered highly suspect.
