  1. Re:Gosh!!! on Taking Action For Free JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Because definitely the main purpose of minifying is to obfuscate code...

  2. Re: Gosh!!! on Taking Action For Free JavaScript · · Score: 2

    I seriously doubt anyone would object to your last point. Myself, I'd be proud if you picked my code (were I to actually stoop to writing JavaScript) to masturbate over.

  3. Re:How well does Google Business work for calendar on Boston Replacing Microsoft Exchange With Google Apps · · Score: 1

    Don't know what Exchange offers, but it's easy to share calendars (dunno if you can make a calendar private and only allow a group of people to view it, without manually adding the people one by one, but yeah), for people to view others' calendars, and to find 'free time for all'.

  4. Re:OK, stick a fork in them, they're done. on Apple Hides Samsung Apology So It Can't Be Seen Without Scrolling · · Score: 1

    I still remember laughing ecstatically at the big bad Pentium's FDIV bug that was taking down all the brand new PCs my hall mates were buying.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

  5. Re:Biggest problem: support, customization on Navigating the Vast Ocean of Open Source · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What you're saying is that if you call the company behind a closed source, they'll be happy to take your money and develop your feature?

  6. Re:Troll Indeed on The Truth About Hiring "Rock Star" Developers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like your employer/colleagues were pieces of shit. Doesn't necessarily mean that's the norm, or that you can't find better. But, keep on fighting the good fight, sir!

  7. Re:Do no evil indeed on Google Caught Misbehaving By Kenyan Startup · · Score: 1

    Only, McDonalds is mostly a franchise. But, yeah, sure.

  8. Re:Not about language preferences on Techrights Recommends An Apple Boycott · · Score: 1

    On the first point, since Android is open source and I can't download all of that source either I see no reason why the partial codebase of iOS does not qualify.

    You can download all of Android's sources.

    Where can I download Moto-Blur?

    Moto-blur is not Android, it's a replacement UI developed by Motorola. Which, btw, is not as easy to do in iOS (and probably a breach of contract).

    the second is at least a questionable claim, given that language preferences vary so much.

    That has nothing to do with it. The fact is Objective-C make code injection incredibly easy, which means it's much easier to hook into and modify specific parts of existing applications.

    It's not about language preference, it's about a specific side effect of iOS software being written in Objective-C.

    But then again, that's not exactly allowed, is it?

  9. Re:The BSD community just doesn't accept stupidity on Andrew Tanenbaum On Minix, Linux, BSD, and Licensing · · Score: 1

    Unless you're using the old BSD license (with the advertising clause), BSD is compatible with GPL. And as far as I know, pretty much everyone moved away from that.

  10. Re:Interesting... on Skilled Readers Recognize Words By Shape · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'll be reading a book and then realise I've been on auto-pilot for the last 3 pages and actually have no recollection of what I just read.

    That happens to me too, but what makes it especially annoying is that when I re-read, I recognize it and slowly start remembering what I read.

  11. Maybe they think Unity is good on Are Power Users Too Cool For Ubuntu Unity? · · Score: 1

    because they cannot track the bugs people report against the package in that piece of shit launchpad.

    How exactly do you buy things ONLINE?

    With a debit card.

  13. Re:Poor understanding of English on French Court Orders ISP To Block Police Misconduct Website · · Score: 1

    My point was, integrity (values/moral, figurative definition) of policemen works just as well as the literal one. If anything, integrity as being whole, seems to me would apply better to the police corps, not to an individual: intégrité, nom féminin Sens 1 Etat d'une chose qui n'a pas été altérée Chose means thing, and while you can apply this to a person, it just sounds weird. But, we're just splitting hairs here. :-P

  14. Re:I'm sure we all know this... on EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Lazy journalism. The coldfusion stuff was made by Luis Majano, whereas the logbox the nutcase in question is talking about was made by this guy: http://www.fabioghioni.net/blog/2011/10/20/internet-e-l%E2%80%99arbitrio-assoluto-sui-dati-dei-service-provider-presentata-al-parlamento-l%E2%80%99iniziativa-per-un-sistema-di-controllo-sotto-garante/

  15. Re:Poor understanding of English on French Court Orders ISP To Block Police Misconduct Website · · Score: 1

    How can you tell which of the two meanings they used? From what I see on http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/atteinte , it's more likely to be used with the figurative sense of intégrité.

  16. Privacy? on French Court Orders ISP To Block Police Misconduct Website · · Score: 1

    My French is very rusty and google translate doesn't work with https (and I'm too lazy to copy paste everything by hand), but from what I saw, it has photos and names, no addresses, phone numbers or shoesize. It also had screenshots of facebook with them saying they hate non white people and similar for a couple of them.
    The article is misleading, yes. But so is saying they're disclosing personal oh-so-sensitive information.

    It is illegal to do that in Romania. As it is to deny that the Holocaust happened.

    By the by, do SI users measure their weight in newtons (the correct unit) or kg (from what I remember from when I lived in Germany, the one they actually use)?

    So, wait. What do Americans measure weight in? Or are you saying two wrongs (not using SI and not using the right unit) makes it right?
