    Oh, why? You can always build a machine that can read leather-bound hardcopies of source code thus making said copy machine-readable. The source code distributor can event build it itself and sell it to you for some heavenly nice amount of money.

  6. But CPUs? on AMD Launches World's First Mobile DirectX 11 GPUs · · Score: 1

    Somehow it feels that AMD is completely loosing it's focus on CPUs. Great wins at graphics market every few months but nothing (really) exciting coming on CPU front. That's sad.

    We should agree that when the format is DD MM YYYY, we use dots between the numbers, and when it's MM DD YYYY, we use slash between them. When it's YYYY MM DD, we should use dash between the numbers. There - everything clear!

    It's amazing how many people think that downloading something is illegal and that even on Slashdot. You have been greatly brainwashed. How did that happen?

  17. Re:FF 3 in portage on Firefox 2 and Gecko 1.8 End of Life · · Score: 1

    Is it a) 3GHz Pentium 4? or b) 3GHz Core2? If (a) then it's really not serious bug because that's a really crap processor (do not argue with me - i'm really stubborn, I have decided long time ago don't give a f*** about what you think you have to say). Was when introduced and most certainly is now. But when (b) then that's pretty serious regression on firefox part. 5400 lines of and doesn't sound like impossible to handle in meaningful time. Like in couple of seconds or so.

    If enough people vote for nobody then this might make all the difference. Really, what's good of president that has the support of (for example) 11% of population when 80% of the population didn't want to see none of the proposed candidates at the wheel.
