  1. Caps-Lock IS useful, to me. on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    At least on a Linux French keyboard, the capslock key is the only way to get upperase accentuated letters, like ÉÈÇÀ. I hope there will be an alternative way of entering them.

  2. Re:Someone's gonna get in trouble... on Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain · · Score: 1

    [...] he'll be marked as a terrorist and in the cross hairs of watch-list databases for the next decade.

    Don't screw with the cops man, at best it's a College frat gone bad. However technically right you may be this is playing with fire while surrounded by dynamite.

    Mmmh ... from the sound of it you don't seem to be living in a democracy. What's the name of your country already ?

  3. Re:Ready, fire, aim! on Steve Jobs Hints At Theora Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Yeah sure. And the browser "war" was over when Netscape Navigator lost and Internet Explorer won. What a brillant analysis man.

  4. Re:if everyone ignored the quacks... on Use Open Source? Then You're a Pirate! · · Score: 1
    Of course, and I want to have sex with every beautiful woman I meet, but I don't do it because when the other partner isn't willing to do it it's called rape and it's evil.

    So willing something doesn't automatically make it not evil.

  5. How about the other ones ? on Cell Phone Data Predicts Movement Patterns · · Score: 1

    it may be possible to predict human movement patterns and location up to 93 percent of the time.

    The remaining 7% are deviant, they're probably onto some terrorist task of some sort and should be Guantanamoed.

  6. I need a proof on No Glasses Needed For TI's New 3D Display · · Score: 1

    I'll believe it when I see a photo.

  7. Re:What? on Open Source 3D Nvidia Driver Is Ready For Fedora 13 · · Score: 1, Informative

    Do some people really use markedly inferior software simply because it is open source, even if a better competitor is available at no cost?

    The NVIDIA driver has a huge cost: you know the day NVIDIA wants your card to be obsolete and replaced, they'll stop shipping the driver. They did it in the past and will continue to do it because they think it makes them more profitable. Plus, you don't know what's in their driver, no one can make it work with your custom kernel if there's a problem.

    Only if your don't value your freedom, the NVIDIA driver has no cost (but then you're better with MacOS or Windows).

  8. I'm disapointed on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    We don't need 99.99999% of the speed of light. We need FTL (Faster Than Light), for before 2012 please !

  9. Re:they fight for control on Mobile Operators Fight App Store Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    You deserve more than 5 points for that.

  10. Way to go ! on Advanced Social Skills For Humanoid Robots · · Score: 1

    Knowing the average nerd has no social skill, how about making those cocktail-party-robots trainers for us nerds ? Think about it. Personal Social Home Trainer. Now with opposite-sex-target-locking mode.

  11. Re:Windows Phone 7 Series Video on Does Microsoft Finally Have a Phone Worth Buying? · · Score: 1

    Mmmh .. all this white-on-blue things, for a Windows-based OS ... looks all crashy to me.

  12. You don't deserve being called a geek ... on Google Considered Too Big To Fail · · Score: 1

    For replacing GMail, you can always use POP access to download your mail and keep it locally

    And loosing all your precious information, like in which folder it is, is it tagged as read, important, etc. ? No way.

    The only way to properly copy/move your GMail box is to use IMAPSync (or something alike, but IMAPSync is the best).

    For the truly paranoids, you can even regularly backup all your mail from GMail to another IMAP server (say, your own Cyrus imapd), so you can't be taken by surprise when Google pulls the plug.

  13. Re:Pro-piracy on Man Fined $1.5 Million For Leaked Mario Game · · Score: 0

    You're absolutely right; the man's a criminal, and should be prosecuted as any other thief.

    We don't have the same meaning for crime. This guy did somthing wrong, that's for sure. But he didn't kill anybody. Calling what he did a crime is really too far-fetched.

  14. Re:There is a lesson to learn there on Nexus One First Phone Linus Torvalds "Doesn't Hate" · · Score: 1
    Or maybe the lesse is:

    Linus has become too old to spend time tinkering with new hardware.

  15. Re:HDMI mess on 3D HDMI Specification Is Set Free · · Score: 1

    Same thing here. Though I'd love to buy one ove those 65" TV sets, but without the tuner and multimedia crap, just a biiig monitor with one DVI or HDMI or Displayport plug. Please !

  16. Re:Well, if you can't compete... on Motorola Asks ITC To Ban BlackBerry Imports · · Score: 1

    Arrrgh .. no mod points !

    There's more than one kind of elephant.

    The European elephant and the African elephant ?

    I have the very same question about WebGL. I've been waiting for that feature for a while ...

  20. Re:I've used it on Does Your PC Really Need a SysRq Button Anymore? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You don't. You keep Alt+SysRq pressed, and you press S, U and B in sequence.

  21. Err .. no it's not on Google.cn Has Already Lifted Censorship · · Score: 1
  22. Re:1000 times on Bell Labs Says Networks Can Be 1000 Times More Energy Efficient · · Score: 3, Funny

    I assume they are using Base 10.

    Hey, actually maybe they use base 2. They got the hint from the harddrive marketing guys.

  23. Re:six axes? on Razer, Valve, and Sixense Working On Motion Control For PC Games · · Score: 3, Informative

    They're nos axis, but rotation instead of translation along the same axis. They're called Degrees of Freedom, so a game allowing uncosntrained movement is 6DoF.

  24. Re:Ohh so on Mars Images Reveal Evidence of Ancient Lakes · · Score: 0

    Don't think so. But maybe the Earth will be like Mars once we have completed our "pollute-everything-you-can" task.

  25. Re:Adult Content Island and verification. on Whatever Happened To Second Life? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Second Life was the one MMO, however crude that you could have sex in.

    I don't think we have the same definition for having sex. It's a computer game ! Where's the real flesh ?
