  1. Re:Coconuts? on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just remember: you don't know what coconuts do when nobody's watching them.

  2. Most excellent, thank you on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 2, Funny

    Always nice to have solid ammunition for arguments in bars.



    ...

    Well, what sort of bars do you go to?

  3. "Octopus" is Latinized Greek on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 2

    There's really no precedent.

    I think octopi, octopodes, and octopedes are all accepted.

  4. hehehe, nice one on Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL E-Commerce · · Score: 1

    PHP was born in 1995, mods.

    +1 Informative indeed.

  5. Too right! on 18th International Obfuscated C Code Contest Opens · · Score: 3, Funny

    As we all know, programming and fun are mutually exclusive. It's completely inconceivable that someone might have, I don't know, a good time writing code.

  6. whee offtopic on The PC Is Not Dead · · Score: 1

    I find your weblog delicious and would like to subscribe to your news feed.

    On-topic: Uhm...those are some good points there.

  7. firefox, too on Symantec: Mac OS X Becoming a Malware Target · · Score: 1

    See also Symantec: Mozilla-based browsers increasingly targeted by hackers.

    As a user of Firefox on OS X, I'm terrified.

  8. 'linux distros'? on Nielsen Report Says Internet Usage Flattening · · Score: 2, Funny

    Has "linux distros" become the universal euphamism for "porn and music" these days or are people really downloading Linux 24/7?

  9. i dunno on Will Sun's Java Go Open Source? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Lots of people use PHP instead of JSP, even for "enterprise*" applications.

    *PS: The word "enterprise" in any software context is bogus.

  10. He shouldn't have to keep his mouth shut on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some guy noodling around in his 20% time to profess his love for OS X hardly seems like something the legal department (or any damn department) should concern themselves with.

    Then again, I've had a few beers and can imagine the world, with a few minor tweaks, being perfect like that.

  11. seriously on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Linux being a major server operating system wasn't the claim, and is completely irrelevant.

    The parent says it's growing slowly, you say it's growing fast, but neither of you have pointed to any evidence to back it up. I'm not the one making spurious claims, therefore the burden of proof is not on me. If it's so easy to Google for solid evidence, why have you not done it in support of your claim?

  12. could be on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    or it could be, you know, a thing that aggregates news.

    Wait, no, it's Microsoft. Must have some nefarious purpose.

  13. pretty hard, apparently on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 2, Funny

    How hard is supporting png transparency?

    When you work for Microsoft, that shit is tough.

  14. References, please on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    On what do you base the statement that Linux is gaining ground?

  15. mmh on PHP 5 Power Programming · · Score: 1

    Can anybody point me to a single, succinct document describing the difference between php 4 and 5? Something I can read while I eat this lovely cheese sandwich would be super.

  16. Two things on Gmail Goes Public · · Score: 2, Informative
  17. Re:The question is: on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It contradicts your point because pointing to beta websites that don't support Safari for their first week or two in public hardly indicates that Safari is having trouble getting people to support them.

  18. Re:The question is: on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They already have trouble getting people to support them for complex webapps (examples: Google Maps, gmail).

    Christ. Google Maps and Gmail are beta products. It's not as if they had no intention of supporting Safari until people started bitching.

  19. oh no! on Google Adds Features and Plugin to Desktop Search · · Score: 2, Funny

    They've discovered our super-secret technique for extending Firefox!

  20. standard on U.S. Justice Dept. Chooses Corel over Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    Something, such as a practice or a product, that is widely recognized or employed, especially because of its excellence.

    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=standard

    While the "excellence" is debatable, the fact that .doc is a standard isn't.

  21. Re:Architecture != source code on Problems With the Firefox Development Process · · Score: 1

    I know, the first link was me being entirely facetious.

    Any understanding of the architecture I have is from reading the source.

  22. Re:Is this compelling? on WinFS to be available in WinXP · · Score: 2, Informative

    WebDAV...It's gone, largely, nowhere.

    Mac OS X uses WebDav to mount iDisks. Tons of web developers use it in Dreamweaver.

    I don't know if that's exactly somewhere, but it surely isn't nowhere.

  23. ok on Problems With the Firefox Development Process · · Score: 5, Informative
  24. Oh yeah? on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested · · Score: 2, Funny

    What are you going to do? Start your own website in your treehouse and get all your little friends to come? I'd like to see that!

  25. i've still got to swallow that beer on Yahoo Turns 10; Free Ice Cream for America · · Score: 1

    sounds like work to me.
