    I think I'll wait for the VimPod.

    Lots of restaurants seem to have this tech already anyway, with out the un-tethered aspect. They just have a buncha kiosks at (what I am assuming are) strategically placed locations.

  8. Re:Eating Left Handed on The King of the Mushroom Kingdom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good. I'd rather be a "baka gaijin" than a close-mouthed racist. If I'm doing something that offends you, you have to tell me or else I'll never know.

    Newton is dead. I miss it too. Give it up though. Just...Let...It...Go.

    Addendum to 2, even students with cell phones don't necessarily have cell phones with bluetooth.

  13. Re:Want companies to adopt GIMP? on A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing · · Score: 1

    I tried to check the OED. It wasn't rendering properly in Shiira (WebKit).

  14. Re:Want companies to adopt GIMP? on A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing · · Score: 1

    None of those entries says anything about GIMP meaning beautiful or attractive in any sense. You do know its an acronym right?

  15. Re:And still nobody will care on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1

    Before the tinfoil hatters come out, and blame the ??AA or the Government, think: when was the last time you watched one of those old Star Trek episodes you taped 15 years ago "in case you ever wanted to watch them again"?

    You've obviously never met my aunt.

  16. Re:What apple should do now on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1

    Mind naming the specific device?

  17. Re:Flavours? on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Have you ever interacted with real, living people? There are plenty of pro-windows people who don't work for microsoft, and know what they are doing. Yes, they ocassionally bitch about a BSOD, but then I've been known to bitch about X locking up, or having to relaunch the finder. Doesn't mean they don't like Windows. Some people really do. Its not some giant MS conspiracy.

    You keep using that command, I do not think it does what you think it does.

    Speaking anecdotally (I own a DS btw) I have seen way more people on the NYC Subway system with PSPs than DSes. Of course I also see way more iPods and GBA SPs than either of those two.

  20. Re:Weird article. Warioware has no multiplayer opt on Nintendo DS Wireless Game Roundup · · Score: 1

    This is really bothering me, the only two player game I've got on my copy of warioware is the ping pong. Is it a toy you have to win or something to get wireless multiplay? Did they just make it up? *confused*

  21. Re:Don't forget Catalyst! on A Piece of CherryPy for CGI Programmers · · Score: 1

    With mod_rewrite you can do that with any CGI in any language.

    And speed wise Python kicks Ruby's ass [debian.org] for now.

  24. Re:Great. on Usability Eye for The GIMP Guy · · Score: 1

    No, you should just move the files, and then be prompted that to do this you need to be root and it should ask you for the password. You definitely shouldn't need to go to superuser before you start performing the action.

  25. Re:let's just get this out of the way: on Laser Cannons Coming to an F-16 Near You · · Score: 1

    (Geneva conventions state that we can't attack people with lasers)

    No, it says you can't blind people with lasers, on purpose. (It's ok if you blind them accidentally)
