    And that's his couch then?

  3. Re:How Sincere... on Apple Settles with Tiger Leaker · · Score: 1

    Well according to TFA, the wording was indeed a term of the settlement.

  5. Re:It is a verry different thing on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    Untrue. I am not sure about KDE but I KNOW that icons on the GNOME desktop can be different sizes from each other.

  6. Re:Amiga Icons on A History of Icons · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now all leading OSes have single-image, fixed-size icons.

    Well as far as fixed sized goes, yo've obviousy never used Gnome or KDE with SVG icons. And icons in the Dock of OS X can be animated, likewise the systray in windows.

  7. Re:Finally, good non-CG animation on The Return of Wallace and Gromit · · Score: 1

    Thats not a CG, its a bigature!

  8. Re:Car thief magnet? on Mac mini in a Volkswagen · · Score: 1

    I'd be concerned too about having the Mac Mini stored in the glove compartment. It's going to get hot in there on sunny days. Will the CPU have adequate cooling?

    He should have put the mini in a mini. The glovebox is air-conditioned.

  9. Re:If the court decides they should compensate... on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 1

    But can you compensate for they wouldn't have had in the first place? I agree that the CherryOS guys should be stopped from violating the GPL, if they are, but the PearPC guys weren't selling their stuff anyway. Nobody bought CherryOS instead of PearPC and caused PearPC to lose money, since no one was charging for PearPC anyway.

  10. Re:That programmer... on 'Spamalot' Subscribers to Get Spam ... a Lot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you saying 'ni' to that programmer? What sad times these must be indeed where passing knaves can say 'ni' to programmers.

    I'm not familiar with Direct Connect at all.

    Obviously

    When was the last time you actually remembered an HP ad?

    That one with the pictures were they take them out of 3d space is pretty cool.

  13. Re:MD5 Incorrect on OpenSSH 4.0 & Portable OpenSSH 4.0p1 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Arrrrg! No! How do I trust this MD5 now? OpenSSH 4 has been compromised! Arrrrg! *Runs around in tin foil hat banging into walls*

  14. Arg on Companies Claim iTMS, iPod Patent Infringement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm so sick of this shit.

  15. Re:Cynical on PopCap Games Releases Open Source Framework · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the original BSD license in a sense (with the advertising clause).

  16. Re:Yeah - So Who's Lovin' It? on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    Speaking of Calc being "just as good" as Excel, does anyone know how to get Calc to have +/-x and y error bars based on cells in the sheet?

  17. Re:Great minds think alike. on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 1

    You mean to say its a chemical laser, but in a solid as opposed to gaseous state? Egads!

  18. Re:OS X on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    ^a and ^e don't work in my bash. Of course it might have something to do with my .inputrc looking like this: set editing-mode vi Mmm, vi keybindings everywhere. Well, everywhere that uses GNU readline anyway. (Of course, I don't actually use bash anyway, go ksh!)

  19. Re:Not an iPod doc on Was the Mac mini Intended to Have an iPod dock? · · Score: 1

    All the linksys stuff seems designed to be stackable.

  20. Re:Well, it is worse-- on Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim · · Score: 1

    I know, it has nothing to do with forgiveness, but the poster to whom I was replying mentioned "forgivingness" as one of his criteria and I pointed out that it was more forgiving.

  21. Re:Passcodes on Object-Oriented 'Save Game' Techniques? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, except make the password a "hash" (not really a hash because it has to be reversable) of the game state. This way its never the same! 160bit save file yeah!

  22. Re:This isn't that serious on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is my point though. If you don't trust any input from the query string, or POST or what have you, why are you going to make your users go through the extra song and dance of enabling popups?

  23. Re:This isn't that serious on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't it easier just to use POST instead of coming up with elaborate javascript workarounds to hide the address bar?

  24. Re:Jon Stewart on Daily Show Production Team Nets Creative Freedom · · Score: 1

    I wasn't ACTUALLY invoking Godwin. That would make no sense in this context. It was a joke. Notice the little humor-indicating glyph at the end of my post? You can say it wasn't funny, you can say it was in poor taste (although in a thread about Ted Hitler I dn't see how that works) but berating me because I applied the law incorrectly when I wasn't actually applying it is kind of annoying.

  25. Re:Define "late fees" on Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim · · Score: 1

    The difference is that Blockbuster's "montly habitation fee" isn't twice the rent, its much, much much, much less, and you have a much longer period of time before it gets charged. (if it gets charged).
