    dont know about you, but i dont usually walk and jerk off at the same time.

    Yeah, AC. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight

  3. Re:Notification for everything on Interesting Uses For a USB LED Screen? · · Score: 1

    I don't need 2 seconds to react to someone stopping in front of me, and I doubt you do either. Furthermore, I have just as long as the person in front does to stop – in fact, longer, because I also have the space between me and them.

    Yes, and all of our grandmothers suck at driving, and they probably don't pay attention. I would advise you to give a person 2 seconds unless you know them personally.

  5. Re:Internet crimes, like rape? on MySpace Verdict a Danger To Depressed Kids · · Score: 1

    Right, because I'm a hysterical female, right? (BTW, look up the etymology of hysterical some time.)

    Now, I have obviously liked things you've said in the past, but bitch, this is the weft of which hysteria is cut. And to speak nothing of hysteria, if you put derogatory words in your opponent's mouth, you're just a plan asshole.

    what about an eleven year old boy?

    Naw, it's cool for an eleven-year old boy to fuck a 17-year old girl.

  8. Re:FUCK TEJANO MUSIC!!! on Adventure Game Interfaces and Puzzle Theory · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I dunno, do the Germans have hot bitches hanging around in daisy dukes in their music videos? And, I don't know, man. I haven't been exposed to much German polka, but from what I've heard, the Mexican shit is better. Marginally.

    And, in defense of accordions, I dare say this is badass.

  9. Re:Well of course on Wind and Sun Beat Other Energy Alternatives · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have seen estimates that it would take a square around 92 miles on the side or 8,464 square miles of solar thermal generation to power the US.

    That's really not that big. It's only twice the size of the greater Los Angeles area, for instance.

    Fair trade. Let's do it.

  10. Correction on Ubisoft Testing PC Prince of Persia Without DRM · · Score: 1

    and the people who wanted to buy the game but wouldn't because of the draconian rules imposed on them to deter the pirates--who, remember, are unaffacted by DRM--now have the onus of responsibility ON THEM?

  11. Your customers need to prove themselves????(!) on Ubisoft Testing PC Prince of Persia Without DRM · · Score: 1

    So this dipshit is saying that his customers need to prove themselves? But people pirating games are not his customers. And DRM is something that doesn't affect 99.9% of pirates, but affects ALL customers.

    And it is the people implementing DRM that are making the allegation that DRM forces me to buy the game. So the the game pirating community proved them wrong, and the people who wanted to buy the game but wouldn't because of the draconian rules imposed on them to deter the pirates--who, remember, are unaffacted by DRM--and now they are telling their customers that the onus of proof is on THEM?!

    What the fuck are you talking about, man? Seriously. Did you go to college? You can always go back to community college and take some critical thinking courses.

    And yeah, the education is pretty bad there. Just look at how poorly people in Portugal speak Spanish, it's almost as bad as Brazil!

    That depends. Are they going, "Huuuu! Huuuu!" or "I herd u liek mudkips?"

  15. Re:Specs on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Good advice, but if that's the case, I would put together specs, then have a meeting about them.

    I mean, being organized is not that hard, and if people's feelings get hurt because one or two of their ideas are shitty, they are definitely NOT wiser. Older, maybe.

    I only read your post because I thought you were abbreviating the F-word.

    Good point, though.

  19. Re:"Torture." Right. on Musicians Protest Use Of Songs By US Jailers · · Score: 1

    Well, we could:
    1. Follow the Geneva conventions, because we want to not get our asses laughed at when we bitch about people torturing OUR citizens.
    2. Not imprison people based on shaky intelligence.
    3. Make torture illegal.

    Why can't we do things the good old-fashioned way, where you could torture people, and if you got found out, you'd get shit-canned? That would be awesome.

    Sort of the way that MS open sourced the development of, say, the XBox or the Zune?

    Yes, but you have to brave the dungeons of a pasty geek to get said money.

  23. Re:Not a good example... on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 1

    The way I explain it to people is that there are thousands of people who have to write code to provide the service that they charge for. Open source software provides a forum for them to share in the progress of others while contributing back to the community. That way, if there are 100 guys who need a timer for an internet cafe [or something simple that the layperson will understand], one person writes it, and the remaining 99 can use the time they saved improving on it, or writing something else they need.

    Either way, I'm charging money for my Internet cafe, not my coding. Sharing it doesn't lose me any money.

    OTOH, I wouldn't download a car, would I? :P

    OP is not asking if the OS should be open-sourced. They're asking if the platform should be open for development.

    Two vastly different things.
