  1. Re:I would pay on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    As of 3.0, Firefox no longer looks like ass on OS X (ie, it uses aqua-looking controls unless overridden with CSS). Of course, img + DOM Events, etc means native look and feel is irrelevant. Hell, even slashdot uses custom buttons.

  2. Re:It's a hack! on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    just speculation here... but javascript is compiled to native x86 code. They probably use their own high performance malloc routines rather than asking win32 for every chunk (I think WebKit uses google's malloc routines as well), so the raw javascript performance should be close to native.

  3. Re:Can anyone explain... on Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe it shows how out of touch you are. Roxio bought the napster name in 2002. They spent a lot of money on advertising and marketing. They failed miserably. The only people that make money on music downloads is the RIAA.

  4. Re:Just a name... on Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster · · Score: 2, Informative

    Roxio didn't do a particularly good job of making money with the napster name.

  5. Re:Knight Foundation? on Berners-Lee Launches New W3 Foundation · · Score: 1

    Looks like the Right Wing John McCain Atack Machine is once again injecting race into the presidential race. They talk about "black cars", that's jsut another subtle form of racism. Or they'll call me a "community organizer", another keyword for black guy. Or they'll talk about the fact that my name is muslim, my father was muslim, my step father was muslim, and I went to a muslim school and prayed to allah 5 times daily to scare you. This contest is about the issues, like uh, uh, like, umm. Damnit, teleprompter broke again.

  6. Re:So what? on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The average users doesn't use linux. The average user doesn't care if they click a EULA before running firefox.

  7. So what? on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    If it bothers you, use Ice Weasel or compile it yourself without the EULA.

  8. Re:Amazon.mp3 on Apple Rejects iPhone App As Competitive To iTunes · · Score: 0, Troll

    do you also prefer slavery to freedom? Neither the iPhone nor and Windows platform gives you the freedom of open source.

  9. Re:One Can Hope on Apple Rejects iPhone App As Competitive To iTunes · · Score: 1

    I don't know (or care) about programming for the Symbian, but the iPhone has a decent API and development tools. For people with OS X development experience, the learning curve is minimal to non existent.

  10. Re:A few points.... on Judge Rules Defense Can Get DUI Machine Source Code · · Score: 1

    An attorney/teacher of mine was defending a man charged in a hit and run incident. It was early in the morning, he was driving on a dark road. He thought he hit a deer, stopped, looked around, then drove home, not seeing the jogger (dressed in dark clothing) lying in the ditch. People asked, "how can you defend him?".

    Then they asked him how to get out of a speeding ticket that they rightfully deserved but didn't want to pay.

  11. Re:Not so simple once you really think about it on Stuck In Google's Doghouse · · Score: 1

    Are you sure they're not acting in good faith? Google gets paid per click, not per impression. If other ads are more profitable for them to show, why should they show his?

  12. Re:Printing on Examining Chrome's Source Code · · Score: 1

    I'm printing out things like shipping labels and business related letters that can't have that stuff on them.

    What part of that don't you understand?

  13. Re:Yay for the Doors on Full Guitar Hero: World Tour Set List Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    They used a bassist in some of the studio recordings.

    that was a dude. You were trolled. Don't feel bad, you weren't trolled as bad as fyodor. That was funny.

    I've heard of MILFs (hell, I've fucked a few :). I've heard of VPILFs. but what's a NILF?

  17. Re:cheap on Sun Bare Metal Hypervisors Now GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    I'm a happy OS X virtual box user. There have been a lot of improvements and refinements since Sun bought them (the OS X version works, for example :)

  18. government vs provate industry on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    everytime someone points out how incomptent the government is (do you want healthcare run like the dmv?), the obvious retort is "private industry fucks up too!", which is true. However, private industry doesn't write laws (at least without congress voting on it!) or have the ability to seize your property, strip your liberties, or throw you in jail.

  19. Re:Forget privacy mode on Et Tu, Mozilla? Firefox 3 To Get Privacy Mode · · Score: 1

    so it would not allow you to quit, minimize, or hide the window, and maybe play an audio file ("HEY EVERYBODY! I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!"). Sounds good.

  20. Re:Interesting. on Ubuntu To Pay for Upgrades To the Free Software User Experience · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Audacity runs on macs. I tried it when I needed to extract the audio from a quicktime movie [Quicktime pro can do that, but I didn't want to pay the money]. Total failure. Garage Band was able to do it, though. Back on topic, I suspect Garage Band would have worked for splitting up the file.

  21. Re:umm on Learning Drupal 6 Module Development · · Score: 1

    Just download the torrents. It's not our job to support their outdated distribution system. They should be giving the book away for free and make money by selling tshirts at LUG meetings.

  22. Re:Apple is a niche player? on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 2, Informative

    They also have the iPod touch, which is an iPhone without the phone, GPS, microphone and camera.

  23. Re:You're an 1D10T on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ping replies can be disabled. MACs can be faked. But everyone who supports more government ought to take a look at the incompetence here.
