    Evidently, he needs CMYK for gif pictures that go on a web page. Maybe someday he'll explain why he isn't funny.

    And I learned that if you lock Sims in your upstairs torture chamber, with no tiles to sit, they eventually cry themselves to death.

  3. Re:Why I'm not afraid of the RIAA on Bearshare Shut Down by RIAA · · Score: 1
    it is my belief that people were frustrated (at this level) with the cost of music and Napster came along and showed people that there was another way to obtain music;

    Do you think Louisiana looters were frustrated at the high price of TVs? Or do you think they realized they could get it for free with virtually no risk of imprisonment? Same question applies to the Rodney King riots, NBA victory riots, etc.

    That was february of this year (the linked article has the date).

    I agree, not including the year with slashdot stories/comments is stupid.

  7. so what you're saying is... on Bearshare Shut Down by RIAA · · Score: 4, Funny

    I just heard some sad news on slashdot - P2P/Warez appBearshare was found dead in their New York colo this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss them- even if you didn't enjoy downloading britney spears songs or installing bonzai buddy, there's no denying their contributions to FREE music. Truly a DMCA icon.

    Especially since javascript also consumes space, and it needs to be sent every time

    Javascript can (and should) be put in a separate file, which allows browser caching. Alternatively, it can be sent and evaled as needed.

    Let's face the facts: The US and Europe are being overrun by spics and camel fuckers. That's not "intelligent life" by any standard.

  16. Re:Manager called 911 on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 1

    "statement" doesn't refer only to a spoken/written statement. Dressing as a police officer, for example, has been (successfully) prosecuted as a fraud. Having an organized group of people dressed similar to best buy employees walking into a store immediately satisfies 3 of the criteria. Intent and Injury are another matter, but not something the store personal would know at the time.

  17. Re:Manager called 911 on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 1

    911 was excessive, in hidnsight knowing this was an improv artist group. But they were guilty of fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. Not knowing their intentions, it would be easy to assume they were attempting something more sinister.

    If the CPU or MMU reording causes problems, you're probably doing something wrong/stupid in the first place. I have been bitten by compiler optimizations though:

    while (!*someExternPtr) ...

    being optimized to:

    temp = *someExternPtr; while (!temp) ...

    volatile is your friend.

    UFS doesn't have native support for resource forks (they fake it with hidden folders, like with MS FAT disks).

  21. Re:fork a new branch on Places Feature Cut From Firefox 2 · · Score: 1

    The firefox fork was started by 2 paid mozilla developers. So far, SeaMonkey development has consisted almost entirely of backporting firefox/gecko patches. Not a real success story.

  22. Re:fork a new branch on Places Feature Cut From Firefox 2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can fork it, in theory, but mozilla/firefox is a huge beast. Most of the people that work on it are paid mozilla developers. forking large, complicated projects is difficult. Offhand, I can only think of gcc/egcs (which later re-merged) emacs/xemacs, *BSD (core developers leaving), and xfree86X/Free.org (again, core developers leaving). Unless the firefox programmers want to give up their paid job, (or spare time after work), there won't be a fork.
