  1. Re:Google Drive on Google Drive Launching Next Week With 5GB Free Space · · Score: 1

    Google isn't a charity. Giving away free storage doesn't make money in and of itself. Will they charge for more space? Show ads? Read your docs and blackmail you?

    (And yes, the same point is true for dropbox et alia).

  2. Re:Gather evidence. on Whistleblower In Limbo After Reporting H-1B Visa Fraud At Infosys · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet infosys is feeling stupid for outsourcing the death threats instead of using American IT workers to plant kiddy porn on his computer.

  3. Re:Go, Renderscript, and Android on Oracle and Google Spar Over Whether Programming Languages Can Be Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    Nobody (with an exception for retards and FUDge packers) claims APIs are covered by the GPL.

  4. Re:ChromeOS different to Android 4.0? on Chrome OS Introduces Aura Window Manager · · Score: 2, Informative

    Chrome is linux running a web browser and nothing but a web browser. Android is linux with a bastard java stack that can run arbitrary applications.

    Just post a few dick pics and they'll take care of the rest.

    Can you also test for why the laws of physics are they way they are? Can you test for why there was a big bang in the first place?

    You can write software to simulate the early universe. If gravity is too strong, it collapses back on itself. Too weak, stars won't form. And in this simulated universe, Korin43 is God, the one who set the laws of physics. Run your simulation long enough and planets will form, life will form, and intelligence will form. And they'll develop formulas to describe the laws of physics around them. But they won't know that those laws are just some numbers that God (aka Korin43) put in a config file before running the simulation.

    My preist uses a laptop (running ubuntu and libre office) to keep track of all the boys he sexually molests.

  8. Re:Religion's Selective Science on Technology For the Masses: Churches Going Hi-Tech · · Score: 2

    What's the difference between "God created the universe" vs "big bang created the universe"? Did you know the big bang/expansion hypothesis was from Georges Lematre, a Belgian preist -- "The Cosmic Egg exploding at the moment of creation", as he described it.

  9. Re:Does this mean even more pown'd windows boxes? on Windows Vista Enters Extended Support · · Score: 0, Troll

    Windows 2000 added the "not a complete piece of shit" feature.

    Opera claims to support it:

    Minimum configuration
    Windows 2000 on a Pentium II
    128 MB of RAM
    20 MB of free disk space

  11. Re:Still More Than Google Makes On Apple Devices on Google Earns $2 Per Handset; Apple, $575 · · Score: 1

    You might want to re-think your timeline. Google bought Android before the iPhone was announced. At the time, it looked a lot like a blackberry knockoff -- rollerball, shitty menu navigation, no software keyboard, etc.

  12. Re:Let's wait on Will Kickstarter Launch a Gaming Renaissance? · · Score: 2

    100% agreement. I kicked the bucket for wasteland 2 based on nothing but the title. No concept art, no details, no script treatment, nothing but a title and a hope for the game I wanted.

    Remember Barack Obama in 2008? He had the hope and change, but no details. He was an empty canvas of sorts on which you could imagine he'd do all the things you supported. There was something for everybody. Then he got elected, started making decisions instead of speeches, and the thrill was gone.

    Every wasteland status update will disappoint somebody (don't get me started on the "social aspects").

    They get a white box that says "Missing Plug-In"?

    I read about it a couple days ago (in ACM) and there was no MOS as of then. There was the Motorola 6800, though.

    The ITC rejected B&N's antitrust complainst against Microsoft.

    Ahh, the "let's make things worse so maybe later we can make things better" approach.

    It seems a cast system has been formed based on peoples education levels

    That's "caste".

    Some people look, sound, or act Jewish. Just like some people look, sound, or act black. Not everybody, of course, but there are many for whom stereotypes are not stereotypes.

  25. Re:My school's CS club is very disappointed on Google I/O Sells Out In 20 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Objective C is a superset of C, so if you know Objective C, you know C.

    And it's hardly GUI only -- consider the Foundation Kit (NSString, NSArray, NSData, NSDictionary, etc).
