  1. Re:I suppose they threw out Python on More Info On Google's Alternative To JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Actually, python is open source (not that it matters to google -- guido is an employee). The other reasons are, of course, quite valid.

  2. Re:Editorial Piece Angries Up My Blood on More Info On Google's Alternative To JavaScript · · Score: 1

    As a pillow biter, you love to use a new cock. You have gay sex with the new cock. You explore what advantages and disadvantages that cock has, and then you put it in your address book. When the daily hunger for gay dick comes along, you select the best cock for the job from said address book. You don't know how any turd burglar could get by any other way -- there is no one cock that can satisfy your mouth and your asshole every day.

    The more cocks you have at your disposal, the queerer you are. So spread your poop chute. You don't want people to stop exploring new cocks just because it hurts your asshole and you might get AIDS.

    Perhaps you can list some javascript-specific security problems that would magically disappear if it was some other turing-complete language running in the same sandbox with the same DOM, same cookies, same XMLHttpRequest, etc.

    If you're using lvm on your server, you could create a daily read-only snapshot.

    Time machine has a secret plist setting to enable non-time capsule network drives. You need to create the initial sparse volume on your mac and copy it to the network drive, though.

    It is a common belief in Africa (as it was in England in the 1800s) that fucking a virgin will cure STDs.

    But I have it on good authority that if you try to have sex with a lion, you will not die of AIDS.

  8. Re:Who cares? on Critic Pans Apple's New Campus As a Retrograde Cocoon · · Score: 1

    It's right down the street from their current headquarters, on land that still has HP's old buildings on it, so it's no more burb than what they are now.

    I hear Samsung is also planning a new headquarters that looks just like it. And Google bought up a cutting edge architect firm which will provide FREE (as in you can build it yourself) blueprints for spaceship buildings. Microsoft, not one to be left out, has announced Windows 10 Xtreme Space Ship Edition will fly in 2018.

  9. Re:Social security is in trouble? on Is There a Hearing Aid Price Bubble? · · Score: 1

    Social Security ran a deficit last year due to decreased employment and an increase in retirement (due to demographics and people choosing to retire rather than be unemployed). It's running a deficit this year (for the same reason plus the 2% reduction in payroll taxes). It will most likely run a deficit next year and in it's current state, it may never run a surplus or break even again. Increasing the tax cap or the retirement age would fix it, but there seems to be no willingness to do either.

  10. Re:Since no one ever buys them... on Is There a Hearing Aid Price Bubble? · · Score: 1

    Medicare taxes are 2.6% in the US, so of you get better service for 1.5%, maybe there's more to it than that.

    If you fire 10 people, 9 may sit on the couch eating cheetos and collecting unemployment benefits for the next 2 years[1]. But 1 will start his (or her) own business and increase economic activity.

    (Of course, if these are government employees, all 10 may sit on the couch eating cheetos)

  14. Re:Makes sense, but then what wouldn't? on Google Acquires Zagat · · Score: 1

    The patents that google sold/gave to HTC were purchased last year. The Google/Motorola deal hasn't yet been approved by shareholders or regulators. They are still separate companies.

  15. Re:BS taxes on Amazon Folds In California Sales Tax Deal · · Score: 2

    you can barter with monopoly money, chickens, hamburgers, or blowjobs all you want, but the IRS considers it taxable income and wants their cut. Also, contrary to popular opinion, taking it up the ass from them is not an accepted form of payment. They want US dollars.

  16. Re:Moral of the story.... on After Firing CEO, Yahoo Puts Itself Up For Sale · · Score: 1
    Back when I worked for the man, the man had a bonus system where part of the bonus was tied to company goals (including profitability), part was tied to division goals (including profitability). The bonus certainly wasn't big enough to alter my work behavior.

    So, what's the difference (other than tax treatment) between "company had a profitable year, you get a bonus" and "company had a profitable year, you receive a dividend on your special employee stock"?

  17. Re:Google's idea of open source isn't right on The State of Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Cathedral vs. Bazaar. Some of us may remember the gcc/egcs split or the emacs/xemacs saga, where FSF packages were developed in secrecy until they were released (sound like Android?). Or perhaps even something like ghostscript, which was a commercial product, but they released older versions under a FREE license (sound like Android?).

    Today, the bazaar model is much more common. We can clone a git repository or svn update and see changes as they happen. Android has moved to a cathedral model. Id GPLs their engines ~5 years after release, but DOOM 4 isn't FREE. For the same reason, you can't really consider Android (HoneyComb) to be Open Source until they release the code.

    It's more complicated than that. For you see, when he started growing facial hair, he started waxing his cock, balls, taint and asshole. (It's some sort of ying/yang thing). Hairy crotch, ruby languishes. Bald balls, ruby flourishes.
