  1. Re:Bloated piece of software that iTunes on US Fed Gov. Says All Music Downloads Are Theft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Speaking of bloated turds, Ted Kennedy died yesterday. I think the biggest tragedy is that his brothers were killed in their prime of life, but he wasn't.

  3. If git is so good... on Making Sense of Revision-Control Systems · · Score: 1

    I use git to follow a couple projects (from github). (This is on debian (lenny) with debian's git binaries.) I don't touch the local code myself, just do occasional git pulls.

    git pull consistently gives me problems like:

    error: bad index file sha1 signature
    fatal: index file corrupt
    remote: Counting objects: 146, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (92/92), done.
    remote: Total 124 (delta 50), reused 72 (delta 15)
    Receiving objects: 100% (124/124), 566.08 KiB | 501 KiB/s, done.
    fatal: failed to read delta base object at 337995 from .git/objects/pack/pack-969e098f674ac9f6eac22f9dca0c61bf3aca615a.pack

    OS 9 was called OS 9 as a legal trick to end the Mac clones (which could only use OS 8).

  9. Re:Doorway to further opensourcing? Or not at all? on DOJ Gives Oracle Approval To Buy Sun · · Score: 1

    Oracle has previously bought other open-source based companies (sleepycat and innodb, for example). If they wanted to open source their products, they could do it without purchasing Sun.

  10. Re:Serious question on Google Chrome For Linux Goes 64-bit · · Score: 2, Informative

    x86-64 has more registers. v8 compiles javascript into native code, so more registers means more variables stored in registers (instead of on the stack) and faster execution.

  11. Re:Decriminalization in Light of the Drug War on Mexico Decriminalizes Small-Scale Drug Possession · · Score: 1

    the cartel has tremendous firepower (smuggled from the United States)

    Not exactly. Cartel guns come from the mexican army, china, russia, other central american countries, the US, and other places. Earlier this year, there was a claim that 98% or so were from the US. That was wrong. When the mexican army confiscates guns, they attempt to identify where the came from. The ones that they think came from the US are sent back to the US for confirmation, and 98% of those are confirmed to be from the US.

    But if you know of any gun shows where I can buy cheap grenades, rocket launchers, and fully automatic assault rifles, please let me know.

  13. Re:Solution is You and Me on IBM, Other Multinationals "Detaching" From the US · · Score: 1

    Sadly, in some respects, China is more capitalistic than the US. Earlier this year, to increase car sales, they cut the car sales tax rate. People bought more cars. Simple and effective. Every car buyer benefits.

    The US's response was to create a new bureaucracy that redistributed borrowed money to people who purchased approved cars. This caused the prices of those cars to increase, negating part of that advantage. It also made it more expensive for other people to buy cars and cut the supply of affordable used cars. Dealers are also renting out lots to store all the clunkers since they haven't been reimbursed yet.

    No, you don't have the legal ability to replace the government. At best, you can vote for 1 representative, 1 senator, and 1 president (actually, elector). 3 people. Meanwhile, there are around 1.8 million (or more) government employees, and only 535 are directly elected, 2 indirectly elected.

    You wouldn't believe how uncensored they are. I was in Japan back in March and one evening saw the weirdest Wii game ever. It was a bukake simulator. Imagine 3 drunk japanese businessmen and pasty white guy shaking their wiimotes at a virtual girl. There was some sort of scoring system I didn't understand, but you did shoot a load on her (and theyr replayed the money shot in slow-mo) As the game progressed, she removed more and more clothes (I only played a few rounds).

    Anyhow, the box and disc looked like a legitimate, licensed wii game not some homebrew game.
