  1. Re:!do no evil on USPTO Grants Google a Patent On MapReduce · · Score: 1

    Uuum, who does stil go on the google home page?? What’s the point? Don’t tell me you don’t have a search field in your browser?? Or at least a keyword to enter in the adress bar??
    If you still use the IE, please hand in your geek card now, stand in front of that wall over there, and prepare to be shot by every web developer on this site! ;)

    And for mapping etc. Well, that’s what subdomains are for. (And the awesome bar.)
    Maps? Ctrl-L, “map”, cursor down, enter. Done.
    Translation? Ctrl-L, “trardquo;, cursor down, enter. Done.
    Searching? Ctrl-K, input query, enter. Done.
    Mail? What are you doing on this site without a IMAPS/SSMTP client?
    etc.

    Going to the home page. God, that feels so primitive. Like having to click a graphical button to close a window or tab... omg, some people even have to click a graphical button to go back on a web page... I don’t get it... Why not smite yourself with a cat-o’-nine-tails instead? At least you get something to remember with that! ;)

    Who defined that was not “playing the game”?

    Would you say that CeTuS was playing Quake 3 Arena? Or the guys from Shaolin Productions?

  3. E-* on The Year of the E-Bicycle · · Score: 1

    When do I get my e-e? It would go so well with my e-bicycle that i would ride to my e-business to write some e-mails to my e-partners and e-buddies of my e-social e-net.

    I’d take two, so I’d have a e-e-e-e!

    You can use the triangle inequality to show this.

    Sorry, but I highly doubt that someone, who still does not get it after your explanation, can be convinced with a mathematical proof. ;)

  5. Re:FTL Information? on FTL Currents May Power Pulsar Beams · · Score: 1

    Exactly. What would be the point of a robot staying on earth? He’s not going to die from traveling to another planet. Or even solar system. As long as he can reproduce there, and do whatever he thinks is his destiny, he’s good.

    Would be a pretty sweet life actually. Without so many limitations.

    And you know the best part: Those “scientists” who search for“life” on other planets, by searching for water, carbon dioxide, etc, would not even recognize it as life!! Which shows why the limitations they put upon themselves (must be water+oxygen+carbon-based“) are so stupid and closed-minded.

  6. Re:FTL Information? on FTL Currents May Power Pulsar Beams · · Score: 1

    Your definition of “normal” is way off.

    Just because 99% of the people around you are complete and utter drooling retards, doesn’t mean that’s normal.
    It’s the same as being dead is not normal, even when most people around you are killed.

  7. Re:FTL Information? on FTL Currents May Power Pulsar Beams · · Score: 1

    As I always said: It’s stupid to punish someone, for coming up with the same idea at the same time. When moderating someone redundant, you should be forced to choose the comment that it’s redundant to. Then your comment would be moved below that comment, inside a little line saying “other commenters with the same opinion” that you would have to click to open and show those comments. It should not give a -1.

    That would make everyone happy and hurt nobody.

    To be fair, IE6 can’t be defined as a browser for 4 years anyway. ;)

  9. Any sufficiently great skill, is indistinguishable from cheating.

    Learned that in Quake 1 times! And those who do not learn from history... you know the rest.

    But only in a frame, inside Firefox. (Just disable the cookie transfer feature. That’s a really stupid idea.)

  11. Re:Enough is enough! on Microsoft To Ship Emergency IE Patch · · Score: 1

    If you got more free CPU power than all super-computers combined, you would just throw that away?

    I don’t think so... ^^

    I’d go straight to cracking every important security code on the planet. Federal reserve, CIA, every intelligence agency of every important country, every military lab, every weapons remote control (especially for nukes). And then I’d start making one single demand. One that would be impossible to undo, and would change the world forever.
    Meet it or you’re done.

    Pff, you gotta think big! You’re just not made to join my Evil (actually Good) Overlord World Domination Club!

  12. So that's what it takes to get a patch out, MS? on Microsoft To Ship Emergency IE Patch · · Score: 3, Funny

    At least two governments officially stating to avoid IE, others in fear, every single web developer on the country hating you, Google getting hacked, and every security expert on the planet laughing at you?

    Wow. Just wow.

    May I extrapolate from that, what it would take, to get a real Bugzilla for IE and make it follow recent standards?
    My guess: Inter-dimensional time war with Lovecraft’s the old ones, lead by Cthulhu, fighting the Shrike and its army, armed with gamma ray bursts and black holes, using giant stars as ammunition.

    On the other hand: That would be awesome!

    Yeah, and compared to the breaking wheel, Waterboarding also sounds good.

    But it’s still bad. There is no rule that one has to be good. They can just all be bad.
    Which is this case.... is the case.

    (But I agree, that that statement by Google really throws them down the ranks. I just have my doubts, because MS usually is a couple of steps more experienced in being evil. ;)

  14. Re:Told you so! on FBI Violated Electronic Communications Privacy Act · · Score: 1

    I wonder how FOX would spin the fact, that the laws were put in place by the Bush administration...

  15. Re:Some Judges need to lay the smack down. on FBI Violated Electronic Communications Privacy Act · · Score: 1

    You both adhere to a pretty huge error: The alleged criminals!
    Protip: At least in Germany, you will get sued for calling someone a criminal, without a judge first saying so. And I doubt it’s the only country where this is true. (And newspapers already got in some pretty nasty lawsuits for it.)
    That’s the point: They are not really criminals! The FBI just for some reason did not like them, and the judge was bought or something like that. Doesn’t make those alleged “criminals“ wrongdoers, in my book!

    Nice trick to get us to swallow your following fanboyism! ;)

  20. Re:Doubt it on Displayport V1.2 To Take Giant Leap Over HDMI · · Score: 1

    That’s because you have no idea what you are talking about.
    DisplayPort will be a success for the very simple reason, that you need no license, to integrate it. For HDMI you do.
    Which means less costs, even if you built in the stupid DRM codec chips. (That you don’t need anyway if you do not plan on watching the physical old-media media, but load stuff from the net. Which means in China and the whole “2nd/3rd world”, nobody will care.)

    Cheaper, less trouble, no disadvantages, more features. It would simply be a bad business decision, not to use it.
