    Who said you could introduce sense into our idle speculation?

  2. Re:Public Domain NOW! on Pirate Party Pillages Private Papers · · Score: 1

    FUCK THE MAFIAA!

  3. this on Will Your Next Touchscreen Be Touchless? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, who wants their screen to be a camera, wouldn't a camera be able to do the same - only more cheaply.

    Also, Gorilla Arm.

    I don't see a particular problem with a leather bound booklet.

  6. Re:Misleading summary. on Whatever Happened To Programming? · · Score: 1

    I am totally unsurprised that this post was written in a way that may mislead readers into thinking that TFA was a rant written by Prof. Knuth. I am, however, disappoint; then I am left wishing that /.'s comment threading system was more like reddit's so that your comment would have been the first thing that I had read.

    tl;dr - Principal Peter Bayer can GTFO!

    I hope you're also blocking Googlebot from indexing your websites, oh, you're not http://google.com/search?q=transboutique

    Hypocrite

    Also, I trust Google over Scroogle. What, you think Scroogle doesn't love them some user data? They don't even have a privacy policy!

    The specs are "about half what everyone expected it to be" also.

    This is fucking brilliant chap.
    Good show.

    At least we can do something right down here!

    Thank you Mr. Cowdroy!

  12. Re:Lifted until? on With New SDK, VoIP Over 3G Apps Now Working On iPhone · · Score: 1

    Apple aren't evil per se, they're a corporation. If people don't like their products they're free to not buy them, hack them, make their own, or bitch and moan. Hardware I buy is _my_ hardware however, (unless I sign some contract waiving my property rights) and I'll do whatever the fuck I want to with it.

  13. Re:I'd never do it, but on Moving Away From the IT Field? · · Score: 1

    I've worked with a number of admins like you, you guys rock.

    People who have support like this at work should try to remember "hug your admin" day or whatever it's called.

  14. Re:Livescribe Pulse pen. on Best Tablet PC For Classroom Instruction? · · Score: 1

    I came in to suggest the LiveScribe too, you can use it in conjunction with a overhead webcam + projector thingy.

  15. KSJ on Dymaxion Car Being Restored · · Score: 1

    Surely a skilled machinist could just make a matching turn signal indicator from scratch.

  16. Re:Not really... on Alan Turing Gets an Apology From Prime Minister Brown · · Score: 1

    I'm glad that Gordon Brown made this apology, just as I am that Kevin Rudd made one to the Aboriginal people of Australia.

    As an aside,

    his descendants

    Perhaps we have different understandings of the meaning of that word, however I concur with your sentiment.

  18. Re:AdBlock on Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5 · · Score: 1

    As long as the developers are re-checking those datum on the other side of the tube, I don't have a problem with client-side validation. The form should still work without JS though, any site should, anything else is poor design.

    Progressive enhancement people!

  19. Re:Depends on Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5 · · Score: 1

    What's worse for me is if I try to click on a bookmark in the toolbar while it's 'connecting...' (IE8) to about:blank, it offers to save the bookmark to my desktop!!!

  20. Re:AdBlock on Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5 · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately it takes around 5 seconds to display a blank page in IE8 (on a fresh start on Win XP Pro). Seriously MS, WTF!?

    Don't get me wrong I primarily use FF, but as a web developer I need to use all the popular UAs.

  21. Re:speed on Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5 · · Score: 1

    In my case, being able to use Firebug, Vimperator, Adblock, NoScript, CookieSafe, RefControl, and BetterPrivacy, among others is the reason I won't take any other browser seriously.

    FYI 3.5b99 is the pre 3.5 beta from their old tests, not the predecessor to 3.6

    That.
    Also, for some reason a lot of (well known) inventors were of Scottish descent.
