    except... it does work on Mac... i'm using Safari right now with Silverlight installed. Why would you want to go and do a thing like that?

    Ah, The Project Triangle. My main objection to The Project Triangle is the combination:
    • Design something with high quality and cheaply, but it will take a long time.
    How can something take a long time and be cheap?

  6. Re:Meritocracy on What's the Solution To Intellectual Property? · · Score: 1

    A trust-fund baby will spend more unearned wealth during their lifetime than a welfare mother could ever dream of. But that's a good thing isn't it? They are re-distributing the wealth by spending it; creating jobs, &c.

    Fuck, I'm confused. I have strong, mixed emotions to do with property rights. Maybe, if ideas are property, then they should be taxed like real property - That kind of forces a use-it-or-loose it mentality.

  7. Re:Wrong Hayao Miyazaki already owns that title. on Shigeru Miyamoto, The Walt Disney of Our Time · · Score: 1

    Everyone should at least see: Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away & Howl's Moving Castle.

    Home nightclub in Sydney used to have those (don't know if they still do), however the rest of the wall is a mirror so you're confronted by a row of cocks. The TVs were a welcome distraction, god help you if you suffer from stage fright.

  9. Re:Meh. I don't see the attraction on How Japan's Biggest BBS Keeps Things Simple · · Score: 1

    Man, I wish Slashdot had a "remember comment" feature. You do.
  10. Re:This is quite interesting actually... on How Japan's Biggest BBS Keeps Things Simple · · Score: 1

    This is an interesting concept and there's a lot to be learned about it, but I doubt it has a lot of practical applications since it's so far removed from reality for most people. It's only the 123rd biggest (traffic) site in the world.

    I would LOVE to have a miniature pet lap-elephant! That would kick ass! Yeah GP, stop teasing us. I've wanted a miniature elephant for years. 'D have to bolt down the coffee table though, in case it got feisty and started butting things.

    You do realise that there's likely not any actual mosquito left in a given piece of amber:

    In most cases the organic structure has disappeared, leaving only a cavity, with perhaps a trace of chitin. Wiki (yeah I know) says most cases, but an amber specialist I spoke to said none. Almost certainly no usable DNA anyway.
  14. Re:You are missing the point. on David Pogue Gushes Over the Chumby · · Score: 1

    The Nokia tablet is ugly and does not combine with your furniture. Any furniture. The Chumby could in theory fit nicely with how you decorate a room. Just sew a cushion for your N8x0, then your tablet could fit in with how you decorate a room too.

  16. Re:doubtful on Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible · · Score: 1

    Original sin goes back to Adam and so probably the doctrine doesn't come in to play. The one thing we can be certain of is that God is a fair judge and that people will be judged according to what they have heard. Baptism, in any case, is not a requirement for salvation only faith in Jesus Christ son of God. I don't know much about Catholic theology, but the protestant theologians I've spoken to about it say that it doesn't matter what you've heard. I.e. that the billions of people born after Jesus who have not accepted him as their saviour, whether they have heard about him or not, are doomed.

    Fair judge my arse.

  19. Re:UFOs in Ancient Times: The Book of Ezekiel? on British "X-files" Released to Public · · Score: 1

    27) Upwards from what appeared like the loins I saw something like gleaming amber, something that looked like fire enclosed all round; and downwards from what looked like the loins I saw something that looked like fire, and there was a splendour all round. I really don't want to know about some splendiferous gleaming amber 'something' rising from some dudes loins, and he should see a doctor about the fire.

    On another note:

    16) As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl; and the four had the same form, their construction being something like a wheel within a wheel. 17) When they moved, they moved in any of the four directions without veering as they moved. 18) Their rims were tall and awesome, for the rims of all four were full of eyes all round. I concur with the sibling poster; that seems like something straight out of a car accessory ad.
