  1. fullscreen = Ctrl F on Safari Beta Takeup Tops Firefox, IE and Chrome · · Score: 1

    Yes, in the past, the idiot prick who decided that full screen should be pay only was a tool, smeg head. (Listening Jobs?) I mean seriously, is there any one feature that you would want to take away that gives you 1000x less users?

    Now today, no one cares about qt, its all divx/mp4/mkv

  2. writing keyboard inputs isnt rocket science on Sony Makes It Hard To Develop For the PS3 On Purpose · · Score: 1

    Surely mapping inputs from KB to event triggers that call functions to inc/dec values that the gamepad uses isnt hard.

    Its more likely due to bad raw GPU code, the cpu stuff is trivial and should already have been done in an engine or proper api layer. Games are just big data grid displays, with massive ram based databases moving about. (no sql)

    Id say its due to stupid code not checking pointers for nulls or bad ptr types that look like '4 chars of ascii' or odd addresses.

  3. why not a SSD/HD combo on Testing Lenovo's ThinkPad W700ds Dual-Screen Notebook · · Score: 1

    64G SSD for the OS and bits...
    320G HD for Applications/Data/mp3s/movies.

  4. nokia still suck on Why Japan Hates the iPhone · · Score: 1

    1. not one unified OS, but series 60 80 90, or whatever junk...

    2. some of the 07 phones had utter crap GUI defects.

    3. cheap plastic feel.

    4. top end nokias - too pricey.

    5. i dont see a menu called Nokia Store on my nokia.... Sure there are telco specific crap, but thats just means most telcos wont bother making anything decent.

  5. LA is bankcrupt, hope they suffer on Terry Childs Case Puts All Admins In Danger · · Score: 1

    unlike Zimbabwe, LA cannot print $$$, they can tho offer IOUs as tax returns, where in retaliation, companies/people can pay their due taxes with those IOUs.

    By the time he gets out he wont get any money out of the state, but I hope he can sue individuals for money, just like OJ was.

     

  6. overstating damages is a crime for insurance on Terry Childs Case Puts All Admins In Danger · · Score: 1

    So if my laptop gets lost or broken, I cannot go to my insurance company and ask for $250,000. Its a crime.

    Why is that not a crime for lawyers/prosecutors?

    Its IS a real CRIME! in REAL peoples eyes.

  7. why do you lawyers like people in jail on Terry Childs Case Puts All Admins In Danger · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Seriously... why?

    Oh but when a REAL crim of the century Madof steals billions, 1000s of lawyers say NOTHING and let him live life of luxury, yet steal a coke from a 711 and bang to jail , which yields the lawyers MORE FEES thru representation.

    Why not throw every senator and politician in jail then for withholding contractual secrets and state secrets from the public which PAYS their salary.

    Jails arent for knee jerk 'im here to piss you off' punishment because I have more power.

    Its to protect the public mainly from more harm.

  8. MS should be ashamed at that POS on A Real Bill Gates Rant · · Score: 1

    If linux had that, it would be bagged left and right, just for that alone reviewers not being paid should give all windows OS's a fat 1.5 out of 5 score and recommend a NO BUY.

    But we know the whole industry just like USa and govt corporates etc... are all so corrupt its sickening. Yeah get rich now, but in histories eyes, in GOOGLE will show you scum to be under the same search tree as polpot/stalin.

    If windows was $29, yeah maybe its ok, but its more than that, so it doesnt deserve praise.

  9. what an arsehole on A Real Bill Gates Rant · · Score: 1

    Seriously he is rich, super rich, what more does he want, immortality like a Gauld.

    Hey Bill, make your stuff work well for EVERYONE, and you just might be POPULAR. Not an evil POS demon.

    All empires fall, its part of nature, no ONE entity is allowed to rule. Face it or loose it.

    No single person anywhere loves microsoft, just like no one liked ibm in the 80s.

  10. fark me, i reboot every 60-90days on A Real Bill Gates Rant · · Score: 1

    Is he installing that much MS software, maybe he should use a cloud or a linux laptop with access to a VMware server running 20 Vistas.

    I rarely run word, maybe thats the trick, but I rarely need to reboot unless its those pesky updates.

    Come on bill, pay some more bucks for brains.

  11. Re:Well, if you have deep pockets... on New Conficker Variant Increases Its Flexibility · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In that case you will never get caught because the current bot owners are not in jail and are selling services....

    If they are untouchable, you're safe too.

  12. we can call it MISS on Russia Aims Towards Mars · · Score: 1

    Moon ISS

    even works for Mars ISS

  13. like linux 0.99 was that perfect on Russia Aims Towards Mars · · Score: 1

    As any new project, first version/beta has problems, unknown faults and work in progress solutions. Its doing well. Now I also bet if you give china the plans, they could manufacture 10 of the things, each component in a different city, in one year flat. Who needs 2 billion mp3 players. Make 10 ISS clones.

  14. it already caused the stock market to fall on Hadron Collider Relaunch Delayed · · Score: 1

    Funny how when it when on, the stock market fell, maybe they downloaded the stock market list from the future, but didnt tell many people but the govt.

    heehheheh

    Sell Sell,, print more money, sell.....

  15. Lay off the burbon and coke (ie cocaine) on Hadron Collider Relaunch Delayed · · Score: 1

    Look, we know you make tonnes of money working 30mins a week, but give at least some sense of professional work out of your 150k jobs. :)

    Post your articles at 7am after waking up after all the hoockers and cocaine parties.

  16. Immigration jobs must be utterly brain dead boring on UK Government Plans 10-Year Database of Citizens' Travel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering 99.9999% of people traveling are legit, it must be sooo brain dead boring asking the same questions, quizing people, interogating people, and finding out most are legit, and very very very few are crims/baddasses.

    How sad it must be to go home and say, "F*CK, I screened 8200 people, and only 1 hit!!!, what a dull day!"

    That must really make them eager to bust people, be over zealous and find the most minute thing to detain people on.

  17. theres always a balance on UK Government Plans 10-Year Database of Citizens' Travel · · Score: 1

    Im sure UK wouldnt want to import 30m africans yearly, first that would just be impossible to house and feed.

    But if people truly wish their locals have more children, do the following;

    1. have it easy to have a family with one parent working.
    2. make larger houses cheaper, so we can have 5 kids.
    3. stop promoting working careers to all girls, nothing wrong with 30% being mothers at 18.
    4. bring back the 60s, let love be free, and 50% of all girls get pregnant.
    5. Importing too many smart people from 3rd world countries hurts them more, they need to grow their own way too, they need their own smart people.

    Bottom line, is balance, and not TOO much of X. You dont see 5million americans living in Japan do you?

  18. Ironic that Hitler started this trend on UK Government Plans 10-Year Database of Citizens' Travel · · Score: 1

    So ironic that Hitler started the concepts of monitoring citizens, being big brother and record keeping everything (with IBMs help).
    So did the UK win? or has it turned itself into 1932 germany?

  19. even tho they cant proove income tax is LEGAL on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 2, Funny

    No judge or tax man can proove you have to pay income tax by law, they cannot site the laws, they just say

    "you have to, pay it, we have guns and can kill you and your family and fake a murder suicide like we have done lots of times"

    Just leave usa, like 150k californians have already because of high taxes. No senator pays taxes, or any corporate, so why should us cerfs.

  20. they should apply that to cannabis on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 1

    If only they made cannabis legal to own/grow/smoke, but not to sell/buy.

    But obvious free solutions are just not compatible with govt suit lawyers who made 250k yearly.

  21. just give the hippies free pot to shut up on US Becomes Top Wind Producer; Solar Next · · Score: 0, Troll

    Those stupid Nimbys, where do they think they get their coal powered electricity from. Stupid pricks.

    Either give em free pot, or send em to jail for 'working' for the oil companies, because im sure there are 4 levels of indirect funding of their legal actions against sound power generation by oil corps.

  22. Duh.. thats why we should build Cylons on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    Surely building robots that can walk and build things in moon gravity with no air would be awesome.

    All solar/nuke powered, they can build our giant spaceships and everything for free.

  23. some say psychotic drugs advanced humans on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    Some say the ancient humans ate cactus or mushrooms similar to LSD that made em so high and saw so many things and gave them wicked imaginations of spiritual god like visions.

    If you have never tried LSD, then you have no concept of how 'normal reality' can suddenly look spaced out and 100x more interesting, kind of like comparing 1970s pong game to full HD ps3 games.

    Old indians have rituals that do involve psycoactive substances

  24. maybe aliens dont want to be seen on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    and maybe they have landed talked and made bases, but request the govt to keep them secret until the world economy is utterly broken and made worthless.

    Then the govts will say this;

    "Today, we have lost all money, have no funds, your investments are worth zero, but we have a secret to let you on, we have been friends with these aliens for decades, but now can let the truth be told because now theres no chance of the sharemarket crashing below zero.

    They also come with gifts, plans, alien spaceships to give us, and a way to enter interstella trade with other worlds. GM will now make 12000 space ships a year selling them to other aliens for 2 tonnes of golds each.

    We also can tap into limitless fusion power and all coal powered plants/wind/solar/nuke are obselete, welcome to the real 21st century."

  25. Re:stop the xenophobia on Rescued Banks Sought Foreign Help During Meltdown · · Score: 1

    the difference between now and the 18th century is that before, the immigrants brang their whole family, today they work alone and send 1/2 their cash back home.

    Any country has a right to protect its identity and culture if it chooses, like many asian countries do.

    Some diversity is good, but not out right >50%, stick to sane limits, or just have no borders, one planet for all, no limits.
