    i doubt it's from different countries, however they already mix together hundreds of animals to make the patty meat so tracking down tainted meat is almost impossible already.

    i'm pretty sure it didn't have street view or 3d view when they bought it. they're still working on it.

    wow fps is halved under wine, i've probably tried about 5 games from steam and whilst i could get them running it was not pleasant to play them. i don't mind spending some time getting them working as long as the end result doesn't suck
    my media server is dual boot, but i still tell my wife to boot into windows to watch flash stuff because no matter what anyone says it's still fucking sketchy in linux (tho admittedly i have enough problems with the fucking thing in windows)... yeah i hate flash, sue me.

    aid is currently managed extensively by religious organisations which generally make it 100% conditional on NOT providing birth control systems.

    i think most people assume genocide is the only thing that will work because contraceptives are "immoral".

  7. Re:Makes perfect sense on Banshee, Mono May Be Dropped From Ubuntu Default · · Score: 1

    since when have they bundled wine, you could probably argue samba but it's a shitload more useful than mono and to my knowledge microsoft have released actual legally binding licenses for the patents it requires.

  8. Re:But, the Blogosphere likes creating controversy on Banshee, Mono May Be Dropped From Ubuntu Default · · Score: 1

    dunno, that only works if you promise never to sue microsoft for patent infringement and microsoft are still free to pursue you for other patent infringement. i wouldn't touch it with a 50 foot pole if i was a larger company, but it's probably fine for small fish.

    they're suing the shit out of android vendors, you think they wouldn't do the same to mono distributors if they thought they could turn a buck? how naive.

    Android would need to run on desktops, as stupid as that sounds it's about the only thing that would work.

    No need to see the same movie twice.

    that's a pretty dumb statement, if you classify all those as the same movie then you must have watched 5 different movies of different genres and then never watched another one.

  22. Re:Shitty vs. more shitty on Microsoft Says IE9 Blocks More Malware Than Chrome · · Score: 1

    i doubt there's even close to enough flash vector animations on the internet that re-encoding would affect any sane cap, i know i look at 1 every week or so... and they've already been re-encoded as movies anyway (blamimations and zero punctuation if you care), that adds probably around 150 meg to my monthly usage. grats on having a working flash player btw, i know i have to reboot my linux media box into windows if i want to use any flash content reliably, and even on my vista box it still fails about 10% of the time. does seem to work ok on my android phone though, guess i'm lucky i didn't get an iphone.

    not quite, if html was a shitty, bug ridden 3rd party addon to web browsers that didn't work 90% of the time on your phone, tablet or non windows pc (and even on windows breaks probably 2-5% of the time) then you might be closer.

  24. Re:Bloat by a factor of ten on Microsoft Says IE9 Blocks More Malware Than Chrome · · Score: 1

    that comment doesn't really make any sense, are you saying that because newgrounds was first vector animation is better than non-vector? or are you saying that youtube is just more popular because it arrived on the scene later?
    If it means the couple of places that still do vector animation exclusively have to encode to a bigger file in a more popular format in order to kill off flash that's fine with me.

    yeah, that's why youtube is such a failure
