  1. Re:BTDT on Simpler "Hello World" Demonstrated In C · · Score: 1

    Aren't we all anxiously waiting for the time when it will no longer be usual to RTFC before hitting 'Reply to This'?

  2. Re:BTDT on Simpler "Hello World" Demonstrated In C · · Score: 1

    You mean the fact, that 'SHE' appears in the summary is not enough? Of course, that would require reading the summary.

  3. Re:Usernames in browsers on Humans Continue To Be "Weak Link" In Data Security · · Score: 1

    Another neat feature in some browsers is that you can switch off this helpful password storage feature. But if you store your password on an encrypted volume, you certainly know this.

    1.) For my amusement
    2.) Yep.

  5. Re:Heomeopathy = Placebo on NHS Should Stop Funding Homeopathy, Says Parliamentary Committee · · Score: 1

    If your son hated it, it may have been tasting shitty. The tase comes from somewhere. Stuff that's diluted homeopathically doesn't taste like anything (beware of the molecule hitting your taste buds...).

    If there was something in there, it may have had an effect. But homeopathy is like saying that eating a well shaken corn of rice will keep you fed for life (no, don't try this at home).

    That doesn't mean that there aren't alternative forms of treatment that work well, but I'm sincerely convinced that homeopathy is not among them.

  6. Re:Slow QWERTY typer on Pen vs. Keyboard vs. Touch vs. Everything Else · · Score: 1

    If you mail me an iPhone, I'll be glad to tell you, how long it took me.

  7. Synonyms on Sitting Down Too Long Is Bad Even If You Exercise · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can somebody please point me to a dictionary where these synonyms are explained? 'sedentary behavior', what a bullshit terminology is that supposed to be? And then, of course, we have to abolish (abolish, right) or change the definitions of these buzzwords so before any discussion might take place, consent about the use of said definitions needs to be reached.

    We should ban dogs and cats to travel on planes.

    A pissing contest around the south pole? Who's the first to freeze off his b*lls?

  10. Re:I'm gonna miss yellowstone.. on Yellowstone Supervolcano Larger Than First Thought · · Score: 1

    point taken. however, if we shall continue the interpretation based on the meaning of words - rather than the meaning of phrases in the predominant context of /. - I would argue that 'why' is most definitely a reference to causality. anyway, this is getting way off topic, especially as a discussion caused by a one line AC post.

  11. Re:I'm gonna miss yellowstone.. on Yellowstone Supervolcano Larger Than First Thought · · Score: 1

    Millions? I call bullshit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal#Bhopal_disaster http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bhopal+disaster While the disaster shouldn't be belittled, it isn't helpful to exaggerate this way.

  15. Re:Luck not shot down on Lost Northwest Pilots Were Trying Out New Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wouldn't have been the first (spying, terrorism, whatever), although one would assume American authorities to be more reluctant to shoot down an American plane over American soil than some politburo apparatschik. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007

  21. Re:Will code for Pizza on How To Sponsor an Open Source Sprint · · Score: 1

    So TYVM, asshole, for proving that "there is always an idiot who will do it for less, even though he can't sustain life with it, because he does not think an second into the future".

    The problem is, that's true (is, has been, probably will remain true).
    Neither solidarity nor foresight are widely distributed attributes, egoism is. And I don't mean that in a derogatory way.
    Human nature will easily put the 'now' above the 'tomorrow' as well as the 'me' above 'family' above 'town' above 'country', simply because it's more immediate.
    The same principle applies to things like environmental protection, food quality (cheap trash vs. higher quality but more expensive) as well.
    Concerning wages, I can only talk about Austria (and Europe, but to a smaller degree), but in order to address this problem, governmental regulations are widely introduced (Kollektivverträge, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kollektivvertrag), but there are easy ways to circumvent those (and they're all too often quite far away from reality and bring other problems beyond the scope of this post).
    It's not exactly an easy feat to change that behaviour (not that the communists didn't try, with little success however, and I don't think we'd be too fond of that).

  22. Re:Fine by me on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    Sometimes that doesn't work out so well, but it's never stopped the powers-that-be from trying.

    Yeah, like everybody's trying to burn scientologists at the stake. What's next? Soon to be seen in a theatre nearby: Tom Cruise being fed to the lions? (I'd actually go for that)
