  1. Re:end of the internet on Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They don't allow Flash here at work. It is a bummer....keeps us out of other sites too.

    Where do you work? Smart decision makers there.

  2. emeterbay.com on Scientology Given Direct Access To eBay Database · · Score: 1

    ...is available.

    Just mentioning it.

  3. Re:So look at it, take it apart, spend a few minut on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 2, Funny

    I mean no offense; your comma usage is really the only thing wrong with your posts.

    That's totally cool. If the only thing that's wrong with my English is my punctuation then that's actually quite flattering.

    (This post contains intentionally no commas. But I'm sure there should be some)

  4. Re:So look at it, take it apart, spend a few minut on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think, you shouldn't, use so, many commas, as it, makes it hard to, understand what you're, saying.

    Yes, I think, you, are right, I, am starting, now at exactly this point in time to shift my role model from william shatner to james joyce that should work out ok what do you think yes that feels much better

  5. Re:So look at it, take it apart, spend a few minut on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 1

    That remembers me of all those movies, where somebody meets an alien, zombie, whatever, and nobody believes them, because that is the kind of story, that you usually hear from nut jobs.

    I'm not saying, that he has, what he claims. I just find the idea interesting, how hard it would be to convince people, that you actually have something like this.

  6. Re:astroturf on Intel Employee Caught Running OLPC News Site · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? 95% of the people reading that blog still think it's legit. I just read about this rumour on the olpcnews.com forum. I don't know if it will be censored at one point, but until now it isn't. To Wayan I can only say, so far I couldn't find much anti-OLPC propaganda in his posts. Quite the contrary, Maybe he hates his employer?

  7. Subject? on Sony's Idea of DRM-Free Music · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is no way, this could possibly fail.

  8. Re:Collectors items on Intel Resigns from One Laptop Per Child Project · · Score: 1

    Two laptops from the G1G1 program cost 399,-$ + shipping (about 24,- $) ... 4. Loss

  9. Re:Cheaper Cars - More Cars on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 1

    If this car replaces this motorcycle, this might be possible.

  10. Cheaper Cars - More Cars on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 1

    What a great way to make the world a place with more garbage and more pollution.

  11. Re:love my Nokia N800!!! w00t! on Linux And Unix Devices Popular On Amazon's 'Best of '07' List · · Score: 1

    > video playback (nearly any codec - dunno about QT though)

    Does it play Theora?

  12. Re:I prefer EMACS! on Hacking VIM · · Score: 1
    Is there an emacs command/edit mode for vi? To me, that would be the best of both worlds...

    Only for vim (vimacs, already mentioned). If you want something as small and fast as a regular vi, but with emacs key bindings, I'ld suggest mg.

  13. Re:At least this should... on Alabama Schools to be First in US to Get XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    > At least this should make them cheaper on eBay as more show up. :-)

    Sadly (or luckily?), ebay keeps removing all olpc xo offers

  14. Re:So... orders make it less of a scam? on Peru Orders 260K OLPCs, Mexico to Get 50K · · Score: 1

    > So please... tell us again the OLPC isn't, like Lunix

    Please, get it right: It's called Lunizzz

  15. Re:Free publicity on Asus Corrects Eee PC Source Code Issue · · Score: 1

    Everybody may come to her/his own conclusions. But for me it is clear now, what to expect from them.

  16. Re:really? on FSF Releases AGPL License For Web Services · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You write ReallyCoolWebTool and license it under the AGPL. GreedyBastardCompany wants to use and change it. Now they have the choice between releasing their source code, or not using it at all. That was different with the GPL.

  17. The price of freedom on Journalists Can't Hide News From the Internet · · Score: 1

    If we want information to be free, people using this freedom, in ways, that we can't agree with, is the price to pay. I am not sure, when the point is reached, when I am willing to sacrifice freedom, for other values. "Freiheit ist immer Freiheit des Andersdenkenden" -- Rosa Luxemburg

    Maybe you should get better power supplies?

  21. Wikipedia... on Google or Wikipedia - Which is Your First Stop? · · Score: 1

    ...when it seems appropriate. But more often than not it does.

    in short: truth is that size does not matter.. the hype behind bigger the better is *false*, just like its for penises :)
