    lim x->0 x/2x -> lim x->0 1/2 = 1/2 . . .

  2. Re:Screw Google on Google's Silent Monopoly · · Score: 1

    Everyone rejoices because the products they put out are so good, that when someone hates them, they still go back to them like an abused wife who won't leave her husband.

    And just because you put "You may all now begin your long-winded dismantling of my post in every esoteric nerdly way that you will in the defense of the all-mighty Google." at the end of your comment doesn't mean that people are wrong when they do so.

  3. Re:1 in 9 play a game too much on One in Nine MMOG Players Addicted? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A big cause of cigarette addiction is psychological. People can get through two weeks (after which, most of the physical dependency is gone) and still pick it up again because of the pyschological factors.

    Just because it's not physical addiction doesn't mean it's not an addiction; they are just weak-willed.

    They have to show proof? Aren't reporters protected from naming anonymous sources? A reporter could just claim that the source does not want to be named.

  5. Can we use this technology with the NES . . . on The Mechanics of Motion Sensing · · Score: 3, Funny

    so I can finally keep Mario from falling down the bottomless pit by jerking the controller above my head?

  6. Re:Better yet on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 1

    I think gnome/kde should be the ones promoted (it seems those are usually the defaults people know). Try to get the mainstream "easy" linux distros to have one of those as the default and let the people that know exactly what they want change that at the initial installation (if they even install a GUI initially). Then they can promote it and say, "this is what linux looks like".

    If a user then installs a distro that he saw advertised and sees that yes, it is what linux looks like, he will be able to stick with it and later find out that there are other looks he can explore.

  7. Re:Okay I can take this !!!!!!!! on Linus on SCO, and the Desktop Being 10 Years Away · · Score: 3, Funny

    Alright thats enough ! I live in Canada's Capital Ottawa... And I am getting tired of people calling it Ottowa !!!!!!! grrr ! Do you see me saying Wachingtin or Nu iork...

    Washington? New York? The article wasn't from the United States. And anyway, why don't you post something useful instead of complaining about a simple mistake. In fact, it might not be a mistake. Germans spell America "Amerika", while the US spells their country "Germany" when it is clearly "Deutschland".

  8. "And spank me-" "-and me" on Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hopefully the actor that is going save get Galahad from the virgins is late coming onto the stage which will call for some adlibing . . .

  9. Re:Every third line of code... on SCO Taking Linux Discussion To Japan · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't he just say every third byte was copied from the Evil Master Control Program, and then scoot off on his little Tron light-cycle?

    I don't know who you think you are; the name was Master Control Program (the MCP). Just because you didn't like what the MCP did doesn't mean that you are allowed to make up derogatory names for it. Why don't you go to work for SCO and leave your libel at the door?

    The example that helps me understand irony is:
