  1. Re:Cures and money. on Possible Breakthroughs in Cancer and AIDS Research · · Score: 1

    Your conspiracy theory is misplaced, the real conspiracy is that drug companies lobby to ban and restrict natural drugs (like pineapple extract perhaps) so they can sell their inferior side-effect inducing products instead.

    luckily some other respondents actually understood my post :-)

    I loved that game! wtf happened to bullfrog, populous 3 was shit.

  4. Re:Neat. on Next-Gen Game of Life · · Score: 1

    I'm astonished that slashdot posted a story about yet another "life" simulator. Surely anyone who's programmed to any degree has made their own.

    Al Qaida existed before the invasion of Iraq.

    nope, al qaeda was a term made up by the west. Thats why everytime you hear of "al qaeda" its some shit like "a group linked with al-qaeda" because thats the best they can say.

    It is good but is there a (js) library that offers these functions so people can use it with their favourite language. I dont find much of use searching cpan for ajax.

  7. Re:And guess where they probably won't end up on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 2, Informative

    Further to your point, accidents involving police cars rose by 60% last year in the UK. The police should get these GPS if anyone does.

  8. Re:We are held to different standards? on Bittorrent Creator A Digital Pirate? · · Score: 3, Funny

    He should just say it was a typo and he meant digital privacy ;-)

    hey I just thought something, if he is now at risk of arrest for saying something what happened to free speech (if it ever existed).

  9. Re:And let me guess...... on Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework · · Score: 1

    Coupling your development platform with a particular web browser is a pretty stupid thing to do.

    Thank god MS dont make monitors or you would discover you cant run any of their apps (or apps developed with their products) without buying one of their brand monitors.

  10. Re:Why? on 13.1 Surround Sound Coming to a Home near you? · · Score: 1

    nah its because they play it so bloody loud you can *literally* feel it - its not so much the "perception based on direction". I find cinemas *too* loud.

  11. Re:RMP? on SUSE Linux 9.3 FTP Version Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think its a typo it should be RPM - Revs per minute. Basically if the the burned disc misses revs than installation could fail.

    no he is saying that nobody has to quit their day job to do it as said by the person he was replying to. where are the ruby on rails lot they will probably say you can produce a functional replacement for this system in an hour or something :-)

  13. Re:Indeed, this is the free market at work. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    He is right the only thing a decent software developer couldnt knock up in a few days of development would be the user base. Its the comments that make this place a little bit better than an out of date news aggregator.

  14. Re:Indeed, this is the free market at work. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    If people arent willing to pay for things either by ads or by micropayments (for example) then we should question the value of sites like that.

    As mentioned micropayments may become much more widespread once we can finally rid the internet of the menace of advertising.

  15. Re:Ambiguous praise on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 1

    Will joe schmoes IP address really be in the SPF (or whatever ) record. Yes then the next step is these trojans would have to use the ISPs mail server at which point I would hope the ISP would sit up and take notice and implement some measure such as throttling how many emails a particular user can send per day.

    You have a lot of negative responses to anti spam measures in this thread. what do you propose? Or are you in the business of spamming yourself hence your "DONT TRY AND STOP SPAM IT WONT WORK" posts.

    OMG he may have had programs in place! lol thats a great reason to kill 100,000 civilians.

    The coalition has probably killed more kurds than saddam did.

    WMD and terrorism were two totally fake reasons made up to go to war in iraq. There were actually (stupid) soldiers in iraq saying "this is pay back for 9/11". I guess they swallowed whatever the "neo conservatives" said just as you have.

    Blame socialists all you want but outsourcing is a 100% capitalist activity, socialists are outsourcing its big companies or even your own local government agencies.

  18. Re:One Perl on Next-gen Windows Command Line Shell Now in Beta · · Score: 1

    I would suggest that the reason most don't is that, suddenly, all of your normal OS commands -- ls, cat, et al -- are no longer first-class commands and now require extra syntax to execute. This is not a good thing for most people.

    http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7/lib/She ll.pm
    "Shell - run shell commands transparently within perl"

    I've tried it myself, but was put off it by the difficulty (relative) of getting an "ls -l" to work. Which should tell you something.

    Yes it tells me you are a moron if `ls -l` puts you off. Or if you use the above module the syntax is ls('-l')

    You have a magical 3ghz CPU that processes everything instantly? Or a retarded brain? Let me guess - its the latter.

  20. Re:WHAT rule? on Bigger Brains Make Smarter People Study Says · · Score: 1

    There was a TV programme here in the UK where they tested wild animals for intelligence and declared a species of birds the most intelligent due to the puzzles they could solve. That would tend to suggest to me that neither mass nor size is the only factor.

    Or course what is intelligence, the test was solving problems. I suppose it is possible that you could be a terrible problem solver but be massively intelligent.

    Therefore, until I'm ready to extend the code, I'm willing to let the ugly solution stay in the code.


    Or more likely the next coder who comes along will have to spend the time you saved (and more) dealing with your shit.

    "code libre" - you should first donate your salary to FOSS. Giving away other peoples property is an easy concept for you but will you put your own money where your mouth is?

    I used to like the MS intellimouse explorers but after a new style MS mouse with no bumps and worse placed buttons and to boot it was faulty. I returned it and got a logitech mx1000 which I have no real complaints about but is still not perfect. There are too many unusable buttons and the back/forward would be better of it was bigger.
