  3. Re:That's nothing on The Matrix Trailers, Reloaded and Re-Encoded · · Score: 1


    you have to really think about what is happening, have a little bit of grounding in physics/philosophy, AND keep in mind that there are no truly wasted scenes (yes, the train station scene was NOT wasted. think about what you learned in it.)

  5. Re:open source versus capitalism on Iraq's Open Source Possibilities · · Score: 1

    If France and Germany had had their way, there wouldn't be ANY contracts to award in Iraq, so I don't know why they think they are entitled to some now.


    Was the war an effort to obtain these contracts? If so, France and Germany were right in not supporting the war. And they would also be right in thinking that America has no claim over Iraq and no right to decide who can bid and who can't

  6. Re:Oh Come ON on Have You Fought Your ISP Over Bandwidth Limits? · · Score: 2, Funny


    Like it or not, 90% of those people who have high bandwidth usage are using it for illicit activities.

  8. Re:How the hell... on 96 Hours Of Open Source Talks In Bangalore · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you had RTFA, you'd see that those are talks taking place simultaneously in different halls.

    Are you sure he wasn't referring to you being a bit disproportionate?
    "I'm not Pro-Microsoft, I'm Anti-Bullshit."

    Probably not. You're the one who seems to like bending over for him. With a signature like that, i've always wondered if you weren't Bill Gates yourself. Or are you his Little Bitch (TM)?

  12. Re:Cannot expect one-size-fits-all workplace to wo on Companies Move Away From Cubicle Culture · · Score: 1

    I don't think carrying around seven 10-pound books all day sounds like a good idea.
    Which is exactly what we in India do. And it's more than just 7 books. It's atleast 8 books and 8 notebooks to be carried to and from school!
    Lockers are just too expensive and occupy too much space, i guess

  13. Re:Well, on Web Pages Are Weak Links in the Chain of Knowledge · · Score: 1

    Bill Gates never said that, yadda yadda yadda.
    How would you know? This was the summer of '81 when he came to visit me. He also said a lot of other things ("I've made a deal with the beast" or something of that kind). I wasn't really paying attention.

    In addition to standard militarism, a return to dualing as a legal means of conflict resolution would be beneficial.
    Wow! Right upto this point, i believed you were sane.

  18. Re:Seriously, guys... on Company Files Motion to Stop IE Distribution · · Score: 1

    That is what we call inappropriate consequences and is like a bully complaining that a kid who he has been beating up every day for the past year is now aiming a gun at his head.
    You're a scary dude, man! You really think the bully has no cause to complain?

  22. Re:Probability on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 1

    All the people commenting that "1 in 909000 is a very small number" or words to that effect, forget that almost every time, someone does get to win the lottery. If we just happen to be in the unfortunate 909000th parallel universe, the fact that it missed in all the others will be small consolation.

    Excerpt from the news item for geeks with parallel universe theories,

    The chances that we are in that parallel universe in which the asteroid causes damage is 909000 to 1

    There. Feel better now?

  23. Re:Ruby ? Hmm. on RubyForge Open For Ruby Project Hosting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apparently, they're "too nice".
    As has been posted on the newsgroup (comp.lang.ruby) before, they're too "enlightened" to get into flamewars defending ruby.
    Flamewars, as we all know is the best forum for advocacy :-)

  24. Re:Does it really matter? on Youth Spend More Time on Web Than TV · · Score: 1

    That said, I'm not sure how long all of this free content will last. Given my choice of browser, I don't view any ads. How long can the "system" support this leeching of content?

    That's the beauty of it. We mozilla users can enjoy free content as long as IE rules the browser martket!! Web-sites will still be generating revenue from ads off the IE users. So we'll literally be having our content paid for by the IE users, forever and ever. BUWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

    Reliable sources say that Tom Cruise is a closet geek and leads three projects on Sourceforge.
