  2. Re:This is terrible on Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry · · Score: 0

    If you lived in Australia you'd hear a hell of a lot about our priests doing it, though not a whole lot about the American priests. Funny that how news services give higher precedence to local stories.

  3. Re:bullshit on Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry · · Score: 0

    And besides, companies already can find out if you've been convicted of a felony which a sex crime is

    So why do they need a publicly accessible registry?

    Most of the ocean floor is sand so I'm sure a fish would be well qualified to talk about it.

    Like they say, Linux derives from Unix, which they hold the rights to, maybe Linux users should just pay up.

  9. It's only freaking pop music on EFA Claims No Illegal Material On mp3s4free.net · · Score: 1

    So let's say linking to "illegal" mp3s IS wrong, let's say the highest freaking court in the land will rule in favor of the music industry, well hoopy do, fucking jay walking is wrong too. Do policeman go chasing after people every time they see one walk against a red man? No of course not, they have better things to do. In a society with so much "real" crime going on why is so much attention given to bloody 15 years olds downloading the latest Britney single? Fuck the music industry and their profits, and fuck the elected officials whos pockets are getting pissed in by these people. What a bloody waste of resources chasing after file downloaders.

  11. Re:Yikes ignore parent on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 1

    I don't think Moore ever tried to draw any direct cause/effect correlations between the various observations he made, as your article implies, it was more of a broader exploration of the various facets of Amercian culture that MAY be contributing to the massively disproportianate number of violent deaths your society has compared to other apparently similar developed western nations. Are you going to deny that your country does have a problem with gun violence? If not what factors do you think may be responsible for it?

  15. Re:Cool, another music format on Dell Announces New Music Player, Download Service · · Score: 1

    Yeah I know it's a player. In absence of a generally accepted term for the actual format that the iTunes music service utilises to encode their music I have simply called it "iTunes" format. Do you have another name for the format (not the service or player)? And no AAC is not good enough there is no such thing as a generic AAC format, headers, DRM etc make the various offerings incompatible with each other hence adding to the clutter.

  24. C# IS compiled on Does C# Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    It is compiled Just In Time by the JIT compiler i.e. at runtime. Once an assembly has been compiled the machine code will stay cached and that is what will be called subsequently. Code will run slow the first time it is used after that it should be just as quick as a C++ binary. The reason the IL (intermediate language) is distributed is for portability i.e. a Linux .Net CLR (as if) will run the same IL as can run on Windows. C# is not interpreted like the old days, it IS compiled, just only at runtime.
