    But uhm, it's gpl, and yeah, gpl software always rule and will always win, so that's why his os suck and hurd would be much better, pretty much so, yeah!

    Because like, look at Sun! Solaris suck lol! Gentoo wins! Solaris + GPL = autowin for Sun always!

    (Nah, I'm just tired..)

    2) Yeah because it's insanely hard for a script to replace any words meaning a number with the actual number, find the part which says add and then add them all? It's not like you will have to code an answer for each possible string ..

    What about doing the captchas the other was around, like:

    Just put some hard to read perl code in there and ask the user to say what it does. If the answer is correct it's a bot, if the answer is wrong it's probably a human ;)

  8. Re:Random Coloration Photos on Yahoo CAPTCHA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Or scramble all the colors in the image (not that useful I guess but a human can solve it anyway) of a large size where you only show a small part and also put in a riple effect somewhere on the image.

    But no matter what we come up with it can always be solved somehow, of course. So it's rather useless, start ask for money for each account and the problem will be much smaller ;)

  9. Re:So will this ... on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 1

    Ok, so it doesn't turn it on for the whole OS but only for the terminal? That sucks.

    Guess this is one bad thing with a closed OS =P, if Steve doesn't like it we'll never see it :)

  15. Re:Patent Devlopment? on State of US Science Report Shows Disturbing Trends · · Score: 1

    Exactly, just because the same shit aren't accepted in other countries doesn't make the US the most developing and innovating nation. Thought you probably are anyway.

    To bad with the schools thought, I got the impression somewhere that us schools didn't learned as much "basics" but more advanced stuff because it seemed more beneficial or something? But I guess math and science should be among those more advanced things so it doesn't make that much sense. I can agree that history and religion and such crap are rather useless ;D

  16. Re:Because smarter people pick up the tab. on French Fine Amazon For Free Shipping · · Score: 1

    Even if shoping at a lowprice market would give less jobs in your own area whatever money you actually do make will get you more stuff, so I doubt you lose at it in the end (if the resources are spread evenly so we aren't talking about someone who are unemployed.)

    And in any case, even if it DID lead to a local financial and standard loss it also leads to a raise of living/financial standards in whatever other country so it even out the economy and living between all the humans which imho is a good thing, even if it may suck for me/us. (This falls if there are some greedy market force which keep most of the profit and it never reach the workers in that area I guess.. but hey, you like capitalism (and now I will get my ass spanked.))

    Since the game probably ARE the Windows version with Cider added I would guess the same keys work. Or you could in theory "port" it yourself from a Windows version with Cider, thought you wanted to do it the other way around.

    They don't bother with it anyway because:
    1) Apple doesn't listed to what they want.
    2) Apple spec their machines like.. uhm.. shit, with lots of integrated graphics, mid-end graphics and with low VRAM (I have the latest gen MBP with only 128MB vram due to this, which is so fucking retarded I don't even know where to start, especially considering how much use core image could use of it.)
    3) Mac fanatics only complain how omg you should play on consoles, noone buy mac for games, yada yada.
    4) You can dual-boot with Windows and the game performance will be better there anyway.

  20. Re:Punishing your PAYING customers on Is Copy Protection Needed or Futile? · · Score: 1

    I for sure hate to have to look around for my Warcraft 3 CD when I want to play. Even more so that I have to use the TFT one in OS X althought it doesn't matter which one in Windows since I have two ROC CDs.
    I hate that I broke the original TFT CD by droping it (see http://cdcrack.istheshit.net/), kind of suck if you can't download it.

    Annoying to require a DVD-drive / to actually have a disk in it / extra noise from spinning.

    Thought in this case actually requiring a key makes pirates banned from bnet which is a good thing, easier to ban cheaters aswell. So I'm all for the key but not useless cd copy protection.
