  1. Re:Questions on Objectively Comparing Competing Search Engines? · · Score: 3, Informative

    That kind of engines are indeed nice. Still, they have their own oddities. For laughs, I tried to ask the system whether moon is made of cheese.

    It so turns out that moon is indeed made of cheese!

    "is moon made of cheese?"
    "The Moon is Made of Cheese"

    I guess it still takes some time before that kind search engines become more popular than the traditional ones.

  2. Re:Best quote ever on BSA Wants EU Open Standard Policy Reconsidered · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Additionally, the following sentences are also relatively amusing.

    "allow standards to include patented technology as long as the patent owner licenses the patent claims on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms, he said. "

    I think the "nondiscriminatory terms" here means that everyone gets hit just as bad. I guess it's just fine if you charge everyone equally.

    Still, the quote is pretty nice. He could have just summed it up by saying "how can we make money out of this?".

  3. I know a person who verified his Linux... on Microsoft Just Wants a Little Look · · Score: 2, Interesting

    His Slackware turned out to be a legitimate copy of Windows. Figure that. The number could very well consist of page loadings or such, instead of actual verifications. Some people actually tried it out for fun. I guess I should give it a try from few OSes as well.

  4. For that... on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    The word "desegregate" might also work. Not sure on what kind of pictures you might be looking at, though...
