  1. Re:Old Chinese pictures on Fifth HOPE Conference Underway · · Score: -1

    Dude, look again. That's an 'S', not a 'B'. Why would it say 'ALWAYB'???

  3. Wikity Wikity Wak: Emacs Wiki, MegaWiki on Best To-Do List Software? · · Score: 0

    I just discovered MegaWiki for Palm OS and EmacsWikiMode for Emacs. It essentially allows you to create hyperlinked documents with ease. Basically, it's a private Wiki. If you don't know what a Wiki is, check out wikipedia.org for an example.

    This software allows you to type text documents with minimal formatting, and the real beauty is that when you WriteSomethingLikeThis (i.e. CamelCase), it automatically turns that string of text into a link to a new entry. Click on that link and you can fill in the details for that new entry. I've found MegaWiki on the Palm does a great job of keeping my thoughts organized. Check it out.

    This is great if you're a scatterbrain like me and come up with a new thought while you're writing one thought down.

    This will usher in a new age of video piracy!

    Yes, the makers of the Sleep Room built the Sleep Room because they were so fatigued from working on the Sleep Room.

    Reasons to use Bluetooth? You might want to read this post for some reasons why Bluetooth rocks.

    For great justice!

  8. Re:Good ideas on Digital Photography Composition 101 · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I never use flash. The built-in flash on my camera is crappy anyway, and pictures just don't look natural with it. I've found it helps to set up my digital camera (Canon A75) to take a picture 2 seconds after I hit the button to take the shot. This prevents jitter from just hitting the button.

    Well, yes. It'll tell you the time and the date!

    Haha. I thought something similar. It sounded like a passage from The Art of War.

    For a second I thought you meant the PDA wristwatch and this gadget will let you see more of your ass @ the toilet seat.

  18. Re:A Crippling Decision... on China Plans Domestic Software Quotas · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The only way they could possibly circumvent this is by loading their machines up with 70% worth of crap they don't want - hey ho, I think I've found the solution!!

    Kind of sounds like the "cancon" here in Canada: The Canadian content quota requirement placed on the media to ensure local artists get airtime (as opposed to hearing only American artists).

  19. Own operating system? on China Plans Domestic Software Quotas · · Score: 1
    It's no secret that China's goal is to have an internationally competitive software industry. Linux, it believes, may be the key to achieving that.

    Why can't their software industry write software for Windows? Are they basically going to force the use of Linux to ensure that local companies are able to write new software for the platform since there may not already be Linux-native apps they require? Or do they believe Linux really will be even bigger in the next few years?

    Does this mean Martian women have dicks?

    Well, yes, I suppose so, considering Men are from Mars.

  21. RTFA on Fired Via Instant Message · · Score: 5, Informative

    South Korea's third-largest credit card issuer fired a quarter of its workforce via mobile phone text messages on Friday, after negotiations with striking unionized workers broke down.

    The firm said it had no method for contacting striking staff other than using the short message service (SMS).

    I suppose, to them, it would be no different than calling them all up directly, other than the fact that that would take too long (plus, you'd have to put up with them complaining about getting fired, etc.).

  23. Dumb question on Beyond An Open Source Java · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So what exactly is closed-source right now? The language is obviously out in the open. Is that copyrighted? Is it the compiling into binary code itself that is copyrighted?
