  1. Re:'plays Big Brother'? on Inside Microsoft's New Digital Photo Project · · Score: -1

    my first thought was not of the Television show, but of the big brother in 1984

    If you've never read 1984, what it amounts to is that there is always someone watching you, this ever watchful eye is always waiting for you to screw up so that it can destroy you, mind body and soul. basically its where the whole name "Big Brother" came from, in fact the show is named after it, makes me wonder what kind of society we live in where we want to have such things.

    (i'm speaking strictly of the US i dont know any other country, i need to get out more)

    i'd guess that i'm tinkering enough, between me and my dad we've got about 3 small tupperware things full, we have no idea where they all came from anymore, but we know where to go to get them, and still find more

    hmm maybe we ought to try selling them on ebay

    so SCO has been causing problems by corrupting the original soul and then claiming all derivative souls from the begining of time? i only hope they don't begin to try to claim ownership and charge a licesnse fee or they come and cease your use of their soul

  8. Re:English units? on Another English/Metric "Spacecraft" Problem · · Score: 0

    i could understand this if it was just 16's and 32's but 1/16 and 1/12 and 1/32 and 1/5280 can be kinda annoying, at least compared to .1 .001 .00001 and 100

  10. Re:Dumb question on Will Intel Ship an x86-64bit Chip This Year? · · Score: 0

    actually for a 32-bit app since its the processor is litterally backwards compatable (thats the beauty of x86-64) it may not slow it down all that much, if not at all noticably to a person, now if you are using 64-bit code at the exact same rates as 32-bit code, it could most easily be slower.

  11. QT theme for GTK? on Unifying GTK & QT Theme Engines · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'd like to see a similar thing for QT that uses the current GTK theme, but what happens when you turn on both of these!?!

  12. Re:Lots of things your body uses are poison on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 0

    Oxygen is a poison. Acetone (which is one of the first in line on the "bad things in cigarettes" ads) is naturally produced in plants which we eat regularly.

    I call bullshit on this one, not on the Acetone being produced by plants (it is), but the oxygen one, for us Oxygen is not a poison it is needed for respiration. And the way that is written it sounds like you are implying that oxygen isn't produced regularly by plants, i dare you to give me a plant that produces carbon dioxide!!
