  1. Re:Don't let the state nany, take some responsibil on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1
    Sex is a natural thing that happens between two people who like each other a lot.

    We're talking about porn here. More like sex is a thing that happens between a pissa deliverygirl and a customer, when he opens the door. Ofcause there in lies a problem, because if oral services aren't sexual relations, then sex is what happens he's opened the door, she's striped and serviced his penis, and they then find the couch.
    Sex may not be corrupting to children but to say that porno isn't is an Intirely different statement.

  4. Re:The USPTO has done it again, brilliant. on Google Patents RSS Advertising · · Score: 1

    Call me stupid, but the whole RSS'vatisement I first saw applied 3months ago, 2months after I first read about the ideer somewhere. Where is all this prior art, and does it predate Google's aplication? The whole karma deal is shit, yes, but Google doesn't apear to be patentwhoring, and I doubt(based on karma) that they tryed to get this patent throug, knowing that there was prior art.

    On another note. RSS'vatisement is annoying, so if people have to stop doing it, I woundn't mind all that much.

    I see your point. The whole subjective good/bad scale ofcause rates intent rather then content, and if anyone where to read this not knowing that it was a parody and say "that's bad" they would be intirely wrong.

    You should read How I'm Is a Hello THERE!? It's terrible, but intentionally, so it's good. Ofcause it's not intentionally good, so it must be bad, or maybe I am mistaken.

    it's just the way that GUI stuff appears to the user

    Think of it this way. I want to run an automated photoshop process on 20.000 images. Since Photoshop was developed to the "Interface with noone"-ideology. I still have to open op the GUI(one that is useless to the process at hand) and it even has to show me each picture open up, show the changes and then be saved.
    Had they been of the "interface it" mind, they could have made it possible for me to run it in a commandline, sending back information of where the changed pictures are saved and stored(so further changes can be made when photoshop is done with it).

    Currently there is simply a great gap between "GUI programs" and "console programs" when it comes to playing nice with others. This is the gap Apple is trying(trying) to close with automater, asking developers to make make it posible to use their apps through it. And just as the commandline automater isn't for everyone but those who use it find it extremly helpfull.

    It's a beer made by IT people... They proberbly spend more time making the webpage then acutally reading about brewing(Wich is more of a biology thing).

    Noting that they made this project in cooporation with a beer brewing company, they most likely didn't have anything to do with the process, except maybe the caffeine part.

    Atom size and orbitals become continues is the "new" chart. That's the whole point. Electronegativitiy is poorly reprecented on the table of elements, so why is it a loss to have it not be reprecented at all?(Or better put: To have it badly reprecented in a different style). The point being made is that the important information is better desplayed in a circular way.

    As information preservation goes, it's more important to reprecent the information in a style the fits the nature of the information then trying to "force" it into a box chart.

    I've played my share of quake, so I'm not the average user, but I can drag a file to the lowest folder in the java demo with the same amount of mouse movement it takes to drag it to a hot corner. And about the same speed. There's 6folders in the demo, so the speed is about the same. Using Expose I would also have to identify the folder when it opens since I don't know where it is(in expose) only how it looks.

    This offeres a very intuiative way of moving around in layers assuming you know where the folder you are looking for is in the stack.
    imho this would proberply compliment Expose quite well.
