  2. Fuck github.....they allow mindfuck and not C+= ? on GitHub Takes Down Satirical 'C Plus Equality' Language · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am sorry, but C+= is not the first parody language.....

  3. Re:Wondering... on Root of Maths Genius Sought · · Score: 1

    "Mathematics" is a singular word, not a plural.

    Do not confuse an 's' on the end of a word as making it plural.
    Otherwise, 'this', 'as', 'was', would all be plural, and they are not.

  4. Re:iPhone can forget old networks on iPhone Apparently Open To Old Wi-Fi Attack · · Score: 1

    Yeah, there is no way I have found to forget a network if it has been turned off, other than putting up your own "fake" network and then removing it.

    Too bad I did not know this so I could create a list of every public network I ever attached to.

  5. Re:Where have I heard this before? on Blizzard's Unannounced 'Titan' MMO Rebooted, Development Team Reduced · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    How was it great?

    I was a huge fan of StarCraft, and was disappointed with StarCraft2.
    Why?
    Because to my eye, it was the same game with better graphics.

  6. Heinlein Prediction.... on Transfusions Reverse Aging Effects On Hearts In Mice · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Didn't Heinlein predict this as what people did to mimic the Howard families longevity? I think he wrote about it in "Time Enough For Love"

    Um....No. Just plain No.

  8. Re:"totally new like the ipod" on Apple's iWatch Could Come With IOS, Earn $6 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    Nope. Not obtuse at all.

    It was a great product, but it was not "totally new".

  9. "totally new like the ipod" on Apple's iWatch Could Come With IOS, Earn $6 Billion a Year · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Say what? Exactly what was totally new about the ipod?

    I suppose you could say the design of the case was new, but MP3 players were out before the iPod.

    Thanks for the info, but it is really useless unless you won the lottery...

  12. Re:Screenshot on Clutter Reaches 1.0 Release Candidate Status · · Score: 1

    Hmmmmm to be honest I saw nothing new in that video. IT looked like a pretty standard interface with some added buttons and such.

    Nothing that could not be done in say....FVWM for instance.

    Where is the 3D????

    Why did you take that out of context?

    But the same could be said of abortion.

    No, the nonliving mass of cells in the woman's uterus doesn't count.

    I think the problem some people have with abortion is that it IS a living mass of cells

    I think what you meant to say is the non-self aware mass of cells in the woman's uterus does not count.

    I wonder how long before we can verify an earth like extrasolar planet?

    As more of these are found we may be able to plug more data into drake's equation

  19. Re:Mods on crack? on Making the Switch To Windows "Workstation" 2008 · · Score: 2

    read your grandparent post.(my great-gp) and see that he mentions removing the check in the msi file. That is why it was redundant.

  20. Re:I like to think of the motives on Linguistic Problems of GPL Advocacy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IF we had free drivers for printers, the market would support the printers that adhered to the standard for printers the best.

    I understand what you mean, but the reason writing an OSS printer driver is hard is not because it is inherently hard, but because they can hide the inner working of the printer behind a closed source driver.

  21. Re:it's apparently amateur night on Interview With Author of the First Spoof Language · · Score: 1

    And grandparent obviously referred to the tool which is perl.

    Just because you wanted him to refer to the language does not make it true.

    Okay, then you can put up a blank page or no page at all. As long as it's not a page of ads, I really don't care. I don't consider pages of ads to be a legitimate use for a domain name; other than that, I don't care what you do with it. how about this?

    Or even this?

    The former is a blatant comedic stroke of genius. The second is the same as the squatter sites.

    Well, I think the joke was not about muhammed at all. IT was about the art and making fun of it. You seem to have trouble separating art from your prophet. Isn't that idolatry on your part?
