  1. Re:You missed the important bit... on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    And I'm still shocked that they banned the APPD. Seriously.

  2. Re:Time machine? on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    This german woman must be viewing the internet through some sort of time portal

    The term you are looking for may be "printer".

  3. Re:We need to lock everyone in their houses on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    Riots will only serve as a scarecrow.

  4. Re:Minister for Family Affairs on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    Yeah...you do realize Orwell was a right-wing nutbag, right? His 1984 was squarely aimed at...the commies! *shock* *horror* a world with no rich people, whatever are we to do?

    So how could this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homage_to_Catalonia have happened?

  5. Re:4chan on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    Frankly, I'm fucking scared of the western world and have been for a few years. I really, really want my own planet.

    I second that.

  6. Re:4chan on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    In the end, they decided to shrink Germany, split it in two, ethnically cleanse all Germans from areas outside German borders and write a new constitution for them.

    The new constitution was written by germans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundgesetz#Drafting_process Of course, approval had to be obtained.

    Since concepts like "health care" are also included: I vote for the laws of thermodynamics.

    What about: the ability to discover context, to abstract, to apply knowledge and to solve problems with that abilities.

  9. Re:Thanks on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 1

    It doesn't. But most people are forced to do stuff they don't care about. It's called work, you insensitive clod!

  10. Meh. on Bacterial Computer Solves Hamiltonian Path Problem · · Score: 1

    And i thought this had something to do with the Hamiltonian Principle. Turns out it's only CS.

  11. Re:Debian on Canonical Fully Open-Sources the Launchpad Code · · Score: 1

    That's no solution, that's asking for trouble.

  12. Re:Encryption plan on Making Cesium Atoms Do a Quantum Walk · · Score: 1

    Quantum talk? Is this like small talk, only more fuzzy?

  13. Re:Nice. But. on Repulsive Force Discovered In Light · · Score: 1

    It only separates the lines using Maginot Line Feeds.

    That's handy. You only need a piece of paper to write a whole book on, this way.

  14. Re:Angular momentum on Repulsive Force Discovered In Light · · Score: 1

    Light has a lower angular momentum inside an dialectric than in air or vaccum. This means that it imparts a force upon entering a dialectric and upon exiting a dialectric. If it is combined out of phase within the dialectic, then destructive interference will mean that the entering and exiting force imparted by the light beams will be out of balance (as the intensity of the exiting beam will be lower without any radiation-pressure type interactions being required) and there will be a net repulsive force.

    If the beam is exiting the dialectric with a lower intensity as it normally would, where goes all the energy?

  15. Re:Beats Web-apps on Google Releases Open Source NX Server · · Score: 1

    My guess is, they will develop an AJAX based NX client ... BETA.

  16. Re:Already Open on Mass Speculation Suggests Oracle May Kill OpenSolaris · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe the next version could be called NetSolaris. We could install it on very large toasters.

    I always wondered if they would run Linux. But you cleared it all up now. It's just so obvious.

  20. Re:Oblig. wiki-link on Memristor Minds, the Future of Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    It's called "adding context" and should have been in the summary, anyway. It's called HTML for a reason.

  21. Re:promise doesn't extent downstream on Microsoft Puts C# and the CLI Under "Community Promise" · · Score: 1

    Microsoft irrevocably promises not to assert any Microsoft Necessary Claims against you for making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or distributing any implementation, to the extent it conforms to one of the Covered Specifications, and is compliant with all of the required parts of the mandatory provisions of that specification

    It includes "using". So I do not receive the rights from the distributor of a MONO application, but I, as a user, am directly granted the right to use it from the microsoft community promise.

    The real question is: does that cover "modifying"? Might be interesting for distributors which may want to patch Mono.

    The fact that you have to conform to the standards is however a real restriction. It makes some sense, to avoid someone else playing an embrace-extend-hijack on them, like they tried with Java... however this also means that if I invent my own language+runtime D# that infringes on some microsoft C# patents this does not protect me.

    Would be interesting where that puts Vala. It's very similar to C#.

  22. Re:Implementations in progress appear not covered on Microsoft Puts C# and the CLI Under "Community Promise" · · Score: 1

    (...) to the extent it conforms to one of the Covered Specifications, and is compliant with all of the required parts of the mandatory provisions of that specification ("Covered Implementation") [...]

    Interesting. I was already wondering wth a "covered implementation" might be.

    Why? We'll get a C# compiler, what's bad or unimportant about that?

  24. Re:only 30% more efficient? on Incandescent Bulbs Return To the Cutting Edge · · Score: 1

    How the hell is that comment insightful? There are flourescents that are the same size as the incandescents you're used to with a warm spectrum. What about updating your knowledge from ~5 years ago?

  25. Re:Only honest discussions are useful. on Hawking Says Humans Have Entered a New Stage of Evolution · · Score: 1
    Of course that's a double standard, but it's the right way. Always judge yourself according to your own ethics. But don't impose them on others.

    There may be a quote from pre-Abrams Star Trek in here ("Code of Honor", TNG perhaps).
