  1. Re:Stallman and FOSS on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 0

    "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone"

    Hate to break it to you, but saying "your glad he is gone" is not compliment. In fact it is completely distasteful. So if you heard, so and so died and then you over heard someone say, "I'm glad he's gone," how would you react?

    See there you go. It was an insult, it was awful and it was beneath Stallman to say that. What he could have said was "I don't care for the way he ran Apple and I hope Apple changes it's approach."

    Stallman was being an asshole.

    Nice one genius. Search is still searching all your email in your in-box, even if you only limit what you see.

    Ever archive your email? Folders are a good way to do that.

    Search NEVER captures everything because of the search terms.

  5. Re:If this is true... on Can Relativity Explain Faster Than Light Particles? · · Score: 0

    But rather massive more Neutrinos.

    Regardless Relativity does not allow for particles to be accelerated to the speed of light because of the amount of energy needed.

    However, and this is important, particles already traveling at the speed of light are allowed. So if they are indeed traveling at the speed of light then they might not ne neutrinos or a special case of neutrinos. It's possible they discovered tachyons.

    I'm not holding my breath. I expect an anomaly.

    Dude get some facts. Why do you think we are in the financial mess that we are in today? The GOP during the Bush year spent like a drunken' sailor. They spend Trillions of dollars on two wars - unfunded and to barrow the money from China; Medicare Part D - which they included a section preventing the US Government from negotiating price of drugs, brilliant move; and the lowered taxes on the rich that further added to our deficit. And, not once did the GOP ever stop and debate raising the debt ceiling. They said we she just raise it and not make it political.

    Get some perspective.

  10. Re:Extortion on Samsung Joins Ranks of Android Vendors Licensing Microsoft Patents · · Score: 0

    It's extortion because Microsoft has failed to state what IP Android is infringing. What's suppose to happen is Microsoft would sue Google stating what specific patent Android is infringing. Once the proper evidence has been presented and deemed proper, the court would rule in Microsoft's favor. The court would order Google to remove the offending code and pay Microsoft a fine. Then everyone would be on the merry way.

    However, Microsoft has not done this. Instead Microsoft is extorting money based on the assumption that Android is infringing on their IP and the fear that Microsoft would take these companies to court.

    No fuck off!

    Obviously you are not a lawyer. If Linux or any OS was infringing then Microsoft can point this out in a court of law. The offending parties would have remove the offending code, pay a fine to Microsoft and everyone move on their merry way. This is standard operating procedure.

    However, Microsoft does not want to do this because they will no longer be able to bully anyone. The infringing code would be removed and there would be no more need to pay protection money.

    "I wouldn't bother going to the time and effort to bring a super cool new product..."

    I love jackasses who don't actually make anything and who don't have the resources to make anything, claim, "I won't make a product without a patent."

    Seriously, when you look at the research that has studied the effects of patents, you will see that patents HAVE WORKED AGAINST creating new products as opposed to spurring the creation of new products.

    The GAO looked at patents and the pharmaceutical industry and noted that patents did not help create new drugs but in fact were against the creation of new drugs. The best the pharmaceutical industry could do was tweak anti-histamines.

    In comparison, the fashion industry, which has no patents and is ripe with rip-offs, flourishes and creates new products all the time. The fashion industry makes tons of money and spends quite a bit designing new clothes even though designers get ripped be other clothes manufacturers.

    So no, patents are not necessary. You want to make money - be the first one to market with the better product!

    "After somewhere between 11-13 years the LAD switches off, "

    Pure bullshit. I have a degree in Behavioral Neuroscience and I can tell you emphatically that language ability does not SHUT OFF after age 13. I don't expect a linguistics person to understand neuroscience but you'd think you get a basic understanding of how the brain works!

    The authors are talking about a debate that has been raging on for decades. The age old debate between cognitive functions being localized in brain regions, i.e., Centers or distributed across regions.

    What the data clearly shows is that the brain is rather plastic and dynamic. So much so that you can have steel pipe through your brain and have no effect on language ability. Contrast that to having a lesion in a certain area in the brain and you can't speak. The data also shows there are areas that are strong in language ability. It also shows language is not limited to those areas and damage to the language "centers" can be over-come.
