  1. Re:Sorry to state the obvious on OSDL Denies Rewriting Kernel · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure all those "Just another Perl hacker," programs infringe on some of Rube Goldberg's patents.

    Obviously this won't be an issue since HURD is coming out soon.

    Unix already did this; everyone uses Plan 9 now.

    At least if they do get it, they won't have to worry about letting their domains expire.

    "Googling" can be either a participle or a gerund.

    To be fair though, the industry was in an enormous glut that he pretty much single-handedly ended with Mononoke no Hime.

    It isn't FUD mongering to assume the worst from your government--it's your duty as a patriot.

  8. Re:Yay! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Our understand of how evolution has occurred in the past is indeed a theory (a theory being a well-tested predicative model). But that evolution occurs is at least as much as a fact as your existence.

  9. Re:Possible future problems... on First BitTorrent Arrest in Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    Only the government can be guilty of entrapment in the legal sense. I'm sure you'd have a case if it turned out it was the **AA actually offering the files, but it wouldn't be entrapment.

    Google's image search, however, sucks.

    "We need some original ideas. Get out your TVs."

    Sure, this is a movie, but you get the point.

  12. Re:Not Politically Correct on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    Pratically speaking, we can extract from your post that you think MAC is an acronym. However, I must report your use of this language constitutes a backronym, and not a even a well-known one.

    Science 102: Unreplicated studies that demonstrate effects which are barely statistically significant are not proof.

    No, I'd rather flamebait.

    Like pointing out that Apple used to include little games aimed at teaching you the interface, instead of videos. :-)

    Panther came out 2003-10-04 and the up-to-date program for it extended until 2004-02-29.

    If an OS upgrade comes out within a certain timespan of getting a new Mac, you can get it for $20. I did.

  17. Next Apple Case Mod on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    Dual processors? Dual core processors? How quaint. I'm thinking, dual computers. Surely you could find a way to fit a Mac mini inside a PowerMac G5 and use it as an ancillary computer with some form of remote desktop.

  18. Re:Mac Mini on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    He means the original iMac keyboard. It had a number pad, but no section between the number pad and regular keys with help, home, page up, etc. The arrow keys were jammed into the lower right corner of the regular keys.

  19. Re:Huh? on Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term · · Score: 1
    You're correct in that the Red Scare was not a witchhunt. There were Communist agents in the U.S., and VENONA is proof of it.

    McCarthy didn't know about VENONA, however. He was and remains a jackass.

    From TFA:

    According to the laws of aerodynamics, the bumblebee should not be able to fly. Yet fly it manifestly does, albeit in a stately fashion. So much for the laws of aerodynamics.

    Erm, whoops, yes they should be able to fly. Their cliché is outdated.

    I don't like the IRS either, but the 16th amendment kind of disagrees with you.

    No, but I read through all legally-binding contracts which have penalties for breaking them.

  25. Re:How to make it credible: on WikiPedia Founder Wales Speaks About Wikinews · · Score: 1
    Actually I was trying to be rather polite. In reality you're being a ignorant asshole by asserting that something foreign to you deserves derision if you think it sounds silly. Maybe "Microsoft" should rename their company because like Conan O'Brien pointed out, puerile people might associate the name with a flaccid penis.

    I'm not saying that the name might not sound silly at first, or that there's anything wrong if you think it does. But it's not a silly name, and if you can't grow up and get over the sound of a word, you have bigger issues the Wikinews.
