  1. Re:I got a better idea! on Interview - Jim White of the Darwine project · · Score: 1

    It's called "bitch the developers to port to GNUstep." :)

  2. Re:I gotta have more blink tag! on SF Author Robert J. Sawyer Looks at 2014 · · Score: 1

    Better yet, after a nuclear holocaust, the only computers to survive intact are magnesium-encased NeXT Cubes and everyone goes back to using WorldWideWeb.

  3. Re:Perspective is skewed.. on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 1
    The changes they made to BSD minus the Cocoa (i.e. NeXTSTEP) API and Aqua are part of Darwin and it's free software.

    Besides, they stole from Mach, too :)

  4. Re:More Useful Engines on On The History Channel's Decisive Battles, Gamed · · Score: 1

    What I want is the opposite--an RTS game that uses MASSIVE as its engine :)

  5. Re:Put it on the Moon. on U.S. Cancels Fusion Program · · Score: 1

    That would be called a naked singularity.

  6. Re:Bow down before... on On MMORPG Franchise Fundamentals · · Score: 1

    Chess MMO. Nuff said.

  7. Re:Chess, Islam, and Arab governments on Hydra vs. Shredder · · Score: 1

    Wasn't chess condemned as idolatrous at various times?

  8. Re:GNU/Chess on Hydra vs. Shredder · · Score: 1

    GnuGO is still only around 10 kyu. Not bad, but a human should be able to do better after about a year of study.

  9. Re:Unbelievable that it's legal on Todd Need[ed] a Liver · · Score: 1

    People die today because there aren't enough organs to transplant. Until we can grow organs, there will always be people who will not get needed donor organs. But if organs were allowed to be sold, there would be many more donor organs out there, and fewer people rich and poor alike would die.

  10. 2. ??? on Labyrinthine 'EVE Online' Scam Recounted · · Score: 2, Funny

    Looks like somebody figured out what Step 2 is.

  11. Re:Sure... on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    tf

  12. Re:Kinda sad... on Next-gen Copyright-aware P2P System Whitepaper · · Score: 1

    It's already legal to release material into the public domain if you want to.

  13. Re:Something new, Something Borrowed, Something Bl on Life After Doom · · Score: 1
    "Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important."

    But please don't bereave me, observe this website.

  14. Re:Cybernectics and sports on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    Chess in the Olympics won't happen. But professional chessplayers still have to take drug tests! It doesn't help that FIDE is run by a dictator (the jail-the-dissidents kind, not the figurative kind).

  15. Re:Sure... on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    Thanks, but I've already decided which font to use with my web browser.

  16. Re:skynet on Open Source in California Government · · Score: 1

    Clearly Skynet runs GNU/Hurd, as it will only be released on the dawn of the Apocalypse :)

  17. Re:Netcraft Confirms It on Open Source in California Government · · Score: 1

    You may not have liked his movies, but I think everyone will agree he had an impact on American culture.

  18. Re:XP Starter is the shiznit, kids! on More Details on Cut-Rate Windows OS For Asia · · Score: 1

    Yeah but Windows 3.1 was pretty stable. If they actually made it a light version by only including the bare necessities, that might make it faster and more stable, but it seems more like it will be intentionally crippled than barebones.

  19. Re:Terrorist! on Johansen Cracks AirPort Express Encryption · · Score: 1

    Better yet, play the DeCSS song that loud.

  20. Re:on the topic of alternative OSes... on DragonFlyBSD 1.0A review · · Score: 1

    You can build an x86 Darwin if you want, but the binary download is actually a fat x86/PPC. I might just be ignorant, but I don't even know of any other fat kernels.

  21. Re:Go Vs. Chess on Asian Origins Of Gaming Exhibited · · Score: 1

    That's because we don't live in Japan where they take Go seriously. What's that? More Japanese people play Shogi than Go? Whoops. I bet they play more Xiangqi in China, too.

  22. Re:Go Vs. Chess on Asian Origins Of Gaming Exhibited · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Maybe they just haven't played Fractal Tic-Tac-Toe

    Next on the agenda is 4D Tic-Tac-Toe.

  23. Re:A good ruling on Jerry Falwell Wins Dispute Over Fallwell.com · · Score: 1

    The problem is that their power is constitutional in the sense of the Athenian Constitution--derived from historical acceptance more than anything else, so the limit is whatever people and the government will put up with. Of course this also leads to things like Andrew Jackson getting away with giving 'em the old "You and what army?" and FDR threatening to stack the court. On the other hand we get wonderful things like penumbrae. (Wasn't that a Magic card?)

  24. Re:Transcript of meeting at BSA... on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1
    Lindsay Naegle is a guy? I guess that would explain a few things...

    Wait a minute. No it wouldn't.

  25. Security Book? on Computer Security for the Home and Small Office · · Score: 2

    It's like a Service Patch for wetware!
