    Wow, is there anything Steve Jobs can't do?
    Gaming.
  2. Re:LOL, liberal draws strength from his *daughter* on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    Oh right, securing freedom by spying, intimidation, and indefinite imprisonment without trial. Go back to the Dark Ages.

  3. Re:Truce? They want to split the community. on Microsoft Calls for Truce With GPL and Linux? · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft said it? Everyone would switch to Vim.

    libc is LGPL. That means proprietary libs can link to it, but they can't change it.

    wraith (from atlantis, who now have our coordinates)
    If the Ori find the Wraith(the Wraith are headed for Earth and no Prior has been outside of the SGC on Earth), the Wraith will probably suffer the same fate as every other race the Ori meet: join or die.
    replicators (from the asgard galaxy, who have our coordinates BUT are stuck (IIRC, AFAIK) in a time distortion field)
    From Wikipedia: "The Dakara weapon fired and destroyed all the Replicators, including the ship Daniel Jackson was on, thus ending the war with the Goa'uld and Humans. It is unknown whether Replicators outside the Milky Way were also destroyed by the weapon."
    asgard
    This is the really interesting one. We know there were O'Neill-class battleships in the finale fighting against the Ori, we don't know how well they fared(will fare)
    remaining go'auld
    Nerus, a minor Goa'uld under Ba'al, was a one-time follower of Origin. Ba'al is clearly afraid of the Ori(as evidenced by his takeover attempt of the Jaffa Council)
    ancients (yeah, like they'll really do anything!)
    The Ori are investing a great deal of effort in the Milky Way Galaxy because the Alterans are there. The Ori want to extinguish the Ancients.

    Yes. It was a pirate ship. Or, at least, it should have been.

    Apparently your grammar has been "contained" as well.

    The Windows API spec isn't even fully documented inside Microsoft.

    It's not the making fun of the French that got you that mod.

  11. Re:UK pricing on Pricing For Retro Games on the Wii · · Score: 1

    None taken, I was at a moment of weakness. I hated the name "Wii" when it first came out as well, and while I still prefer "Revolution", I don't mind "Wii" anymore. Just look at the flurry of press they got to see that Nintendo did in fact make a smart move.(You don't survive as a company for over 100 years without being smart.)

  12. Re:new CSS is teh suxX! on Making Science Machine Readable · · Score: 1

    I don't really care about the old look or the new look or whatever, as long as it's not as hideous as Digg. I'd be fine with either one(although the weird blockquote/italic errors need to be fixed ASAP). I wonder though if it's the same people saying "We need a change" and "We need a change back".

    VALA: It's funny isn't it? Daniel always wanted to get into my pants and now I'm in his.
  14. Re:UK pricing on Pricing For Retro Games on the Wii · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think you mean the "Wii get screwed" tax. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    A whole hole, I assume.

  16. Re:Elephant in the Room on 3D Human Cells Grown · · Score: 1

    Doesn't mean that technique will work everywhere. And most anti-choicers would rather see the fetus burned than used in medical studies for some unexplicable reason, so it's a moot point anyways.

    "Tennis for Two" or somesuch.

    Actually, first it changed into the maker of a keyboard, then into this guy.

    Yeah, but what if humanity is spread throughout the galaxy via a network of wormholes, and they all once spoke Latin
    You mean the Alterans?
  20. Re:Why haven't I heard about this before? on Planets Without Stars or Mini-Solar Systems? · · Score: 1

    What the Romans called catapulta isn't what we call catapult, it's what we call ballista(basically a giant bow-and-arrow), and what we call catapult they call ballista. Even though correcting it would make it unknown to those who don't know this obscure fact.

  21. Re:TERRORISM IS FUD PERIOD on CyberTerrorism - Reality or FUD? · · Score: 1

    I tend to be suspicious of any site whose name ends in "watch", they are almost always total bullshit, and less of a watch and more of a bashingfest. We need a "watch-watch", a metawatch if you will.

  22. Re:Joss Whedon, Please on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    I think you need to do it in the order Fox showed the Firefly episodes so that they understand: ".xoF gnihtyreve gniniur rof sknahT"
    That way they'll be able to understand it correctly.

    Actually, even VB starts at 0. I think it's only PHP or some other even-worse-than-VB language like that that starts with 1.
