    That spelling is too good to be President Bush.

  2. Re:we've still got Google, for now on Bell Labs Unix Group Disbanded · · Score: 1
    But the exclusive focus by most of today's companies on the next quarter's revenue
    Not focusing on this is a large part of Google's "Don't be evil".
    Google is the home of a lot of research--20% time, anyone?

    Sounds like Chris Rock. Specifically, the end of this quote. "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'."

    Next up: Bullshit powered battery. John Dvorak would probably be able to fuel his entire home from the stuff he spews!

    There's a c in fsck. It's a UNIX command.

    Google mostly uses Python, which doesn't have a switch/Select Case/whatever statement. It uses elifs instead.

    So for people who aren't on Windows?

    1: Taking back the web from whom? I wasn't aware the web ever belonged to anyone.
    From IE. Technically the web doesn't belong to IE, but prior to Firefox, much of the web was IE-centric, and non-standards-compliant.
    2: 80,000,000 downloads...and how many people downloading new versions?
    Those aren't counted.
    3: ASA eh? Sounds like someone didn't want to come up with an actual name and wanted to be anonymous....yea
    Asa is the first name of Asa Dotzler, Firefox developer.

  13. Re:In related news.. on Pentium 4 Overclocked to 7.1GHz, Sets World Record · · Score: 1

    True, but "Super" is either Latin or Greek.(Don't remember which.) I think there's some native Japanese word that could be used instead, which is probably what a Japan-obsessed /.er would use.

  14. Re:This is great on Quake 3 Source Code to be Released · · Score: 1

    There is a technical difference, in that the data is already there in the "Hot Coffee" case. Which means that the patch probably wouldn't need to contain art-type files, only logic-type files. Whether there's a political difference is an open question.

  15. Re:Some Good Ideas on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 1

    The ESRB was created, IIRC, because of this.

  22. Re:Evidently not on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1
    Not really windows is still a more complex piece of software compared to apache. I see just as many bugs from linux through my CERT alerts. We HEAR about it more (not that it happens more, will agree that just because it's used more doesn't mean it should be more insecure) because windows is a more used software.
    Most bugs from Linux are patched before they're exploited. Whereas most bugs from Windows are patched after their exploited.
