  1. Re:Yeah, and about this "squirting" thing... on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 1

    That's impossible. The Communist Party of America hasn't fielded a candidate since before the Soviet Union fell--they told every CPUSA member to vote for the lesser evil.

  2. Re:Did you see CmdrTaco's review of the Zune? on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 1
    7 November 2006: The day Americans forgot 11 September 2001.
    In other words, the day Americans finally realized how utterly stupid the hype surrounding 9/11 was.

    Oh, and album art isn't part of the AAC standard, that's in a different directory on iTunes.
  3. Re:Did you see CmdrTaco's review of the Zune? on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 1

    Actually, AAC has no explicit support for DRM, unlike WMA which treats unencrypted files as encrypted files with a certain key. M4P is a wrapper around the AAC format and not simply another version of AAC.

  4. Re:it is just business on Spammers Learn to Outsource Their Captcha Needs · · Score: 1

    A much easier solution than yours would be widespread [cloning].

  5. Re:Stories like this are perennial. on The Soul of A New Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I have one word for you: Learn paragraphs.

  6. Re:... the lessons of history on Knockoff Tech Selling Better Than the Original · · Score: 1
    P.S. A high-tech 21st Century China, is in no way comparable to 19th Century America
    Hollywood only exists because moviemakers wanted to pirate Edison's moviemaking technology, and they only way they could do that is by getting as far away from New York as possible, and that meant Hollywood.
  7. Re:The best way... on Knockoff Tech Selling Better Than the Original · · Score: 1

    By "pacify" you mean completely wreck so that the citizens have their standard of living brought even lower than it already was under the USSR?

  8. Re:This is "Capitalism" at its best. on Knockoff Tech Selling Better Than the Original · · Score: 1

    The entirety of mathematics, and most science up to recent times.

  9. Re:Microsoft... on Knockoff Tech Selling Better Than the Original · · Score: 1

    But in the case of FOSS the better actually modifies product, not selling like it does with Microsoft.

  10. Re:But they didn't get it on Knockoff Tech Selling Better Than the Original · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Windows is the second-least-usable OS there is. The least usable is Mac OS X.

  11. Re:You can draw comparisons with another company.. on The Soul of A New Microsoft · · Score: 1
    The Mac's marketshare is (still) microscopic and irrelevent
    But it's overpriced so Apple still gains profit on it.
  12. Re:Is their new soul.. on The Soul of A New Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Meet the new soul, same as the old soul.

  13. Re:need to find their heart on The Soul of A New Microsoft · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Microsoft rose to the top by luck. It stayed on top by illegal business practices.

  14. Re:Haha. Not funny. on Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid · · Score: 1

    You missed my point. My point is that the person talking about how "An American has no right to criticize China" is working under a false assumption--that said American likes what America is doing.
    And yes, 51% is still not a mandate.

  15. Re:I thought they didn't censor? on China Jails Porn Site Leader For Life · · Score: 1
    BTW, the fucking creeps that endorces such conduct and practices deserves whatever's coming to them, IMHO.
    Censorship or child porn?
    Personally, I think they're both disgusting. Child pornographers should be arrested for child abuse. I don't really care if somebody watches it, though. As long as they don't foist it on me.
  16. Re:Figures that on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 1

    iTunes' DRM is only 'draconian' in the sense that all DRM is. It is the most liberal DRM there is, for crying out loud! As opposed to the Zune's DRM, which is so draconian that even Hitler would hate it.

  17. Re:Because... on The Incredible Shrinking Cosmonaut Corps · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, he's saying that there's an urban conspiracy to undermine farmers.

  18. Re:Mono and Gtk# too on Software Engineering of GUI Programming? · · Score: 1

    My first guess would be a patent minefield that Mono seems to be in currently.

  19. Re:scoop on Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid · · Score: 1

    That's the Cybercontroller, which was in England and not China(although there were Cybermen in China, as they were in all seven continents)

  20. Re:THIRD brain? on Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid · · Score: 1

    The Cerebellum and the Cerebrum are the first two--in Latin(and in translation to most other languages), the words mean "big brain" and "small brain", although with a slight loss of accuracy.

  21. Re:One brain in your head, one in your pants on Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid · · Score: 1

    He's talking about either that or the cerebellum.

  22. Re:Haha. Not funny. on Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid · · Score: 1

    You, of course, assume that your parent voted Bush. I'm neither the pot nor kettle--both Chinaco and Bushco suck. I'm the fracking lightbulb!

  23. Re:Where is the WTO??? on DARPA Awards HPC Contracts To IBM, Cray, Not Sun · · Score: 1

    Personally I was thinking freaky alien technology.

    Krillitane oil, of course
