  1. Re:Maybe a phone should just be a phone on We're Just Not That Into You, iPhone Apps · · Score: 1

    My laptop doesn't fit in my pocket. My phone does.

  2. Re:Who cares about binary drivers on The Secret Lives of Ubuntu and Debian Users · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not only do I want my computer to fucking work, I want it to continue fucking working no matter what anyone else does.

    I don't care why Apple sells computers.

    If you can't understand that, then you're an idiot. Stop assuming everyone uses computers the same way you do.

  3. Re:Please keep me informed on Second World of Warcraft Expansion Launched, Conquered · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You sure? One of the great things about NetHack is that you have all the time you want before doing anything. Fall down a hole and get surrounded by 'H's, take a break, read up on what you can do, decide the best way to continue. None of this "I must act as soon as possible" stuff.

  4. Re:Emacs without X on (Stupid) Useful Emacs Tricks? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't work because the switch is emacs -nw. Either set an alias, install emacs-nox if you have it, or start emacs with an empty $DISPLAY variable.

  5. Re:Mood stabilizers? on Drugs In Our Drinking Water · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, that's just the air coming out of his wife.

  6. Re:It's open source because... on Microsoft Singularity Now "Open" Source · · Score: 1

    Is there a difference between "managed code" and "interpreted code"? They seem like two words for the same thing.

  7. Re:"Windows Key" anyone? on The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of All Time · · Score: 1

    I use the Windows key (aka 'mod4Mask') to control my tiling window manager. mod-number switches to workspace whatever, mod-h and mod-l resize windows, mod-a opens a terminal, mod-p opens program launcher. It's so much more productive, and I don't have to lose my Alt key to anything. Also, no mouse!

  8. Re:my rebuttal on Is Apple Killing Linux on the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Then get a mutli-button mouse. Even Apple sells 'em now.

    That's tricky to do when it's a trackpad, though.
  9. Re:Not sure if this is a good idea on Sun's Trading Symbol Going From SUNW To JAVA · · Score: 4, Funny
  10. Re:Why do you overlook the obvious answer? on Astronomer Offers Theory Into 400-Year-Old Lunar Mystery · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess Itchy had the right idea...

  11. Re:ROFL on Dateline NBC Mole Outed At DefCon · · Score: 1
    The current fortune fits right in:

    Extreme feminine beauty is always disturbing. -- Spock, "The Cloud Minders", stardate 5818.4
  12. Re:Without a doubt on Any "Pretty" Code Out There? · · Score: 1

    /* What does 0 mean? What if my operating system returns 11 for success? */

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main()
    {
            puts("Hello, World!");
            return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }

  13. Re:If only... on PHP 4 End of Life Announcement · · Score: 1

    Most other languages rely on fairly heavy web frameworks, which gain a lot of power at the expense of a huge jump in complexity. With a PHP project, I can choose my own level of complexity.


    Have you tried using Ruby, Perl or Python without one of their great big frameworks? You can still write simple PHP-like code in a language that doesn't suck.
  14. Re:what on UK Proposal To Restrict Internet Pornography Sparks Row · · Score: 1
  15. Re:That will be it then on 1 Billion PCs by End of 2008 · · Score: 1

    77% perhaps?

  16. Re:EMACS on GNU Coughs Up Emacs 22 After Six Year Wait · · Score: 1

    Does doing that really help?

    When you're dualing (dueling?) key chords, you just keep the modifier key held down. That is, C-x-f, where you hold down Control all the time. If you use sticky-keys, you have to type C x C f, and I find that my hand's over the Control key most of the time anyway.

    There's always Escape -> Meta. And putting the control key in the right place, too.

  17. Re:Finally on Experts Now Say JFK Bullet Analysis Was Wrong · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe it was liquid tinfoil.

  18. Re:Vim on Is DVORAK Gaining Traction Among Coders? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I happen to be typing English most of the time on a querty keyboard


    Dude, how the hell can you misspell "qwerty"? :p
  19. Re:I agree with the prosecution.... on Russian School Teacher 'Pirate' Case Re-Opened · · Score: 1

    Didn't you read the story? Go after the creators of Microsoft products, not the users (:

  20. Re:I see pattern on Cassini Probes the Hexagon On Saturn · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be 664, then?

  21. Re:But my computer is beige! on Linux Makes For Greener Computing · · Score: 1

    It's only SUSE that is the green Linux. Fedora is blue and Ubuntu is brown...

  22. Re:My sorta story on Video Racing Games May Spur Risky Driving · · Score: 1

    I remember having sex with foocubi then killing them and taking my gold back in NetHack. Does that count?

  23. Re:you know.... on Teacher Found Guilty of Endangering Kids Due to Spyware · · Score: 5, Insightful
    The kids weren't physically harmed.

    Does anyone know what the sentence would be if she actually attacked one of the kids? I'm guessing even that would be a lot less.
  24. Re:I've been using vi for so long... on The Birth of vi · · Score: 1
    Speaking of which, who decided that vi would use hjkl instead of jkl;?

    The letters "hjkl" are in that order more often than "jkl;" are - a German keyboard has "jklö" instead, for example. And you know that thing vi has about being consistent.
  25. Re:beta on Lost Gmail Emails and the Future of Web Apps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When something's in "beta" for over two years now, it becomes less of a product status and more of an excuse.
