    Saying you are a christian to me, is no different to saying you believe in the ancient greek gods, or believe in UFOs, or you believe in Santa Claus as an adult.

    THe funny thing is, 2008 is not that much different to 2005, so if you have done 2005, you have experience with 2008. Oh, it might take you an hour or two to learn of the new features.

    That is a logically consistent sentence, unless you think that >30% of programmers that exist in the world are here on slashdot commenting about how great they are. I think the pool of programmers is a bit larger than that.

    Ever have a phone before the new Nokias? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM NEVER GAVE YOU ROOT, on your own device as well. Ever own a SNES, NEW, Megadrive, etc...

  6. Re:2 Sequels of a bad film? on Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    The movie was bad, so bad it was a disgrace. The fact that you like it says more about your taste than anyone elses. I bet you like most movies now, good for you. That is a lucky way to be, one of my mates is like that, but I would never trust his opinion on a movie.

    The problem we have is that it could, so easily, have been a good movie, and kept all the other aspects that made it so popular. It doesn't have to be a bad story, that can easily be fixed (well, ok, not easily, considering that editing can destroy a lot of movies).

  8. Re:Wait... on Multi-Touch Tech Firm Seeks iPad Sales Injunction · · Score: 1

    That doesn't say who owns the patents, but this shows how stupid America pushing IP is... it's just going to bite us back bigtime when India/China compete on the high end.

    You have it the wrong way around. Why do you think the US is pushing patent policy ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Because it is all they have, they don't have the manufacturing capacity anymore, the don't have the numbers, all they have is the lead FOR NOW. So they get all the patents on stuff at the beginning, they can keep the money rolling in when these countries start to produce R&D results.

    The same reason they are pushing all IP, copyrights as well, with huge extensions.

    I am surprised this obvious tactic seems to elude so many people.

    Very funny, it is patents all the way down.

    But the fact is, to the surprise of all, THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MULTITOUCH PATENT. Amazing I know, how can there be more than one patent on any particular subject, but there is. (this is directed not at you, but at the moron you replied to).

    Really? You don't understand why companies change the rules to make more money? Do you not grasp the concept of capitalism, profits?

    If you start throwing people in holes, then you become bigger assholes than the people you are disposing off. Of course, the advantage is that the guy who throws you in the hole will be the a lesser asshole than you, so he can probably survive.

  14. Re:Meanwhile on Amazon Battles Apple By Arm-Twisting Publishers · · Score: 1

    You completely miss the point. The whole problem with Amazon/BN vs Apple, is that Amazon/BN make their money from books, whereas Apple will make their money from the hardware. Apple is not looking for much of a profit on books, just like it doesn't make much of a profit from Music or Apps. They are in the hardware game.

    No, nor are you the only person happy to just have a telephone at home, no use for a mobile. Nor are you the only person to just want a computer with a monochrome display, that also stays at home. Nor are you the only person who just wants to stay at home, no need for fancy air-o-planes.

    SO maybe you can shut the fuck up, and stay at home, while the rest of us enjoy the advancing world we live in.

  19. Re:Son you don't know what you sayin' on How Slums Can Save the Planet · · Score: 1

    Almost every single poster in this article has widely missed the point. The fact, people living in slums use a lot less resources than anbody else in the world. That is why it is green, not because they are painted green, or have lots of trees. As the world population expands, we have less resources to go around. THIS IS WHY WE CAN LEARN MORE. Nobody is saying we should all live like this, but is things don't change, We will. Go read 'make room, make room or soylent green.
