    And yet those ipod/mac mini spammers still think they can get people to sign up by offering them gmail invites.

    I think GP meant Burma, not Bhutan, which IIRC still uses imperial measure. It's also a military dictatorship although I'm not sure what their television penetration levels are.

    That data from the CIA book is out of date.

    Funny that the data on the site you linked to only goes up to 1990. (Actually up to 1992, but the data on the graph is a five year moving average so the graph goes up to 1.14 in 1990).

    Anjuta does this, IIRC. I've never used it for C++, but it certainly helps autocomplete members of C structs. I stopped using it because I found the package-management stuff a bit annoying, but it's quite a good program overall.

    Thats's the official reason. But if xfree86 had been a healthy and active project, I doubt we would have seen the fork. After all, their new license is still "Free" according to the FSF.

  11. Re:Let's see... about 6 weeks ago? on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1, Informative

    The US offered $15 million (and Bush didn't even pretend to care), a UN official, rightly IMHO, called the US on it. The US promptly upped it to 30 million trying for damage control

    In fact, it was my understanding that the $30 million was intended as a loan, not a gift.

    I am not normally one for nationalist sentiment, but Australia, a country of 20 million people and a GDP of less than 1/15th that of the U.S, donated $1 billion Australian dollars to tsunami relief in Indonesia. Thats about $US770 million, or more than twice the U.S. government's donation. Maybe that should help explain why many people were less than thrilled with GWB's response.

  12. Re:TMBG on Strange Mini Solar System Found · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And your point is?
    The meaning (in english) of it’s is the same as the meaning of it's. They are both contractions, they both mean "it is" and they are both incorrect in the original post.

    Here's what I think happened. You were using some broken browser which doesn't correctly display extended ASCII. You made a bunch of stupid comments because you didn't see the "it's" (or "it's" if you prefer) and now you're trying to cover for yourself by pretending to be clever. Well done.

    But you're still wrong. The original poster was incorrect and the AC who corrected him was right. Live with it.

  13. Re:TMBG on Strange Mini Solar System Found · · Score: 0, Troll

    You are making very little sense. Let's go back to the beginning:

    You said "I admit I can't find any "it's" in the post above", referring to this post. In my reply, I pointed out three (incorrect) occurences of the word "it's". I pointed them out because you said "I can't find any". Because you could not find any occurences of the word "it's", I quoted them for you. The quotes were intended to help you find the occurences of the contraction "it's" since you were unable to find them previously. Does it make sense yet?

    I have returned to the original post and I still see three incorrect occurences of the word "it's" (and one correct one), so I am having great difficulty understanding what you are going on about.

  14. Re:TMBG on Strange Mini Solar System Found · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    OK, I'll explain this slowly. This post used apostrophes in inappropriate places. An AC responded, complaining about the extra apostrophes. At which point you jumped in to "correct" the grammer of the AC.

    You seemed not to realise that the AC had correctly pointed out errors in his parent. You then claimed that you couldn't find the errors in the original post. So I thought I would help you out by pointing out the lines in which the original post erred.

    So I quoted the incorrect lines from the original post. That's all.

    Windows XP does not have a microkernel. Windows NT had a microkernel until version 4, when Microsoft decided that the performance penalty of a microkernel was too high, so they chucked all the driver stuff back into kernel space.

  19. Re:Quite so. on Car RFID Security System Cracked · · Score: 4, Informative

    No. They need the RFID chip in addition to the physical key. So they would have to wander through the restaurant, crack the crypto key, fabricate their own and work out which car it belongs to before they could try to steal the car normally. It's just an extra layer of security on top of the normal ignition key.

    a EULA for hardware? I've never seen one of those before. All the hardware I've seen is intended to be purchased, not licensed.

    Also, EULAs are for End Users. Maybe Apple has some methods at its disposal to prevent third parties from writing alternative OS's, but those methods have nothing to do with any EULAs.

    Back in the day, we tried one of those AOL free month disks (I was young, OK? I didn't know better). After about 30 minutes of waiting for something to actually show up on the bloody screen (14.4 kbps modem), my mum wrote AOL an annoyed letter telling them that using their service was about as interesting as observing defecating earthworms. They cancelled our account fairly promptly (they also sent us an ad assuring us that AOL 4.0 had just been released and was an amazing new faster service, but by that time, we had learned our lesson).
