  1. Re:So I forget on Linus Says Android License Claim Is 'Bogus' · · Score: 1

    Tuesday, it's praise today.

  2. Re:Patents are the issue, not copyrights on RMS On Header Files and Derivative Works · · Score: 1

    Were you trying to be incorrect on every level? The issue at hand is not Dalvik, the issue at had IS the native C API in Android. which you claim does not exist.

  3. Re:Richard Stallman on Who's Behind the Google-Linux License Ruckus? · · Score: 1

    If you repeat this thought enough times, people will start to believe it. Too bad it is a big lie, what Richard wants is for free to remain free, that is all.

    You and the parent post agree, you just fail to understand his point.

  4. What about tablets and touchscreen smart phones? on Advocacy Group For the Blind Slams Google Apps · · Score: 1

    From the title I was initially thinking of Android apps since that's more in the news, but that made me think how it's going to be almost impossible for the blind or partially sighted to move to current touch screen technology.

    Anyone know of any research in that field?

  5. Re:Facebook is not for people who seek anonymity on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, Facebook is trying to get involved in everything else, to the point that it can be hard to do anything interactive online without going through facebook. The number of news sites and blogs that try to get you to sign in through your Facebook account is ridiculous...

    Which, if you wish to be anonymous, is the last thing you should consider doing. If you wish to be anonymous don't sign up for Facebook, ever.

  6. Re:I'd be open to it, but good luck with everyone on Robert X Cringely Predicts More Mininuke Plants · · Score: 1

    Hey, I know it. But Joe Sixpack is gonna say "But look at their problems now, I don't want that here." Bla bla bla

    No, Joe Sixpack is not going to be that clear in his thinking or expression, he's going to paraphrase what his neighbor said about what he heard on CNN and Fox. Which will mostly come down to OMG, WTF?

  7. Re:Facebook is not for people who seek anonymity on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong · · Score: 1

    The default is anonymity, where and when exactly were you forced to sign up to Facebook?

  8. Re:Facebook is not for people who seek anonymity on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong · · Score: 1

    Given his role and experience I would have expected him to have significantly more savvy than he is showing. Facebook is the opposite of anonymity by design so he's showing me he is just a young pup with a big mouth.

    Perhaps what he meant is that Zuckerberg does not understand privacy, now that I'll buy.

  9. Facebook is not for people who seek anonymity on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong · · Score: 4, Informative

    How anybody could not understand that, particularly an internet veteran like moot is rather mind boggling.

  10. Re:Extremely deceptive article! The cause... on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 2

    The cause of this has been discovered already; it's a software bug. iOS 4.3 has a new JavaScript engine. Websites launched from the home screen seem to be reverting to and using the old JavaScript engine from iOS 4.2.

    And as a software professional that would have been my first guess, "Sounds like a bug to me"

    The article makes it sound like a conspiracy. I'm sure it'll be patched soon; I can think of no obvious reason to do this but give the same apps full speed if bookmarked within the web browser.

    It would appear that the anything iOS related brings out the tinfoil hat crowd. Time to up the meds guys.

  11. Re:Value? on NASA Buys 12 Seats On Soyuz · · Score: 1

    No, there's a fee per checked bag. Only carry-on satellites that can fit underneath the seat in front of you are allowed for safety reasons.

    Don't you just hate it when your flight is full of Russians and they stick their satellites under the seat in front of YOU?

  12. Re:Well, they WERE more accurate on Tsunami Warnings Now Faster, More Accurate · · Score: 4, Informative

    You know, there's a concept you may find interesting, that you really can't spend more than you can afford, no matter how much you want something...

    You might try explaining that to the defense department. How many NOAA or NASA programs could be funded just by cutting back defense spending by 10%?

    I too have a strange passion for filling in web forms with the most outrageous options available.

  21. Re:Like Rome? on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    I imagine most Americans at least think their country is a democratic republic.

    I was under the impression that most Americans think their country is a reality TV show and electing politicians was no different than voting on American Idol.

    Yup, just like how the "Democrats" ram legislation that goes against the will of the people? They're hardly democratic.

    Going against the will of the Republicans you mean? ... Silly rabbit.
