  1. once again linux (the best) isnt even mentioned ;) on A Mac Fan's Take On Vista · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Compiz/Beryl on LINUX blow both mac and vista away theres just no comparison
    http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2915/linux_xglco mpiz_graphics

    and this is old
    also im not sure if it shows off some of the best features like being able to 'shrink' all windows down so they all fit on the screen at once so you can easily see/pick between them, or you can select between windows of only a certain type

    also the alt-tab shows a preview of what that window looks like before you switch to it which is great

    the 3D 'cube' for desktops is much cooler than anything the other two have going (desktop switch wise i mean)

    only one guy mentions it on the whole thread (and called it Xgl, which isnt even needed anymore)

  2. texas is HOT on Study Finds World Warmth Edging to Ancient Levels · · Score: 1

    i coulda sworn when i was a kid there was occasionally a cool day, even in the summer

    now its so damn hot all the time ;) its the end of september and 100 degrees outside in the shade, yesterday i came home and a neighbor cat was passed out panting in my driveway! (had to park my hummer in the street!, which took up half the road..)

    lets blow millions of metric tons of poisonous toxic sunblocking chemicals that stay in the biosphere for decades cause cancer and kill animals beacuse we are to lazy stupid or greedy to stop damaging the world in other ways..

  8. Re:Please, for the love of God... on Concern Over Creating Black Holes · · Score: 1

    according to his explaination any differences between what he said would happen, and reality could be because we are now on a different worldline ;)
    like another dimension

    the things i think are stupid about his story is he claimed that every jump had a 50% chance of destroying you ;) so why would you make 2 extra jumps for fun? thats like .. retarded

    also even if he was successful theres no way to know if he would be jumping back to a worldline that even needed the computer, theres no way to get back to the worldline you left from.. therefore.. its retarded ;)

    its like sliders ;)

  9. interesting on MS06-049 Causing Silent Data Corruption · · Score: 5, Insightful

    its interesting how when they make a patch that corrupts your data you dont hear anything from them.. but when someone makes a program to allow fair use by opening DRM on their movies they come up with a CRITICAL patch within ours to prevent it. i think that speaks to their priorities, protecting their drm IMPORTANT protecting your data hmm.. not so important

  10. Re:Common sense on U.S. Arrests Online Gambling Company Chairman · · Score: 2, Informative

    your all missing the point
    online gambling isnt illegal! (except in washington)

    another interesting thing is american companies do illegal things in america EVERY DAY and their CEOs are almost NEVER arrested, instead the companies are fined/penalized or get away with it.. yet this guy is held personally responsible for something that MAY be illegal in the FUTURE... WTF??

    whos racketeering here? the government is arresting these guys cause they dont pay protection (american taxes, cause they arent american companies!)

  15. Re:Bush on US Government Restricting Research Libraries · · Score: 1

    well if we ever get a president in office who cares about the public's opinion it will be EASY for him to get a high approval rating--just undo everything bush has done

    it might be hard to get another president into office that actually cares about public opinion now though.. especially since the elections are rigged and actually getting popular votes isnt nessisary anymore

  18. mysterious ways on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    ive heard the expression "the lord works in mysterious ways" TONS of times from religious types

    its something you tell yourself when you dont understand why bad things happen.. so.. they dont understand those mysterious things but its assumed that we know EXACTLY how other mysterious things happened? how presumptuous of man to think they he understands the lord mysterious ways

  24. Re:i dissed them for lousy linux support on news.c on The Future of Flash · · Score: 1

    your damn right authoring in .net is shortsighted ;)
    lately ive been developing with Qt, which is crossplatform. it works great on windows and linux and whatever else you might want to try it on (we release 32 and 64 bit versions of our product on windows, linux, solaris and irix, all from one codebase)

    also if your going to do .net type of stuff why not use java? java is very similar to c# and is also cross platform

    if your in love with flash you should at least be aware that if you are using higher than version 7 your cutting out potential visitors/customers

    i used to program directly in win32 api, and in MFC, and have done COM/OLE/ActiveX, all of these old technologies dont really have much of a place in todays IT world, (winAPI is too low level, MFC is old, and .NET is all the rage now) but just like all of those techs .net is sure to fade into obscurity and non-use as soon as MS comes out with the 'next big thing' and hypes it at the expense of everything else, then developers are expected to run out and learn this new shit, get recertified, pay more money for all of this crap..

    instead of getting into .net i got into Qt, GTK+, OpenGL and SDL, which are all crossplatform opensource(or at least openly documented) platforms that have been around for some time, and will likely continue to be around for quite a while longer

    meanwhile on the webdev front there is alot going on with ajax and vector based stuff which im not really an expert on, but im guessing if flash doesnt take up the slack, other alternatives will

  25. Re:i dissed them for lousy linux support on news.c on The Future of Flash · · Score: 1

    the other OSes are gaining in popularity, and quickly

    you cant ignore a growing segment of the userbase for an entire industry just because your too lazy to support other platforms

    especially when you consider your application its own platform!
    thats just bad business

    thats them making YOUR decision for you, they decided you would have to use windows, they decided your website visitors would have to use windows

    i dont want anyone deciding for me what me and my customers have to run, which is THE REASON im using linux in the first place

    i dont want to upgrade my computer according to someone elses corporate agenda (which is why i dont use windows)
    i dont want to have to develop on a specific platform according to someone elses agenda, or because of someone elses laziness (which is why i wont develop in flash anymore, and have never touched VB, and have mostly avoided .net)
    i dont want to run a virus scanner, an adware scanner, a spyware scanner and a software firewall either to use my computer either..

    windows sucks, it is losing popularity at a growing rate and will continue you to do so, the only thing keeping windows in the lime light is the fact that so many lazy 3rd party vendors just dont want to be bothered to support more than 1 platform and the companies strategies.
