  1. Re:LINUX rounds numbers fine on Microsoft Losing Big To Apple On Campus · · Score: 1

    My 8-year old T23 would like a word with you about that...

  2. It's not forgetting, it's replacing on The End of Forgetting · · Score: 1

    The reason humans forget things is because we are constantly learning new things. If older information is constantly reused, it is considered 'important' and we keep it around. Anything that doesn't matter gets pushed aside to make way for new things. Most of the time, we'll consider those things forgotten, yet we sometimes find that, under the right circumstances, remembering these is still possible. The internet works essentially the same way. If the only mention of you on the web is that time you got arrested for vandalism in high school, you can fix that the same way you'd fix a relationship with a high school classmate who only remembered that fact. Show them that you've changed by creating new content that paints you in a more positive light. Maintaining your public image is an important skill, and for certain positions, it even makes sense for employers to screen for it.

  3. Re:It's about being truthful on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's cheaper to install Linux on a Windows system than to install Windows on a Linux system.

  4. reminds me of the SO question... on Internet Access While Sailing? (Revisited) · · Score: 1

    Do you also have a cat named Ender?

  5. Re:Seriously? on Sound As the New Illegal Narcotic? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Those who don't quit also have a 100% mortailty rate. You really can't win when it comes to drugs.

  6. Not everything you say is a lie on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 1

    But that was.

  7. Re:Their banks don't cheat? on Chinese Company Seeks US Workers With 125 IQ · · Score: 1

    Actually, they did have their own banking crisis several years before the US did, and they dealt with it quickly and efficiently (a lot easier with a more powerful central government). When the American banks were having troubles, a lot of people were talking about how the ideas the Chinese used (bad banks, etc) could be applied.

  8. Re:Three words.... on Chase Bank May Drop Support of Chrome, Opera · · Score: 1

    Well, Opera has that function built in.

  9. Re:clamav on Stand-Alone Antivirus Software? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Other programs will catch 98-99%. Clamwin is lucky to catch 30.

  10. Re:Fragile? on California Wants To Put E-Ads On License Plates · · Score: 1

    Good thing this is rear plate only.

  11. Re:Chrome, you're losing me! on Google Builds a Native PDF Reader Into Chrome · · Score: 1

    It's not "I like browsers that don't have features," it's "I like browsers that don't have extra features," where 'extra' means anything I don't need. We'd love for developers to read our minds and make their software with everything we want and nothing we don't, but failing that, it'd be nice to have some degree of customizability. It's part of why firefox is so popular.

  12. Re:Sometimes I just want to watch a bad movie. on Uwe Boll, Other Filmmakers Sue Thousands of Movie Pirates · · Score: 1

    You are crazy. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter was excellent.

  13. Re:Thanks Google on Google Researcher Issues How-To On Attacking XP · · Score: 1

    Hence his qualification "as large and as varied as Microsoft's."

  14. no different from other metaphors on Is Cyberwarfare Fiction? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is warfare in the same sense that computers think or ships swim. In other words, it really isn't, but it's a convenient metaphor to use because the truth is too complicated for the average person.

  15. Re:Counting people? Round up! on At Issue In a Massachusetts Town, the Value of Two-Thirds · · Score: 1

    Your system would simply reduce to the current one in any practical situation. If, internally, I am 60% for a measure and 40% against it, presumably I would rather see it pass than not pass. Therefore I would vote 100% yes.

  16. Re:This tactic is being used against adults also. on Using Classical Music As a Form of Social Control · · Score: 1

    Charles Babbage, is that you?

  17. Re:Good on IE And Mozz Collaborate On RSS Icon · · Score: 1

    Opera uses that icon too. It works fine.

  18. Re:Google is probably adhering to ISO 3166 on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    Saying that leads to the same problem that you have when you try to ask for equal time for creationism in science class because it's "disputed." Being neutral or PC should not take precedence over being correct.

  19. Re:Sandia National Labs on Summer Internships - The Good, and the Bad? · · Score: 1

    I'm in a programming role at Lawrence Berkeley Lab not too far away, and the environment is very similar.

  20. Re:Good idea, really? on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    control+comma, c will give you a cedilla. control+apostrophe, control+backquote, and control+shift+6 give you aigu, grave, and circonflex, respectively.

  21. Re:Ethics on Many Scientists Admit Unethical Practices · · Score: 1

    I think you mean Jubal Harshaw

  22. Re:Dune was much more deeper than SW on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1

    Paul is not the Kwisatz Haderach. His son Leto is the one that sets humanity on the golden path, etc. Paul is, as he says, something unexpected.

  23. Re:FUD Alert!!! on Google Might Disappear in Five Years · · Score: 1

    Google news still says beta quite clearly. And how much money has google made off of those?

  24. Re:Chinese Citizens: What Your Government Is Hidin on Google Steps Up Fight for the China Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Chinese government is a group of engineers doing what they believe to be best for their country. They've had a lot of successes, too. Just because you disagree with some of their policies doesn't make them malicious or evil. True that their record on some things such as human rights is still poor, but it is certainly considerably better than it was under the Japanese occupation, the Nationalists, the various warlords before that, or the Qing dynasty. They've come a long way from bound feet, forced hairstyles, and arbitrary summary exections. They can't get pornography on the internet as freely as you can? I'm sure there are worse things in life. (At least Chinese will still have jobs in 10 years....)

  25. Re:Logographic language filtering on Study Shows China Tightens Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    It is still possible to do similar things in Chinese. Heck, they could even put the text in the form of image files or audio files if they REALLY wanted to.
