    What part of the site needs a tablet?

  2. Re:Planck trumps Moore on How Vacuum Tubes, New Technology Might Save Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    They are actual physical concepts, unlike fractals which are mathematical?

  3. Re:Planck trumps Moore on How Vacuum Tubes, New Technology Might Save Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    Too bad there is no such thing. Fractals are mathematical objects, not things that exist in reality except as approximations.

  4. Re:Why emoji? on Unicode 7.0 Released, Supporting 23 New Scripts · · Score: 1

    Round-trip compatibility with other encodings that already have them.

  5. Re:less useful how? Re:The larger, the less useful on Unicode 7.0 Released, Supporting 23 New Scripts · · Score: 1

    That sucks, but it does not seem to be an example of what was asked for.

  6. Re:Is it like most OSX software? on Docker 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, OS X sandboxing fixes pretty much all of that.

  7. Re:"comics geek" on Recommendations For Classic Superhero Comic Collections? · · Score: 1

    Very helpful linking, there. The words "new trend" appear once, entirely unexplained.

  8. Re:Madoff on Man Who Issued Securities For Bitcoins Settles With SEC · · Score: 2

    Similarly, because murders still happen, we don't need the police.

    "I'm wrong, but I could be right in the future!"

  10. Re:TI's SoCs are thoroughly documented on OpenPandora Design Files Released · · Score: 1

    From reading the OMAP4 technical manual, I don't recall the C64x core being documented in there. I don't think that has changed much with the OMAP5. That was what the previous poster was asking for.

  12. Re:Paltry on Bug In DOS-Based Voting Machines Disrupts Belgian Election · · Score: 1

    demonstrably provable software.

    No such thing exists, or can exist.

  13. Re:If you support human rights abuses ... on The Fight To Uncover Spyware Exports To Repressive Regimes · · Score: 1

    Did I say anyone was excused?

    No.

    I said you were a piece of shit for saying people should be tortured. We're trying to be better than those we condemn. Don't fuck that up.

  14. Re:If you support human rights abuses ... on The Fight To Uncover Spyware Exports To Repressive Regimes · · Score: 1

    You're also saying that two wrongs make a right, which is where you go off the rails and destroy your argument.

    And the #1 reason to not stick with USB? Murphy will all but guarantee you'll try and plug it in wrong the first time, every time. Fucking connector..

    Not just the first time, the second time, too. It's only on the third try it will fit.

  16. Re:Meanwhile OpenGL ES Is Doing Great on The Truth About OpenGL Driver Quality · · Score: 1

    Well. I wouldn't be so sure about calling that a success. OpenGL ES drivers are know to be even buggier and more terrible than the desktop OpenGL drivers.

    Just like you didn't ruin your marriage, the guy who told your wife about your affair did!

    I'm sorry, you seem to be having quite a good argument with the me who lives inside your mind, I'll leave you two to that and not interfere, shall I?

  19. Re:China on Glenn Greenwald: How the NSA Tampers With US Made Internet Routers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Let's see. We have proof of the US doing this. We don't have proof of China doing it.

    Conclusion: Accuse China!

    This makes perfect sense.

  20. Re:First on Glenn Greenwald: How the NSA Tampers With US Made Internet Routers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You can't really trust the firmware upgrader to actually write your code there unmodified, either. Or that your code is the only code that runs on the system.

  21. Re:Timeline on What Was the Greatest Age For Indie Games? · · Score: 1

    And the article is dead wrong there. There was plenty of very independent development on the Amiga and Atari ST, for instance, long before PCs finally got graphics hardware that didn't suck terribly.

  22. Re:Timeline on What Was the Greatest Age For Indie Games? · · Score: 1

    Not at all. PCs were just not capable of displaying properly animated games until quite a while after they were launched. They were far behind the capabilities of other home computers at the time for anything but business uses.

  23. Re:Timeline on What Was the Greatest Age For Indie Games? · · Score: 2

    And when did people actually start playing real games on the PC?

    In between, you had all kinds of home computers. Commodores, Ataris, Spectrums, a million things besides. That is where most of the action always was. The PC was very later to this party.

  24. Timeline on What Was the Greatest Age For Indie Games? · · Score: 1

    Apparently in this timeline, the world went from the Apple II to PCs, with nothing in between.

  25. Re:Any slap on the wrist for the CIA? on Polio Causes Global Health Emergency · · Score: 1

    Well, yes, that is why the CIA should have known to NOT FUCKING DO THAT.

    But no. Let's give the crazies solid proof of what used to be conspiracy theories.
