  1. Re:Pretty sure Moses did it first! on Holy iPad Slayer! Company Releases World's First Christian Tablet · · Score: 1

    Ex 3515 Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written.

    Version 2.0 pretty much sucked though...

    God withdrew official support for tablets version 1.0 at around that time even though people continue using them to this day. It's totally going bum out a lot of Christians when they die and try to claim under warranty.

    As a man who considers himself Christian, did you notice that God/Moses really messed up Stone Tablets 2.0 - check it out

    Note: The only place The Bible says "...the Ten Commandments" is in Exodus 34:28 so I'm guessing those are the real commandments. The ones the Christians keep quoting were just a red herring to keep well meaning people out of Heaven.

    Rich money whoring sellout A, or rich money whoring sellout B? Does anybody think a McSame presidency would have been any different from a Nobama? Or that Mittens will do ANYTHING differently, other than put a different spin on it?

    One of those things could add a lot more religion into the system. The other one isn't good but at least it has that going for it.

    PS: Please glance through conservapedia before dismissing this...

    However for a foreign mole to be able to insert back doors into the Windows source code - which I would add is fairly well vetted since most governments and educational institutions have read access to the source - would be quite remarkable to the point of being unbelievable.

    Yep. Anything that totally compromises the system would have been discovered by now. There's a lot of people interested in finding such things.

    The last sentence was literally one of the stupidest things I've ever read here.

    I agree.

    1) Precise is precise. It either is or it isn't. Saying "more precise" is like saying "more pregnant".

    2) "Amps" is dependent on voltage. If they replace anything it would be the Coulomb, not the Ampere.

  14. Re:License to Search? on Apple Forces Google To Degrade Android Features · · Score: 1

    At this stage it's obvious that Apple has a very long list of stupid patents for everything related to iPhone/iPad. They've probably got a whole department who's only function is to see what they can sneak past the patent examiners.

    Every time one of these patents gets struck down they'll just roll out another one and start with a fresh new round of court injunctions. They can probably keep it up for decades.

    The patent system is truly broken if it allows this sort of behaviour.

    Yep. One of the reasons there's not much research into new antibiotics is that it's not very profitable. Big pharma wants to make pills that people need to take every day for the rest of their life, not pills that people take for eight days once a year or so.

    It's only the controller? That's hardly newsworthy, NES controllers are easy to connect to anything with three spare I/O pins. I connected one to my Arduino/Gameduino last year.

    "Newsworthy" would have been a gadget that allowed you to connect NES cartridges to the Pi and play the games.

    Also, and I really hate to say this (very attached to my British spellings & grammar in general), but it's true and inevitable; langauge is a constantly evolving beast.

    Whenever anybody starts on this subject I always remind them that their 'correct' English would make their grandparents turn in their graves in horror.

    I went to to school in the UK but I've switched to American spelling as I grew older, it seems a bit more logical. "Colour" looks French to me these days.

    PS: The USA had spelling reform movements in the 19th century to clean things up. This is mostly where the differences between the two spellings comes from (and also why Mark Twain wrote several articles on the subject - it was happening when he was alive).

    If there's still that much demand for the old stuff then they can prolong the copyright.

    The idea is for stuff which the publisher thinks isn't worth reprinting to fall into the public domain.

    Realistically, that's such a tiny percentage of cases that's it's not worth breaking the entire system for. If it's really that important to you to stop distributing something that you were once freely distributing for profit then you can pay to prolong the copyright.

    I simply have a problem with concluding things quickly.

    Human auditing systems are not that fast. So if you decide this fast it wasn't audited.

    I want it audited before I give it credence.

    Maybe the machine was designed to give a very clear yes/no answer so the "auditing" process you're looking for happened before they even switched it on.

    No, I said such things are possible.

    You seem to be comparing the scientists at CERN with the guys who build perpetual motion machines in their garage (in between converting cars to run on water and lighting up light bulbs with spinning magnets).

    These are the brightest minds in the world. They work out in the open and they're being closely observed and criticized by thousands of other bright minds since the 1980s (when the machine was first discussed).

    You claim to be some sort of judge of human character. I can promise you you're not. You're just Yet Another Armchair Conspiracy Theorist.
