  1. Re:Only a small part looked simulated on Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Were (Partly) Faked · · Score: 1

    from the article I gathered it WAS happening, but the part on film wasn't because the chinese didn't want to blow up a helicopter with pure awesome. (i really liked the fireworks)

  2. Re:Um, Earth to China... on China to Build a Zero-Carbon Green City · · Score: 1

    I suspect this new city has something to do with the thousands of displaced people after the sichuan earthquake destroyed their homes. I'm sure if this city turns out to be a success many other cities will be modified to an extent. How the hell can you turn an existing city zero emission? You can't even improve those much... All you can do is add more public transit, and China has tons of that. It's not like you can snap your fingers and it suddenly turns green. Cities have to be built with the idea that people would not be using cars to get to work, get food, etc. That's not how most cities were made before now. China has the money and will to build a new city for refugees and actually make it somewhat cool. How is your idea greener?

  3. Re:Bald face liars. on China Says It Lacks Skills To Hack US Systems · · Score: 1

    Oh geez, they are obviously having fun forcing americans to acknowledge their mad hax0r skillz. They are responding to this issue with childishness, because they just don't care

  4. Re:More hardware = More infrastructure on Thailand Government Cancels OLPC Participation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree, but right now he seems to be focused on saving money instead of redirecting learning curriculum. I doubt he would bother to train better teachers.

  5. I can code... on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 1

    I'm 15. I know C++, Python, and a enough of Java to convert a small program to C++. >.>

    I haven't alot to do with it, though. Just game modding, making small useful-only-to-me utilities, and... yeah. Not much to do these days. Everything else is already done.

    It's informative because nobody understands you.

  7. Re:Back to (Tiananmen) Square One? on Chinese Ban on Wikipedia Prevents Research · · Score: 1

    Another note... You can't just say the Chinese aren't happy. You don't know. Shut up.
    Just because you have no happiness, doesn't mean that others don't. I guess all the others are all stupid and gullible, then?

  8. Re:Back to (Tiananmen) Square One? on Chinese Ban on Wikipedia Prevents Research · · Score: 1

    I'm chinese... It's not that bad, really. Even though I live in Canada, I've been back several times, and I know people who live in China. They don't mind that much, as it doesn't really affect them that much. If you said you would kill Bush in America in a loud, provoking manner, without trace of humor, you would probably get a 'friendly' visit too.

  9. Re:Don't beleive anything from the Liberals on Canada Moves to Keep Skilled Workers · · Score: 1

    *claps* Well, we _do_ need to complain about something, or we wouldn't be a true democracy.

    We don't have paved roads. We also suffer from periodic cannibal tribe attacks.

    Come to Vancouver. We have almost no snow in the city, but tons on the mountain. Also, lots of sun if you like skin cancer.

  13. Communist China? on How World of Warcraft Operates In China · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Is there really any need to remind us all that china is supposingly "communist"? We all know it's not.

    Really? Where do the young and hip go? Home?

  15. :( Yet another reason to be Japanese. on Tokyo's Swanky New 360 Lounge Open · · Score: 1

    This just screams, "Go die, Westerners!" I wonder if the Koreans can match this?

    Fine, I'm 15 and I use linux. I don't mind gaim's interface. However, I know _alot_ of people who will hate it, but luckily, they don't use anything but windows!

  17. Practical Application on What Makes an OSS Class Work? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could force them all to contribute to a big-ish GPLed Project? That would teach them how it actually works, not just the theory and the legal stuff.

  18. Eh on HP to Install Netscape on all new PCs · · Score: 0, Troll

    At least they give an alternate choice to IE, though I doubt people would choose netscape. It has a really bad reputation with the common folk.

  19. Re:"English" spelling on Google Losing Ground in China? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Proud of country != Proud of country's government.

    They are proud of each other, their accomplishments, and etc, and it is not dampened by their form of government.

    Yes, I'm chinese, but I'm Canadian, so I'm not exactly propaganda-filled.

  20. Re:"English" spelling on Google Losing Ground in China? · · Score: 1, Informative

    It's a sort of anti-american patriotism. As everybody can see, not many people like America as much as we used to. The Chinese have been one country for a long time; they have something to be proud of. All the other empires have gone bad. It's almost as if they (we, I guess) are clinging to add to counter the bad reputation they seem to get. Anyway, I think Americans would use mienfei.com soon after they realize the meaning of the word. I mean, who doesn't like free stuff? If "Google" meant free in english, I bet with good marketing, it would be very popular in China too.

    Ni zhao dong xi? Zhi yao chu Baidu! You can't find it? Just go to Baidu! Not a direct translation of yours, and it might be off(I speak cantonese, I don't know pin yin that well.).

  22. This is in CANADA, not the US on Public Transit Reality Game · · Score: 0

    I see alot of people going, "You'll go in jail! OMFG!!!1", but they neglect to notice that this will take place in Canada. And that makes everything all right, because Canada doesn't have the resources to randomly bust people for looking shifty and being Arabic.

  23. Re:Wow on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: 0

    This guy talks about the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field, and how he considered Jobs is doing just to see if he could screw with people. Obviously, this guy thinks he has a working reality distortion field of his own, and he's doing this just to screw with people.

    But a Microsoft spokeswoman told eWeek that it was "highly unlikely" that Longhorn will be released after the consent decree expires in November 2007. "Any and all relevant APIs will be disclosed as documented on release of the product," she added.

    Well, Microsoft is pretty good at doing the impossible.
