  1. Re:oooh on Microsoft Signs Android Patent Deal With HTC · · Score: 1

    You are in a bit of self-contradiction. Don't tell me Linux has a better market share or it is 'better' than Apple. I mean, better in the view of the mainstream population. I also don't think Apple would run out of business if they don't have the newest MS Office. I'm sure Apple would just compile an OpenOffice version and bundle it with the Mac. So, they don't supply Apple with MS Office to keep Apple on a lifeline, but to keep their foot in the door.

    I tried to find what he said, but the Internet was not transparent enough for me!
    I hope he said, the Internet is still not transparent enough.

  3. Re:Poor jerk. on Terry Childs Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    He didn't judge who is skilled enough to know the password. (The mayor was not skilled enough).
    He did judge who is authorized to have it.

  4. Re:Write misleading headlines much.. on Backdoor Malware Targets Apple iPad · · Score: 0

    How is it true, when the malware doesn't ever touch iPad, and works without an iPad.

  5. Re:US left a corner reflector as well on Decades-Old Soviet Reflector Spotted On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Of course it was. But with postprocessing they took out most of the red.

    There is no 'scary' mod option.

  7. Re:Obstruction of justice on Seattle Hacker Catches Cops Who Hid Arrest Tapes · · Score: 1

    Do you have to prove yourself? Since you don't even talk to the officer, you simply walk away? How will they know you are a local?

    Yeah, who wouldn't like ... a MILF.

  9. Re:Is it me or is he sounding more desperate? on Roger Ebert On Why Video Games Can Never Be Art · · Score: 1

    So, when the audience is involved in a performance, it stops being art?

  10. Re:Oh shut up on Fate of Terry Childs Now In Jury's Hands · · Score: 1

    Actually, he was less in harmony with his bosses, than he did everything according to law (written policy).

  11. Re:Is it me or is he sounding more desperate? on Roger Ebert On Why Video Games Can Never Be Art · · Score: 1

    It is funny the guy said, games are for winning. Parent listed some games, where the 'end' of the game was not necessarily a 'win'.
    It was simply the end. Like in a film or book (with room for a sequel).

    Also, there are games like the Sims, which you don't play to win (though i don't consider those an art).
    So, we got games with end that could be considered art, and games with no end which are not art.

    Ebert should go back and think this over.

  12. Re:Many eyes = problem? on Source Code To Google Authentication System Stolen · · Score: 1

    Other than they missed open sourcing it?
    I don't really see how a big company like them could prevent source leaks.
    They surely got lots of employees that had right to look at the code.

  13. Re:The great FOSS army is too busy playing Warcraf on Open Community vs. Open Code · · Score: 1

    Linux leveled up meanwhile. OpenSolaris is noob, it needs to grind with an established party to gain some experience.

    Yeah, the highest bidder is surely a scientist.

  15. healthier??? on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, it isn't. It is just less harmful.
    If you don't know the difference, probably you say a gunshot wound is healthier than stepping on a landmine.

  16. Re:Doubt it will ever get made on Joss Whedon To Direct The Avengers · · Score: 1

    I don't think he is responsible for Firefly's failure. Whoever killed Firefly, should rot in hell or an equivalent place.
    Dollhouse isn't that great, i don't mourn it.

  17. Re:Like ghosts, this is getting harder and harder. on Professor Says UFO Studies Should Be Taught At Universities · · Score: 1

    A clear sight helps identification. UFO's are unidentified exactly because their image is unclear. See the picture?

  18. Re:Ok.. now if there were OSS engines of this qual on Crytek Plans Free Version of CryENGINE 3 · · Score: 1

    This is where indie developers could step in. Need a cheap engine? You can select from many.

    No, they are more likely the abused.

  20. Re:I've joined the beta .. on Heroes of Newerth Open Beta About To Start · · Score: 1

    What do you think when should unbalancedness be fixed?
    I hazard a guess, it is beta testing with a relatively large number of actual players.

  21. Re:Your rights OFFLINE! on 9 MA Cyberbullies Indicted For Causing Suicide · · Score: 3, Informative

    Statutory rape and physical harrassment (scrubbing pictures, throwing items, knocking items) are more than name calling.

  22. Re:You must have an different definition of freedo on Nexuiz Founder Licenses It For Non-GPL Use · · Score: 1

    The question here is not which license is better (more free). The question is, can you relicense other people's work or no.
    In Mozilla's case, the original authors renounced their copyrights, so it is fine.

  23. Re:BASIC is irrelevant on The Value of BASIC As a First Programming Language · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Depends on your age when you start learning. I was 12 when i first met "programming", it was a TI programmable calculator. It was fun to squeeze as much functionality as possible from less than 1K Basic. Then came C64, with its ~38K Basic. Its Basic was very weak, but i learned how to read disassembly when i read the code of various Basic extensions and read books that contained snippets on extending C64 basics. Eventually i made my own Basic extension, cracked games to create trainers, made an own turbo loader that had half of its code on the floppy drive. So, by the time i went to mid school, i programmed device drivers in machine code!
    I learned PL/I and other archaic languages in mid school, even punch cards! I learned C on my own and was taught in it only by the time i went to high school.

  24. Re:Processor damage, really? on NVIDIA Driver Update Causing Video Cards To Overheat In Games · · Score: 1

    The melting GPU burns the CPU. It could even damage the carpet!

  25. Re:Another... on Mariposa Botnet Beheaded · · Score: 4, Funny

    This was done much better than the previous one done by Microsoft. Catching the human masters and putting them in "federal pound me in the ass prison" is the right solution to this problem.
