  1. Re:It's not what it would seem. on Alberta Scientists Discover Largest-Ever Cache of Dinosaur Bones · · Score: 1

    God made the world just like it is He made the fossils just to tease us Old bones to test our faith in Jesus Yeah, this'll all be on the quiz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIwiPsgRrOs Great guy, great guy. I especially like his "Ted Haggard Is Completely Heterosexual" song.

  2. Re:Great Timing on Qualcomm Ships Dual-Core Snapdragon Chipsets · · Score: 1

    In the latest issue of c't (german computer magazine) there was an article about android 2.2, where it also said that google was activating 100 000 phones per day worldwide. Apple has sold 50 million IPhones in under 3 years, so based on 17 million sold IPhones per year that would roughly mean 50 000 IPhones per day. So Android is outselling the IPhone by factor 2.

    http://i.imgur.com/cT08B.png Well, seems like Chrome is more compatible with HTML5 than Safari is, so why limit the demo to Safari only?

  4. Re:Already handled on The Open Source Design Conundrum · · Score: 1

    But when the so called innovation goes so far that you aren't able to use maybe a slightly different approach, it becomes annoying. For example I can't reconfigure the loud/quiet buttons on my IPod Touch to be used as next/last song, because Apple thought that anyone should be glad to be able to use their oh so inventive touch screen. Well, when my IPod is in my pocket I don't want to have to take it out every time just to change to the next song.

    Old answer: "When it's done."
    New answer: "No, we are done."

  6. Pandora on Last.fm To Start Charging International Users · · Score: 1

    This sounds exactly like what happened to Pandora in 2007 when it stopped working for users outside of the US because of licensing issues.

  7. Re:Put your game on Stardock central/Impulse on Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates · · Score: 1

    People complain when something is broken for them. Most of the time they don't bother leaving a positiv note. It's very common throughout most if not all of our social life.

  8. Re:Because they want it for free. on Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates · · Score: 1

    Demos tend to be not of the gold master but rather often are in a beta version. At least it was that way around the beginning of this millennia.

    Wait! How come when the earth is flat that it can also be hollow with Hitler and his alien flying saucers powered by vril energy are hiding inside? http://paranormal.about.com/od/hollowearth/a/aa022206.htm

    Don't take everything too serious. I should have added a smilie at the end. ;)

    You call that beer? You don't even have purity requirements. Hey, what's that corn doing in your beer?

    No. It get's checked from time to time and if you haven't sorted it right they won't take it. At least that's the way that it's handled here in germany. We seperate paper, plastics cans and polystyrene (everything with a green point, called "Der grüne Punkt" http://www.gruener-punkt.de/), organic waste, ash, glass (collected in cointainers often placed at supermarkets), hazardous waste (electronics), bulky waste (think of old couches, lockers and the like) and chemicals are also collected in a specific way. Also, supermarkets are required to collect batteries if they sell them and of course the paper and plastic the sell.

  13. Re:This won't have an effect in Belgium on IBM Granted "Paper-or-Plastic?" Patent · · Score: 1

    In german chain supermarkets (Aldi, Penny, Lidl, etc) they sell beer in plastic wrapping. They also use it to wrap bottels of mineral water (6*1,5l or 6*0,5l) and other drinks (cola-, fanta-, sprite-clones).

  14. Re:Coward. on Spam King and Family Dead In Murder-Suicide · · Score: 1

    There is that old german joke: A man dies and finds himself in hell. He is suprised by the fact that it isn't forever burning lava, but instead attractive women, gambling, joy and fun. Then the devil leads him to a room. Inside are people getting tortured and are screaming in pain. He asks the devil: "What is that?" The devil answers: "That are just the catholics. They like it that way."

  16. Re:Modified 3 strikes on How To Deal With Internet Bullies? · · Score: 1

    I'd go to a two strikes and out ruling. Once you have been warned once, another misbehaviour in the next 2-4 months will get you kicked. After three accounts have been kicked, you get banned.

    Well, Voyager traveled 70,000 lightyears in 7 years, so my guess would be ca. 7 days.

  20. Re:Their initial name: Fakebook on Facebook Sues German Company, Claims Ripoff · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, it does have a meaning. Gesichtsbuch or Buch der Gesichter (The first noun would be in the genitiv case) means book of faces, a book that contains faces of people. In german you can virtually create absurd long words simply by combining nouns. Example: Dampfschifffahrtskäpitänsvereinigungsgewerkschaft. Translation: Union of the coalition of captains of steam navigation. So Gesichtsbuch has a meaning in german.

  21. Re:Didn't you know? on Facebook Sues German Company, Claims Ripoff · · Score: 1

    Except that is wrong spelling. It's written with a F as first letter.

  22. Re:Their initial name: Fakebook on Facebook Sues German Company, Claims Ripoff · · Score: 3, Informative

    Facebook can not be translated into german as Studendenverzeichnis. It literally means Gesichtsbuch and as I understand it, it is a play on the english word yearbook. So it's a neologism and has nothing to do with the german word Studentenverzeichnis.
