    That anti-gravity thing in brazil is sketchy as shit.

    I don't think they adapted. The ones that didn't survive didn't have the capability.


    That is an interesting thought. Survival of the most capable. You should make a theory out of that.

    Holy crap, run-on sentence!

    You worry too much. Unless you are doing something real damn special, you don't need to call WINAPI code alot, and alot of the unmanaged libraries are being/have been replaced with managed versions. Not saying it will be free of bugs, and completely secure, nothing is, but it will have fewer bugs, and fewer holes.

    The reason this went unfound for so long? No one cares about Seigenthaler. Even if he was a Nazi.

  7. Re:Obsolete model? on No WINE Before Its Time · · Score: 1

    WINE will become obselete, as it becomes possible for computer to intelligently port code. And make no mistake -- when that day comes, it would be easier to go from binary to binary rather than from source to source. I can easily imagine factoring the human element out of this process, which it would then be possible to follow new MS releases almost step by step.

    I've actually never had emerge fuck up on me. The worst problem I've ever had was setting flags, and that takes two minutes to learn.

    It really doesn't.

    It means that developer's are going to have to find a way to leverage that interface for the games they are making. Simple as that. Do you think a company that spends many millions of dollars on a game will not find a way to open their game up to an entire other market?

    When you shoot from the hip, it's kinda hard to aim isn't it?

    Stop being so damn ignorant. A sexual offender, is by definition, someone who does something sexual to a child. I mean, as long as we are still arguing in reality.

    No one's likely to care because your scum. Making someone use windows isn't cruel or unusual.

    We show too much kindness to rapist and child molesters. Did you know that a person who molests a child still has parental rights so long as it was their child they molested? The victims of these kinds of crimes are punished indefinitely, I don't see why the stigma against the offenders should be any less

    Some features of java that should compile wouldn't. Generics are a good example. If this was relevant to you, you would know that. Since you don't, I'm thinking you are just complaining to complain.

    Sure, they are being friendly, but it is most likely done to protect their image.

  15. This seems silly on The Flight of the Solar Sail · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Honestly the idea that because it doesn't carry fuel makes it easy to 'travel to the stars' is kinda stupid. For one thing, almost by definition you can't travel towards a star on this thing because as you approach it, it will start to slow down, and eventually stop.

    The idea of using the suns energy is good, but maybe they should find a way to harness that energy so one could move the direction one pleases.

  16. Re:How to tell if you are a linux fanatic. on Bacterial Printing Press · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

    The radical group you are trying to piss off happens to have the same idiotic arguments as you, but is on the other side of the spectrum. And both groups are morons.

    I'm tired of this trendy shit in \. where at the drop of a fucking hat people start categorizing people as either a Linux Zealot or a M$ Luvers. Technology is not meant to be worshiped, it is meant to be used to accomplish a goal, and you should use whatever best fits that goal, windows, linux or a fucking ti83. It's a minority that occupies these radical areas, albeit a vocal one. And I would like to say to both groups:

    SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  22. Re:Semantic Web? on Using the Semantic Web to Enhance Search · · Score: 1

    Alright, so let us check out a sample from OWL (Web Ontology Language):

    Wine Rdf

    Look through that RDF with emacs/notepad. You will probably not understand all of it, but you can get the gist of it. It attempts to classify things categorically almost, so finding out context for a word is simple. For instance, the owl:Class of "Wine" is a subClass of "PotableLiquid" with a couple restrictions and properties that wine could have in real life.

    Why is this useful? It dramatically increases the level at which computers can understand information. In theory, if you tell a computer with this RDF file, "This here is red wine", it will know by inference that the object is a wine that you drink, not that annoying people do, and it will be able to guess at other properites ( such as maker, year made, etc ).

    I am intrested in AI and this applies to my job, so this is fantastic news to me.

    So much paranoia!

    It's an act of good-will obfuscated by legality. They reserve the right, but the spirit of the thing means they probably won't use that clause too much. It is a step in the right direction, and a very bold step at that.

    Are we really going to be given an inch and demand a mile?
