  1. Re:Eventually, you have so many mutually on Microsoft Frowned at for Smiley Patent · · Score: 1

    ... or move to a country without software patents, and where the laws are written by politicians that (mostly) listen to the people.

  2. Re:A.D.2 ? on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    At that age, probably a lollipop

  3. Re:Does it matter? on Googling May Break Copyright in Canada · · Score: 1

    No, it's the other way around. If you DO want someone to copy your material you GIVE them permission. That's the number one rule in copyright laws. I have thought for a long time it was strange that nobody sued Google yet...

  4. Re:lemme get this straight... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's got pretty creative translations. In Swedish it's called "Den här datorn" ("This computer"). I guess they'll drop "Den här" and just leave "datorn", which actually means "the computer" :)

    Try KeyTweak

  6. Re:Copyright? on BSA Reacts to 'New' BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Funny
    Then they should just connect to a tracker and see what pieces other hosts have made available, and record their ip's...
    Oh, you've missunderood it; the other hosts are only QUOTING the original material ;)
  7. Re:Growing Trend? on Software Piracy Will Get Worse · · Score: 1

    ...and which one do most people choose?

  8. Re:case in point on Google Might Disappear in Five Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes, they have missed the boat many times. It's just that Microsoft has it's own boat, which seems to be pretty big, so they'll eventually catch up and ram the others.

  9. Re:Just one question... on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 1

    The puppy were introduced in the big flop MS Bob. It's actually pretty nice :) (no, not Bob - the puppy of course!)

  10. Re:Not going to quit mine on OSS Projects Offer Bounties For Features · · Score: 1
    Yeah I would definitely throw into the "kitty" for a feature
    CrossOver Office are trying that approach. If you want a certain application to work, you can pay for that feature. http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/toplists

    Lack of the ability to learn social skills: Check
    I have Asperger's myself and the problem isn't learning the social skills. People with Asperger's are often very good learners. The problem is that noone teaches us the skills. We don't have them from the beginning like others, but have to learn them.
    So where are my nerd curing pills?
    I think it's terrible that some doctors recommend pills for people with Asperger's. It's much better to learn how to live without pills. My parents have always kept me away from unnecessary pills (they had a nice dispute with the ones who gave me the diagnosis :) )
  12. Hpw to write unmaintainable code... on Comments are More Important than Code · · Score: 1

    There's a fantastic essay describing how to write unmaintainable code. Here's the chapter about comments/documentation: http://mindprod.com/unmaindocumentation.html

  13. Re:Undergrad is usually a waste of teaching resour on Computer Program Makes Essay Grading Easier · · Score: 1

    It does that too, actually. I checked the program webbsite and found out it can check for some sorts of parroting.

    We have a system like that in school too. We have to e-mail some reports to a special mail address which checks for parroting and the like.

  14. Re:Cost goes UP! on Modified Prius gets up to 180 Miles Per Gallon · · Score: 1

    In Sweden we pay about $5.30/gallon. And the elecricity costs about $0.04/kWh.

    PLEASE remember the Internet is for everyone, not just the US.

  15. Re:One hack I want on Firefox Hacks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's actually a security feature due to the fact that it was widely used by scammers to write URLs such as
    http://www.google.com\@scammersite.com
    resulting in a redirect to the scammer's site.

  16. But... on Microsoft Research Showcase Explored · · Score: 0, Troll
