  1. Re:firefox is getting old on Microsoft Previews IE9 — HTML5, SVG, Fast JS · · Score: 1

    Oh for fuck sake, if you want to link to statistics, use the NetApp statistics, stop using the bullshit W3Schools statistics (which have a giant disclaimer saying that their statistics are in no way realistic or reliable). NetApp's actually says the Firefox share is 5 times as many as Chrome, but that's not the point.

  2. Re:Firefox not playing h264 is a political decisio on Microsoft Previews IE9 — HTML5, SVG, Fast JS · · Score: 1

    Iceweasel isn't a fork. Iceweasel exists only because distributing Firefox with Debian requires a couple of modifications to it (apparently) and Mozilla will not allow them to use the "Firefox" registered trademark for an even minimally modified copy. So they have to remove "Firefox" from everywhere it is. Not a fork by any means.

    Google's not a charity - they aren't about "free and open", they're about control. Like all the rest.

    I bet somewhere down in this story, someone uses this as justification for pirating the game.

    Found it.

    Oh, okay. I scratched my DVD, can I have a new one for the cost of the media?

    If it's (amusingly) a Microsoft game, yes.

    ActivisionBlizzard. Yup, sounds like the same company...

  7. Re:Sure, let's solve those disclosure requirements on Pharma Marketing Faces a Character-Count Conundrum · · Score: 1

    Wrong. We don't allow prescription drug advertising (except for unsubsidised non-special authority ones, such as Losec for heartburn, and the two ED medications).

    Seems like it.

    No, it does not. It ships only with Collector's Editions. Regular edition owners pay 1200 MS points or equivalent for the same thing.

    Incorrect. Xcode without a provisioning profile cannot upload to, or debug an app on, a physical iPhone or iPod Touch at all. It will only work with the simulator. The provisioning profile is also only obtainable via the Program Portal, which is only accessible with a subscription.

    Thanks, but no thanks. "Gunpal" just doesn't sound all that professional, and I don't think I want to give my money to an organisation affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Worse, the CEO is a gun distributor.

    At least PayPal doesn't pretend to have ethics and morals.

    Personally, I use FastSpring because although they charge 9%, they also eat the chargeback risk of the transactions so long as my business is on the straight and level.

    I use FastSpring. They charge 9% (which is a tad on the high side), but they even eat the risk so it evens out.

    Fair enough then. You still might want to harass the right committee though. The HAC won't get involved in money matters, that's the EC.
