    Statistics gathered by the Adium team report more GTalk than ICQ usage (not surprising, and of course there are all the web client users.

    AFAIK Nokia runs Webkit, so it seems like price is not the main issue here.

    Raj from The Big Bang Theory is Hindu, AFAIK.

    Why not "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"? It already has some connections with space flight

    Sadly, this is the kind of things in OS X designed to be coherent. If you order by class, things get ordered by class. If you sort by name, things get sorted (guess what!) by name. You can't have "sorte by name but also not", sorry.

    ...which yields 42. (This one was for moderators that quite didn't get it)

    Wait... since when has Windows® had decent colour management?

  13. Re:Prior Art on 'Friendly' Worms Could Spread Software Fixes · · Score: 1

    Let me state before anything else that I did not (obviously) mean that we should not pursuit this (or any particular) result, especially given the indetermination that still is present in most of information theory (of which you gave excellent examples). But I think that this is not a merely engineering problem: theory is still lacking, so I guess it's probably up to the mathematicians.

    Unfortunately, my guess is that they'll never quite get to program for us. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_theorem

    currently for me it venerates SQL, Hibernate mappings, C# code and Velocity macros from a single source XML document. Those are truly wonderful things but... are you really venerating C#?

    My source [Tomatis, 1977] states that there is a "built-in" delay (which of course gets compensated) in the two routes. I was not thinking about the precision you need for good localization in space, sorry

  19. Re:Calling all OiNK ex-admins! on Italian Parliament To Mistakenly Legalize MP3 P2P · · Score: 1

    I'd rather hear exactly what the artist recorded. But that's quite difficult. The only way to do it would be following the musician while recording (quite unpractical), but even having access to the closest version possible (ie the master) you should hear it on reference speakers, not hifi.... ;)
  20. Re:Calling all OiNK ex-admins! on Italian Parliament To Mistakenly Legalize MP3 P2P · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: I definitely do not have "discerning" hearing.
    I have heard two arguments that sound like they might have merit, one is binaural hearing (we listen with two ears for direction and location) - if you play a tone in one ear and play the same tone in the other ear slightly delayed humans can discern 10-15 microsecond delay (some as low as 2 - 3 microseconds) AFAIK human hearing is capable of differences in the milliseconds magnitude, not microseconds.

    I think that catholics who can't conceive were already quite pissed off by the fact that they couldn't conceive.

  25. Re:Or drag and drop correctly. on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 2, Informative

    on OS X it's always move if source and destination are on the same volume, copy if source and destination are on different volumes. You can tell it by taking a look at the cursor, anyway. And you can force copy by pressing option, force move by pressing command or create a link by pressing option+alt
