  1. Re:A world changing experiment... on Successful Cold Fusion Experiment? · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it was submitted by someone for whom English is not their native language? Helium in Italian is "Elio". Unless you're assuming that you need to know perfect English to have a clue of what you're talking about.

  2. Re:Ad hominem ? on NewYorkCountryLawyer Debates RIAA VP · · Score: 1

    And that clown was the moderator?

  3. Re:It's Saturday night on Bolivian Salt Flats Aid Spacecraft Calibration · · Score: 1

    Mind if I'm more pedantic? It's Mt. Chimborazo, not Mt. Chimborazu.

  4. Re:Of course Schwartz would say that. on Sun CEO Says NetApp Lied in Fear of Open Source · · Score: 5, Informative

    So it's incompatible with the GPL, not really 'free software'?

    GPL-compatibility is not a requirement for free software.

  6. Re:Simple, Actually on Why Myths Persist · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I doubt that anyone would argue that we have fucked it up quite badly over there, but Iraq was never sold as retribution for 9/11

    I call bullshit

    Vice President Dick Cheney, lashing out at Democrats for the first time since the felony conviction of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, his former top deputy, resumed his controversial claims Monday that the war in Iraq is the central front in the worldwide U.S. response to the Sept. 11 attacks.

  7. Re:Some details... on ISO Says No To Microsoft's OOXML Standard · · Score: 1

    Yay, I'm glad to see my home country, Ecuador, recently switched and actually voted NO.

    What I'm surprised to see is Venezuela switching and voting YES, especially considering how much the government there loves US interests.

  8. Re:May Be Allowed? I think not... on Antigua May Be Allowed To Violate US Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Um, Ecuador's case was against the EU, not against the US.

  9. Re:Nothing unusual on Microsoft Pays Bloggers to Tout MS Slogan · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not the same. It's not a case of bloggers putting Microsoft ads in their blogs.

    It's a case of getting paid for letting Microsoft quote them saying the "people ready" slogan.

    See this link.

  10. Re:Protocol? on P2P Remains Dominant Protocol · · Score: 1

    It's the title of the article. Blame Mr. Thomas Mennecke.

  11. Re:Not the only administration on Administration Ignored Bin Laden Intel · · Score: 1

    Wow, those b-b-but Clintons seem to be coming even faster.

    Guess what. Clinton sucked. That's not news. However, throwing red herrings will NOT make this (as in, happening now) administration stop doing it. The fact that "they did it too" doesn't work anymore. You can't change the past, so start taking responsability for what's happening now.

    If Democrats take control of the House and the Senate in November, I'll be the first one yelling to any Democrat for the "b-b-but Bush"s that WILL come. But right now, it's useless.

  12. Re:That is amazing, I want to see it in Highschool on Life Inside a Cell · · Score: 1

    ROTFLMAO, I thought I was the only one :)

  13. Re:I think it will start a bad presidence. on Wiretap Ruling Threatens Telecoms · · Score: 1

    What will probably happen is these companies will in turn sue the NSA, for their damages, such as the smart thing would do is fight the traffic ticket and also sue for unlawful conduct by the police, and get some extra for your expenses.

    And that is a bad precedent?

  14. Re:Nintendo Wi-Fi on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    I've heard about people trying to reverse engineer the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection so that this is possible, but I really think they should have included this in the first place. It would have had so many uses.

    Well, they're half there, there are even programs to scan networks or upload stuff to your DS.

    A browser would be give some trouble, given that there are only 4 MB RAM, you have a resolution of 2 x 256 x 192 and only 66 Mhz; a ported version of Links may do but you will *not* see a Firefox.

  15. Re:Let me be the first to say on 2005 Will Probably be Warmest on Record · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Correlation is not causation.

    But it's the main requisite.

  16. Re:Sovereign nation? on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 0, Troll

    I believe they are referring to the current Iraqi government

    In that case, shouldn't it be .iq.us?

  17. Re:SVG Icons on 29 Vector Drawing Programs · · Score: 2, Informative

    AFAIK they are optimized directly for font rendering (black/white or black with grey tones), while SVG requires colors, gradients, multiple transparencies, textures and so on.

  19. Re:What's with the Amazon bashing? on Amazon's Special Thank-You · · Score: 1

    It's because of their position on software patents: they patented 1-Click shopping (Pat. 5,960,411), which everybody sees as trivial, and then starting a turf war by suing Barnes and Noble for it.
    Before, when the New York Times had complained that they were infringing on its trademark by offering 50 percent discounts on titles that were on the newspaper's bestseller list, they sued them.

    $5 million is about 5% of their global sales

    It's exactly 5%. The fine was supposed to be 5% of their daily global sales revenue.

    And I don't really understand what you mean about Slashcode internals. It's open-source, right? Can you give some info to back up the innuendo?

    He means this post from 2 years ago, where all users who modded in that thread were banned from moderation, and the whole thread was modded -1. The post itself was moderated over 800 times. More info here

  25. Re:As much as it pains me to say this... on PDF Tracking On the Way · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Websites only collect the IP of the machine that downloaded the page. This technology would distributors to collect the IP of every machine in which the PDF is *viewed*.

    On the evil side, getting on the conspiration mood, it would also allow the FBI or the gov to diffund pseudo-dissident bait documents and then check and track anyone who reads it, anywhere he reads it.
