    As a kid, my parents would cuff me around the ear for refusing to share my toys with my friends. As an adult, Hollywood would see me in cuffs for sharing them.

  9. Re:Google results don't contain searched for terms on Google Fires Back About Search Engine Spam · · Score: 1

    Your example link returns all four search terms if you grep the source of the page, so your search was actually 100% successful in terms of keyword occurrence.

    Keyword relevance, however, is in the eye of the beholder. Look to the comments on that page for occurrences of 'open' and 'frame'...

    1) Open the picture.

    On 10.5 and later, select the image and hit the space key. Use arrow keys as required to navigate.

    Like how the OS calculator doesn't have scientific functions until 10.5.

    In 10.4, press Command+(1/2/3) to switch views. Command+2 is 'scientific', Command+3 is 'programmer'.

    Or how to extract a still from a movie, you have to re-navigate to the directory every ... fuckin' ... time.

    If your movie is full screen, hit Command+Shift+3 and it'll create a picture on your desktop. If your movie is windowed, hit Command+Shift+4 and use the cross-hairs to define the area to snapshot.

    Or how you can't use the standard upload file interface on websites, but have to hope it's compatible with iPhoto or some other hack.

    I really don't get this. Either use the 'browse' button like anyone else, or just drag and drop the file in question into the file upload control.

    Or the lack of alt-shortcuts which makes it so that you can't call up a function from a menu unless it's been hot-keyed.

    Turn on 'full keyboard access' in the System Prefs (Ctrl+F1).

    +5 informative my arse. Perhaps your time and energy would be better spend learning to use your damn machine instead of ranting about non-existent problems.

  12. Re:Fortunately on HP CEO Resigns During Sexual Harassment Investigation · · Score: 1

    Because /. isn't about 'breaking stories' or 'investigative journalism' or anything of the kind. /. is about discussing recent news stories from your mom's basement, and it normally takes a moment or two for that news to to filter down through the carpet tiles and ventilation ducts. The delay is intentional.

    As a bonus, this delay gives you time to formulate your rage into a semi-coherent rant for / against the subject and post it here for the world to point fingers at. Alternatively, you could just troll like everyone else does. Or post a link to goatse or tubgirl. Or your lame blog.

    Or you know, you could actually get involved with the discussion.

    Your call...

    On OSX you should take a moment to check out Camino. It's normally a couple of steps behind the latest Firefox release, but it's far more Mac-like with full support for the 'Services' menu, Keychain, speelchequer, etc. To automatically get the latest Camino nightlies that are somewhat closer to the Firefox releases, you may be interested in CaminoKnight.

    You may miss a few common Firefox plugins, but at least Adblock is there...

    I think you'll find Rule #42 is:

  22. Re:Cars on Alienware Refusing Customers As Thieves · · Score: 1

    In my experience, most dealer parts stores _will_ ask for a VIN for your vehicle if you ask them for a headlight; that way they can ensure you get the right part for your model year.

    However, a VIN is not taken as proof of rightful ownership - in fact I can buy parts for anyone else's car without question. Why should computer parts be any different?

    By the way, VIN number contains a redundancy ;)

  23. Re:Here are some other sources: on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 2, Informative

    OK, I was gonna mod you 'troll', but I decided it would be best to counter your facile PAEDOPHILE!!1ONE jab with a couple of points of interest to, you know, give a little bit of context:

    1. I assume you're talking about Aisha here, right? You cannot in all seriousness judge people who lived 1400 years ago by today's societal mores. Times change, history doesn't.

    2. Educate yourself on the Age Of Consent in various countries today. For example, the AOC in Spain and Japan is currently 13, 12 in Mexico, and puberty in Bolivia. Ironically, in Saudi Arabia (Mo's birthplace) there are motions to establish 14 as the minimum age for marriage (extra-marital sex is illegal).

    While #2 above might be an affront to your white Christian Western sensibilities, it has absolutely nothing to do with paedophilia.
