  1. Why is anyone surprised? on Google Admits to Using Sohu Database · · Score: 1

    Google is a corporation and should be dealt as such. It is not an individual with a single mind nor strong beliefs.

    It can make mistakes and do evil regardless of what they say. Their primary purpose is to make money and they will and can do anything to achieve it.

    Also it is easy to do what you believe in with a small and likely minded group of people. It is much harder to do so with over 10,000 people most of which don't think the way or have the moral obligations as you do.

    Exactly. In fact, varies greatly. Take me for instance. I'm 9 and my son is 30.

  4. Re:don't blame on Cable Packet Shaping Causing Slowdowns · · Score: 1

    P2P sharing != Music/movies sharing.

    P2P traffic can be just as important as any other traffic. Surely most of it isn't that important at the moment but IMO no internet traffic should be identifiable except for the given recipient it is intended for. An ISP is no one to decide which traffic is more important if they are getting the amount of money they want.

    I don't buy this crap where an ISP offers a package with hidden assumption about you usage. Who the fuck is rogers to decide what I am doing with the bandwidth I AM PAYING THEM for. It's like selling me a Race Car which doesn't run over 50KM because they made an assumption that the average user in their normal usage won't be driving it over 70KM.

  5. Re:Respect and Freedom? on Thailand Bans YouTube · · Score: 1

    I hate lunatics of every sort including religious ones myself but yet I do know that all of us has somethings which we consider above everything.

    Suppose there is group A. They value freedom and security above everything. They don't have any tolerance when it comes to freedom and security and might invade and kill any other group to protect it against any danger (direct or indirect or mythical). They do have much more tolerance when it comes to any other thing like humor or mockery. They also have much more power and resources compared to any other group.

    Now there is another group B. They do not value freedom and security as much as group A does but they do however idolize a certain personality and consider it's respect above everything else. The same thing as group A, they would do anything thing including burning, killing to keep the personality respected.

    Now I'm not advocating either of these group. The group B might need to be educated about certain things but so does group A.

    Oh wait!
    Never mind.
  9. Re:I want to get paid!!! on EU Rejects Microsoft Royalty Proposal · · Score: 1

    No one is denying their right to make money.
    The only thing which is being asked is to not use their market share to shutdown the competition. They are not asking them to provide the source code of windows kernel to linux guys. All they are asking is to provide a way for competition to connect with windows using THIER OWN FREAKIN CODE and not Microsoft's.
    All they want to be provided is the documentation.

  13. Vista searching == crap on Google Desktop for Mac Released · · Score: 2

    No really. I have been using vista since early alpha versions and the searching is useless at best. The first thing I do after installing vista is to install googledesktop on top of it.

    Also the sidebar included with googledesktop (>v5) is much better than the build in one and the gadgets available are far more in numbers and superior in features.

  18. Re:My First Thought on Morfik Patents AJAX Compiler · · Score: 1

    From the patent: 2. The method of claim 1 wherein unneeded information consisting of white space or comments is removed before generating the semantic map. Just leave the comments and/or white space in the javascript and the patent doesn't apply. Seriously, that is how patents work. If your implementation doesn't infringe all of the points mentioned (in the patent) then the patent doesn't apply to your implementation.

    The problem with adding features on a touch screen based system IS that you need to look at the screen to find them. It's much worse than using a cellphone with no handsfree in a vehicle.

  21. Re:It's nearly unusuable. on OpenOffice 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Not really. It is actually a page designer app and a crappy one too.

    Okay maybe it does has some word processing options (TOC generation, mail merge etc) but still, most of the options people use in it are related to page designing like inserting and aligning a picture or aligning the text etc.
