  1. Re:Global "Dependencies" on Test Driving the Tesla Roadster · · Score: 1
    Forget about pragmatism and we'll create our own reality. Feasability? Screw it. Net environmental effect of the technology? Who needs to analyze anything when we've got dreamers! There's no point in looking at our world for how it is when we can see it like we want it to be.

    I think the scariest part was you got massacred twice. As if you weren't dead enough already.

  3. Re:gcc, worm, trojan on Open Source Malware Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Doing a strings on it produces some Windows DLL names, function names like "InternetOpen", and a few fragments of strange text. file says it's a Windows executable. Weird... I wonder what it's doing on the gcc servers.

  4. Re:Gimpshop! on Beginning GIMP · · Score: 1

    I used the GIMP before I ever touched Photoshop, and to me Photoshop's interface feels stupid. In the GIMP, I can just right-click where I am instead of moving to the top to bring up the menu. And I love the multiple-window interface. I can relocate any part of it, and even have non-GIMP windows between things without them dissapearing behind a giant gray area every time I click something.

    I never understand why people think the GIMP is terrible. I have noticed, however, it always seems to be people who have spent a lot of time in Photoshop or another graphics program, and that they tend to think all the others are terrible too. It seems like a familiarity problem to me.

    Now, you tell me how Photoshop might actually be more intuitive than the GIMP, because I haven't seen any evidence in that direction other than a few uninformed people yelling at me "OM Ggimp cnat evne DRAW a LIEN!!".

    I don't know how permadeath is handled [in EVE].
    If your ship blows up, you fly around in a little defenseless pod until you can get another ship. If your pod blows up you revert to your clone at your designated home base. If you have a lot of skills but a low-grade clone, you will lose some skills. I never played very long but from what I've seen, pod-killing is very looked down upon.
  7. Re:Steam with public library Internet? on Half-Life 2 Pack Announced for Xbox 360 & PS3 · · Score: 1

    There are some groups that produce unofficial "patches", most small enough to fit on a floppy. Not that I have any experience with them...

    Did you shave also? I know a guy who shaves his entire body to reduce drag. It's kind of creepy, and I doubt it really works.

    Let me guess. Berkner High School? You forgot to mention the cameras in the hallways, and the metal detectors they got over the summer.
