    How completely fucking absurd. Is this complete cretin fishing for a grant from, I don't know, the Retards Association?

    I would hope he means "if the assumptions my calculations are based on are correct" rather than worrying if he made an arithmetic error.

    Seriously if we are going to do away with letters why not 'c' ('k' or 's' will do), 'q' ('kw' will do) or 'x' (ks or z will do). That way we kan kwikly assign keys to ekstra funktionality.

  10. You know, I sort of hope you don't smoke weed, because otherwise you're not doing your argument any favors. You wrote a sentence that made no sense, then your correction isn't even correct. You didn't write "out now", you wrote "out know".

    Syriac translations played a major role for the later reception into Arabic. These translators from Syriac were mostly Nestorian and Jacobite Christians, working in the two hundred years following the Abbasid period. The most important translator of this group was the Syriac-speaking Christian Hunayn Ibn Ishaq (809-873), known to the Latins as Joannitius.

    I find this decision difficult to understand. I was forced to get a BlackBerry for work, ended up with a Z30. The hardware seems decent, but the absolute worst thing has always been the software.

    I've heard that the corporate side for controlling, monitoring, and updating remote handsets is very good - and this is who they mostly sell it to.

  21. This certainly has consequences for B2G OS. For the community to continue working on B2G OS they will have to maintain a code base that includes a full version of Gecko, so will need to fork Gecko and proceed with development on their own, separate branch.

    How many lives does the music industry have anyway? Can't it just stay dead? It must have been killed by enough new technologies by now, with cassettes, CD-ROMs, MP3 players, USB thumb drives, and now Youtube rips laying into it.

    IFPI, RIAA, and BPI have sued users who have the audacity to recall verses and lyrics from songs they heard on Youtube and the radio.

    RIAA spokesperson commented, "Each time one of these social deviants hums, sings, or otherwise repeats our intellectual property to their peers represents an enormous loss of revenue to our members. We intend to aggressively pursue legal action whenever possible to recoup all potential losses. It's clear the recent declining revenue in our industry is directly caused by these unauthorized reproductions of our copyrighted material"

    They backed down this time but I'm sure they'll keep trying
