  1. Re:Thats what you get for on Exchange Rates Spell High Prices for Windows 7 In the EU · · Score: 1

    Um, we actually took M$'s money, now we've elected a PirateParty member into the European Parliament. The way it looks, Balmer & co. are the ones bent over and awaiting our second coming :D

    Oh well, we'll just leech it from http://thepiratebay.org/

    ask an all knowing MCSA about that, you'd be surprised

  6. Re:X-forwarding on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Whatever. We all know that x forwarding was an idea stolen from Microsoft's Terminal Server technology.

    Man, you've got to have balls this big *puts two fists together* in order to post something like this on /.
    Either that or you're just another troll...

  7. Re:I never knew that command on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the hyperlink stuff is what brought us this whole GUI mess in the first place.
    Real men use bash and man!

  8. Re:Higgs on First Definitive Higgs Result In 7 Years · · Score: 1

    If so, then it could be argued that the complex Ptolemaic explanation is equally valid because it is actually equal, just expressed in a needlesly complex way...

    Yes, I agree. As soon as we agree on the relativity of things (the observer on earth gets the right to call himself the center of the universe), you can easily transform the celestial movements to a reference system of your liking.

    Still, this does not explain the origin of the motion. Newton would have had a hard time postulating a theory of gravity without Kepler and Galileo describing the motion patterns themselves.

  9. A new front on Google, Yahoo, and the Elephant In the Room · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Google and Yahoo should start their own operating system business...just to make a point

    I for one, allow myself to flip off your Attorney General ... Oh, and so does OBL

  12. Why use a register in the first place? on Can You Access Your Own Cash Register Data? · · Score: 1

    IMHO a POS system has a superior flexibility for small shops; especially if the developer is willing to alter the software to fit specific needs.

    Been selling these little buggers for way under 1k$ and most complaints have been met with some coding, which helped me keep the whole matter modularized.

  13. Re:So basically... on Athletes Can Blog at Olympics - with Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, I think we both may be right.
    The IOC is a Non Governmental Organization whose purpose is to organize the Olympic games, etc. etc. etc.

    The fact is that they are a quite corrupt bunch of managers who love money more than their own mother (if they ever had one).
    Sad but true

  14. Re:So basically... on Athletes Can Blog at Olympics - with Restrictions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Uh, the IOC is surely not a corporation, and especially not the athletes employer. They're merely the organizers of the Olympic games.

    Their infringement on athletes' rights is a scandal on its own!

  15. Re:Used to, still could, but probably won't on Where Are Tomorrow's Embedded Developers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    True!
    when comparing x86,PIC or (shudder) 8051 ASM to some more modern Python programming, I dont really want to go back anymore. Even though I maintain Python code with a curses GUI Yuck!

    Last thing I worked on was a GPRS/GPS combo on an ARM device, which was quite fun.

    Why such a long prelude? Well, I just cant find serious employment on the field of embedded devices in Eastern Europe. Most guys who need a developer are of the type with "A good Idea" and hiring a dumbass to do the work; you just cant feed a family from those guys payments. So, I'll just stick to my Python stuff and keep integrating some Brainfuck code, just so they cant fire me anytime soon.

    And at night I dream of indirect addressing, C pointers and interrupt vectors...

  16. Re:Serbia on Web Hosting For Privacy Activists? · · Score: 1

    Sure, you could do that! still, should the FBI start asking questions about who is responsible for this site, you can bet your arse that the Serbian government will protest about such an outrageous request! Next day the main political media (politikin zabavnik,blic) will pronounce you, , a hero of the people. Together with a full article (with picture) about you - and your address (for fan mail, of course). Should you be in Serbia at the time, you can bet that thousands will protest your extradition to the US. Alternately, you will disappear for a while; a real long while (or as the serbs like to say - you got eaten by the dark).

    Anyway, disregard the above message, for you don't have enough money to afford a decent hosting plan in Serbia, it's just too expensive!

    Uhh, aside from setting up memory parameters and preparing the bootloader, I don't really see any real need for a complicated BIOS...except for the (medicore) overclockers who get a hard on when they see a fat BIOS
