    Willing to use a quote from the U.S. president Benjamin Franklyn

    Benjamin Franklin was never a U.S. president, and in the U.S. "the right of the people to keep and bear arms." is the Second Amenement to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution. So it is one of the Essential Liberties of the United States.

  3. Re:Satisfying on The Death of Windows XP · · Score: 1, Funny

    Few mistakes in that post:

    #1: You must be new around here. = You must be new here

    #2: You must promote *insert favorite Linux distro here*, not cracked copy of XP. (While XP is much better than Vista, it was created by Microsoft, and must therefore die)

    #3: Using the "You must be new here" meme on someone with a 4 digit UID while you have a 7 digit UID.

  8. Re:People don't like change on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    In March 2007, Mac OS has market-share of 6.09%. In January 2008 that had increased to 7.57%. Not bad. And while Linux is significantly smaller, it too has something interesting to report. In March 2007, Linux had market-share of 0.4%. In January 2007, Linux had market-share of 0.67%. That's an over 50% increase in market-share in under a year. Had OS X had similar growth, they would have went from 6.09% in march to over 9% in January.
    While that is interesting, I think your math is wrong.... If Linux had a market-share of 0.4% in March 2007, and 2 months previously in January 2007 had a market-share of 0.67% it's a decrease. It would make sense though if you were talking about March 2007 and January 2008....
  9. Old Account on Charter Accidentally Wipes 14K Email Accounts · · Score: 1

    The funny thing about that is, my email account with them is still active, with all of my emails.

  11. Re:Huh? on Chemical Reaction Changes Color Over and Over · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And that's impossible. I mean science has always gotten everything right about physics. Don't belive those crazy rumors going around that the world is spherical.... As much as we know about physics, astronomy, matter, time, space, etc... There's that much more that we don't know. I'm not saying perpetual motion is something that will ever be discovered, or if it is possible. But saying something is "impossible" because we would be wrong otherwise, puts us at the place of knowing everything. As far as we know, the second law of thermodynamics is right, but we've been proven wrong in the past, and probably will in the future.

  13. In other news.... on Saturn's Moons Built From Ring Material · · Score: 2, Funny

    Astronomers have determined that the shape of the satellite determines whether it is classified as a moon or not. In an astounding landslide at the latest meeting, it was declared that saucer shaped satellites are to be labeled actual moons, while the spherical satellites are now called pseudo-moons. This in a new spree of reclassifications by astronomers has confused many people.

    Offtopic? Did you RTFA?

    An even bigger hurdle for the project is cost-efficiency. The Microsoft team predicts that by 2010, a 1-terabyte (1,000-gigabyte) hard drive will cost less than $300. I was just saying that the article isn't very up to date, with 1TB hard drives at less than $300. How is that offtopic? Would you explain?

  17. Re:Low value version is region locked, that's OK on Valve Responds to Steam Territory Deactivations · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's more like selling a car in Thailand that only runs on Thai fuel

    What? There is no such thing in this scenario. Computers in Thailand don't run on anything different than American or Russian computers if they run 32bit Windows. AFAIK, there is no such thing as Thai fuel for cars either and if it were it wouldn't be cheaper to make a car run on Thai fuel because it would cost more because of the two production lines instead of a one. I really doubt he was really talking about "Thai only fuel" or the price of manufacturing that fuel. Try fuel that only works in Thailand. Valve released a game that only was licensed for use in Thailand, it wasn't released region free.

    I remember looking a few weeks ago at the details of the EPG in Vista Media Center, and noticed that it said the EPG was powered by Zap2it. I'm sure that they will have some type of replacement, but it seems like everyone was dependent on Zap2it.
