  1. The pissing contest will stop once everyone is done pissing. Since the pissing will never stop there will be no stop to the pissing contest.

    As long as there are browsers there will be someone who cares which one is used the most.

  2. Re:What do you expect? on U.S. Students Struggle With Reasoning Skills · · Score: 1

    I'm a little confused in your reasoning vs memorization comment.

    Take a math problem as an example. You teach the student why you arrange the formula in the way that it is done, but the student only has to memorize the resulting rules in order to come up with the correct answer.

    Did the student use reasoning to solve the problem or memorization?

    Name a country that experiences terror attacks that does not retaliate.

    Lets say that there is an article about Ford's term as Vice-President. Just because you thought about the motor company first that doesn't make the article misleading.

    Can we have a "Please Kill" list as well. I have a neighbor with a dog that barks all night that's just itching for a drone attack.

    As long as you are aware that there is often collateral damage in a drone attack, normally the neighbors of the target.

    Officially there was a ban on political assassinations by the US starting with Ford but it was ended by Clinton.

    Assassination was one of those things that "We just did not do anymore." and that we were morally past it, but realities changed and now it is necessary again.

    And he gives it an 8 out of 10?!?!

    Isn't that the standard /. book review score?

    It is not misleading, it is only misleading if you are a moron.

    It should have taken you a whole 3/4 of a second to realize that it was not the Unity you expected and is instead a different Unity.

    On Mythbusters when checking out different security devices they found that you can fool a fingerprint scanner with a paper copy of the fingerprint.

    If you owe a debt to the government they don't arrest you for it, they take it out of your paycheck.

    Why did you think he was talking about debtor prisons? I really don't see anything in his post that insinuates a debtor prisons type situation.

    Actually if you did own Geeknet stock now would be a very good time to sell if you think that the stock will tank. It is when a stock has already lost a lot of it's value that you would be glad you didn't own any, not right before it loses it's value.

  12. Re:How much effort is needed by the developer now? on Unity 4 Adds Linux Support · · Score: 1

    They mention that this is coming straight out of their labs so I would guess a lot of effort will be needed.

    No ship date at this time so there is still time for them to drop that feature.

    Dell doesn't make the parts -- and it's the parts I was talking about.

    Not a very good example then.

    Oh and if you think EPA fines are bad, can you imagine how bad it would be if a company poisoned an entire town? EPA fines are nothing compared to a serious clean-up.

    China is polluting like mad, they will have to start dealing with clean-ups very soon and it will severely effect their economy.

    Most probably the hydroponics shop has a deal with the cops where they report any major purchases by individuals. The hydroponic shop may get a portion of the proceeds of what is seized as motivation.

    Since one of the supposed roles of the XB-37B is repositioning satellites I would have to assume that it has the ability to change it's own orbit.

    Excellent choice! Something tells me this one could do a good job with it, too.

    Could, but doubtful. Take a look at what she has been in, it's all goody goody family friendly shows with some voice work thrown in.

    Then again, this could end up being her coming out movie. Like when Woody Harrelson who was known mainly for his Woody Boyd character on Cheers went and stared in Natural Born Killers.

    Instead of a Dentata they'll probably do something lame like knock-out lipstick.

    Wow talk about splitting hairs, the person I replied to said that this was not the result of cross pollination due to wind blown pollen, but now you are saying well they weren't windblown, they were carried by bees.

    Why in the fuck does it matter how the cross pollination happened, whether bee or blown, it has the same result.
