  1. Re:The Solution To This Is Simple on PRO-IP and PIRATE Acts Fused Into New Bill · · Score: 1

    Or, much better, do it more, a lot more, and make sure everyone does.

  2. EIPRA on PRO-IP and PIRATE Acts Fused Into New Bill · · Score: 1

    So, since we need a good way to demonize this law, I recommend LEPRA as the term we should use to refer to this act.

  3. Re:Disastrous. on What To Expect In KDE 4.1 · · Score: 1

    Don't reply to cnp trolls. (Although that's much better than giving them +1 insightful...)

  4. Plasma on What To Expect In KDE 4.1 · · Score: 1

    Plasma is soo revolutionary. For example, KDE will never be able to actually have desktop icons, instead they will have to live with windows attached to the desktop that show some folder's contents instead. But that's revolutionary!
    <p>Plasma: The desktop revolution nobody wanted. KDE4: Platform to run plasma, which is the desktop revolution.</p>

  6. Unknown MB manufacturer makes cards that fail on L on MoBo Manufacturer Foxconn Refuses To Support Linux · · Score: 1

    "Unknown MB manufacturer makes cards that fail on Linux" Ok... I could panic, send angry letters, etc. Or, I could return it "sorry, it wasn't stated Linux is not supported, I am returning the card in order to buy another brand" ... Really, what's wrong with these people? <- I mean, the guy at ubuntuforums and the ones writing the emails...

    "No Gap Found In Math Abilities of Girls, Boys " I guess that's a better title for the article than "White girls suck at math, US to remove math from tests much easier" ...

    Haha. Yeah, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a KERNEL to invent a new display kind...

  9. Hmnn on Study Says Open Source Software a Security Risk · · Score: 1

    1. Make up your own definition for what good security is.

    5. Profit! (From whom though?)

    Of course, there's nothing wrong with C++'s implementation either, it 's the programmer...

  13. Re:I'd be happy if pirates* would acknowledge... on Companies Coming Around To Piracy's Upside? · · Score: 1

    clarkkent09, if piracy discouraged software makers from making software, we would have gotten rid of frigging Microsoft ages ago!. Damn, clarkkent09, why can't you be a normal slashdotter?

  14. Re:I'd be happy if pirates* would acknowledge... on Companies Coming Around To Piracy's Upside? · · Score: 1

    <p>The reality is that when a guy pirates a piece of software he wouldn't be able to buy otherwise and gains 'productivity', the company selling the software, wins an advocate that will promote this software to other people, some of them might actually pay for the software.
    </p>

    <p>His government will also have to support this expensive tool and probably pay for it since most governments cannot just download software... This means the guy who is pirating it is effectively paying for it through taxes, call it a rogue country discount.</p>

    <p>I actually think piracy harms the users much more than the companies', in fact my impression for living in a piracy-run country is that the software companies become the only winners.</p>

  15. Re:braces on Best and Worst Coding Standards? · · Score: 1

    You know, I like python and all which is a recent shift from previous years... But I still don't like the implementation, syntactically important whitespace is one thing, but the lack of a visible limitator makes python code a little confusing when seeing only portions of it, I am never sure if an if/while/for/def block has ended.

    if condition:
        a=b
        c=d
        h=i
    (End of Page).
    oops?

    Anyway, something that for some reason isn't used in the C-like stuff.

    if (condition)
        a=b,
        c=b,
        d=9;
    else
        k=i;

    As I just noticed recently, if you can't join the statements with a , then the if's contents should have been on another function anyway...

  16. Re:Microsoft only threat? on Worm Transcodes MP3s To Infect PCs · · Score: 1

    A lot of people and companies use Linux. And the OP was not implying that non-windows OS are safer, he was just asking if this issue was windows-only. A question you utterly failed to answer. May I say fuck off?

    Yeah, whoever wants the videos recommended for you to work to actually select the videos based on your previous choices? That's crazy! Oh and I am too lazy to log off while downloading a video to avoid them to keep records...

  22. Re:W3C glacial process? on W3C's Role In the Growth of a Proprietary Web · · Score: 1

    I find it funny that someone (especially from Mozilla) blames the W3C for glacial process, when even Firefox 3 still doesn't have something as basic as box-shadow (with the "-moz" vendor prefix of course, since the spec is still a draft).

    I find it funnier that you, and apparently 4 guys with mod points have failed to actually read the summary correctly. "Paul Ellis" (who actually made the shameless plug to his blog when submitting the story) is the one saying w3c is glacial as a way to debunk a mozilla complaint after his utterly non-sense full of BS article.
