    virtual currencies are not minted - unless they change the definition of minted

  3. Re:Google wont upset mozilla. on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    I will agree with this... but even if something happened "overnight" that mozilla went down and no new builds were ever made, the rest of existing installs still operate the way they always have - of course, until they want to switch browsers (because their now non-supported browser is not updated anymore) and switch to a browser that does not benefit Google (and if Google parted ways with Mozilla - we know that Mozillia is not over with, at least not immediately, at they would be gambling on their own browser, while a very GOOD browser, is still a BIG BIG gamble)

  4. Re:Hmm, if it is any better than Flash... on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    not yet, i am sure that there has been no significant optimizations in that technology yet, as the adoption rate is small.... if a popular web application ro framework came out that used SVG extensively, you can bet the big ones (except IE, maybe) would come out with ways to improve the efficiency and speed of SVG rendering

  5. Re:It won't be a quick transition. on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    even then if this took off, you know someone will make an extension to a browser that will convert embedded flash object html (or js even) with the Gordon wrapper on any given page

  6. Re:chrome is werid on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    I prefer this, that way no on screen real estate is used up by a menu bar. I only commonly use a few options in the "wrench" menu and I'd rather have it all hidden there instead of always on screen when i would rarely use it anyways. more space to read and see pages and less ui element always on screen... i guess it is a preference thing.

    Weird, I am using the same exact build and having no problems whatsoever - maybe different based on the OS? (Win7 here)

  8. Re:Google wont upset mozilla. on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    So google has to keep paying mozilla to fund their project instead of promoting their own browser (for better or worse) so they don't upset you guys???

    GO back even further when EA used to take chances on innovative games in the early to mid-80s

    Ozark Softscape: MULE and 7 cities of Gold
    Freefall associates: Archon series and Murder on the Zinderneuf
    Bill Budge: Pinball construction set
    Interplay: All the early Interplay Titles (primarily Bard's Tale and Wasteland - that being said, BT games are much like the old Wizardry title, no necessarily innovative, but was a hit)
    Binary Systems: Starflight games

    EA started out in like 82 or 83 and didn't make their own games until 87 - and it was the very late 80s and early 90s when crap really started flowing out of the company

  10. Re:Food, Inc. on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    GMO isn't the primary issue... the corporate controlling and execessive litigate over an "IP of food" is the problem. I mean properly done GMO crops can be beneficial... but doing so to 1) corner a market and 2) control a food supply (that's Monsanto) doesn't benefit anyone but Monsanto and their share holders - not to mention the borderline illegal activities in the US and dangerous environmental practices. Also there are other documentaries about Monsanto specifically (the french made "The World According to Monsanto") etc.... blah blah

  11. Re:Good 'ol Monsanto on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    Feeding cattle things other than their normal grazing habits on land lends to e. coli issues. the grass cows eat naturally helps their stomachs fight of bad bacteria, while grain fed cows have trouble battling off that stuff (and gets into much of the meat supply in super markets and restaurants)

  12. Good 'ol Monsanto on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They want to own food and the IPs for any GMOs they make and them force them into countries an markets. While i usually try to avoid hype documentaries, I do recommend watching "Food, Inc." as a starting insight into the evil of Monsanto (as well as the meat industry) - maybe biased but still a GOOD watch. The find a French documentary (usually it is subtitled or dubbed) called "The World According to Monsanto" for more details on the companies practices. Remember, before food, they created Agent Orange (as well as all the other "rainbow" Agent herbicides). Because of these shows, I have tried to buy my food from local source, and try to buy (unsuccessfully) in season (when i do buy out of season, I try Whole Foods, dunno if they are THAT better, but the one in Tulsa is good) - all my meat comes from a local butcher now and local livestock feed in conventional ways.

  16. Re:Spin on Consumerist Says AT&T Site Won't Sell iPhone In NYC, Citing Network · · Score: 1

    It is a good phone.. i just like virtual keyboards more, and the moment was available when I got the hero. I think they are both adequate phones. I believe the moment has less OS/UI issues as they don't have that silly Sense UI layer over the stock Android UI (it is neat looking, but kinda redundant for the sake of TEH PRETTAY) and because of that, OS updates for the Moment can be released more timely (well, I say that, but Sprint is never timely with updates)

  17. Re:Spin on Consumerist Says AT&T Site Won't Sell iPhone In NYC, Citing Network · · Score: 1

    They did, but, instead, they tooted their horn with the CDMA version of the HTC Hero, which is an OK phone (i have one), but not particularly ground-breaking. However, it seems, they practically said nothing about the Moment.

  20. Re:Take on AdBlock? on Google Chrome Extensions Are Now Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is why i never use adblockers. If a site has a terrible ad-display model, i simply never go to the site again (or a terrible content splitter, where a 2 page article is split among 10 pages, for example, i find that a deal breaker for a web site too). I go to many other sites where ads are only a minor side-annoyance, if this helps a website just a wee-bit more, I am more than OK with that.

    Right there. Basically, Drupal is like the Sharepoint of the open source world... too complicated for most people to figure it out, so you have "consultants" to make it work for you. I rarely troll... in this case, I'm not losing sleep over it ;)
