  1. Re:I installed the latest OO, definitely not a thr on Is OpenOffice.org a Threat? Microsoft Thinks So · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's a fucking /. comment, not a "real world" review, smartass.

    So when you find nothing to attack on the content, you attack the form. Nice.

  2. Re:Not good enough on AbleGamers Reviews Games From a Disability Standpoint · · Score: 1

    is a game with just one button good enough?

    like this one (sfcave in 3d. defaults to two-button mode, but the one-button mode works mostly the same)

  3. Re:Why would a desktop user would run it? on FreeBSD 8.0 Released · · Score: 1

    No, because Linux does add features not available on Windows.

    then you, by definition, is not one that will need support.

    those are the people that use that mainstream linux distros. and there are not that many mainstream distros, nor they are that different from each other.

  5. Re:Only removed from default install on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    I have never understood why Linux distros think major applications should be part of the base install.

    not all linux distros, just the "user friendly, windows-like" ones.

    just pick another, more basic distro (debian, arch, gentoo, whatever), they are already the way you want.

    this new feature of GE that gives you a slider to "go back in time" by displaying older satelite data will be interesting to use some decades(?) from now.

    Well, I did not read the article, but maybe they're talking about genetic algorithms?

  10. Re:Nvidia facing obsolescence on NVIDIA Driver Developer Discusses Linux Graphics · · Score: 1

    the idea is not that nvidia is obsolete now, but it faces a not-so-distant future when it will be.

  11. Re:Wow. . . on Perl 5.11.0 Released · · Score: 1

    And it still doesn't include a decent text editor.

    Not even "gravity made that apple fall," since others might say that the Earth-mother drew that apple towards it

    Isn't that exactly the same thing as gravity?

  19. Re:Give up already on Schneier On a Generation Gap In Privacy · · Score: 1

    It's more than just wanting to share information.

    It's that it's naturally hard to prevent information to flow. Like holding water downhill.

    Water wants to go downhill, like information wants to spread.

  20. Re:Lame. on Google Brings SVG Support To IE · · Score: 1

    Lame? Not for *this* reason.

    Remember we are talking about people that still use IE.
    What's reliance on Flash compared to that?
    Besides, every user running IE has flash enabled already anyway.

    (I didn't RTFA, but I suppose it uses this Flash-based SVG renderer only if the browser doesn't support SVG natively.)
