  1. Tho big chimpanzees on China Calls Out US On Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    Throwing shit at each other in a cage called world.

    And the shit, that's us.

  2. Super Mario on Are Graphical Calculators Pointless? · · Score: 1
  3. 1850 has send you a telegram on Forget Space Travel, It's Just a Dream · · Score: 5, Insightful

    According to Physics and Chemistry self-propelled chariots are impossible STOP self-propelled flying vehicles are a fool's errand STOP Internet is that little net inside some pieces of underwear STOP.

  4. Let's stop calling it "protection" on EU About To Vote On Copyright Extension · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a "copy restriction", not a "copy protection".

  5. Superman on Groklaw Declares Victory, No More Articles · · Score: 1

    That's like superman saying "I've stopped these jewelry burglars, so now I've decided to retire".

    I mean, thanks a lot and all that. But other causes could use your legal insight.

  6. Re:Which date? on Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11 · · Score: 1

    And it is also the one used in databases AFAIK.

  7. Re:Which date? on Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11 · · Score: 1

    The yyyy-mm-dd makes more sense because chronological order matches alphabetical order.
    And that's just convenient.

  8. Re:Amazed on Nokia Confirms Symbian Is No Longer Open Source · · Score: 2

    Somebody gave somebody lots of money.

  9. Additional rules on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 1

    They must also keep a bottle of red wine, some cheese and a fresh baguette at all times in all datacenters, in case the authorities are visiting and get hungry.

  10. Re:CLI is no longer essential on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    I program.

    Appart from writing text files, the things I need are - repository related stuff (committing/branching), executing tests and launching servers.

    It is not dreadful at all.

  11. Re:CLI is no longer essential on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    "Likewise, have fun performing simple tasks with a CLI."

    I do, thank you very much. And it is much easier than with a CLI. 80% of the time it's a matter of pressing up and enter.

  12. Re:Command line? Seriously? on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    Most people in the world don't use computers. You can go now.

  13. Re:Steeper Learning Curve on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's true. Once you have seen a command-line program, you have seen all of them (ok, 95% of them).

    On the other hand, every GUI-based program is different. You can't use the knowledge you gained on Visual Studio to work with Eclipse.

  14. Re:CLI is no longer essential on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    "Everything can be done in a GUI"
    False.

    "I don't see why not".
    True.

  17. dude. on Patent Troll Going After Alzheimer's Researchers · · Score: 1

    Were did these guys come from? A comic book from the 70s?

    Do they also twitch their moustaches and laugh maniacally?

  18. Re:Tax junk food on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    "would you consider a Big Mac or a Whopper "junk"? And why?"

    Yes I would. Doing math.

    Big Macs & Whoopers are around 500 calories. That isn't bad for a meal. Large french fries are another 500, and the soda is 250. So 1250 calories per meal.

    The recommended daily caloric intake for an adult is 2,550 calories, so you get a little less than half of that with a single Mc Donald meal. And you are hungry again after 1 hour. It is junk.

  19. Re:Fat is way cheaper on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    I'd like to point out that "natural" is not equal to "healthy".

    Fruits are natural and healthy, in general.
    Falling from a cliff is also natural, but very unhealthy.

    Nature isn't "interested" in your well-being.

  20. Re:Where's my reward? on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    "Almost as many underweight people would reap similar benefits from gaining weight."

    If you put the whole world in the same bag, then famine deaths surely are higher than overweight-related ones. But in the US, the former greatly outnumber the later.

    For the rest of your post, citation needed.

  21. Re:Tax junk food on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    I think you are confusing "high risk" with "high certainty".

  24. Re:Tax junk food on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    It is not subjective. There's a whole career devoted to food studies.

    Some food is plain junk. Other food is inappropriate for certain sectors of the population, and ok for others. But that's not subjective.

  25. Re:The Case for Google's Control: Atrix on Google Fights Back Against Android Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    You should see the Samsung Galaxy. It even comes with a propietary (and underperformant) file system. Which in turn lags the rest of the system, and makes some apps simply not work.
