  1. So how does all this relate to Dwarf Fortress? on Google Stops Ads For "Cougar" Sites · · Score: 1

    I'm fluent in English, but didn't know this particular eum... "common metaphor".

    To me a cougar was a letter c that attacked my Dwarves from time to time in Dwarf Fortress... I knew it was an animal, but I didn't bother to look it up.

    When I play Dwarf Fortress again I'm going to study cougars a bit more closely. They sound really vicious.

  2. It is spelled "fucking" on ACLU Sues To Protect Your Right To Swear · · Score: 1

    You used a fucking "*" instead of a fucking "u".

  3. "Impossible" is such a strong word... on New Hardware Models Highlight Nintendo's No-Transfer Policy · · Score: 1

    It would be more correct to say "it would be very difficult to copy the games legally".

  4. Proffesionals have standards on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Be polite.

    Be efficient.

    Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

  5. The answer? on First Superbugs, Now Superweeds · · Score: 1

    Use a gun.

    If that doesn't work,

    use more guns.

  6. Re:Not excited on StarCraft II To Be Released On July 27 · · Score: 1

    You need to use the Zerg then.

  7. bollocks on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1

    That old guy dressed in funny clothes is speaking nonsense again. I think I'll keep ignoring him.

  8. spaguetti eater on Thoughts On the State of Web Development · · Score: 1

    "I still have the problem I complained about a few years ago: the problems that arise from mixing client side and server side markup in the same artifact"

    Someone needs to start using haml.

  9. bad guy? on China's Research Ambitions Hurt By Faked Results · · Score: 1

    Well, the authorities don't mind being the bad guy when they restrict internet access.

  10. mokery on Ireland May Be Next To Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    Irish people, consider yourself mocked by me.

  11. If we get ciber-attacks... on Military Asserts Right To Respond To Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    We'll invade Irak!

  12. Re:The human factor on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1

    Even if the physical access problem was solved, you would still have the problem of a very inquisitive teenager wanting to overcome rules. Try fixing *that*.

  13. Re:Ask the intelligence community on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Logging everything they do isn't "keeping an eye on them". It is totalitarian, even if you don't like the word.

    Your children are not you. The fact that you had trouble when you were a child doesn't mean that your children will. The fact that you needed that extra surveillance doesn't mean that they will. And the fact that privacy nearly got you killed doesn't mean that it will get them killed.

    I believe that children, in general, do have the right to privacy. It is just that this right is "overridable" by circumstances, like a very depressed child. This is similar to declaring a state of emergency when there's a natural catastrophe; the army just takes control of the country until the emergency finishes.

    Then there's the scalability: when do they get the right to privacy, according to you? When they are 18? When they leave the house?

    And chat should happen *much before* you learn that your daughter starts googling birth control. I hope you just phrased it the wrong way.

  14. Re:Ask the intelligence community on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I could not have said it better. The proposed setup is plainly horrendous. I guess the first thing the 15 year-old will try to do is overcome the network limitations (and rightly so).

  15. Re:no rational defense? on Adobe Evangelist Lashes Out Over Apple's "Original Language" Policy · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. I can still make a crashy app on C++. It will just not get approved on the Apple Approval Process (or whatever it is called), because of its crashiness.

    Just like a crashy non-c++ would.

  16. Two modes: classic and "revamped" on How Do I Create a Spiritual Game Successor? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Curse of Monkey Island I and Street Fighter II have recently experienced "remakes" on xbox live.

    They both offer the option to "stick with classic view" or "shiny new remade graphics". They also offer the possibility of switching from one to the other.

    I suggest you do the same: a "classic mode", with gameplay conserved from the original, and a "new mode" with improvements.

  18. It's only a Scheme lib on MIT Finds 'Grand Unified Theory of AI' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is just a library for Scheme. It does the same things that have been done before. In scheme.

    Move along.
