  1. Re: Please stop spreading the myth on Can Tech Workers Skip The Olympics As Easily As Athletes? (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I did not say golf isn't a sport. But it shouldn't be compared to badminton in the realm of physical requirement because they are not in the same class.

  2. Re: Please stop spreading the myth on Can Tech Workers Skip The Olympics As Easily As Athletes? (networkworld.com) · · Score: 2

    I play both badminton and golf. If you think top badmintion players have the same physique as top golfers, you are highly mistaken. The amount of endurance required in a male single badminton game is greater than tennis, despite the smaller court.

  3. Windows 7 on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 0

    Windows 7 is actually a good operating system. Switched to various Linux distros before, they are just too slow compared to Windows. And of course, there are all the programs I lost when I switched to Linux.

    If a person decided to allow anyone to see his/her profile, what is there to respect?

  5. Re:NASA leads the way on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    When I was very small and still in China, I remember the grocery market still uses some of China's old measurement, which is base-16. But only the metric system is taught at school.

    Conversions between the metric units are so much easier and cleaner (even for large/small numbers). 12 and 16 may have more common factors, but once the number gets larger, it doesn't matter.

  6. Re:Okay... on Nintendo Sued over Wiimote Trigger · · Score: 1

    3. No matter how many people "came up" with the idea, it does not matter. The patent definition of obviousness is not the human definition. It might seem obvious to place a button in such a location, but did anyone file a patent or design such an item before them? If not, then was it really that obvious for someone to do it?

    Alright, next time when I think of something obvious, I'll file a patent on it just for the sake of patenting.

    Damn! Now I think of Steve Ballmer every time I see the word "squirt". =(

    Just so you know, downloading music in Canada is legal.

    Nice! I didn't know posting the exact same message twice would earn so much karma.

  11. Re:Why exactly would you install the WGA update? on WGA — Too Many False Positives · · Score: 1

    You don't.
    Autoupdate does not require WGA.

    For all the other gadgets (non security-updates) that requires WGA, you can get them elsewhere.

    You read books on the Internet?

    It doesn't have to do with addictions. Some rich kids who want to show off would pay for it.

  15. Re:Umm on Piracy Killing PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    It is more difficult. But I can pay someone to do it for me. The place where my friend bought her PS2 also offer modification to the console for about 200 to 300 Canadian dollars. ( I forgot how much exactly since I don't own any console ) Then you can download PS2 games for free, or buy pirated copies costing $5 each.
