  1. Joomla! is evil. on Joomla! 1.5 Development Cookbook · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everytime a developper codes a joomla module, god drops a tcp packet.

  2. Re:This is wonderful! on Laser Fusion Passes Major Hurdle · · Score: 1

    I suppose french swallows could carry baguette slices to california, if encased in a coconut shell?

  3. Re:No on Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the first instruction is to read all the insctruction: while you are executing it, you read the other but don't execute them.
    When you finish reading everything, you finish executing instruction 1, and can safely go on and execute instruction 2.

    read != execute.

  5. Re:PSST! on How To Spread Word About My FOSS Project? · · Score: 1

    Hey you! Open source developer! This is your chance! Post the name of your project and pretend you posted the original question!

    Ok, I'll give it a shot:

    My project is named Quotero (http://www.quotero.com) and it's an open source Document Management System based on java.
    It's designed to ease the development of client interfaces, a web client and a windows client already exist and you can write your own.
    A module allows it to integrate with MS Office, and another make it possible to remotely browse your documents repository as a windows filesystem.

    (Ok, I'm not a very good salesman. I'm just a developper for the company who makes this product - and I never actually work on it. But I use it daily and it's pretty cool.)

    (And no, I'm not the one who posted the original question - we have more than 5-6 users (not much more, but our userbase is constantly growing and we actually have a little community))

    (and yes, the website is not somthing we're really proud of, and I do love parentheses)

    There is a legend about a chinese who was such a great spy, he went so far to the west he returned in china.

  8. Re:The new dogma of genetics on Humans Nearly Went Extinct 1.2M Years Ago · · Score: 5, Funny

    But why should we assume a uniform rate over time, when evolutionary theory says that genetic differentiation happens in leaps and bounds?

    Sources should always be cited when making this kind of argument. I'll do it for you this time:

  9. Re:Time to get more familiar with PostgreSQL on European Commission Approves Oracle-Sun Merger · · Score: 1

    Because of the huge userbase mysql has, compared to oracle express edition where 50% of users have tried it once and dropped it, while the other one is an oracle employee?

  10. Re:Blame Firefox on Bing To Become Default iPhone Search? · · Score: 1

    Firefox goes that extra mile because webpages might lead you somewhere else than they actually pretend to lead you ...

    And how does stopping you from copying the url in the href by replacing it with the url where javascript would redirect you helps at all, when you do want to go to the href url?

  11. Re:So from what I can gather... on Human Males Evolve At a Faster Pace Than Females · · Score: 1

    One can only hunt deer for so long before an accident befalls one's genitals.

    A friend of mine actually lost a ball on a barbed wire while drunk.

  12. Re:At last... on Human Males Evolve At a Faster Pace Than Females · · Score: 1

    In my family, except my parents generation almost all siblings are same-sex.
    I have 2 brothers, and my cousins are 3 brothers, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 2 sisters again and 3 sisters. same with my 2nd degree cousins, 6 families with only girls and 1 exception with 2 girls and a boy.

    I believe some people are more likely to have one sex than the other... but that it's mostly randomness.

  14. Re:wellll. on Man Uses Drake Equation To Explain Girlfriend Woes · · Score: 1

    If he's trying to find one that's super hot...[and] not a deranged bitch

    You realize you described something less likely than alien life with just these two requirements, right?

    no need for the first one: "not a deranged bitch" is enough to cross off nearly all the female population of earth.

  15. Not an asteroid? on 2010 AL30, Asteroid Or Space Junk, To Pay a Close Visit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't a man-made space objet, like a satellite, much easier to detect than a piece of rock because it's all metally and shiny (except in the case of a secret orbtial space station with climate laser weapons used for the supremacy of an evil overlord ready to conquier the world, but it seems unlikely such a thing would just fall out of its orbit)?

    If so, it doesn't really tell us anything about detecting a earth-crushing meteor far before the impact.

  16. Re:No Star Wars game will ever compare to TIE FIGH on BioWare Targeting Spring 2011 For Star Wars: The Old Republic Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    hmm.... X-Wing is older than Tie Fighter.
    Do you mean X-Wing VS Tie Fighter when you write "X-wing FIGHTER"?

    Anyway, these games were pretty cool but the Wing Commander series is superior in all points, if not why would Luke Skywalker be in it?

  19. Re:Open cloud vs Facebook, Google, Twitter on Mozilla Starts To Follow a New Drumbeat · · Score: 2, Informative

    And I forgot i wanted to say something:
    Unite may or may not grow to be the "next big thing" in social networking, but once the mozzilla community develop an equivalent for firefox while passing the idea as theirs, it sure will.

  20. Re:Open cloud vs Facebook, Google, Twitter on Mozilla Starts To Follow a New Drumbeat · · Score: 1

    That's where Opera unite is interesting: potentially, it can be equivalent to most social networking applications, while keeping your data on your computer.
    There are still a number of difficulties, such as the fact that a bunch of (more or less) basic social functionnalities is missing, and the problem that most home computers aren't up 24/7, but it's worth looking at.

  22. Lottery analogy on How Earth Avoided a Fiery Premature Death · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From the viewpoint of the lottery winner, it always look like destiny: "if my birthdate is the winning numbers, I must be special in some way".

    From an outside viewpoint, some random guy won lottery because when millions of tickets are bought, there's a high probability that someone checked the winning numbers.

    Difference is, in the case of a planet not forming, there's no exterior viewpoint: losers and non-players simply don't exist.
