  1. Re:Please don't link to Gizmodo on Why Russian Space Images Look Different From NASA's · · Score: 1

    same here with gizmodo fr, but there are links just under the top banner for several other versions. I clicked "US", got redirected to the us front page, then re-clicked the link in TFS and got the article.

    I think this link: http://us.gizmodo.com/#!5787176/this-is-the-moon-and-the-earth-like-you-have-never-seen-them-before should get you to the article no matter where you are.

    And technically, my H came too early.

  3. Duke Nukem Forever Delayed - For the first time on Duke Nukem Forever Gets Delayed - Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Thecnically, there was never a release date before the game was handed over to Gearbox, so it had never suffered any delay before this one.

    I can't wait to run up walls and pass through vaginal doors!

    I like how the title of the linked page mentions female vagina. Is there any other kind?

  6. Re:Yeah seriously, WTF??? on Drupal 8 Development Begins — 15 Bugs At a Time · · Score: 1

    I'm looking at Drupal and Joomla now as a stopgap between WP and 100% customer work - so far, I think Joomla is going to win.

    This would be a big mistake.

    Joomla is tempting at first because it's easy to begin with, but it's going to break as soon as you try to do real work with it.

  7. Re:Yeah seriously, WTF??? on Drupal 8 Development Begins — 15 Bugs At a Time · · Score: 1

    So there are a lot more Drupal advocates on /. why? Drupal is harder than than WP so when I don't feel up to battling with my Drupal module code I come here. I might come here after just installing a few module upgrades for a rest and to drum up some new business. Drupal is more work for the same result so it gets more attention.

    Wordpress is easier because it is not a "real" CMS, just a glorified blog engine with a few CMS features. Sure, if your projet is within what wordpress can do, there's no reason to use drupal instead.

    But a lot of sites need features beyond what wordpress can offer, and that's where you want drupal or another cms.

    And if your site need a different structure from that of a cms, the next step is frameworks.

  9. Re:It's NOT SPACE on Low Budget Air Space Photography · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's space.
    It's just not outer space. But the news never claimed that they reached outer space.

    I just reached space bar six times.

  10. Re:So i guess the privacy browsing feature on Mozilla Adds Do-Not-Track Feature To Firefox 4 Pre-Beta Builds · · Score: 2

    Firefox's private browsing is the worst among the main browsers. In opera you can open a private tab alongside your other tabs, chrome opens a private window, but firefox is the only one to close all your current tabs when you want private browsing.

  11. Re:HTML compliance is for wankers on The Abdication of the HTML Standard · · Score: 1

    The proper way is to use a span with class="blink" and do the blinking in javascript.

  12. Re:CSS is horrible for table layouts on The Abdication of the HTML Standard · · Score: 1

    floats are not meant for doing layouts.
    using floats for even fairly simple layouts almost always results in horrible hacks.
    Floats should be used for 2 cases:
      - you want to illustrate some text with an image (or a box, block, table...), and you want the text to fill the space on the side of it, then resume to full available width under it.
      - you have several boxes (or images or whatever) that you want to place side by side, filling the available horizontal space, then continue on a new line when there's no space available.

    the only proper way to build layouts is css tables. but it doesn't work on IE. I guess it's not possible to do web design without horrible hacks.

  13. 318 pixels wide? really? on LibreOffice 3.3 Released Today · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Do you fear that someone stuck in 1986 with a 320x240 display would have to scroll horizontally?

  14. Re:I wonder what the reaction will be... on Facebook To Make Facebook Credits Mandatory For Games · · Score: 1

    Facebook can ask for as big a cut as they want and developers have to bend over or look for another job.

    And the bigger the cut, the more they will chose the latter option over the former.

    I just tried a few searches... a lot of relevant results on non-business sites are tagged as spam, while junk results on business sites are tagged as relevant.

    Looks like you need a little more work.

  18. Re:Successful game on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 1

    This is a big problem in Fable III (I never played the first two, so I don't know about them).

    A lot of the communication about the game was based on the fact that the player had important choices to make, and that it changed the world of the game a lot.

    After seeing that the choices were all "Press red button to be evil, blue button to be good" and that the changes were almost only graphic, I never touched the game again because there was no point.

    ok, thanks for the clarification.

  20. Re:Successful game on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 2

    When the cutscenes ended, I was rocking in my chair, eyes wide, heart pounding

    I call that a successful RPG game/experience & I wish most cRPG's were like this. If I want linear storyline, I'll pick an FPS

    If I understand correctly, the event was unavoidable, so this part of the storyline is indeed linear.

    Idiot.

    And only if the individuals less adapted to this environment are killed / not allowed to breed. If there is no natural selection and no artificial selection, apparition of a new species is very unlikely.

  22. Re:KDE for Windows? on Interview With KDE On Windows Release Manager Patrick Spendrin · · Score: 4, Informative

    Because sometimes, you want to launch a kde software on windows.

    As a web developer, I used a few years ago, before virtualisation was as usable as now, because I had to work on windows to be able to test sites on internet explorer. And I had a client who wanted his site to be tested on every browser including konqueror, so I used kde on windows to test his site on konqueror (then I explained to my boss why it was a bad idea to sell "tested in konqueror" web sites, and never used kde on windows again)

  23. Re:No, NOT Star Wars on Star Wars Coming To Blu-ray In September · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have seen them. And no, they didn't do a lot more than retouches. There's no "unwatchable" scene because of "distracting" CGI. It fits nicely into the background, like it should. The reason you get distracted is because you're looking for reasons to hate, not because they are actually distracting.

    Have you seen Jabba's scene in A newh hope?

    Apple today released Mac OS X 10.6.6 which which [sic] increases the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac

    Looks like CmdrTaco has been studying at the Fox News School of Journalistic Neutrality. I believe the preferred formulation would be,

    "Apple today released Mac OS X 10.6.6 which Apple claims 'increases the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac'".

    So, Apple admits their previous OS was unstable, incompatible and insecure?
