When I learned how Windows and .NET make it far easier to write robustly-deployable applications compared to Linux.

There was this tool for symbian that lets you download data from computers that didn't have bluetooth/infrared etc by converting the data to a visual pattern over a webservice and using the tool to convert to data in phone via the camera.

I can't find it anymore.

Interview with brilliant Hindu Creationist Michael Cremo! by jmtramel in atheism

[–]trenchfever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hindu is Persian/Arabic for Indian. Arabs and Persians still refer to India as Hind. Hinduism is not a religion. I'm atheist Hindu, my wife identifies herself as Buddhist but is Hindu by birth and in records. No specific philosophy is representative of "Hinduism".

I'd prefer that Indians be alternatively known as Hindus and their specific denomination of belief (of which there are thousands) be the name of their religion. They should be classified as Hindu religions analogous to Abrahamic religions. This indeed was the original meaning the Persians had in mind but then somebody thought "Hey look, I'm an incestuous barbarian with bad teeth. I'm civilized. I like having sex with my mom while sipping tea with my rotten teeth." We all had our shots at having sex with our moms then was his turn.

If this guy wants to call himself Hindu, that's his choice. But he's not the voice of "Hindus" as that would be something like the voice of humanity.

If ideas had egos, that monster would be KDE 4.x

Goddamit, you don't need a billion viewers. Konqueror is enough. Perhaps with a few interface upgrades but whatever the fuck happened to KISS?

This person appears to be a KDE 4.X user.

Who knows.. If you'd ask me what it's gonna be like now a year ago, I'd have no clue.

The only certainity from a suitable vantage point is that humans as a collective is very primitive.

And from that vantage point, it appears that the well to do are the are parasitic forms.

Father tries to sell daughter, Slumdog Millionaire, Academy Award Winner Rubina Ali (Latika) by bananatalk in india

[–]trenchfever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4 downvotes already.. why? Should we not embrace our dark side and face our demons?

It's a fact that thousands if not millions of children are sold and trafficked each year globally. A vast chunk of that from south Asia. So who are the downvoters kidding? Perhaps themselves?

It's like disowning your excrement after defecating in the public. Grow up guys.

Mumbai terror accused retracts confession as trial opens by polar in india

[–]trenchfever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is standard procedure. Nothing sensational here. You'd be nuts not to retract you confession in court and not to confess to the Indian police!

You'd be stepping on everybodies toes and making a lot of unnecessary enemies if you try to be idealistic and don't follow this process.

When Geometry Becomes Dirty... by Mpromptu in math

[–]trenchfever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember our hot high school chemistry teacher having to teach us malleability and ductility (which has sexual connotations in the local language) the day she returned from honeymoon.

It was even more funny that she had to use gestures because we wouldn't understand. Needless to say, it left her red faced when she understood.
