  1. Missing dog head by Captain+Zion · · Score: 2 · on YETI@Home
    What "Bob" Dobbs then learned is a matter of Church,
    for he fell to the ground with a stumbly lurch,
    and he spouted and ranted and started to shout,
    "THE X-ISTS ARE COMING! ALL YOU YETIS, GET OUT!"

    For "Bob" learned that the Yeti were the original race,
    and the humans came later, and there went the place!
    They both were created by creatures from space.

    The genes of the Yeti to this day survive
    in those called SubGenius, those few left alive,
    who are different as different as different can be.
    Do you think one is you? I know one is me!

  2. Re:Aww gee. by nyet · · Score: 2 · on Gates Steps Down As CEO, Ballmer In

    That's Paul Allen and Davidoff, not Bill.

    Bill was his "agent", and coded very little.

    Bill contribution to the software industry is limited to this letter.

  3. You are thinking of Paul Allen by nyet · · Score: 2 · on Gates Steps Down As CEO, Ballmer In

    That Bill G. is an even marginally talented programmer is a common misperception, even among geeks.

    Paul Allen (a very GOOD hacker at the time) did most of the Altair work.

    At most Bill acted as Allen's "agent". He was the one angling to make sure he (and Allen) made money off of Allen's skills. Witness his now infamous "big foot" letter to Altair hobbiests, regarded now as the start of retail software sales. That is Bill Gates' primary legacy to computing, not any real programming.

  4. Re:You all Linux loser by nyet · · Score: 1 · on Windows CE going Open Source?

    No, no, no, you meant:

    "Please to be waiting, until you seeing source!"

  5. So Not Flowing Loudspeaker by Mr_Plow · · Score: 2 · on Lost in the Translation

    This post has been translated into German via Babelfish, and then translated back into English
    This reminds of me something fun, which I had a while rear side with some friends. By translating simply all my email with babelfish translated into another language (normally German) and back into our native tongue, you are left with an approximate value of the so not flowing loudspeaker. Granted, he is not necessarily in the best taste, but we are not necessarily the most diplomatic bundle of the people. More info at FOBONICS

  10. Translation of jscript code on game page to C... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Typical Misinterpretation Of "Hacker"

    Ok I made a quicky translation of that javascript into C. I am done for now. One of you "real" "Hackers" have at it.

    Notice that PI is used once in expandKey, and after that all sig-figs are lost in the %256 bit.

    I dont know why they used PI at all... they could have just as easily used 3.14
