  1. Re:Unnecessary abstraction on Excel 2007 Multiplication Bug · · Score: 1

    Funny enough, I did it (in like 5 sec) and it gives me the correct answer: 65535.
    We already have enough info here for the folks at MS to find and fix the bug. We already know it is related to 32bit numbers in the multiply routine.

  2. Re:Check a C multiply on that machine... on Excel 2007 Multiplication Bug · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I _DON'T_ see the bug on my XV6600, running Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Ed with Pocket Excel.

  3. Re:An interesting thought experiment on Journalist Test Drives The Pain Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but this time to create a crowd, not disband one...

  4. Re:For Linux..... on Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like? · · Score: 0, Troll

    He did a mistake. He did not pull the trigger before the guy called the cops. Had he done that, he would have helped to clean up the messy society we have today.
    But of course, thats not the solution.

  5. Re:Hmmmm... Selfmade solution? on Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like? · · Score: 1

    No, that would be like the fisherman selling the boat to get food, not fuel.

  6. Re:$5 says... on Another Man Dies After Marathon Gaming Session · · Score: 1

    If that were true, then whomever moved his body out of the internet cafe did a huge mistake. Can you imagine going back to the cafe in spirit form and NOT finding your body?

  7. Re:DOS 5 was GREAT! on DOS 5 Upgrade Video · · Score: 1

    FreeDOS does not rock. It can't play an old game I like that runs under "DOS 4GW", but, heck, neither can DOS 6.22. Have to install Win98 unfortunately.

  8. Re:Sure on PHP5 Vs. CakePHP Vs. RubyOnRails? · · Score: 1

    I really like http://www.typo3.com/TYPO3 (based on PHP5). Fast, feature-rich (but not bloated imo) with a good user base. Extensions help with stuff you might need or, at least, coding examples. Oh, and has been here for like 8 years or something if I remember correctly.

  9. Re:Terrorist.....who???? on Air Force Mistakenly Transports Live Nukes Across America · · Score: 1

    Well, they may have been picked up by terrorists and stolen for a few hours and almost made it out of the country. That would be FAR worse. I think that nowadays the biggest problem the terrorists have is not getting a nuke, but getting the nuke into the US.
    Why would they bother take the nuke outside the US? They would probably head to Google.com, search for "Overriding warhead control" and hit "I'm feeling lucky".
  10. Re:Copying is OK on Nokia's iPhone, No Seriously · · Score: 1

    The analogy is incorrect. It would only be correct if instead of copying the MP3 file, the kid would record his own music that sounded REALLY close to the original one.
    It is very hard to correctly make an analogy between a material thing and a series of bits...

  11. iPhones on US Teen Trades Hacked iPhone for Nissan 350Z · · Score: 1

    People are confusing here. He won 3 8gig iPhones besides the car. Not 8 iPhones, only 3 of em. So, no worth it.

  12. Re:For once on US Teen Trades Hacked iPhone for Nissan 350Z · · Score: 2

    Am I the only one that reads this TFA and TFS as The Fucking Article and The Fucking Summary? I know it is The Full Article, but still, got used to it.

  13. Ohhhh on Mark Russinovich On Vista Network Slowdown · · Score: 1

    Now I understand that when Gates said "640k should to be enough for anybody" he meant the network throughput!

  14. Re:theory and practice on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 1

    Yeah. It purposely breaks your arm. It is being recalled because in like 1000 plays, the machine won in only 3...

  15. Re:John Carmack: I'm a software architect on Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace Rocket Crashes and Burns · · Score: 1

    I`m sure he has someone with that degree in his team.
    Besides, it`s not like you can`t be successful unless you have a degree. This reminds me of a speech that Steve Jobs gave at a graduation in Stanford. He started with "I never finished college...".

  16. Re:semi-transparent... on Google Launches First YouTube Ads · · Score: 1

    Of course they know, and that`s why it is transparent: subtitles and other useful information, although I seriously doubt that striping away thing.

  17. Re:Ah, I miss the web 1.0 days on Google Launches First YouTube Ads · · Score: 1

    So good luck google, but remember one thing, you got big because people NO longer were prepared to put up with the crud laden, ad riddled sites of previous search engines. Exactly. And thats where Google wins, because they've managed to get revenue from ads in the search market without annoying people.
    Based on that I truly believe that Google is going to change YouTube into a profiting market without being like the others, "crud laden"* video sites.

    I wish I had mod points.

  19. Re:Yawn. on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1

    What I'm slightly more interested in is how they're blocking the main page. It's not the same as the script that they're pushing; the page actually loads (you can view the source in FF), but it seems to take advantage of some rendering quirk in IE to produce a blank screen when rendered on Firefox. That actually strikes me as a little more subtle, although it's still dumb.
    So not only they are dumbasses for blocking FireFox users, they are dumbasses for wasting bandwith to send us a page and a lot of information that simply won`t render?
    Dumbasses.

    You`re talking about Microsoft Windows?

  21. Re:Ozone production FTW on New Chip-cooling Technology · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Now if we could only find a way to take all the produced ground level O3 (Ozone) and put it in the upper atmosphere.
    Maybe the series of tubes we use nowadays for the internet can help. And then we would have an internet link close to the outer space!
  22. Re:Deliberate theft? on Server with Top-Secret Data Stolen · · Score: 1

    I`m glad you cleared that out. I thought the guy stole it to get the Windows product key in that server.

  24. Comfort on Safest Seat on a Plane, Or How to Survive a Crash · · Score: 2, Funny

    From TFA: "So when the "experts" tell you it doesn't matter where you sit, have a chuckle and head for the back of the plane. And once your seatbelt is firmly fastened, relax: There's been just one fatal jet crash in the U.S. in the last five-plus years."

    Thats good to know, specially when I live in Brazil.

    Well, if I endup in that situation, I`m doing what it says unless someone shows me other things to try. It`s not like what is going to kill me is those tips...
