  1. So the gist of the article is..... on Why My Team Went With DynamoDB Over MongoDB · · Score: 4, Informative

    MongoDB would have been perfect based on the structure of the data, but the client didn't want to pay for setup and hosting costs, DynamoDB was the cheaper alternative, but more of a pain in the ass to implement. Makes we wonder if the hosting cost savings offset the additional development time.

  2. I 3 RvB on Red Vs. Blue Final Episode Airs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Best exchange of the entire series was in Episode 20 when the doc showed up:

    Doc: I'm a pacifist.
    Caboose: You're a thing that babies suck on?
    Tucker: No dude, that's a pedophile.
    Church: Tucker, I think he means a pacifier.
    Tucker: Oh yeah, right. I was totally thinking about something else.

  3. Atari 400 - best of both worlds on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Mine first cmputer was an Atari 400 that my dad bought in 1981. He could do programming on it, and I could play video games (Star Raiders was the sh!t). I wrote my forst program in BASIC that year too.

    10 PRINT HI
    20 GOTO 10

    I can still hear the screech of loading programs off of cassette tape.....good times.....

  4. late to the game on Microsoft Officially Announces Anti-Virus Product · · Score: 1

    Once again, Bill and Steve are going to try to play catch up and use their dominance to position yet another product they've bought and repackaged. I can only imagine the conversation in Bill's office:

    Bill: "Steve, these viruses are killing us...."
    Steve: "I know...hey we should find a way to make some money off of this!"
    Bill: "Brilliant! We should buy up some anti-virus program no one's heard of and repackage it!"
    Steve: "Brilliant!"

  5. Re:You'd think that with that many servers... on Community, OSL and Sun Jump to Drupal's Rescue · · Score: 1

    they're still on the old box genius. The new boxen have been ordered and the new Sun box that was donated by a drupal user at Sun is already there.

    Jesus, you'd think some people would take the time to actually READ a little bit.....

  6. Re:The name confused me 100% on Community, OSL and Sun Jump to Drupal's Rescue · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's because drupal has their own development infrastructure and does not use sourceforge's services. Just because a project isn't hosted on sourceforge doesn't mean its not relevant. I switched to drupal from Post-Nuke about 6 months ago and will never go back.

  7. Re:Why must... on First look at new Battlestar Galactica Episodes · · Score: 1

    or on CBC every Tuesday at 8pm

    I live in WA, but get CBC via Comcast anyway

  8. a setup? on Microsoft to Support Linux in Virtual Server · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For some reason, I've got a bad feeling that this is just all one big scheme and that M$ is going to purposely make linux run horribly under Virtual Server (ala their antitrust antics of old) so they can now have a shining example for the uninformed of how muc better Windows is than linux....

    now where's that tinfoil hat....

  9. red vs blue on Web Comics Make The Small Screen · · Score: 1

    why has no one mentioned Red vs Blue?

    Even for the layperson, its hilarious.

  10. sure...that will get the customers running..... on SCO Linux Licenses Could Increase In Price · · Score: 3, Insightful

    last time i checked:

    anything * 0 = 0

    maybe they are just going to charge their UnixWare customers an extra $1400 when they bundle in the 'Linux IP' license

  11. Re:*cough* on PeopleAggregator - An Open Source Social Network · · Score: 1

    at least he had some initiative to get off his ass and create an open source implementation of something proprietary. i had been wanting to run a social network for a particular niche group and extend some of the basic stuff you can do in friendster. now i can do that....

  12. Re:watching the slashdot effect take place on Matrix Revolutions Trailer Released · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Neither CS nor CIS: MATH on CS vs CIS · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what languages you learn while you are in school, its the programing concepts and logic you gain while learning those languages that are valuable. Learning a new language isn't that hard once you have the basic concepts behind fundamental programming. We were taught C++ in our intro courses, but all of our later courses required us to do projects in C or Java. I haven't used C or C++ once since graduating and have learned 5-6 other languages in the 2 years I've been out.

    If you were paying attention, dummy, this is being developed in KOREA, so I believe the "chicken scratch" you are referring to is Korean.....
