  1. wubi ? on Ubuntu 8.04 Beta Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    To ease the transition of Windows users, it includes Wubi, which allows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows application. That's just great ... Ubuntu like any other Windows application. I am losing faith in humanity
  2. Cry for help on Yahoo Seeking Partnership With News Corp. · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What Yahoo is trying to say is : "Anything but Microsoft. ANYTHING !"

  3. Re:Just burn it? on Methane-Eating Bacteria Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I have been enlightened. It's not the pimped out SUV's that go 2 miles to the gallon that are ruining our planet. It's those damn cows that are farting all day long instead of doing something useful like recycling.

  4. Re:Compelling, indeed on How-To On Ajax Code To Show Movies and Slide Shows · · Score: 1

    What if you are one out of one hundred that does that ? The first thing I learned as a web developer was tot treat the average user as a stupid being that does has no idea what he's doing. How do you let that user know that you're presenting a simple CSS fluid layout that respects the standards, and does not use flashy useless animations ... movies ... slideshows ? The average user wants to see ajax on every single block on your page, javascript animations, flash movies .... There's nothing you can do as a developer but compromise yourself and give the idiots what they want.

  5. Not kidding on NASA Offering $2 Million Prize for Lunar Lander · · Score: 1

    The space agency today said it will offer $2 million in prizes if competing teams can successfully build a lunar lander
    And with this promise ... space exploration projects go open source
  6. Re:Stop the insanity. on Microsoft Releases IIS FastCGI Module · · Score: 1

    Then why not go Microsoft all the way and swap PHP for ASP.NET?
    So that you still have some dignity left
  7. Re:Stop the insanity. on Microsoft Releases IIS FastCGI Module · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Sometimes you don't have a choice. If the client wants Windows, IIS, MSSQL, PHP (WIMP), who are you to argue ?

  8. Re:Embrace, extend... evolve on Microsoft Joins OpenAjax Alliance · · Score: 0

    Developers will soon have to pay big bucks to use ajax technologies. It's the Microsoft way.

  9. Re:A question of "R" vs "D" on Is Computer Science Dead? · · Score: 0

    where is the next "Google" going to appear? Nowhere, never. Giant companies like Google and Microsoft are slowly (but surely) monopolising the industry. It is the small businesses that will probably die, and we'll all work for Microsoft as testers, and life will be good.

  10. Re:response from Turkey on Turkey Censors YouTube · · Score: 1

    HA HA ... South park rulz. I wonder ... do they have South Park in Turkey ?

  11. Re:zap... on First Retail Water-Cooled DDR2 Memory Tested · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Water cooling hardware will not become a widely used technology. This seems silly. Certainly there can be an easyer way.
