  1. Re:Ruby and Node.js (Javascript) on Which Language To Learn? · · Score: 1

    Partly yes, but mostly because people using git are highly biased towards other "new" and "hip" things.

  2. Bug in channel 216? on Broadcom Releases Source Code For Drivers · · Score: 1

    Is this a bug in phy/wlc_phy_cmn.c? Channel 216 doesn't follow the pattern set forth above it -- or is channel 216 really at presumably 50.8GHz instead of 5.08GHz?

  3. Re:Makes me wonder, too on Why Mozilla Is Committed To Using Gecko · · Score: 1

    I'm seeing the same thing, ALL the time. I've been getting it for a few months with FF2, and I just upgraded to FF3 and it has gotten worse...

  4. Re:They'll just change the system on FCC To Hold Hearings On Early Termination Fees · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No one participating in this examination thinks that the fees will go away completely and still get to keep the free phone concept. That's just silly. What you've described actually sounds like exactly what *should* be happening. As it is now, they charge the extra fees per month (in the form of markup), but nothing gets "paid down" on your loan, and if you cancel even a day before your contract is up you owe the full amount of the "loan". As a bonus, since the plans are priced suitably for the companies to make back their "loans", even if you don't take their "loan" you still get to pay extra. I would love to see the government regulate that companies structure their agreements in a fair and equitable fashion as above.

  5. Re:Typical. on IBM Responds to Overtime Lawsuits With 15% Salary Cut · · Score: 1

    Remember, salary is relative to where you live. Living in the SF Bay Area in California and earning $80k means you very much do have to worry about making rent. :)

  6. Re:Great news on Sun Buys MySQL · · Score: 1

    You're moderately insane. BDB has *never* been a good option for MySQL. It has sucked from day 1.

  7. Re:A serious question on USB 3.0's New Jacks and Sockets · · Score: 1

    My firewire hard drive would tend to disagree, as does Wikipedia: "Its six-wire cable is more flexible than most Parallel SCSI cables and can supply up to 45 watts of power per port at up to 30 volts, allowing moderate-consumption devices to operate without a separate power supply."

  8. Interivewed because of Dell IdeaStorm post on Dell's Linux, IT Re-Invention · · Score: 2

    Since I got interviewed for the article and then quoted in the Slashdot summary, I thought I'd pipe in... I was interviewed by Agam because of my post to Dell's IdeaStorm site about the PERC 5/i RAID controller:

    Leverate LSI to Open Source MegaCli — Dell is using LSI's chipset (LSI MegaRAID SAS) in the PERC 5/i controller, but the tools to manage it are closed source and really suck. Vote on it NOW! :)

  9. Re:No rotational speed spec. on Western Digital Touts New 'Green' Drives · · Score: 1

    You can tell based on the seek time of 8.9ms, that it's around 7200rpm mean.
