    "The Germans almost pulled this off in the 1940's" <-- You mean US and Germans, right?

  2. tranferring to Namecheap? on The GoDaddy Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    I might as well. But NOT TODAY - why put such a strain on their services...

  3. Re:SQL too on Java Apps Have the Most Flaws, Cobol the Least · · Score: 1

    BHB for true symmetrical redundancy.

    I think OHO would be even better... Or, OOO. But, of course, if you really want true symmetrical mufti-dimensional redundancy, then you have to go with just O

  4. Re:RIP Skype on Skype Goes After Reverse-Engineering · · Score: 5, Informative

    Skype was like this long before Microsoft. Fring supported video calls to Skype clients for several months, then Skype blocked it: http://blog.fring.com/en/?p=2322

  5. not music on "World's Most Relaxing Music" Composed · · Score: 1

    This is white noise. Or generated sound. I wouldn't call it "music" if it's composed using science instead of talent and inspiration...

    women are now returning to computer science

    Where?!!!

  7. Re:I always thought... on Germany Considers Banning Wild Facebook Parties · · Score: 1

    Not sure towing would work... Germany is more compact/urban, they have real public transportation and use it (unlike us here in the US).

  8. USPS on Mail Service Costs Netflix 20x More Than Streaming · · Score: 1

    ...could try becoming an alternative ISP. The one where public interests count...

    Three questions:
    1. Did the premiums not go up last year (or the year before last)?
    2. If "Yes" on the previous - did the premiums go up faster this year then before?
    3. Do you really expect a reform of such proportion to have an immediate effect?

  13. Re:My excuse on Sitting Down Too Long Is Bad Even If You Exercise · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I biked to work couple times, but then decided not to. The problem is - you share the road with *cars*. So, unless there is a dedicated bike trail or a separate bike lane, it is simply too dangerous. First: the drivers do not want to share the road with a slow moving object - not only bikes, but even seniors for example. Fortunately for seniors, they are usually inside very big and somewhat safe cars. Bicyclists are not. Second: chances of staying intact in an accident for a bicyclist are much lower compared to those of a car driver/passenger. Now, let's combine the first and the second... And I haven't even started with bad weather, visibility issues or intentional desire to hurt a bicyclist (ugly, but possible).

    The Strippers Motion Association of America holds a copyright on those. But there still might be a way to capture that data live for $20 or so...

  17. Re:Deliberately bad? on Offset Bad Code, With Bad Code Offsets · · Score: 1

    Can give it as a gift, then - you purchase this offset so that somebody else can deliberately write bad code.
