  1. Re:Facebook on Golden Age of Silicon Valley Is Over With Facebook IPO · · Score: 1

    Talking the other day about how kids are becoming alienated from FB because their parents are so pervasive on it. They (teenagers) want a separate identity established AWAY from their parents, and that is getting infringed on FB now. Should be interesting.

    You mention Kardashians's ass and I have totally forgotten what we were talking about..................Oh yeah, FB is good and all, but I have one complaint in that it doesn't match me with people I don't know, but who have my same interests. I know a bunch of people I have nothing in common with, and I feel that if it is to be a real service to the world it should help me make new connections in a more efficient way than it does now.

    Boy are you lucky. The train-wreck audio problem was ONE of the reasons I had to dump Ubu11 and all of its variants. I tried to get off of Windows, but alas, it was not to be. Are you running the 64bit (Not Recommended) distro?

    Furthermore, if you realize in what context you are working and the scope of your calculations, you can always use floating point, or double.

    You are an idiot. Please cite an example where someone lost any money using floating point. Oh, Im Sorry, here's your penny back. What a douche.

    Yeah, its like Visual Basic. You use it for a simple task, and before you know people are fucking building enterprise applications with it. Let's keep the computers exact, I need to be able to rely on something in this life.

    Missing the point. If you want to make the application available and cross-platform it needs to be browser-based. True, there are a lot of problems, but this is such an important factor that we are obviously going ahead with the paradigm. People want flashy dynamic web sites in addition applications.Most of the discontent I see here is from exposure to websites which take on rather unnecessary bling or spamability. I view Javascript as a way to enhance, or make possible, certain features in a web app. The thought of using javascript for navigation and menus on a regular site has always turned me off. When the code runs into the thousands of lines you have to ask yourself if it is truly worth it.
