    I'm honestly sick of analogies like this.

    Agreed, a car with a breathalyzer analogy would have been more appropriate.
    - somehow.

  2. Whats next - System32 ? on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 1

    Another set of developers who are to lazy to learn the intricacies of a software and decide to "rewrite". I guess there *was* a reason for Redhat to dump the desktop side.

  3. Re:Also, people are dying on Retailers Respond To HDD Squeeze By Limiting Purchases, Raising Prices · · Score: 1

    Next time write your own article - send it to Dr. Phill.
    I just made 25% on STX stock this week. (and I don't need any drives right now.) In two weeks other plants will cover this "shortage".
    I don't live in a flood zone, so I don't even pay flood insurance, much less die in floods. If you want to save humanity have them move the freakin HDD factory back to my neighborhoods industrial park and I will gladly work there. p.s. - not New Orleans.
    Capitalism is about making the right choices, not crying about the wrong ones.

    Suddenly container ships look dirt cheap.

    Container ships are dirt cheap compared to rail, about 3x more efficient. Compounded by the fact , like you say, where rail exists.
    Cool idea and all, but i'm not seeing it.

    I am a christian too. But I would say it slightly differently.

    Look again.
    These guys may rely on fear and intimidation, but they don't make this shit up. If your former employee dropped the dime on you, he didn't do it so he would go to jail for lying. He did it to screw you over. I would bet he knows something you don't. Hell - he could have put the stuff on there himself. It's time to wipe all your machines and re-audit them. While your waiting for that to get done, you can pretty much tell them to FOAD. Next time give your employees a better severance package.

    Contrary to overwhelming corroborating opinion, the sun, while not super massive, is not an "average star" - being more massive than about 80% of others. Look it up in a star catalog (instead of google)

    C02 in the atmosphere absorbs and emits infrared radiation back to the planet.

    scientific enterprise as a great tool for understanding both sides of the CO2 molecule - you seem to ignore the vector that radiates back into space.

    What the FBI needs to learn is that there is a vast difference between adding one's voice to a chorus and digital sit-in with Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and controlling a large botnet of infected computers. And yet both of these are punishable with exactly the same fine and sentence.

    Doesn't really matter where you stand on this one.

    Further back, the UK did the exact same thing within 150 years of its mercantile/colonization push. Spain did so before that.

    So by your argument, we in the U.S. should be speaking Spanish? ... Oh, wait...

    Which is why the immigrants in my family waited for the technology to improve. It wasn't like America (or Mars) is going anywhere. It'll be there when we're ready.
    Manned exploration of space (at this juncture) is absolutely captivating. - but incredibly stupid.

  19. Re:Obviously. on Gates: Not Much To Show For $5B Spent On Education · · Score: 2

    I am actually amazed at Gates, which part of this is not clear to him?

    This point seems the most salient. While I have huge admiration for Gates's philanthropy, it seems he doesn't quite have the hang of it. In fact his willingness to cede control over his wealth (throw it away, so to speak) instead of managing it wisely seems foolish and irresponsible. The proper way to administer a trust fund can't be beyond him. Or have I missed his point? The very fact that such a successful capitalist would support an antithetical method of socialism (or is it totalitarianism?) is mindless. His same investment applied to founding a college of programming and computer science would ensure his goals for the next century at least.

    It is "The Law (that) is an ass. But it is the individuals that make her so. Shifting responsibility from peoples actions (lawyers) to abstract philosophies (the law) is disingenuous.

If that's the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience -- by experience."

    It may take a couple more years before Missouri gets hammered by the feds for violating the Sherman anti trust act if they let this dog and pony show get away from them. They were put on notice years ago that their state law is too vague. Even if legalzoom loses and pays 15 mil in damages, they will probably make it up in free ads and new revenue.

    Kompozer css editor is still free, so it is only being replaced to the degree that you are willing to abandon free software and use a comparatively horrible license like your CSS Pro Editor imposes.
    I still do most of my direct editing in Seamonkey's composer and switch to Notepad++ when things get large. IDE's for me are more trouble than they are worth. (although it occurs to me my website rerflects that)

  24. This is why working for other people is fun/sucks on Solar Powered Laptops · · Score: 1

    Samsung has been pursuing solar power for more than two years, at the insistence of the company's owner Lee Kun-hee. Despite failing to find a marketable application for the technology so far, Samsung is hopeful the solar-powered netbook could give it an edge in the emerging African market.

    this is a case where we need to keep certain manufacturing jobs overseas and far away from the U.S.
