  1. Re:MariaDB link is incorrect on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the MySQL devs need a distributed version control system...

  2. The non-existant limb on Researchers Identify Phantom Limb Brain Activity · · Score: 0

    what's it thinking?

    And if it is thinking, doesn't that prove Descartes wrong?

  3. What you find interesting on Best Grad Program For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 1

    Do what you find interesting.
    Only that will ensure you'll do it right and get good+experienced in your area of work. Which will result in good income and enjoying your everyday work.

  4. Re:Great, another PHPNuke and Wordpress on Microsoft Launches Free Web Software Eco-System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It isn't apache (the webserver) that provides the comfort you describe. The package managing system is. So why should IIS (the webserver) die?
    Someone should provide a package managing system to enable the comfort for IIS. Oh, look at that, the summary says Microsoft is doing that.

  5. Re:Who asked for this? on Google Returns Chrome To Beta, Touts Speed Boost · · Score: 1

    That's a good question. Maybe for having a haskell-interpreter written in javascript.
    Imaging how you would address the dom-tree though ...

  6. Re:Dirk Fuchs? on 95M-Year-Old Octopus Fossils Discovered · · Score: 1

    Something like "deerk fooks", but with short vocals. And, depending on where in the german-speaking countries you are, you wouldn't use a k in Fuchs, but a ch. The English language doesn't have that, it is a x in IPA. Sounds like in this one, see here.

  7. Re:Legal Issues? on An Interview With the Developers of FFmpeg · · Score: 1

    There is this new thing on the internet, called "hyperlinks", so you don't have to copy content around anymore.
    Now I could link to a introduction, but that would probably confuse you. So:

    <<< imagine content of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink here >>>

  8. Re:Why not just block their ads? on Adbusters Suggests Click Fraud As Protest · · Score: 4, Funny

    Look mean while you press the button.

  9. Re:"Protest"? on Adbusters Suggests Click Fraud As Protest · · Score: 1

    replace with dumbtard (y/n/a/q/l/^E/^Y)?

  10. memory on IE8 May Be End of the Line For Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    Won't sandboxing be extremely memory-intense? Lots of processes not allowed to share resources?

  11. Re:My list of must haves... on Living Free With Linux, Round 2 · · Score: 1

    Decent accounting software. No I dont mean anything like the fake accounting software called quickbooks. I mean real accounting software. Everything linux based is designed for Point of sale and not a service industry, plus they are incredibly out of date. The last time I looked for Linux accounting apps the one canadian company that made a decent app sent me their demo that I saw back in 2004..

    Did you hear of Gnucash or is that in the fake-category?

  12. Re:Truly, does nobody use the Stop button? on 9 Browsers Compared For Speed and Features · · Score: 1

    It is on the top left of your keyboard.

    Yes, they call it IE7. :-P

  14. Re:IE7 Rules! on 9 Browsers Compared For Speed and Features · · Score: 2, Informative

    Um, anyone know where the Linux version of IE7 is?

    It is here: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page

    So many engines ...

  16. Re:Yes, PowerShell on Steve Bourne Talks About the History of Sh · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We should make a coreutils package that outputs XML, JSON or similar, so we don't need stupid cut/grep/head tricks anymore and can, for example, directly access a column, or sum stuff up.

    The last command in the pipe chain would output in a user-readable format.

  17. Re:But CER is government control on Why Doctors Hate Science · · Score: 1

    But this 'article' is just an idiotic rant. ..., but to paint everybody with the same brush and to dismiss detractors of CER is just immature.

    What? Are you implying that this new "Why X hates Y"-scheme can not be applied to any topic?
    I'm shocked.

  18. Re:Hey, thanks. on Are Windows 7 Testers Going Unheard? · · Score: 1

    The internet is built and written with Word. I always suspected.

  19. Re:annoyed on The Future of Google Chrome · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ISO standard is YYYY-MM-DD which I use for documents when I need it. Good for sorting.

  20. Re:Does CentOS or Fedora core work on these things on 1 of 3 Dell Inspiron Mini Netbooks Sold With Linux · · Score: 1

    Yum is a garbage package manager

    Why?

    their repositories contain little to nothing.

    Maybe you didn't enable the right repository to get third-party and cutting edge stuff? Usually distributors tend to be cautious and conservative about packages (less initial issues).

    Question is, is GP also a superset of NP ...

  24. Re:Very cool, but np-complete? on Found In Space (On Flickr) · · Score: 1

    It probably can be shown to be equivalent to the Clique problem.

    Maybe some approximating could do the task in P too, but that doesn't say anything about the constants in your Landau-estimation. Your NP algorithm may be way faster than your P algorithm ...

  25. Re:Very cool, but np-complete? on Found In Space (On Flickr) · · Score: 1

    If it is done in polynomial time, then it would by definition be in P which means it would NOT be NP complete unless P=NP.

    No, the N means it can only be calculated on a nondeterministic (Turing) machine in polynomial time. Common mistake.
