  1. Re:If only Obama knew.... on What Happened To Obama's Open Source Adviser? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I think I'm one of the only people who voted for Obama and knew this from the beginning. I knew he'd support Hollywood because that's what Dems do. I knew he'd cater to the Unions because that's what Dems do. Anyone surprised by the slow pullout of Iraq and the beefing up of forces in Afghanistan wasn't watching the campaign very closely.

    All in all I've been generally happy with his performance. One of the only unhappy surprises I got was the entire GM "Thing."

    As you said Open Source is so low on his priority list I won't be surprised if he simply never even gets to it (with a full 8 years).

  2. Re:Government is Clueless about Business on Companies Skeptical of Commercial Space Market · · Score: 1

    1) Our elected representative pushing policies we do not agree with is NOTHING like what caused the original Tea Party.

    2) A general lack of understanding in the Party. All party's have fools who spout rhetoric, but I've yet to hear a thought out position from a Tea Partier.

    Perhaps it's all media coverage, but their general strong support for Palin makes that hard to believe.

  3. Re:So in other words... on Political Viewpoints Linked To Fear · · Score: 1, Troll

    The most amusing part of your post is that you did it as Anonymous Coward.

  4. Re:Good news! on SGI Releases OpenGL As Free Software · · Score: 1

    All polygons for standard computer graphics (like when you use 3D in OpenGL) are made up of triangles. So two triangles are needed to create a rectangle.

  5. Re:ooohhhh on SpaceX Launch Failure Due To Timing Problem · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You were modded interesting instead of funny? Maybe there are less programmers on /. than I thought.

  6. Re:Class action suit brought by WoW players.... on AT&T Could Cut Off P2P Users · · Score: 2, Interesting

    OP was referring to WoW using bit torrent to distribute updates.
