  1. Re:The best of luck! on Alan Cox Leaves Red Hat · · Score: 1

    This isn't IRC. You can't post it on bash.org.

  2. Re:WordPad exploitable? on Oops! Missed One Fix — Windows Attacks Under Way · · Score: 1

    Agreed. UAC is like sudo but without any short-term memory whatsoever (i.e. the 15-minute auto-OK).

  3. Re:SICP on Best Paradigm For a First Programming Course? · · Score: 1

    Aaaaaahh! Lisp! My eyes!

  4. You used Visual Studio without VC++? on What Programming Language For Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    Honestly, all the Windows code I've written is either C or C++. Including object-oriented stuff like stacks, queues, vectors, lists, etc.

    Granted, VC++ (as of VC8) lacks C99, it still compiles ANSI C89 code well enough. But I honestly am going to write a script to convert cl.exe options into gcc/mingw options as gcc/g++ pwns VC++.

    You are limited to ANSI C though. And C89 at that.

    While on the topic of Windows, I hate how *everything* that requires a reference in Windows is basically a void *. What happened to type-safety, Microsoft? THen again, I wouldn't be surprised.
    It's sort of like Java in that I fucking hate it (no pointers, gotos, templates (not generics), multiple inheritence, the other fun stuff in C++) but I find ways to work with it. I get the familiar PHP dirtiness feeling when even *looking* at it though.

    Anyways, program in C/C++. For simple things I use C. When I'm too lazy to implement half of STL in C, I use C++.
    In programming contests, I use both.

    Be careful though. Pointers and STL spoil you :P

    Well, media which is wrong even most of the time is still more accurate than ignorance.

    Egad! Is Fox news really more accurate than ignorance?

    PS3 doesn't use MIPS, it uses PowerPC.
    PS2 uses MIPS.

  10. Re:too late, I won't buy nvidia now on NVIDIA Releases New Video API For Linux · · Score: 1

    The opensource r300 (9600 - X850) driver has full 3D support (i.e. compiz works perfectly), apart from a bug where GARTSize needs to be manually set in xorg.conf lest your X borks due to running out of texture memory.

  13. Re:So how does this benefit anyone? on Secondlight, Microsoft's New Surface Prototype · · Score: 1

    It's advantageous for Microsoft: Ballmer can afford to throw Aeron chairs if enough people buy the Surface.

  14. How long on Secondlight, Microsoft's New Surface Prototype · · Score: 1

    On another note, will it run Vista Embedded?

    Denon's $500 ethernet cables, those $9000 "vacuum chamber" cables, etc.

    Oh, this is science, not technology.
    Still, they use edge cases of science to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ off of rich fanboys.
    In practice, the cable I mentioned are hoaxes.

    This would be easier if I could type Cyrillic characters in Slashdot comments.
    Agreed. Slashdot removed the shch and the yo characters for some reason.
    Anyways, I am Russian, (apart from the fact that my Russian grammar is severely broken,) so I do know how to speak it.
