  1. Re:Breaking news! on Flash On Android Is 'Shockingly Bad' · · Score: 1

    Except on the Nokia N900, works like a charm.

  2. Re:Not ready as a gaming platform on Steam Not Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    Where is this "Linux users don't pay for software" idea coming from? I buy software all the time, and I would love it if I could buy products like photo shop and games from steam on Linux. It would essentially keep me from ever having to buy another windows copy again. It's not that I don't like paying for software, I don't like paying for an operating system, nor do I enjoy using windows.

  3. Re:The mormons have had these for years on Smart Underwear Designed For Military · · Score: 1

    Unless you're a lazy programmer(s).

  4. Re:Wait, what? on How MySpace Generates Enough Load To Test Itself · · Score: 1

    Not impressed. I normally generate enough load to finish before the next page even loads.

  5. Re:Deliciously exciting?! on MIT's Flyfire To Paint Images In the Sky Using Micro-Helicopters · · Score: 1

    Imagine being on a date and getting "5 ways to impress her" ads.

  6. Re:Design patterns on What Knowledge Gaps Do Self-Taught Programmers Generally Have? · · Score: 1

    Study up on information systems theory, business process analysis and the like. You're software is only as good as your understanding of the problem.

  7. Re:Cheaper young 'uns will work longer hours? on "Logan's Run" Syndrome In Programming · · Score: 1
    Younger developers may seem cheap because of the price tag, but this does nothing to address:
    • the cost of maintaining a system built by a bright young person who lacks experience and knowledge
    • the cost of maintaining a system built by someone who doesn't know when to clear their mind and think a little more about a problem
    • the cost of maintaining a system built by someone who doesn't know when to incorporate already implemented software packages/api's/tools
  8. Re:scrubbing co2 on US To Build Nuclear Power Plants · · Score: 1
  9. Re:some facts about nuclear energy. on US To Build Nuclear Power Plants · · Score: 1

    But no. Tech we don't own stock in making money is scary.

  10. scrubbing co2 on US To Build Nuclear Power Plants · · Score: 1

    Why bury co2 so we can have sparkling spring water? c02 is a trace element, not a pollutant, the plants need to breathe too.

  11. Re:some facts about nuclear energy. on US To Build Nuclear Power Plants · · Score: 0, Troll

    If we need power _today_ we need clean coal. Don't say it can't be done. www.ftek.com does it every day.

  12. What a relief on NVIDIA Shows Off "Optimus" Switchable Graphics For Notebooks · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Optimus can power on and pass control to the GPU in a matter of 300ms"

    That's good. I'm tired of finishing before my video player can render the first frame.

  13. Re:Too little, too late on Symbian Completes Transition To Open Source · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that the n900 uses a resistive screen, as where the Droid uses a capacitave screen. Droid has way more apps available for it. Masses will chose Droid imo.

  14. Re:Sometimes screwing up leads to success ... on The Neuroscience of Screwing Up · · Score: 1

    "Sometimes screwing up leads to success." the moral of the story here is: discover, don't invent.

    That failure leads to success is hard coded into the Scientific method.

    Part of success is being wrong, facing it, and adjusting your assumptions to fit the facts.

  15. Re:It's Become a Theological Dilemma on Google Tries Not To Be a Black Hole of Brilliance · · Score: 1

    More likely the engineer didn't want the competition from such bright minds. Spin spin spin.

  16. Re:obvious troll is obvious. on Bug In Most Linuxes Can Give Untrusted Users Root · · Score: 1

    One box, two boxen :P

  17. Re:obvious troll is obvious. on Bug In Most Linuxes Can Give Untrusted Users Root · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  18. Re:Making Dew on A Clever New Approach To Desalination · · Score: 1

    NO! NEVER CROSS THE STREAMS!

  19. Re:Scientific? on Neanderthals "Had Sex" With Modern Man · · Score: 1

    If you met my neighbor, you wouldn't be demanding so much evidence. I think it's fairly obvious.

  20. Re:Of course they did on Neanderthals "Had Sex" With Modern Man · · Score: 1

    lol, bogus

  21. Re: Karmic Koala on Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" RC Hits the Streets With Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    lol :D

  22. Re:Go to your room and no video games! on Internet Probably Couldn't Handle a Flu Pandemic · · Score: 1

    As somebody who claims to be somebody I can make my argument more relevant. :P

  23. Re:Nokia isn't completely non-evil either on Comparing the Freedoms Offered By Maemo and Android · · Score: 1

    That was informative. Thanks for the info. I guess it's more like "company a does what's best for company a"

  24. Re:But what if the do ban laptop batteries? on Laptop Fires On Airplanes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The carriers would be happier to charge you to plug into a laptop electricity port.

  25. Re:Fine? on French Branch of Scientology Is Convicted of Fraud · · Score: 1

    1) Find near guaranteed source of money from questionable organization.
    2) Put said organization under political scrutiny that could lead to harsh penalties.
    3) ?
    4) Profit!
