  1. Re:Multiple Inheritance on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Here's one I ran into recently. Actually, if there is a better way to solve this other than using MI I'd love to know.

    #displays a fixed number of rows
    base_table

    #adds pagination capability to a base_table
    pagination_table extends base_table

    #adds selection to a base_table
    select_table extends base_table

    #adds pagination controls for a select table
    pagination_select_table extends select_table

    The implementation of pagination_select_table is exactly the same as the implementation of pagination_table but since the language doesn't support MI I have to maintain the pagination code in 2 places.

  2. Re:Easy to subvert. on AI Could Power Next-gen CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    The article is short on details but it seems like the person would have to make a specific type of noise and even then the visual cues would have to match once that person gets the camera's attention.

    The distraction trick is actually one of the oldest tricks in the book, so it's fitting that people would think of this method to defeat an AI system.

  3. Re:WoW on Children Concerned By Parents' Web Habits · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Dad surfing for porn thing is normal though. Especially if the mom is playing WoW all day ...

  5. Re:Depends on your definition on Is Open Source Recession Proof? · · Score: 1

    Exactly, it depends on the type of open source organization we're talking about. If it's a commercial organization like red hat then of course a recession will have a negative impact ... but with a foss non-profit organization like debian the impact would probably be less because it doesn't depend on sales

  6. Re:oh I dunno on 500-fold Increase in Data Flow from SETI Telescope · · Score: 1

    I don't think his point was that one should always pour all resources into the highest priority thing. Instead, his point was not to pour any resources into something that's useless.

    Granted, the usefulness of SETI@Home is a matter of opinion but that's what his post was about - his opinion - and I agree with him. SETI@home is a waste of time.
