  1. zerg on Visual Studio Hacks · · Score: 2, Informative

    If Visual Studio isn't your bag, but you still like Visual C++, then grab the Visual C++ 2003 toolkit (just the compiler, free) and stick Code::Blocks on top of it.

  2. Re:zerg on Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code · · Score: 1

    I feel your pain. I'm lucky because I've managed to beat it out of my coworkers. (Technically labmates, and we're all grad students, but still.)

  3. Re:zerg on Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code · · Score: 1

    I wish slashdot would allow me to edit my comments, because then I'd feel like less of an idiot.

  4. zerg on Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ask someone else to look at your code. Every time they pause while scrolling, touch their chin, squint their eyes, furrow their brows, etc., it means you need a comment.

  5. zerg on Hillary, GTA, and High School Football · · Score: 1

    Let Johnson talk all he wants. When push comes to shove, all this anti-video game rhetoric isn't going to get anyone to change their goddamned votes.

  6. Re:Is it just me... on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    How are Japanese car companies doing relative to American car companies?

  7. zerg on Nerdcore Rap In The Press · · Score: 1

    MC Frontalot is from San Francisco, as is clearly stated in I Heart Fags. The fact that he's currently in New York means nothing since he's moving to Boston after his last show in NYC @ the end of the month.

    "I don't think this new subculture will really stick, though," Mr. Ryan is an idiot. Nerdcore shows used to have less than a dozen people show up only a couple of years ago, now they're packed wall to wall.

    declined to give his real name Mr. Andrews needs to get his reporter credentials checked.

  8. zerg on Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 Today? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For the people posting, "zOMG, 5500 is horrible", what PDA w/ WiFi + SSH would you recommend instead?

  9. zerg on GRE CS Subject Test Prep? · · Score: 1

    Oh bollocks, I didn't see that book available when I took the test ~1 year ago.

    Didn't the practice test give you some idea of which subjects you need work in? (Yes, the practice test is on ETS' website, just look for it...)

  10. zerg on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere · · Score: 1

    The soundtracks for the miniseries and season 1 are both available if (like me) you really enjoyed the angry drums.

  11. zerg on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    We have over 1000 dead in Iraq, we have thousands and thousands permanently crippled, al-Qaeda is doing infinitely better @ recruiting than our own Army... yet, the biggest problem she can tackle is video games?

    WHAT THE FUCK!!

  12. Re:19 known problems cause most bugs on The New C Standard · · Score: 1

    I hope you submit it to slashdot when you find it, and I hope the slashdot editors post it...

  13. zerg on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't make someone angry, then it's not art. If you write programs that regularly fill some people w/ rage (and others w/ delight), then you're an artist.

    If you accept my definition of art, then DVD Jon is an artist. Bram whatshisface is an artist.

  14. zerg on Cloning In The Animal Kingdom · · Score: 2, Funny

    Clearly, all ants are going to hell.

  15. Re:Add Saturn to the queue on Science's 125 Big Questions · · Score: 1

    Clearly it's getting ready to fire...

  16. zerg on Science's 125 Big Questions · · Score: 1
    As far as I can tell, these are the ones interesting to computer scientists:
    • Why do we dream?
    • Why are there critical periods for language learning?
    • What are the limits of learning by machines?
    • What Are the Limits of Conventional Computing?
    • How Will Big Pictures Emerge From a Sea of Biological Data?
    I'm sure Science Magazine would've added more if they had more space, but I really wonder if this is all we're going to solve in the next 25 years...
  17. zerg on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    April 1st was 3 months ago, more or less...

  18. zerg on Amazon's 1,082-volume Classics Collection: $7,989 · · Score: 1

    How many Libraries of Congress is the Classics Collection?

  20. Re:Graphics are good, but... on Revolution Downloads To Recieve Graphic Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Some other guy responded to you w/ something about that minibosses bullshit. Fuck that. Check out the NESkimos. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

  21. zerg on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why the Democrats aren't speaking out against this. :(

  22. Re:Perspective of a US Marine on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 1

    At one time, Japan and Germany posed no threat to us whatsoever. Or so we thought. Food for thought.

    Right, and then Japan attacked us (because we had the oil embargo on them) and Germany & Italy subsequently declared war on us. We never said, "Whoo, boy, this oil embargo ain't working, we'd best invade Japan, yeeeeeehaw!"
  23. Re:Perspective of a US Marine on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Our power in the world was won through superior military force. We are currently having difficulty in maintaining that force.

    I've got a genius idea to solve our problem: stop invading and occupying countries that posed zero threat to us whatsoever.
  24. zerg on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't you kids have guidance counselors or advisors or anything? Find a job you think would be fun! Or find a job that will allow you to save up to switching to something fun.

  25. zerg on Dr Who Rolls On · · Score: 2, Funny

    Will the Christmas special have Wookies?
