  1. Re:I'm glad to see this happen! on Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Look, babe, I put Gentoo on your computer!"

    "WHAT?!? Where are my Sims?!?"

    "Um...woops?"

    I'm evil.


    Not to mention dead.

  3. Re:Desktop w/ flat panel, laptop on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 1

    Very few people actually need a cell phone. They're a distraction, they're a pain in the ass, and they're rude.

    If you learn LaTeX, you can use the "pdflatex" command to create a PDF file from your source file(s).

    I wrote my Old English and Old Icelandic papers in LaTeX, using Emacs, last year.

    I feel young compared to you.

  8. Re:Of Course CS Ph.D.s are just the opposite on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    What were your letters of recommendation like?

    Or did you have any? Good letters will go a very long way.

  9. Re:Back in 1989-1991 it was as it is now on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    Philosophy is a beautiful discipline. Now, I'm a recent B.Sc. Hons graduate in CS, but the arts are beautiful, and I would never slag one who chose that path. (though I might make fun of their workload)

  10. Re:Of Course CS Ph.D.s are just the opposite on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    The trick is to do well in school. Don't blame others - after all, if you work hard, get an A- average, and generally show that you know your stuff, you're going to get into grad school. I know I did. Maybe not MIT, Stanford, etc., but there are many good schools out there.

  11. Re:Australian History? on Australian Computer Museum Looking For Space · · Score: 1

    That really is an unfair comparison. Americans have far fewer koalas, and thus, cell phone penetration is much lower than in Australia.

  12. Re:Slapped...buckling... on Acadia Streaming Patent Contested · · Score: 1

    Now Acacia is in the fight of its life and may even face a shareholder revolt

    So, is that like an orgy?

    that's right, because it's impossible for source compilations to ever go wrong.

    idiot.

  15. Re:C'mon: "Dead Heat" or "They Live" on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    "They Live" is fantastic. And who can forget the three-note bass rift? Rowdy Roddy Piper? Ah, memories.

  16. Re:First vs. Second Generation Programmers on Mainframe Operators Needed · · Score: 1

    Third generation, baby.

    My grandfather was writing psychological-disorder-diagnostic programs on IBM Big Iron in the late 50s/early 60s in FORTRAN and COBOL.

    My father programmed in PL/I on IBM Iron, too.

    My languages are C, Java, and Prolog.

    If that's so, then I've got a "wad" of "cash" for "them".

    The Canadian Copyright Act already permits you this; it's in the section under fair use.

  20. Read your Aristotle on Sun Rethinking Linux Strategy Over SCO Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    There are no ultimate truths we can appeal to when judging actions - we must look at the circumstances, and then come to a conclusion.

  21. Re:The SUN is setting... on Sun Rethinking Linux Strategy Over SCO Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    My suspicion however, is that we will eventually see all proprietary UNIX's fall to Linux, and while RedHat is the market leader today, there is still Slackware, and Debian is not going away any time soon.

    True. And I hear SuSE is big in Europe. I don't know about that, living in Canada and all, but I did walk into Future Shop and buy a copy off the shelf, so that's certainly something.

  23. Re:dead? on The 25th Anniversary of the BBS · · Score: 2, Informative

    I love Falcon's Eye, but it's completely broken. You can't win unless you play Minotaurs or Mermaids. Also, once someone gets more powerful than you, you're fucked, because he can beat you into the ground since there's no cap on net worths and such.

    A great idea, but badly implemented.

  25. Re:You lost me on the incredible leap of logic... on XML and Perl · · Score: 1

    The question is not "Is Perl good for processing text?" The question is "do the conclusions follow validly from the premises." Given the premises, yes, it does. It says nothing of the real-world truth of the premises, only that we're taking them to be true in this particular argument.
