    Define paradigm.

    Or, better yet, just don't use the word.

  2. Re:Chrome as the built in? on Interview With Google's V8 Author Lars Bak · · Score: 1

    Nah you just have to run it with in process plugins, which requires modificaiton of the command line shortcut.
    Besides I'm pretty sure they fixed that problem in 2.0. Not 100% sure because i'm not on a 64 bit build right now.

    Its not a fad- Its just a cool style. People have liked steam punkiness ever since steam power was mainstream.

    Google chrome 2.0 has image scaling.

    I'd like to note that google chrome on windows 7 is a ridiculously fast browser. Even faster than it is on xp or vista for some reason.

    No. IE 8 comes with windows 7, but you can remove it through programs and features.

    May actually be an option very soon. Internet explorer is completely uninstallable in the latest build of windows 7. (7022 & later)

  8. Accept it on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    Paint it pink and put MylittlePony stickers on it. When people say its little and cute- say "Yeah, isnt it?". They will slowly tiptoe backward, and probably never speak to you again.

    Mission accomplished.

  11. Re:Ruby? on Experimental MacRuby Branch Is 3x Faster · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It was a sarcastic comment. I'm SO sorry.

    The reason ruby fails is because it combines things which need not be combined. As much as i'd love to have one language that does everything on the planet- it isnt that way- FOR A REASON. It is slow.
    It is an unnecessary layer of obfuscation that- the concept of which is apparently acceptable to today's programmers. Apparently efficiency is bullshit- everyone just wants it to be easy so they can attend a two week course and call themselves the master of it.
    It does not add any functionality you cant get from a more localized, specific focus language.

    Look - if you like ruby nothing is stopping you from using it- I sure as hell wont- but I wont stop you from masturbating either. It isnt any of my business. Do what you want.

  12. Not suprising on Violent Video Games Can Improve Vision · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Someone who's played counterstrike a lot is physically conditioned to react as soon as possible to movement (counter terrorists coming around a corner).
    Is it also news that someone who runs a lot may be really good at running ?

  13. Re:Ruby? on Experimental MacRuby Branch Is 3x Faster · · Score: 1

    Yes but any sort of layering in a computer system is a major cause of bugs/slowdown. If you dont have to translate between four different languages, then you have a better experience and fewer things lost in translation.
    Obviously we cant all write in machine code, so a limited about of layering is acceptable, but really, what does it help in this case?

  14. Re:Ruby? on Experimental MacRuby Branch Is 3x Faster · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Because puts { "I like beans" } is 9000% better than just typing I like beans.
    In reality though, I dont know. Ruby is a language that attempts to simplify something that is already perfectly simple, and in the process of trying it really does not introduce much of anything useful.
    I'm not sure why layers upon layers of complexity if preferable to some people.

  15. It isnt about ability on Places Where the World's Tech Pools, Despite the Internet · · Score: 1

    We could have teleporters and people would still want to live in the vicinity of other like minded people. It is just human nature. Probably the reason we've survived this chaotic evolutionary process.
