  1. Re:Europa is not the same on Complex Life Found Under 600 Feet of Antarctic Ice · · Score: 1

    In anothers words, you only will accept my rigth to have a opinion myself (I.E: Without the need of famous sources saying the same thing) if I are a famous scientist with lots of articles on the Nature, Time or etc. NASA is a good source for you? What you tink they are doing on Antartica drilling holes on ice? Double Bah.

  2. Re:Europa is not the same on Complex Life Found Under 600 Feet of Antarctic Ice · · Score: 1

    I do not need to be a "rocket scientist" do say this... Think with me: Lots of water under a tick ice sheet, very low temperature (or not, maybe Europa have underwater volcanos by tidal heating), no or almost inexistant sun ligth and lots of pressure from the ice sheet above and from water mass itself.

    And as I sayed, "to what is expected of the moon Europa". I have to be a world-famous scientist to be allowed to give my opinion? Bah, Slashdot is not Wikipedia.

    Exactly. Scientists are interested why there is no sunshine get down there, so you can not have photosynthesis and therefore plants (the base of food chain as we know). Soon, they met a shrimp (a way of life far more complex than a bacterium), then it means that under the ice there is an interesting biosphere that is independent of light or heat (apparently) to work. And the conditions beneath the ice are very similar to what is expected of the moon Europa, then found life here ... chances are good there too.

  4. Re:compiling java script on Microsoft Previews IE9 — HTML5, SVG, Fast JS · · Score: 1

    Thinking on the users and developers base, maybe something like the Java Server Pages, for browser (Java Client Pages?). I do not like much Java, but is now well-know, can run on interpreted ou just-in-time compile and works well on JSP, can do the job much better than Javascript if used on the client side.

    And a important note: Maybe will be slow as Javascript, but is a lot better to use than a stupid "language" like Javascript.

  5. Re:compiling java script on Microsoft Previews IE9 — HTML5, SVG, Fast JS · · Score: 1

    I think is better to create a new and decent browser-based script language than try to run faster the actual javascript...

  6. Re:Probably Java (Bleh) on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. I too think the Java is a powerfull tool to create bloated, slow and memory-hungry apps, with junk-like IDEs to play (sorry guys, Eclipse is nowhere near the Visual Studio). But, unfortunately the labor market uses it a lot.

  7. Re:Python will give you th least problems on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 1

    There is a really good reason for Ruby not be listed. Just look at the benchmarks it against other languages. And again, I would like to remind that no language can become a incompetent developer able to make good software.

    CPU time and memory are finite resources. The sooner the new developer learn this, better.

  10. Exacty. on The Value of BASIC As a First Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It not the language that makes a bad programmer, is the lack of knowledge.
    Speaking a language that has dominated the market is "garbage" because it would be "too easy" to "superdevelopers of today" (so they think) is a huge childish that I can only see people who think using 50MB of ram to make a "hello world" is acceptable.

  11. Re:Meh on The Value of BASIC As a First Programming Language · · Score: 1

    A bad programmer can make bad programs independent of language.

  14. Is not better to sell something with real valor? on Power To the Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    Instead of trying to force more and more to view ads, it would be better to offer something in this ads the people really like to buy?
    Ads like "WinAntiVirus 2000 plus max, click here NOW!!" go immediately to the ignore/junk list. People have learned to ignore ads because 95% (or more) of them are pure garbage, dubious products or simply frauds.

    So true... You wrote exactly I liked to say about this.

  16. CAD software for what? on FOSS CAD and 3D Modeling Software? · · Score: 1

    Why FOSS CAD software full of bugs and missing half the functionality, or (really) expensive proprietary CAD programs, if you can still use the good old paper and ink? Just a reminder that there are more options.

    I agree. When you go into the unknown, you need the best tools available. Whether open source or not

    Same here, in Brazil. Only the rich buy a Mac, to say they have more money than others and therefore more status. It's like buying a pair of famous jeans just to say you have, when any good jeans would do.

    Are you sure? For me, as language JavaScript is... terrible.
    No proper types control (String, integer, etc);
    Bizarre (for me at last) math control, like the NaN (Not a Number) and the strange effects on overflows or underflows;
    Difficult to discover errors (you need to see the error log from browser, and if the error generates any message to see on then);
    Painfull slow, even if you compare then with Java;
