  1. Re:Feedback claims dubious on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. These servos are unsual and very cool!

  2. Feedback claims dubious on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unmodified hobby servos do not expose the position data without cracking them open and reading the internal pot. Looking at the API, I'm guessing it's simply remembering the last positions you told it to move to and regurgitating them.

    I'm working on a project that sort of does what this is claiming to do by providing this feedback by way of current sensing.

  3. There are already variations on New (More) Annoying Microsoft Worm Hits Net · · Score: 1

    Early request patterns looked like this:

    /scripts/root.exe
    /c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe
    /_vti_bin/..%5c../..%5c../..5c../winnt/system32/cm d.exe

    /scripts/..%5c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe
    /scripts/..%5c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe


    Now I'm seeing these in some requests:

    At least with two, we'd get to call them "Baby Bill's"

  5. Java? yeah. on Does .NET Sound Like Java? · · Score: 1

    Java=.NET

    Package=Namespace
    Byte Code=ILASM
    JIT=JIT
    Reflection=Reflection
    Sandbox=Cooler Sandbox
    GC=GC (no more ref counting)
    Serialization=Serialization
    Exceptions=Exceptions
    Plat-Ind=Corel? (doubt it)

    I'm sure this is only the beginning of the similarities, but in my opinion, .NET is a direct rip-off of java.

    As far as .NET doing thing better?
    Threads that you know how they work.
    Remoting is a snap.
    Very slick Call context.
    I like .NET, I like Java.
    .NET will win.

  6. It should be used sparingly on What Pitfalls Exist When Outsourcing Code? · · Score: 1

    We have done a fair amount of it. In the end, the code we get is always horrid, but thats ok sometimes. When we have 600 reports to bang out, and none are all to complex, its ok if its ugly. If one doesn't work, just redo it. For TRULY grunt work, meaning that the above outcome is acceptable, go for it. Except for situations where we have had someone who worked for us in the past, running the project at the other site, you just can't get anything better.
