  1. It was a close one... Between Fripp and Evil Dead on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    I prefer this one:

    Unfortunately, PETA stepped in and protested.

  2. Somewhere Yngwie Malmsteen laments... on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 3, Funny

    Give it to me! I'll get ten times the notes in there whatever Robert plays.

    Nah. Just make your interface override itself that provides a button that works for more than one view and thus augments it's usefulness without having to create more buttons.

    You select the DVD Player and the Front Row Interface maps to the remote to play/rewind/stepthrough, etc.

    You select the DVR and the Front Row Interface maps to the same remote to do specific UI features. The Operating System manages the MVC relationship and dynamically calls the appropriate method with Cocoa's frameworks to do the magic.

    Think Eastern Orientalism. Jobs is not into the Trio of monotheistic faiths. He did however do his own vision quest to India before founding Apple.

  5. Re:See folks... on Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    You're correct, and there are non-dogmatic modern religions of scientific illuminism that don't insult ourselves as slaves and incorporate the sound aspects of various eastern modalities which focus on the inner development of the individual. When you create a religion to control the masses you get dogma and slaves.

    GOD is definitely not Jehovah. The very fact they classify an infinite divine force in human terms should be the first clue. People want Faith, not Certainty in life. People want Hope for a future Life, not transference of Life into another experience with more lessons and experiences to discover. People are so arrogant they proclaim their Almighty as being devoid of Evil, when GOD makes no destinction between any two collisions (encounters, interactions of force, etc) as one being Good or one being Evil. They are all equal moments of Change. We delude ourselves when we build an ever densely populated veil of Ignorance crowned by a slain sacrificial Lamb born from an barren (impotent) host which should be the biggest clue, in the 21st century, that ALL LIFE IS DYNAMIC. Celebrate the Sacred Whore, Despise the Bourgeois Chaste Woman, Despite the Slut who cannot celebrate life and all its most natural and without restricted experiences.

    Not all philosophies, religions, spiritual practices adhere to the slave mentality and recognizes that Work In == Work Out in Thermosystems forms of equilibrium. It's the determination of the multi-stage Work In that must be discovered in ordered to comply with equilibrium. (End of Mechanical Engineering philosophy)

    I'm in 100% agreement with you until you forgot to Think Different and realize that the god atheists despise as exisiting is in fact, not GOD, but one deity of countless deities past who managed to be leveraged as a tool for a movement now over 2,000 years in the works. GOD exists but not in the pretty picture of the Triadic religions whose own Impotent Tree of Life keeps them in shackles. Meanwhile, they do a dandy job at keeping the world in strife through turf wars.

  7. Re:Apple blew off Metrowerks. Now they must suffer on Steve Jobs thinks Objective C is Perfect? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    BULLSHIT. Apple gave Carbon to Metrowerks and the rest of the ilk back in 1997 at WWDC and we told them to get ready to transition to Cocoa/ObjC. Seven years was plenty of time. Get over your loss and embrace change.

  8. Re:Notes from a Cocoa AND .NET developer on Steve Jobs thinks Objective C is Perfect? · · Score: 1

    When Apple reaches 10% current quarter market sales what will be the excuse? They've been projected to hit 5% this Winter quarter. When the Intel push comes the rate will increase much more so. Your value as an ObjC developer will increase accordingly and moreso if you are a seasoned developer who knows the strengths and pitfalls of the system frameworks.

  9. Dear Editors... on Is Ruby on Rails Maintainable? · · Score: 1

    Is it too much trouble to ask you to proof-read stories? The article links commentary is painful on the mind. Between the liberal use of commas, 'of' in place of 'off' to other examples of "what the hell are you trying to write?" how is it that this type of article gets submitted?

    A friend of the crew?

    Of course not, but Karma Sutra won't improve your sexual creativity. However, Kama Sutra will keep you experimenting for years to come.

    More than likely I believe Mr. Starr wouldn't see much use for Karma. Pity really, for he would if he grasped its true meaning: The Law of Cause and Effect

  11. Re:Yeah no.. on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 1

    Do you always believe what people say? I use KDE daily on a PIII 450Mhz with 512MB Ram and it runs just fine. Sure it's going to be resanctioned to do specific services soon and a new system for development takes its place but it is more than useable. The iBook G4 1Ghz I'm writing this on is also more than useable. Debian Sid builds for KDE 3.5 aren't bringing my PIII to levels of unacceptabliity. I run Kile, xpdf (3 views), Kate (10 or more threads open), Inkscape 0.43, Firefox 1.5RC3, Konsole 9 (5 shells) consistently on a daily basis with GIMP and a few other applications here and there when necessary. The system doesn't crawl and just works. I'd imagine with some QA Frameworks still missing and some more optimizations in KDE, Qt, GTK+ the entire experience would be better, but I don't equate productivity with frame-per-second.

  12. Re:Under-waged on U.S. Engineers Undercounted · · Score: 1

    This speaks volumes to your inability to apply your education to educating others. If you can't solve algebra based physics problems I'd question your credentials. Or you might recall that unless you constantly apply your class work you will eventually lose the tenuous connections to their memory that holds all the recall.

  13. Does this end the complaints from the developer? on Yahoo Updates Konfabulator · · Score: 1, Troll

    Now that he got his payday does this mean we don't get to read about his "being wronged by Apple?" I hope so. The developer and his cohorts whining about being wronged and then being proven wrong by Apple prior art was getting real old.

    Note: I'd use harsher language to describe his whining but it just goes to show that the squeaky wheel eventually gets the grease: thanks Yahoo! Hopefully we won't need to read another 50 articles on this crap.

  14. Where's the Beef? on Xooglers - Google Discussed by Ex-Googlers · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a rather dull place to work.

    To quote Steve Jobs when he interviewed an ex-VP of Sun to work at Apple after the NeXT merger, "Sun's no Apple." From what I read, "Google's no Sun."

    Clearly a cell phone is cheaper than a lane-line. Wake up! Get a freakin' lanline, run DSL and VOIP. Get your school work done so you can get a useless high paying job that supports your insatiable need to ramble on while driving in your car.

  18. Lovely Spin on Introvert vs. Extrovert on Introverts Have More Brain Activity? · · Score: 1
    "The attitude that there's something wrong with introverted people is widely shared in society, where fast talk and snap decisions are often valued over listening, deliberation and careful planning. Extroverts seem to rule the world or, at least, the USA, which hasn't elected an introverted president for three decades, since Jimmy Carter."
    No, Introverted people aren't viewed as being invaluable listeners, who take their time deliberating well-founded decisions. They are the nutbags who are socially dysfunctional outside of their phantasms they create due to the fact they feel themselves disassociated from the "norms" of Society.

    If you think critical thinking cannot be made in rapid succession then I suggest you work on your memory skills and your rate of recall. Both types of traditionally classified personalities are ripe with morons. They just express it through their actions differently.
