    How is that different from decompiling a binary?

    3-phase motor means 3-phase power supply. Unless you live in an industrial setting, you're not getting that type of power.

    HTML is structure and presentation. JSON is a data format, like XML.

    You code in .NET assembly? Hard core.

    I do that for a living writing Perl with inline SQL queries and APL, on dirty sticky notes, writing with a dirty coffee cup handle and a spray can, in the dark. And scan in with a RAID^HS 6 of RS-232 connected scanners, on an old Mac, with a DOS compatibility card hacked to hold a Transmeta CPU, which, through a hand made serializer, does double duty as a SATA controller. (ATA (mathematical "belongs)" to ISA, which is basically an old x86 bus. )

  11. Re:But it could be! on Java's New G1 Collector Not For-Pay After All · · Score: 1

    == is a comparison operator in most languages. Just = might be ambiguous, so to be clear that you are assigning, use Pascal's :=. But, please God, don't use comparison operators.

  12. Re:Works for posting to Slashdot :) on Google Announces Chrome For Mac and Linux Dev Builds · · Score: 1

    I think some *box family window mangers can tab windows independently of the programs rendering inside.

    I think I just figured out where Google Wave is going...
    Any volunteers for a free/open Outlook connector for that?

    The X server is on the side of the application user, the app is the client. And most X apps, their tool kits more precisely, aren't optimized and/or designed for higher latency / lower bandwidth connections. The X protocol was meant for LANs anyway. But yes, it would have been better to retrofit all that than reinventing everything bottom up, badly. Wasn't OOP invented with this sole purpose?

    Repeat after me: Flash is not a true web technology. It is not an open implementation, or even standard. It was not meant for graceful degradation and easy interoperation through its lifecycle, unlike web technologies.

    Tell me, why the hell do you need a 3G phone just for calls? Nokia 1110 is a much better choice, by far.

    Idiot. Most users run as admin.

    Why wouldn't everybody support it? Proactive security should be in any application. Also, closing the source isn't required. That's like saying OBSD is insecure because of the license. I dare you to compromise a system like that.

    Let me guess, your idea of network monitoring includes tail-ing all the logs cat-ing them to a tty, and staring at the screen. Do you also switch gears without synchronizers and clutch?
