    Cancer is already solved, it's called THC. (Well, that's what I read anyway, don't know if it's true)

    Huh? those things you mention are exactly the things that make game dev fun.

  5. Re:Well duh on Why Google's Wi-Fi Payload Collection Was Inadvertent · · Score: 1

    Yes because recollecting data from all over the world is just as much trouble as recompiling software.

    And yours is in what catagory?

  7. Re:Support IEX9 on XP on The Man At Microsoft Charged With Destroying IE6 · · Score: 1

    You can't compare linux with windows on the same timeline. One is still improving, the other is on its way down.

  8. Re:EOL XP already... on The Man At Microsoft Charged With Destroying IE6 · · Score: 1

    That's because linux sucks and is still improving, there is only one way and that is up. Windows on the other hand has only been declining after XP. You're comparing apples with oranges.

    4. No need for jewel cases.

  12. Re:And... on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    Make everything of everyone public and they'll stop laughing about your mistakes because making mistakes is the norm. Instead they will point at the ones that don't make mistakes "hey look at this dude, he has drunk himself into coma only once, that's a large deviation of the average, there must be something wrong with him"

  13. Re:Why bother with manuals? on Ubisoft Says No More Game Manuals · · Score: 2, Informative

    I smiled

  15. Re:So XP users will be stuck with IE8 forever.. on Internet Explorer 9 Will Not Support Windows XP · · Score: 1

    hm no some games required xp, some could be fixed by tricking the installer but often you would get a "missing function" error. Besides gaming there are some other problems with 2000, that's why I moved from 2000 to xp. 2000 also doesn't do font subpixel ani-taliasing.

  18. Re:Open Source to the rescue on Linux Not Quite Ready For New 4K-Sector Drives · · Score: 1

    very nice of you to ignore everything that is insignificant and tell them to drop dead when they want to replace the failing HDD in their antique system. Maybe you don't realize but not only PC's use HDDs. There's hardware out there running on obscure firmware and custom chips which cannot be simply replaced by a new box and a OS upgrade.

  19. Re:Yeah, it's called blissful ignorance on Brain Surgery Linked To Sensation of Spirituality · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should just do what you say you do (which you obviously don't): just love them AND STFU about your hypothetical god.
    You'll find a lot less resistence if you stick to my advice.

    Hmz lol, I can't say shrooms give me inner peace.

  21. Re:Definitions on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    It calculates nothing. It's just a guess based on previous observations. it takes a few initial conditions into concideration and then pulls a trajectory from memory, during the flight it does this over and over again to correct for the errors it made in its guess.

    Go is a no go, so they should rename it to Stop.
    Programmers would be called stoppers.

  25. Re:Lightweight languages do not remain lightweight on Go, Google's New Open Source Programming Language · · Score: 1

    >Now, we have Go. Is it a massive improvement over C and Java, thus justifying spending milions of dollars to train programmers? Only the future will tell.
    There is also Digital Mars D which is designed to fill the gap between C++ and Java. And there is also C#. I don't think the purpose of Go is to be something like that, it looks more like a scripting language with static typing.
