  1. Did you try it? on Java-Based x86 Emulator · · Score: 1

    It's not bad - admittedly it's running DOS - but Prince of Persia seems to run nicely.

  2. Re:XGL? on First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat · · Score: 1

    RHEL isn't just for servers...

  3. CentOS... on First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, start the timer... how long until CentOS 5.0 rolls out based on the RHEL SRPMS?

  4. Nubbin == third nipple on Museum IDs New Species of Dinosaur · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sorry, anytime I see nubbin I'm going to think of Chandler from Friends.

  5. Congratulations on Randal Schwartz's Charges Expunged · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Congratulations to Randal - it's nice to actually read a good news story with regards to the legal system.

  6. Re:Yes, but it's rails... ;) on Rails Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Ah, he only says that you can do it in Python... he doesn't start off by saying the C is the bane of existence, killer of babies and that it probably was the one that keyed your car.

  7. Yes, but it's rails... ;) on Rails Cookbook · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm afraid I've been poisoned towards it by all the fans who have to insult other languages in order to promote it. I've never liked negative campaigning.

  8. Blatant Self-Promotion on March To Be Month of PHP Bugs · · Score: 1

    This stinks of self-promotion. Calling something a "Month of PHP Bugs" does nothing to improve PHP's reputation. It sounds spiteful, in fact.

    Yep. Everything he writes on this topic is along the lines of:

    -They all suck.
    -I'm the greatest.
    -They're all out to get me.
    -The fools, the laughed at me at the institute.
    -You aren't taking me seriously! I've fixed everything in my personal extension to PHP and you keep breaking it by changing the language!

    etc... etc...

    I don't know what he thinks he's going to accomplish - but he's made his name synonomous with "shit disturber" and while he claims to be trying to make PHP better, he's only poisoning things in the long run.

  9. Missed it by one... on PHP 5 in Practice · · Score: 1

    You were one post late... admittedly, he was very polite for a troll.

  10. First hit on google... on How Do You Get a Board Game Published? · · Score: 1

    ...for a search of "board game publishing" comes up with:

    Board Game Invention & Self-Publishing Resources

  11. Re:Power Sources on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: 1

    1Kilowatt-hour = 3.6MJ...

    8MJ = 2.22 Kilowatt-hours...

    So... $1 should get you three or four shots worth of power... depending on your local utility rates.

    Storing that for the momentary need... that's what capacitors are for... It might sound a lot like the flash of your camera charging up though... (Squeeeeeeeee....)

  12. Troy's history on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For those not in the know:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Hurtubise

    He's got his own documentary (via the National Film Board) and he won an ignoble prize...

  13. Re:The newly open sourced... on Making Website Mock-Ups in Linux? · · Score: 1

    I think this is the link you want: http://www.xaraxtreme.org/

  14. Re:Makes me wonder.. on King Kong Lived? · · Score: 1

    Dude... that's lame. McMaster is a reputable university.

  15. How long until the obligatory... on PHP Succeeding Where Java Has Failed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...Ruby on Rails comments start coming out?

    Happens during every PHP story...

  16. Re:Saw it coming a mile off. on Red Hat Co-Founder Bob Young Resigns · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Saw it coming a mile off. on Red Hat Co-Founder Bob Young Resigns · · Score: 1

    I said that? Hmm... I don't recall... :/

  18. Oh for the love of crap... on MySQL To Be Ikea Of The Database Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't care if MySQL is VHS compared to the postgres beta max... I'm sick and tired of people coming along and and trying to convert people to whatever their favourite technology is like it's the one true religion.

    Give it up... I don't care if you like PG, Ruby on Rails or stink on shit for that matter. I'll use what I feel is right for my projects. The only thing this kind of "evangelism" generates is animosity towards whatever product/technology/turd you're pushing on others.

  19. fertile ground? more like BS on Microsoft's Unique Innovation · · Score: 1

    Is that why they "invented" Microsoft Bob?

  20. Re:Irony on Solar-Powered Cars Race fron Austin to Calgary · · Score: 1

    Perhaps your understanding of irony is flawed due to excessive Alanis Morissette listening.

    Irony ...

  21. Irony on Solar-Powered Cars Race fron Austin to Calgary · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are the start and destination supposed to be ironic (oil vs solar power)?

  22. Re:BZFlag on Game To Play During Lunch? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree - great drop-in/drop-out game... play on the net... or set up one of your workstations as a server.

    If you can manage to get WC3 to work... bzflag will work well.

  23. Re:Why Grandma doesn't run Linux!!! on CNN Now Offers Free Online Video · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean linux is not ready for the desktop - that means that CNN has focused on windows clients and controlling their content...

  24. Just in time for Tiger on Essential Mac OS X Server Administration · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good thing that this Panther server oriented book is out just in time for Tiger server... ;)

  25. Yep, standard microsoft... on Ballmer Reflects on Xbox Launch Errors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "[previous product] sucked - I don't know why anyone used it... I'm ashamed of it... but [new product] is the pinacle of excellence and you'd be a retard to still use [old product] while [new product] is available for only [everything in your wallet, your favourite shirt and your new kitten]."
