  1. Re:Latency and bandwidth? on Researchers Achieve Storage Density of 2.2 Petabytes Per Gram of DNA · · Score: 1

    And how is that cost-effective compared to other more flexible solutions?

  2. Re:Latency and bandwidth? on Researchers Achieve Storage Density of 2.2 Petabytes Per Gram of DNA · · Score: 1

    If it takes more than 10k years to actually write stuff to it, surely you can see the problem?

  3. Re:Not exactly on Male Scientists More Prone To Misconduct · · Score: 1

    Your extremely misogynistic views as well as your poor usage of English suggests you're an Islamist.

  4. Re:Not exactly on Male Scientists More Prone To Misconduct · · Score: 1

    Stop spreading your religious indoctrination.

  5. Re:Latency and bandwidth? on Researchers Achieve Storage Density of 2.2 Petabytes Per Gram of DNA · · Score: 1

    If it takes 1 day per byte, then sorry, it's too slow for any use.

  6. Latency and bandwidth? on Researchers Achieve Storage Density of 2.2 Petabytes Per Gram of DNA · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's useless unless it's reasonably fast.

  7. Where are the screenshots? on The Road To KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 2 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The summary essentially says "KDE is going to look better". Where are the screenshots?

  8. Google refused Free, Free blocked Google ads on French Telecom Claims To Have Forced Google To Pay For Traffic · · Score: 1

    Free (which is another French ISP) asked for the same a while ago. Google refused.
    Free decided to block Google ads automatically for all its customers in retaliation.

    This has led politics to question the issue and to consider enacting laws. Unfortunately, politicians are clueless about technology, and all they see is making the big American company pay the French companies.

  9. Re:Brilliant idea on Google Declares War On the Password · · Score: 1

    You still need a password.
    You simply have a master passwords for all your accounts.

    It's not a new idea at all, is already implemented in most operating systems, through not in a pervasive-enough way on the web.

  10. Re:Let's not throw the baby out w/ the bathwater on Mathematicians Aim To Take Publishers Out of Publishing · · Score: 1

    AFAIK only low-ranked publications do this, and they do it to attract people as a compensation for their low rank, since scientists usually try to go for high-rank publications since they're more valuable.

  11. Re:C / C++ on Java Vs. C#: Which Performs Better In the 'Real World'? · · Score: 0

    The set of disparate C/C++ libraries is completely incomparable to comprehensive frameworks as provided by Java or .NET.

  12. Re:Ugh on GitHub Registers Its 3 Millionth User · · Score: 1

    Are you having much success preaching your unforgiving alter-mondialist views?
    I guess not.

  13. C / C++ on Java Vs. C#: Which Performs Better In the 'Real World'? · · Score: 1

    C and C++ are the language that perform better.
    Why isn't it used more? It's because performance is not the most important thing in web development.

    The most important thing in web development is the ability to get cheap coders with no skills, that can re-use existing libraries to do the trivial things that are needed of them.

  14. Re:Irrational on Messenger App Brings Free VoIP to US Facebook Users — At a Price · · Score: 1

    40-50 friends is already way too high.
    I don't most of these are really your friends.

  15. Re:Backplane on Open Compute 'Group Hug' Board Allows Swappable CPUs In Servers · · Score: 1

    Indeed, I personally don't see how it is anymore than a standard backplace interface.

  16. Re:Fairly ugly on Doom 3 Source Code: Beautiful · · Score: 1

    I write SIMD code everyday (I work in numerical computation optimization), and it's still quite pretty.
    I did write some C++ library to make it prettier though.

  17. Re:Yet another firecracker on Inside the Tech of SpaceX's Homegrown Rocket Engine · · Score: 1

    Do they make a pion-pion sound?

  18. Fairly ugly on Doom 3 Source Code: Beautiful · · Score: 2

    The Doom 3 code is quite ugly.
    If you want to read good code, try the Linux kernel.

    If that's beautiful, I really don't want to read his "ugly" code...

  19. Re:Inflammatory headline on BioWare Launches "Gay Planet" For the Old Republic · · Score: 1

    This should have been publicized more.
    I actually thought it was really Bioware that made it.

  20. Re:Yawn on US Attorney Chided Swartz On Day of Suicide · · Score: -1, Troll

    In civilized countries, a defendant is considered innocent until proven guilty. It is at the charge of the prosecutor to prove that he is guilty.
    It is my understand that it is not the case in the US, and that it is at the charge of the defendant to prove that he is innocent.

  21. Re:I don't recall noticing this... on Why You Shouldn't Design Games Through Analytics · · Score: 1

    don't those people realize they're just wasting their time on useless stuff?

  22. Programming should be part of general education on Learn Basic Programming So You Aren't At the Mercy of Programmers · · Score: 1

    Programming and computer science should be taught in high schools along with math and physics.

  23. Re:What is Vert.x? on Who Controls Vert.x: Red Hat, VMware, Neither? · · Score: 2

    From a quick look, it seems to be some FastCGI-like API with bindings for various programming languages.
    You couldn't deduce that at all from the summary.

  24. What is Vert.x? on Who Controls Vert.x: Red Hat, VMware, Neither? · · Score: 1

    What the fuck is Vert.x and why should I care about it?

    Is it really? I've never seen anyone use IE7 or later.
