  1. 720 is a bad name on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 2

    "720" reaks of inferiority when everything is in 1080p, It was named "Xbox 360" because Xbox 2 sounded inferior to Playstation 3. The same will go for the next Xbox. They will not call it Xbox 3 and they will not call it Xbox 720. I'm thinking either Xbox 1080 or Xbox 3D. Probably not Xbox 420.

  2. Re:Lean? on "Learn To Code, Get a Job" According To CNN · · Score: 0

    If your code needs comments it is because you have poorly named objects and methods or are trying to do too much in a single method. You recommend reading Clean Code. Then you will lean comments are bad.

  3. Re:Lean? on "Learn To Code, Get a Job" According To CNN · · Score: 0

    Skip comments? Good code shouldn't have comments.

  4. Re:I could care less: Opera64's out 4 Windows! on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 1

    Yes you can.. it's in the freaking options by default you don't even need to download some shitty add-on.

  5. bad idea on Google Demonstrates Chrome Native Client With Bastion · · Score: 1, Funny

    How would that be more secure? I can only think of things that make it less secure. It is also Satan's anus poised over web standardization.

  6. obviously on Using a Tablet As Your Primary Computer · · Score: 4, Funny

    No surprise considering his "primary computer" was a macbook to begin with. No real computing was likely done.

  7. Re:Do Your Part on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Actually it uses less, especially if you have dynamic contrast.

  8. Re:the way to go on Tough Tests Flunk Good Programming Job Candidates · · Score: 1

    One interview I went to the interviewer asked me to write code for an impossible task. I told him I don't think this is possible then tried a few things on paper to show it. Then the interviewer said it was possible and attempted to show me the answer and we stepped through the code line by line and I showed how it didn't work. He said oh I'll have to look this up later I thought I could do this before. Every interview I've ever had at a large company the questions and interview processes have been terrible, even worse are processes you go through at large recruitment companies like Robert Half. The interviews at smaller companies tend to be much more productive.

  9. Bad on HPV Vaccine Recommended For Boys · · Score: 1

    Do a web search for HPV vaccine deaths. You probably have a better chance of getting cancer from the vaccine than you do from HPV.

  10. Zergling Speed upgrade on Winged Robots Hint At the Origins of Flight · · Score: 2

    When you research Metabolic Boost for Zerglings they get wings that improve their running speed by 60%. Any bronze level newbie knows wings improve land speed.

  11. beat - swatch internet time on Time Zone Database Has New Home After Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    No worries, the internet switched to beats (swatch internet time) in 1998.

  12. Re:Sounds interesting on Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages' · · Score: 1

    FF is Netscape. They branched off of the netscape code and changed the name.

  13. Re:Sounds interesting on Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Opera isn't that kind of company. If Opera patented all their ideas web browsers would be stuck in 1999.

  14. Re:This is why the iPhone is falling behind. on Nexus Prime, And Ice Cream Sandwich, Go For a Video Tour · · Score: 1

    They make plenty off of the google marketplace and google ads in free aps

  15. lies and exaggeration on Anti-Piracy PI Talks About Building Cases Against File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    When you exaggerate and lie it comes back to bite you in the ass when the truth comes out. Does anyone sympathize with the record companies anymore?

  17. Re:Performance on Zotac Releases GeForce GT 520 With Classic PCI Connector · · Score: 1

    Yes good idea, I could use another 2 monitors 8 isn't enough. Now I just need to find a bigger desk.

  18. Re:Bluetooth? USB?? on Amazon Kindle Fire Surfaces · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you can plug a printer in and use it with the right apps. Amazon recently had a printing app for free on the amazon marketplace for android that allows you to connect to USB as well as network printers and print various documents. The only problem is most things like web browsers don't have printing support built in since there is not a generic OS printer so you can only really print through the print app.

  19. underwear on Researchers Create Renewable Carbon Dioxide Sponge · · Score: 1

    Make underwear out of these and it will be much more effective.

  20. Re:Genetic-Modified Foods on What You Eat Affects Your Genes · · Score: 1

    Because the same people that own mega-agriculture own mega-pharmaceutical creating a never ending cycle of profits.

  21. Re:GMOs - become sterile on What You Eat Affects Your Genes · · Score: 1

    Until GMOs consumption of infertile organisms was a small amount of the human diet. What isn't now?

  22. GMOs - become sterile on What You Eat Affects Your Genes · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is exactly why we need to be careful about GMO taking over our food. They modify them so they don't reproduce so the companies making them can keep reselling them. You are eating them. They did studies on mice and they became sterile after 3 generations. This is what GMOs are doing to humans.

  23. Re:I don't think a degree helps you on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 1

    It's easy to get another job when you already have one. The hard part is finding one while being unemployed. You would think with today's economy employers would understand companies are going belly up all the time good workers are getting laid off but they'll just throw out your resume if you aren't currently employed.

  24. mercury on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 1

    Perhaps if they stopped putting mercury and other things in them that kill people in there people wouldn't have problems taking them.

  25. terrible memory management test on The Latest Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 1

    Opera's memory management is much much better than their tests show. Opera allows you to set the amount of memory you want it to use and by default is set to automatic which simply takes up as much as you have free. The benchmark Tom's Hardware used simply looks at how much memory is being used and claims more memory used is bad which is a very bad benchmark. Opera uses available memory and reloads pages much faster than other browsers which should really put it in first but according to their test puts it in last.
