    Jeez, i would be happy to just have virtual directories in windows.

  2. Re:Win Vs. Mac on Windows Journalist Takes On Tiger · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well if you add NextStep into the picture, OS X's heritage is as old as NT. What difference does it make anyway?

    What's the matter, you dont like Jenna Jamison?

  4. Re:A little chip philosophy. on Intel Ships Dual-Core Chips · · Score: 1

    Having a lame duck product is a smart move for Intel since they don't actually have any chips to sell.

  5. Re:Looks like intel rained on AMD's parade.. on Intel Ships Dual-Core Chips · · Score: 2, Informative

    Afterall, you don't have to pay twice as much to run the software on a system that has a CPU with twice the clockspeed...

    I guess you have never priced an Oracle database.

  9. Re:Rechargeable? on Next Gen Oxyride Batteries Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Not to mention how valuable is your time? I dont want to be bothered by having to stop for batteries when i can just pop them into a charger.

    i dont care what is IN the damn battery, just how they are useful to me.

  11. how are they better on Next Gen Oxyride Batteries Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    how are they better than nicklemetalhydride cells? these store as much power and are rechargable.

  12. Re:Questionable... on Should Nanotech Be Regulated? · · Score: 1

    Why dont they worry about some REALLY dangerous stuff, like dimethyl sulfate and epichlorohydrin which are used every day by the thousands of tons.

  13. This is NOT nanotechnology---Article is WHOREBAIT on Should Nanotech Be Regulated? · · Score: 0, Troll

    The article has nothing to do with nanotechnology. Currently these materials are created using chemical methods, are being isolated using chemical methods, and the result are gasp! CHEMICALS.
    Any of the complaints about toxicity in fullerenes are the same complaints that have chemical industry has faced for years.

    Yes, fullerenes may one day be used as building blocks for nano materials but IMO the 'problem' is a chemical one, not having anything to do with nanotechnology.

    what happened is that it will take much more than a little gadget for geeks to get a little action ;)

  19. Re:The Explosion Factor on Car Powered by Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    Gee, maybe they might take design cues from gas cars and put the air tank outside of the passanger area and trunk.

    BTW I used to work in a chemical plant and the walls were designed to pop off in the case of and over pressure. Making the panels around the tank capable of popping off would take care of the problem.

  20. Re:Varies on How Much Respect Do You Get? · · Score: 1

    I worked for a really good lead once, i used to refer to him as my 'management condom'.

  21. Re:misleading headline on 95% of IT Projects Not Delivered On Time · · Score: 1

    Another take on this is 'what does a delivery date mean'

    Perhaps if you look at a delivery date as having a 50% probability being met the statistic means even less. Very rarely have i seen a delivery date that has a real business reason for being.

    If we took a quantum view on software development we would all be happier.

  22. Re:Make it.. on How Long Do You Want Digital Media To Last? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obviously there is a cost/benfit balance here...

    nice try but like most examples trying to explain OOP, they pick an easy subject.

    Often time I find that real OOP problems aren't so straightforward.
