  1. Re:The Zen of First Post on The Zen of SOA · · Score: 1

    Thanks for telling us what the acronym means, but now can you explain what the hell "Service Oriented Architecture" is? Stupid jargon and consultant-driven catchphrases are a big part of why I left technology as a career and went into the fine arts and academia. I've never regretted the decision, and judging from the tone of many slashdot comments, it was a very healthy move.

  2. Re:And how much cpu power is needed at that speed? on USB 3.0 Is Ten Times Faster; Get It In 2010 · · Score: 1

    I hate to say this, but Firewire's dead.

    Don't tell me that. I just dropped 3 Gs on a Digidesign 003 deck for my DAW. Actually, maybe Firewire is dead, but I'm betting IEEE 1394 will have a long productive life, at least in my studio. I do enjoy people who pronounce the death of a particular technology, usually with their index finger pointing skyward and in a deep basso profundo. Shitfire, I still know people who are getting work done on Nubus Macs.

  3. Re:Why 32-bit? on Windows 7 Beta Released To Public After Delay · · Score: 1

    Linux runs on a whole lot more computers than Windows 7 ever will.

    I don't think you mean in real numbers. I would bet that Windows 7 will run on many more computers than Linux ever will. I'm not saying that's a good thing, just that it's so.

  4. Darwin Award Nominee on Trojan Found At Torrent Sites Insists "Downloading Is Wrong" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can we have the name of the person who downloaded the "serial key generator" and found this trojan? What did it claim to generate a serial key for, Duke Nukem vs Predator 2?

  5. Re:Civil Liberties on A Look Back At Kurzweil's Predictions For 2009 · · Score: 1

    Ray Kurzwiel said, in a 1997 Wired Magazine interview, that I would write this comment in early 2009. At least that's what the interviewer thinks he said. His speech was somewhat impaired because of the large handful of phyto-nutrients and HGH precursors he was trying to swallow at the time.
