  1. Re:To The Stars, Then. on Newfound Planet Has Earth-Like Orbit · · Score: 1

    For some reason entropy was incredibly low at the point of the big bang. How did that happen? Who knows, but it certainly did happen.

    Are we to believe that it occurred once and it can never occur again given an infinite amount of time?

  2. Re:Power Power Power on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 1

    I've thought about this a lot, and I'm still not sold on template engines for PHP. PHP already provides the same functionality as template engines (usually in a more readable syntax, IMO).

    Note that I'm not saying it's a good idea to mix presentation and app logic, but you don't need a template engine to prevent this. Just use PHP for the display logic in HTML pages, and PHP for the app logic in classes/function libraries.

  3. Re:why I already hate filmgimp on Film Gimp · · Score: 2, Funny

    No need to overcomplicate things. GNUby-Doo should be acceptable.

  4. Re:Gen-X, but then what? on Generation Wrecked · · Score: 1

    I recently attended a generational marketing presentation regarding how to present web-based information to maximize appeal to particular generations. Anyway, they called those born from '65-'85 generation X, and the next generation the "Millenials".

  5. Re:Bill Gates said it first. on Making the Case Against Software Patents? · · Score: 1

    That is the exact quote. Just copy/paste it into google and you'll get several references to it.

  6. Re:128-bit linux? on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, I remember reading a few years ago that the Dreamcast has a 128-bit graphics pipeline. As others have pointed out, this does not correspond with the processor bandwidth.

  7. Re:Real Geek Gift Ideas on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1

    just because God knows what we'll do doesn't mean we don't have free will (that's a logical paradox...think about it)

    This is not a logical paradox. God can know what you will do without deciding what you will do.

    Think about this: Your friend knows you so well that in a given situation, she can predict precisely how you will act. Does that imply that she in any way controlled your action?

  8. The game I always think of... on Up, Up, Down, Down: Part Four · · Score: 1

    The game that always comes to mind when I reminisce about my childhood is Pirates for the C64. I remember spending something like half an hour real-time trying to sail my ship from one end of the map to the other, directly into the wind -- that's addiction! Apparently, I was never meant to be a seafaring type.
