    Late means the apology didn't come from the original offenders either. justice denied.

  2. Re:Feel free to "re-wow" it... at least a bit on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    It is pretty amazing! I just meant the way it was written gives the wrong initial impression ;)

  3. Re:Natural Progression Leads Where? on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    mod up! bwhahaha! - oh wait, is that a zombie-thriller, not a family comedy? I'd buy your novel! Autonomous Zombie Apocalypse!

  4. I thought 'Holy Crap!' on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    When I read "...paralyzed from the neck down ... was able to get within 500 yards of the summit... with the help of a HAL exoskeleton worn by his friend " - No wait, Unwow that one

  5. Re:Seriously? on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    Only a matter of time before the "HAL 9000" model is released with the slogan "We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."

  6. Re:The newscaster's commentary made my brain bleed on Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds · · Score: 1

    I know my brain also bled. It's funny how they framed the "exclusive" preview inside an iPhone!

  7. Re:Hacked hardware? on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 1

    In that case they could be crafted into excellent honeypots against the mysterious laptop donors

  8. Re:Here's one... on Dirty Coding Tricks To Make a Deadline · · Score: 5, Funny

    Were you also responsible for #DEFINE RND_BSOD = 1 ?

    They say repetition is good for a growing mind. They say repetition is good for a growing mind.

  10. Re:Windows 7 on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    Everyday use is fine, but when you develop you start to see plenty of weird glitches, that includes proper garbage collection.
    Running the final compiled binary is fine, just the developing stage eats up resources like crazy.
    Tip: sysinternals process explorer is excellent for tracking processes and walking their stacks to find bad threads.

  11. Re:Health Issues? on Wireless Power Consortium Pushes for "Qi" Standard · · Score: 1

    Good point, and some of us also have metal through those parts. Rule out unhealthy health concerns.

  12. Re:when will it become self reproducing on IBM Scientists Build Computer Chips From DNA · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the links, very informative reads :)

  13. Re:Well of Course on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    You're right people love bling. Personally I'll kill Aero first thing, I'm starving for stability! I got the RC running great on virtualbox on Ubuntu, so I can confirm, it's less hungry than Vista!

  14. Re:Resigned to it on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    Vista IS awful! Code long enough on any OS and you see it's true colors. The security is a blatant work-around to their early bad designs, developer tools require Admin rights, opening up more holes that equates to the ozone.
    I'm concerned since 7 is a brushed-up version of Vista.

  15. Re:Windows 7? on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    Well obviously their marketing worked it's magic on some of us. However I'm not falling for it, their OS will always have issues, just like the beaten Microsoft child, I'll be wary and cautious for any undeserved strikes.

  16. Re:Windows 7 on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    From the start Microsoft jumped the gun to get into the market, at any cost, including early releases and rushed work. And it's been like that ever since, you're right about poor management. Their #1 priority was cash, not happy computing for the world. Cash. Money talks and B$ walks.

  17. Re:Windows 7 on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    It virtualizes fine on my Ubuntu PC. Developing in Vista is bad, I know the pain you fear. All of it. I'm looking forward to working on 7, compared to Vista, I'm just praying for more stability! There's a 50/50 chance I'll be disappointed. Optimistically.

  18. Re:Not a database error on Database Error Costs Social Security Victims $500M · · Score: 1

    The programmers should have used HASH(Firstname + Surname) for the key instead, at least make The Daily WTF!

  19. Re:Guns? on Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns · · Score: 3, Funny

    idclip would just cause headaches, unfortunately

  20. Re:Not Reading It on The Mice That Didn't Make It · · Score: 1

    I vote "One of the top 20 /. articles that didn't make it"

  21. Re:Zebra on Linux-Friendly Label Printer Recomendations? · · Score: 1

    I also vote Zebra, fast and sturdy. I flash and program for the TLP2844 and related models regularly. Argox and Datamax are okay but have hiccups with those on occasion, they're still good if you know how to treat them.

  22. Re:I'm very pleasantly surprised on Ubuntu Christian Edition 5.0 Beta · · Score: 1

    I don't need to rail, the FSM and IPU give me all the love and understanding I need.

  23. Re:And they said that GW would be a bad thing on Northern Sea Route Through Arctic Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    The shipping company's the one with less expenses, they benefit. But if we can melt the caps enough, everyone can benefit! Grab a surfboard dude! Totally!

  24. Re:Very good news! on East Africa Gets High-Speed Internet Access Via Undersea Cable · · Score: 2, Informative

    For interests sake, here are some photos of one of our smaller coastal cities - Note all the wild animals. We have a very healthy human/nature relationship

  25. Re:From RSA... on East Africa Gets High-Speed Internet Access Via Undersea Cable · · Score: 1

    I always get depressed when I hear how, in the US, you get high speed internet WITH your cable-TV. That is unheard of here in South Africa, and an untapped market at that!
