  1. Clojurescript is another option on The Great JavaScript Debate: Improve It Or Kill It · · Score: 1

    Clojure has excellent language design and parallelism and the team recently released ClojureScript. A video introduction can be found here.

  2. Re:Yeah...so what? on Hubble Snaps Photo of Extrasolar Planet · · Score: -1, Redundant


    I, for one, welcome our new heavy-gravity overlords.

    Q. "What do you do?"
    A. "Oh ... I'm a programmer."

    Q. "In what languages?"
    A. "Oh ... HTML mostly"

  3. Trouble starts at 26 minutes 50 seconds (or so) on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 3, Informative

    Fast forward to the interesting portion of this riveting presentation.

  4. Re:/. could mod down the GNAA on Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I was going to post something similar, but you beat me too it.

    Why abuse something like Wikipedia? Only an asshole would.

  5. Re:Want to see a bigger Doom3 trailer? on Doom 3 Vaporware no More · · Score: 2, Informative

    And, actually, you can abuse my bandwidth if you'd like until Monday 8:00am ( 14:00 GMT Jan. 12)

  6. Want to see a bigger Doom3 trailer? on Doom 3 Vaporware no More · · Score: 1

    A short look at the html of the site along with a small guess yields: http://www.doom3.com/play_large.html The default trailer is entirely to small to make out details.

  7. Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide on Unix Shell Programming, Third Edition · · Score: 1

    Another (free) resource is the very readable, very thorough Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide [http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/]. Mendel Cooper has done an excellent job with this project. If a person wished to learn more about Bash, I would direct them here *first*.

  8. LEAF is very solid on SmoothWall 2.0 Linux-Based Firewall Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    The LEAF distribution of Linux (leaf.sourceforge.net has performed excellently over the years. Various sub-distributions have tackled different things, and I've happily been using Bering at my company for years now. Smoothwall and Bering sound similar: Bering offers a 2.4 kernel, one floppy default running size, easy setup, good documentation, an active and helpful mailing list, and Shorewall for those of who don't want to muck around with iptables scripts. (I'm guilty of using iptables by itself for some time. Shorewall's thorough implementation is sobering to this do-it-yourself-er).

  9. free web developer for hire : ) on Open-Source Component Repository? · · Score: 1

    It's an exciting idea. I'd be very interested in working with somebody on something like this, either an existing website or a new one. Email me (ryan@l-s.com) if you'd like to know what I could do to contribute.

  10. possible possibilities ... on Linux Intranet Application and Collaboration Software? · · Score: 1

    I took a 5 minute gander over at opendesk.com and saw a few interesting features. It's open-source, so perhaps you could use it as a springboard for rolling your own.

    Speaking of rolling your own ... (I see a number of people have already mentioned this route ... it's too bad there isn't a full-blown package out there to give some alternatives to IBM's Lotus ... but I digress) you could check out the resources at linuxdev.net. An application server, like Enhydra, combined with an LDAP server could fit the bill. There's plenty of other application servers out there; I work with ColdFusion on daily basis. Allaire (maker of ColdFusion) has released a CF server stub for linux and a full port is on its way.

    Intranet wants/needs can differ greatly from company to company. Whatever solution you end up with, it'd be nice to have the flexibility to customize. *flex coding fingers*

  11. Yes, do us proud on Perfect score in Pac-Man · · Score: 3

    "Mitchell purposefully arrived on July 1st -- Canada's Day -- and won the title in time for the Fourth of July. He even wore a red, white and blue, Star-Star Spangled Banner tie to emphasize the patriotic sentiments behind his efforts."

    I'm working on finishing up a web (pseudo-)programming project this evening to meet a deadline, getting all stressed out knowing I'm not going to make it, and when I read that, I just laughed my ass off!

    Right on, fellow American! Do us Proud!

    *cackle*

  12. Re:don't use it then on Microsoft Embraces and Extends Perl · · Score: 1

    I wish it were that simple. If Micro$oft "extends and embraces" something, and I don't like what they turn it into, I may very well have no choice but to use it. If my language choices were governed by language quality alone, I don't think any of us would have a problem with what Micro$oft is doing. The unfortunate reality is, due to politically pressures in the job-world, the programmer rarely (in my experience) can choose to program in something based on language quality alone (or at all)!

  13. "This page is not here yet" on VA Research Obtains linux.com Domain · · Score: 1

    So...I go to linux.com and that's what I see. Someone should put a watch on it and tell /. when it goes live. *** Enter /. effect ***
