  1. 36hrs is my record on Programming Marathons? · · Score: 1

    Taking CS at Purdue, we had two weeks for each
    project. They each took me about two hours to
    complete. We had 4 weeks for the final project
    so I started two days before it was due thinking
    it would be a 4 hour job. 36 hours later... I
    only took bathroom breaks. Got it in on time.

  10. Re:shame... on Financial Companies Ask IM Companies To Work Together · · Score: 1

    Sounds good to me. Money represents value. It alows
    you to trade the best of your effort for the best
    of someone elses. If an idea is of no value to
    anyone, noone will pay money for it.

  14. Re:libertarianism is extremely foolish on Grubb for Congress. By Weblog. · · Score: 1

    I suppose people being polluted on would bring a
    suit against the company. People who own the
    property with the wildlife on it would get pretty
    pissed about the polution. We already have a fairly
    good idea about what's bad and what's okay. If it
    doesn't naturally occur in nature, then don't put it
    there. The government has the teeth it needs.
    They're the government. I propose they use thier
    teeth only to protect people from fraud or force.
    They'll find that they have more teeth than
    necessary.

  15. Re:libertarianism is extremely foolish on Grubb for Congress. By Weblog. · · Score: 5, Informative

    The idea is not to do away with all legislation,
    you're thinking of anarchy. Libertarianism seeks
    to reduce legislation to the origional consitutional
    roles or protecting the population from force and
    fraud. The gub'ment does a piss poor job of most
    of the stuff it's involved in. What's needed to
    prevent exploitation and toxic dumps is to make sure
    that the true cost is stuck to the entity making the
    purchase. If you polute, you must pay to clean it up
    and pass those costs on to your customers. Then
    you'll have an incentive not to polute, or at least
    come up with a cheap efficient way to clean it up.

  19. Apple's solution is just about ideal. on Should "B" be the Same as "b"? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OS X remebers case, but ignores it. This way your
    file is named just the way you typed it, caps and
    all, but if you reference it with different
    capitilazation, it still matches. If you try to make
    a second file with the same letters but different
    capitalization, it won't let you. The best of both
    worlds. No multiple files with the same name, yet
    case is preserved for looks and correct grammar.

  20. Why NiCd? on DraganFly III Gyro-stabilized RC Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Why are they using 20 year old battery technology?
    You'd think they'd want a light weight, longer
    lasting power source like lithium ion or lithium
    polymer. It wouldn't add more that $50 to the price.
    The battery is probably the heviest item on the
    thing. It just don't make sense...

  21. Re:bad juju on X-Box Flaw: MS Won't Use DMCA · · Score: 1

    Money is a representation of value. People exchange
    money as way to trade the very best of their ability
    for the best of yours. If the trade is volutary and
    equitable for both parties, then those that are
    just out to make money should be commended for
    being able provide a valuable good or service that
    others are willing to pay good money for. Nothing
    wrong with that.

    How do you figure the Cothlic chruch's stance
    against condoms helps to spread HIV? If you follow
    their teachings, don't use condoms, don't have sex
    outside of marriage, you're fine. If you don't
    follow their teachings, use condoms and have
    extra-marital sex, you still much more likely to
    catch HIV. Why would anybody not use condoms *and*
    have sex outside of marriage? Certianly not
    somehting good Catholics participate in.
