  1. Re:MeeGo? on Nokia Names Microsoft's Elop As New CEO · · Score: 2, Informative

    N900 was a 'public prototype', not something that could be a really competitive product. But if you liked it, just wait few weeks for the premiere of they new - MeeGoo based - device. some inside sources that should remain unnamed are claiming that it is going to be a big thing.

  2. Re:A close call but we made it this time on Fire and Explosion At Hydrogen Station Near Rochester Airport · · Score: 1

    Yes, and if you inhale dihydrogen monoxide at room temperature, the effects can be lethal!

    LMAO

    There's no reason for the US to be ashamed

    But still I'm yet to see a high-budget, special effects packed Hollywood movie about Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings. Let it be even as stupid as this 2001 Bay/Affleck Pearl Harbour thingy.

    You don't have oil in Australia, have you?

    I have difficulty understanding concept of X pounds against Y ounces.

    Sometimes I wish /. had this feature: 'translate non-metric-english-post to sane-units-using post'. I think this is doable with some neat google api.

    Explains the credit crunch...

  8. Re:Now What? on Intel Says Farewell To PCI Bus · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just transfer all the data to a microSD card.

  9. Re:Good Fix... on New "Circuit Breaker" Imposed To Stop Market Crash · · Score: 1

    It's not only allowed, its encouraged! Those rapid traders bring fluidity to the marked, allowing 'ordinary' customers to buy or sell whenever they need to.

  10. Re:Wasn't the Buran autonomous...? on USAF's Robotic X-37B Orbiter Launched For Test Flight · · Score: 3, Funny

    Exactly! I took over 20 years for american military scientist to decipher Buran's documentation and clone the technology. This again proves my theory that the cyrylic alphabet is best cipher out there!

  11. Re:What about copper? on Silicon As the New Lithium · · Score: 3, Informative

    Is'nt the world reserve of copper basically mined out?

    According to Wikipedia, "total amount of copper on Earth is vast (around 1014 tons just in the top kilometer of Earth's crust, or about 5 million years worth at the current rate of extraction)". Of course only small fraction of this is available using _today's_ technology.

  12. Lem predicted this one too on The Ultimate Limit of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    Stanisaw Lem in his novel "Fiasco" (1987) described concept of "ultimate computer" - computer that is constrained only by physical limits - like Planck constant and speed of light.

  13. Winamp on Ten Applications That Changed Computing · · Score: 1

    Srsly, Winamp. For the firs time we wanted to have our computers one while we were not actually sitting by them. Of course now there is tousands of apps like this, and I'm using Amarok myself, but Winamp was the one.

  14. Re:KDevelop on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I find KDevelop to be excellent IDE for C/C++ development. IT has few rough edges, but tons of features makes it simply the best choice. Integrated debugger, valgrind and cachegrind support, integrated documentation viewer, doxygen generator, ctags, version control etc.

    Most professional Linux developer I know are using KDevelop. Others are using Vim and Emacs. I have Emacs guy here who - when exposed to some nasty KDevelop's feature - always claims that "Emacs supports it too, I only have to find and install proper extension". He usually fails or forgets to do so.
