  1. Basket Ball Score Board on Ideal, and Actual, IT Performance Metrics? · · Score: 1

    I like the basket ball score board that the Cisco Systems support team uses. They should add a buzzer to it when its time to take a break. Or overtime.

  2. Re:Think of the whales :( on First Floating Wind Turbine Buoyed Off Norway · · Score: 1

    But seriously, is the whale killing business profitable. Perhaps you can burn the blubber to generate energy.

  3. ..with friggin laser beams on their heads. on For Airplane Safety, Trying To Keep Birds From Planes · · Score: 1

    How about birds with friggin laser beams on their heads.. or a friggin laser beam on the head of the plane?

  4. Set Top Box Browser on Mozilla To Launch "Build Your Own Browser" · · Score: 1

    Now this would have been super useful about 6 months ago for me, when we needed an embedded linux browser.

  5. Re:Question for Mac OS X Users on Unix Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering how you got about fixing a kernel panic.. Do you have the source to the kernel? or at least headers and libs?

  6. Re:Question for Mac OS X Users on Unix Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    I think what I'm worried about, is can I get gcc running on it and will nothing compile? Will i end up with a platform where I can't compile anything the runs on linux. Or will it have so few things for it, I'm better off on linux?

  7. Question for Mac OS X Users on Unix Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    I'm a Linux expert, but have never used Macs very much, and now I'm starting to use them more. My question is:

    What is the major difference between Linux and Mac OS X?

    Which one is better?

    My GF's Mac had a kernel panic, and I was going to try to fix it.. I know how to do this with Linux but not macs.. On linux.. I'd boot a kernel of a disk, and mount the fs and check the filesystem or re-install a kernel.. or disable init scripts to find out what the problem is...

    Will it be hard for me to learn OS X? Is it worth getting a Mac - I might get my GF to buy me one?

  8. Split-C and Titainium + MPI on New Languages Vs. Old For Parallel Programming · · Score: 1

    I remember back in the 90's uc berkeley had developed split-c and titanium.

    Split-c was interesting in it was C based and had some interesting concepts such as running block on one or many processors, synchronizing processors and spread pointers (pointers across memory across machines).

    Titainium was a Java like language for parallel processing, but at the time didn't have multithreaded implemented.

    MPI seemed to be the main api used on standard languages.

  9. OEM HP servers? on Cisco Introduces Rackmount Servers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Last I knew, Cisco was selling products using OEM'ed HP servers. Sure they aren't just HP servers?

  11. UC BERKELEY - NACHOS? on Hardware-Accelerated Graphics On SGI O2 Under NetBSD · · Score: 1

    When are those idiots at berkeley gonna stop teaching their os class using NACHOS, and move back to writing BSD? Thats whats killing it in my opinion.

  12. Fuel Injection on Hardware-Accelerated Graphics On SGI O2 Under NetBSD · · Score: 1

    In searching the internet you can add fuel injection to an 84 accord if you'd like. I'd put a thicker jet if i were you. Does it have a roter or a coil pack?

  13. chickenshit on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering who is so chickenshit to say "Ohh.. i can press the delete button." What if some thug said "Ohh.. i can snap his neck?"

  14. Your post was enabled by tesla on Tesla's New York Laboratory Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    How can you put down a man who enabled you to post your opinion. Why don't you move to the desert or country and try living without AC power?

  15. Which APIs? Any Database Functionality. on Google App Engine Adds Java Support, Groovy Meta-Programming · · Score: 1

    I'm curious to know which api's they support.. Sounds like only servlets and mail.. I wonder if its a complete J2EE container, which is pure bloat. Also do they have any standard sql functionality in their hosting solution?

  16. RIA - Flash on Microsoft's New Multiple-Browser Tester · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Flash solve all these problems? With video requiring the player and the player so widespread, why not just go RIA?

  17. AJAX / Flash / JAVA on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1

    How about the ability for web applications, flash/flex applications and java applications to run off of its web browser?

  18. Enable them to do their jobs on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    The best thing a manager can do is enabled engineers to do their jobs, don't disable them. Don't make technical descions. Descions should be made when dev's disagree, or present the cases for decisions to be made. Also budget should be your main constraint.

  19. Just Read this book on Programming .NET 3.5 · · Score: 1

    This book is not of o'reilly quality and reminds me of sams or wrox. They had too many personal stories and it was light on technicalities. It was akin to some large paste of some code they wrote and then a followed up chopped up description of the easy parts. The ajax part was horrific on how basic it was. The WCF part didn't help me pick it up.. anyways I'd suggest that anyone interested in this book to look through it, rather than depened on o'relly's name.

  20. Re:How about Meeting In Person? on Cisco Demos Public Rooms For Telepresence · · Score: 1

    Well I imagine i can have sex in one of these conference rooms and others can watch, and it can be recording the session at the same time. Proof.. You got Proof! I wonder if this thing can handle the smells.. =P>

  21. Re:How about Meeting In Person? on Cisco Demos Public Rooms For Telepresence · · Score: 1

    I've actually had sex in person. There is really no substitute.

  22. How about Meeting In Person? on Cisco Demos Public Rooms For Telepresence · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At those costs, it is cheaper to fly out and meet in person.

  23. DNA vs IPv6 Addresses on World's Smallest IPv6 Stack By Cisco, Atmel, SICS · · Score: 1

    Why not use a DNA sequence rather than an IPv6 address? How many bits are there in a DNA Sequence. It seems to be encodeable in a very small space smaller than cells. It also give more important information than just subnet or vendor information.

  24. Wizardry Classes? on Blizzcon Begins, Diablo 3 Wizard Class Unveiled · · Score: 1

    That makes me wonder: Is there any place that actually teaches wizardry. In todays world, I'm sure there some one out there teaching it, but is there an actual reputable university teaching wizardry or something near wizardry (besides teaching EE, Physics or CS - if you call that wizardry).

  25. Chickenshit on Microsoft Programming Contest Hacked and Defaced · · Score: 1

    After working for Microsoft, I had a lowered respect for them, but now after this kind of chickenshit stuff, I have new found respect for them (unless its an inside job). Its creating thats challenging, destroying is easy. Most any engineer won't crack, because they create, not destroy, when in fact they can cause the most havoc, but its not worth it due to integrity, and the fact that its too easy.
