    Install to a vm, partition, or unused machine?

  2. Re:I hate them both on Java API and Microsoft's .NET API: a Comparison · · Score: 1

    When you're trying to put food on the table in this economy, working as an inexperienced developer isn't what most would call being a douchebag.

  3. Re:As much as I like Java... on Java API and Microsoft's .NET API: a Comparison · · Score: 1

    Huh? I thought java did have multidimensional arrays.

    'Win'? 'Lose'? They can't take away your choice to use a different framework/language on your own time.

    BASIC forever muddafuggas ! :D

    The sooner the better. Hopefully a Wii U-boat will take care of the lifeboats.

    Sorry, it was bugging me that such a perfect opportunity went to waste. :P

    HAH. Real businesses just store everything in word docs with the timestamps in the file name.

    Welcome to the Machine.

    Come with me. On behalf of Pink Floyd's publishers, we have matters to discuss.

    Or, you know, somebody who develops software for linux. Which, given that this is /., is a safe assumption to make that there are a few here. Or somebody who wants to breath new life into old PC hardware.

    They do that on a regular basis anyways.

  11. Re:copyrights and academic freedom on Professors Say Massive Open Online Courses Threaten Academic Freedom · · Score: 2

    You can't copyright research (papers and publishing on the other hand are a different story). And the university gets the patents off research, if applicable. When you apply for a job at a university, you usually have to sign paperwork that says something to this degree.

    Here in the US, we use Gallup polling for checking events and ports.

  13. Re:This is FUD on Genomics Impact On US Economy Approaches $1 Trillion · · Score: 1

    So your argument boils down to 'Where's my flying car?' with a dash of well poisoning and seasoned with willful ignorance. Well as a different everyday blue collar person, you don't speak for 'us'.

  14. Re:Where are the jobs? on Genomics Impact On US Economy Approaches $1 Trillion · · Score: 2

    Just back of the envelope mental math, but at $60,000 per worker (factoring benefits, training, travel, etc), that's roughly $9 billion, which doesn't seem terribly off. Add double that for supplies and equipment the workers come in contact with, so 9 + 18 = 27, which is in the same ballpark as the $31 billion. An immediate red flag suggesting BS is when you're around 50% or more away, ie the dollar number is near or greater than $40 billion or the job number is near less than ~100,000.

    The medical/chemical field is a hot field with a lot of high salary jobs. A different industry will have different numbers.

  15. Re:That is the worst story tag I've seen in a whil on Genomics Impact On US Economy Approaches $1 Trillion · · Score: 2

    Obviously genomics is the study of gnome genealogies. Come one people, this is basic english. :P

    Besides better understanding of ourselves, vastly improved drugs, methods to understand and predict inherited diseases, risk factor management, and more effective treatments, what has genomics done for us?

    Definitely need to tone it down. With a nice cup of coffee. At 3am, and not in an elevator.

  22. Re:Yes. on The Turbo Entabulator: A 3D-printed Mechanical Computer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Every programmer at some point in their life wonders if they can make a computer out of a given thing in front of them.

    Which given how many times computers and cpus have been made in minecraft and dwarf fortress, explains a lot.

    Github still keeps track of when you push, which is independent of what the local repository claims. AFAIK that can't be forged.
