  1. Re:Ruby?! on Ruby Clouds: Engine Yard Vs. Heroku · · Score: 1

    if number crunching is so important that a 10% difference is important you'd be using Fortran anyway :-P

    FTFY

  2. Re:easy to turn off as well on Carrier IQ Software May Be in iOS, Too · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thanks for showing how much of a fanboi you are. Hiding software with keyloggers is okay cause Android is open source! But Apple baaaad because they have it disabled by default and easily turned off by one settings switch rather than having to reflash your phone.

  3. Re:From HyperCard to PhotoCard on Why Was Hypercard Killed? · · Score: 2

    Which is true. Have you ever written software for customers? Outside of vague generalities most of them don't know exactly what they want. And this isn't some statement only about "lusers" as I've come across this even from highly technical people too.

  4. Re:AMD = Stagnated. on AMD Cancels 28nm APUs, Starts From Scratch At TSMC · · Score: 1

    Or you could use the cheaper and still better performing i3 2130 which.is only 149.99. Once again you choose more expensive alternatives rather than the cheaper ones.

  5. Re:Competition ? on AMD Cancels 28nm APUs, Starts From Scratch At TSMC · · Score: 1

    You misinterpreted the statement to be about APUs whilst the statement was about the CPU market in general.

  6. Re:Rolling your own on Canonical Drops CouchDB From Ubuntu One · · Score: 1

    Or they could use MySQL, SQLite, etc. instead like the summary mentions?

  7. Re:Rolling your own on Canonical Drops CouchDB From Ubuntu One · · Score: 1

    Huh? They are swapping their database abstraction layer so they can more easily use other backends like MySQL, SQLite, etc. instead of being tied to only couchdb. How exacty is that a bad thing? They aren't "rolling their own" since they are wanting to use already existing databases.

  8. Re:Anti-Trust on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Because there are no virus scanners, rootkit detectors, etc. for Linux, right? Oh wait there are...

  9. Re:donotwant on Dual-Core Android PC Now Comes On a USB Stick · · Score: 1

    What's to not understand? They don't want to be compatible because then they have no leverage over the tech. On the other hand they can, as in this case, patent the tech and lock you in.

  10. Re:donotwant on Dual-Core Android PC Now Comes On a USB Stick · · Score: 1

    Because compatibility isn't their goal?

  11. Re:Fraud on B&N Pummels Microsoft Patent Claims With Prior Art · · Score: 3, Informative

    You mean except for the fact that the patent in the summary DOES mention a number of examples of the claimed prior art in its background section? For example, it specifically mentions Mosiac in it. So what fraud do you mean?

  12. Re:Glad I read this, I learned a few things on Occupy Flash? · · Score: 2

    Well that's pretty impressive. It's been around for 15 years, and is still heavily used.

    Why is that impressive? 15 years is nothing in comparison to C's 39 years, Fortran's 54 years, the Zilog80's 35 years, etc. Only idiots who constantly jump to the latest "ooh shiny" fad technology would think 15 years is all that long. Tried and true tech lasts many times longer.

    Although we do know that if this was in a Microsoft product you wouldn't be making such an excuse.

  16. Re:Go with the simple over complex theory on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 1

    you have never read any of the press directed toward pro-life protesters then.

    You mean the same people who stalk and harass doctors and their families, blow up health clinics and have a history of intimidation, violence and murder of anyone who dares have a different opinion? When you can show me stories about pro-lifers being murdered and/or having their property blown-up for nothing more than their beliefs you might have.a point.

  17. Re:Go with the simple over complex theory on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 1

    However they aren't just protesting Wall Street, they are protesting capitalism.

    So what? Care to point to where the first amendment says you can't exercise your rights if you protest capitalism?

  18. Re:Go with the simple over complex theory on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You do realize that the first amendment has no qualifiers such as "as long as you never inconvenience anyone", right.

    That would be SLES not OpenSuSE.

    Now that we're at the physical limits of clock speeds,

    Since when? You can easily overclock most modern chips to 4ghz and with enough cooling to 5 or 6+ ghz. The i7 sandy bridge chips for example have been overclocked past 6ghz. So exactly what supposed "physical limit" do you mean?

    This is not a "reasonable" fee which is what patent law calls for.

    Voluntary RAND agreements from standards nodies call for this but where in US statutory law does it say this?
