  1. Re:It's unfortunate on Why Richard Stallman Was Right All Along · · Score: 1

    Fat or not I think any country stupid enough to step foot on the mother land is toast in very short order. Even completely discounting our military americans bought over 1.5 million weapons last month alone. I am not sure exactly what the statistics are now but I would imagine there is at least one serviceable weapon for every man woman and child.

  2. Re:Why Cloud Services are Not Recommended on Google Health's Lifeline Runs Out · · Score: 1

    It is called disaster recovery and just because you are running on a cloud providers infrastructure does not eliminate the requirement.

    My advice to customers is to plan for failure recovery just as you would if running in house.

    Do you mean internationally observed airspace and or iranian observed airspace?.

    Of course then again you are totally ignoring the fact that they will be hunted and destroyed from the air. MAD gear, active and passive sono buoys, helo dippers, passive and active installed arrays. Once found the last thing they will hear is a P3 marking on top dropping a half dozen MK 50 torpedoes.

    The cole incident would not have happened if we where not sucking up to yemen (refueling) that is the only reason it was in port.

    Iran has old russian diesel subs noisy and easy to target. I assure you the US Navy knows exactly where every single one of them are 24/7. In the event of a conflict those tin cans will be the first to the bottom.

    Hey Iran, you know where the US Navy goes? Anywhere it wants to.

  8. Re:Having done android development, I can tell you on Why 2012 Will Be the Year of the Android Tablet · · Score: 1

    With the market being so piss poor for android why do you even bother compiling a version and testing it? I know personally I quit supporting it, the expense of it cannot be justified.

  10. Re:Money on Why Developers Still Prefer iOS To Android · · Score: 1

    The game plays exactly the same on both platforms there are zero differences.

  11. Re:I'm the opposite on Why Developers Still Prefer iOS To Android · · Score: 1

    Yes it is always best to test a free version of your app in the android market first. Pissing off a couple of thousand android users that will never pay a buck for the release version is not going to matter.

  12. Money on Why Developers Still Prefer iOS To Android · · Score: 4, Informative

    The reason is simple, I use a cross platform tool kit to create my apps. The apple versions out sell the android versions by at least 100-1 ratio. I quit even bothering to compile a android version. If I spend more than a hour testing and compiling a android version I am wasting my time. Once there is a few bucks to be made I will likely return to the android market, until then I am completely IOS / Apple Store focused.

    I could care less what a android fan boy says.
    1. Apple Store has better monetization.
    2. IOS applications perform better (native execution)
    3. The platform is standardized I am not trying to build for 300 different devices.

    Splunk is great but it should be noted it comes with a extremely high cost.

  14. Developers on Renault Opens Up the 'Car As a Platform' · · Score: 1

    Quote : "We need developers to work on apps"

    Hmmm, no the monetization in the android market sucks so bad I don't even waste my time hitting the compile button for a android release.

  15. keep building them I will keep using them on Why We Need More Programming Languages · · Score: 3, Funny

    Keep building new languages, I will surely find a way to bill hours for it.

    Java - billable hours and ass loads of hardware
    PHP - quick and dirty web development cleanup billable hours
    Python - one off get it done quick billable hours
    Perl - systems stuff they will have to call me back in to maintain
    Java Script - client hack more billable hours
    C - debugging more billable hours
    Ruby - billable hours for rewrite to address performance issues including a ass load of hardware .NET - perfect for lock in and selling licenses, rewrite in java once it is determined that hey we need to support other platforms.

  16. Coal Burner? on GM, NHTSA Delayed Volt Warnings To Prop Up Sales · · Score: 1

    Just another coal burning car designed for those with poor ROI math skills. I cannot honestly understand why anyone would buy any of these vehicles in the first place.

  20. Re:I bought a Volt today, and I love it. on Chevy Volt Fire Prompts Safety Investigation For EV Batteries · · Score: 1

    No I don't think you are crazy at all.

    I did some quick calculations. Accounting for a hideous high gasoline price you could have powered another Cruze for 210,000 miles for the difference in price. Thats not accounting for the price of electricity, maintenance etc.

    But hey if it makes you feel good, just do it.

    99 bucks is a small price to pay to play in a market that actually produces revenue, unlike the android market.

  25. The Myth on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 1, Interesting

    First of all the myth needs to be busted that somehow a continued education is magically going to equal success. Nothing could be further from the truth, it can help in certain situations but as all things in life there is no guarantee.

    We all are born with certain talents, it is those that can find and monetarily exploit those talents that find success. Unfortunately we where not all born as equals, some will easily find success while others may struggle their entire lives.
