  1. Root Prompt on Debian Is the Most Important Linux · · Score: 1

    I could care less what it is, debian, centos, solaris, aix etc etc etc, just give me a root prompt and I am at home. Oh and just for the record no, I don't give a damn about you sudo troopers.

  2. Re:Military Law != Civilian Law on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1

    "leaked clearly indicate war crimes committed by our service personnel"

    That may or may not have been the case however if manning did feel that to be the case it is his job to bring it up through the military process in place to handle such issues. There is no place in the military for rouge thinking you obey or face the consequences.

  3. genetics not training on IT Graduates Not "Well-Trained, Ready-To-Go" · · Score: 1

    When interviewing for positions I don't even give the school a second glance, I could care less. What I look for is thought patterns and behavior that tells me this person is genetically predisposed for this type of work. Colleges work under the assumption that anyone can be trained to do a certain job, that is not however reality.

  4. Re:Who? on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    As a military vet who dealt with sensitive data every day I highly disagree. What should happen to him is a firing squad for treason committed during a war. Now had the leak been accidental or leaked some other way that is a different story. This however is the case of a military member sworn by oath, knowing full well the seriousness of his actions.

  5. Re:hmm on MacBook Pro Specs Leaked, iPad Event March 2 · · Score: 1

    I have on that the keyboard top has cracked on three times. When it cracks and starts annoying me enough I walk into a apple store and they just clean the whole laptop and replace the cover for me, yes for free. When I buy another laptop it will be another mac, their customer support is without question the best.

    I am waiting for the girls virtual joystick stick controller that has shake weight action.

  7. Re:Why is Python so low? on Comment Profanity by Language · · Score: 1

    It's low because we don't have to waste our lives typing useless semi colons, curly braces and the word end.

  8. Re:Qt ecosystem...Not soon enough on First Alpha of Qt For Android Released · · Score: 1

    Not soon enough I am afraid, it would finally make android a first class device.

  9. Profound on Iceland Eyes Liquid Magma As Energy Source · · Score: 3, Funny

    How profound, we can heat water with magma.

  10. Re:Ditch Java on Can Android Without Dalvik Avoid Oracle's Wrath? · · Score: 1

    Java is also the achilles heal of the android platform. It is the very reason that it is and will remain a second rate gaming platform. In such small devices execution speed is critical to the users experience. Apples insistence on native code execution is spot on, it is the only way to take maximum advantage of such underpowered devices. There is a never ending of complaints of poor game performance on android devices.

  11. Re:A little too convenient on New Android Malware Robs Bandwidth For Fake Searches · · Score: 0

    The two Windows Phone 7 users I doubt even noticed.

  12. Mistakes on Anatomy of the HBGary Hack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But how many of these mistakes is your company making?

    Most companies probably make these mistakes, all except the biggest mistake which was poking a sleeping bear.

  13. Building it is the easy part. on How To Build a Telescope That Trumps Hubble · · Score: 1

    Building one is the easy part, launching it into orbit is another matter entirely.

  14. Re:But Worse Than Distributing on Android? on Apple To Keep 30% of Magazine Subscription Revenue · · Score: 1

    Simple, IOS walks circles around android when it comes to native code execution speed.

  15. Re:The Future Niche Market of the iPhone on Apple To Keep 30% of Magazine Subscription Revenue · · Score: 1

    I am happy for you, however I will stick with developing for superior platform running native code.

    Yes it is just killing the App store isn't it?? Oh wait.

    Put some more years under your belt grasshopper and you to will fit the examples described.

  18. Re:We don't use sudo? on Common Traits of the Veteran Unix Admin · · Score: 1

    Out of all the unix shops I have worked in I have not seen a single admin using sudo to do anything. I assure you I have been in some damn serious environments. If it makes you feel good, by all means do it.

  19. Phantasmagoria? on The Most Violent Video Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    I got a hand on a copy of this while in europe, by far the most violent game I have ever seen. In fact it was banned in most countries to include the US and Australia.

    Exactly my thoughts, he picked the absolute worst example.

  21. Re:Solaris on Post-Oracle Purchase, How Is Sun's Software Doing? · · Score: 1

    I have run postgresql servers for years but could never suggest it for high transaction volume usage. Yes it will do nearly anything oracle does until you have to hit some scale.

  22. Solaris on Post-Oracle Purchase, How Is Sun's Software Doing? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have been making a killing doing Solaris to Linux migrations since the Sun purchase. My wallet cannot thank Oracle enough.

    Minecraft is cool, but it could have been fantastic had it been written on a real game engine.

    I Oxy-Propane torch my old ones into a blob of molten crap good luck with recovering that.

  25. Re:low standards on Verizon iPhone Also Haunted By the Death Grip · · Score: 1

    Really, I happen to use a Mac because it is the best hardware I could buy. I make my living on a computer so I am willing to pay a premium to have to best tools money can buy.

    I bet you think craftsman tools are better than Snap-On also? Having been a professional mechanic many years ago I can tell you that craftsman was good but it was not the best. When I put a wrench on a rusted up old bolt I would reach for snap on wrench any day. Why, well when I round that bastard off with a almost good enough wrench I just lost three hours of pay and frustration.

    Same goes for the computers I use, time is money and if I am farting around with sub standard shit I am loosing money.
