  1. Re:Stupid Idea on Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail · · Score: 1

    If any of what you just stated was anywhere near the truth it would already exist. The part about being cheaper was funny in a spectacular way. How much is it going to cost to lay new rails from NY to chicago for your 250 mph train? Even after you spend a trillion dollars on it the plane is still faster.

  2. Calls? on Verizon iPhone Also Haunted By the Death Grip · · Score: 1

    Who in the hell uses a iphone to make phone calls anyhow? I have been carrying mine for nearly three years and have enjoyed every minute of it. If it where not for the fact that I need a older device to test my software on I would have gladly upgraded already. I have never had any call problems and I would not hesitate for a single second to buy the new one.

  3. Salute on Cheap Games a Risk To the Industry, Says Nintendo President · · Score: 2

    Salute Sir, I am releasing a new game next week. In your honor I will price it at .99 cents, enjoy.

  4. Three more days on Android Passes Symbian As Most-Shipped Mobile Platform · · Score: 1

    The iPhone becomes available for preorder for Verizon customers starting at 3am eastern time on February 3rd.

    Lets see how the sales jump in three days shall we.

  5. angry workers on How Do You Protect Servers From a Rogue Admin? · · Score: 1

    If you have workers who are leaving in anger then you have a organizational issue that security is not going to fix.

  6. end on Ruby Dropped In Netbeans 7 · · Score: 0

    I still cannot fathom why anyone would like to spend the day typing the following.

                        end

    It gives me pascal flashbacks.

    I know about the NDK, having used it I also know how hackish it is.

  8. Re:Did anyone read the tweet? on Carmack Says NGP Is a 'Generation Beyond' Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Exactly, it is also the reason iOS dominates as a gaming platform "native code execution".

  9. Re:carmack is an apple fanboy on Carmack Says NGP Is a 'Generation Beyond' Smartphones · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am quite sure he prefers the iphone platform for the same exact reasons I do. The bottom line is performance. If you are a game coder being able to optimize every single clock cycle is not a nice to have feature but a must. Yes I know you can do native code development on the android but it is still a bastardization at best. It is the number one reason that iOS dominates mobile phone / platform gaming.

  10. Change your profile pic on Your Face Will Soon Be In Facebook Ads · · Score: 1

    Why all the crying? Just change your profile pick to a goatse photo. I can see the ad now "this is what happens to your dung-hole if you drink starbucks"

  11. Re:Worst news I've heard in ages if it pans out on Biotech Company Making Fossil Fuels With a 'Library' of Bacteria · · Score: 1

    You are a fantastic example of why I loathe "greenies". They have a tendency to engage before thinking about what they are saying. Where do you think the carbon in this
    chain is coming from mr genius? Thats right it is recovered from the atmosphere CO2 to be exact, otherwise known as carbon neutral technology.

  12. Re:Don't buy Apple? on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 2

    Yes by all means, if I where you I would run out and buy a motorola based droid.

    This could take Leisure Suit Larry to a whole new level.

  14. Re:Fragmentation, ho! on Apple iPhone 5 To Flaunt New A8 Processor · · Score: 1

    Slow ass jvm vs blazing native code execution.

  15. Re:A single sentence can solve this problem. on US Scraps Virtual Fence Along Mexican Border · · Score: 1

    Actually I did mean to imprison the employer.

  16. A single sentence can solve this problem. on US Scraps Virtual Fence Along Mexican Border · · Score: 1

    Mandatory 1 year federal prison sentence for each illegal alien employed by anyone for any reason.

    That one sentence would solve the problem immediately and better than any fence or wall.

    You forgot to mention the performance died when marketing made you link in ie.h .

  18. We pull 12-14 on average on Are 10-11 Hour Programming Days Feasible? · · Score: 2

    We typically pull 12-14 average 5-6 days a week in salary positions. The company however pays us very well and you had better bet that if I
    want a "strawberry pop-tart" at any given moment someone is going to be tasked with driving across town to the grocery store to get it for me. I have my
    every need attended to so I have no problem going above and beyond.

  19. Re:Life without Apple on Verizon iPhone Could Double US Mobile Games Biz · · Score: 0, Troll

    Still a wash it takes one and a half of those cores to run the dalvik vm. Native iphone application code execution speed still lays waste to even the most powerful android devices.

  25. Re:Does anybody still use Java? on Google Donates Windowbuilder, Codepro To Eclipse · · Score: 1

    As a system administrator I love the hell out of java. It takes a metric shit ton of hardware to run the most basic app at acceptable speeds. If it where not for java I would likely be out of a job.
