  1. Re:Comparing 2 different things... on iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    I'm curious, what do his clients want or need since you seem to know the answer? Maybe you forgot to provide the onus of explanation in your negating statement?

  2. firST POst! on NVIDIA To Publicly Release Some Tegra GPU Documentation · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That's supposed to be in 3D y'all!

  3. Re:obvious question on W3C Releases First Working Draft of Web Crypto API · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just wondering how would you authenticate yourself with your browser? A username password authentication? If not, what would happen if someone else used your browser and had access to everything of yours?

  4. Re:Check your countries. on iPhone 5 GeekBench Results · · Score: 0

    A small note, the North American version of the SIII is actually faster than the International version, since the NA version has 2gb RAM while the International version only has 1gb RAM.

  5. Guess he will change his mind on Former Xerox PARC Researcher: Windows 8 Is a Cognitive Burden · · Score: -1, Troll

    When we start using our desktop screens like we do with our tablets and phones, with our fingers.

  6. Re:Look at the bright side on Earth's Corner of the Galaxy Just Got a Little Lonelier · · Score: 1

    Bruce Willis and most of his team are still alive, no problem!

  7. Re:Paid for on Windows 8 RTM Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    Maybe the mouse is going the way of the dodo and you guys are failing to realize this. Windows 8 was made with touch screens in mind...

  8. Re:Paid for on Windows 8 RTM Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    >>>You shouldn't need to ever use the keyboard just to open programs.

    I always wondered who put this into law? Keyboard shortcuts are way faster than using the mouse. Mouse users tend to be lazy...

  9. Now Generation on Former Facebook Employee Questions the Social Media Life · · Score: 1

    Where are all the posts? I expect them noooooooooow!

  10. Re:Another American has accused her of cheating on The Tricky Science of Olympic Gender Testing · · Score: 1

    Her overall time was around iirc 23 seconds slower than what Lochte swam (or whatever his name is).

  11. Re:No offense, but that doesn't sound like a lot on How Intuit Manages 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 2

    If your one file has 120k lines to it it screams bad design and discipline. Either you don't know how to design objects, use design patterns and/or refactor code.

  12. Re:If it takes 20 million lines of code on How Intuit Manages 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    Depends on how many versions of the damn thing you are willing to upkeep in the same or different code base. Good luck integrating a moderately complicated bug fix in multiple branches of different code bases.

  13. Re:Was Intuit important in the past or something? on How Intuit Manages 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    Because unlike yourself, I have worked with many, many thousands lines of (current, not ancient) code. Doing so requires discipline and good skills by all team members to be able to be productive and keep the project streamlined and on time. It is a good read for all professionals involved in the software industry. If you don't care about either the company or code, why the funk are you reading this and posting here???

  14. Re:What Space Race? on Is China's Space Race An Opportunity For the US? · · Score: 1

    Except your analogy imho is wrong here. We are not looking for a shortcut to some route that takes months to travel...

  15. What Space Race? on Is China's Space Race An Opportunity For the US? · · Score: 2

    A Space Race is usually a race to be the first at something, like going to the moon was. Unless they plan on racing to put a human on Mars, there is no Space Race worth devoting billions to.

  16. Re:nice timing on Canadian Banks Rushing To Offer Virtual Wallets · · Score: 2

    I'm curious to hear why, what are your examples?

  17. Not for gamers on Can Newegg Survive the Post-PC Future? · · Score: 1

    Most folks that build their own machines or upgrade them are gamers and enthusiasts that need PCs. You can't replace a PC with a tablet for gaming or development for example. There are those that just want to play with the insides and change them around. I don't consider myself a true modder yet I have toyed around with upgrading my video card a couple of times, adding hard disks and adding an extra fan that I'm not too sure helps or not.

  18. Re:Tablets and smartphones for developers on Gut-Check Time For Windows 8, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I also wonder how hard it is to develop for Windows 8

    Uhhh...you haven't even done one google search have you? For Windows 7, you use the free version of Visual Studio for WP7...with integrated WP7 emulator and use C#. I paid a one time fee of $100 and have developed and published 5 apps so far. Developing for WP7 is very easy and enjoyable I would say (integrating ads using the Microsoft's ad SDK is soooooooo easy).

  19. Re:Maybe it's just me... on Book Review: JIRA 4 Essentials · · Score: 1

    Greenhopper, custom reports, etc. Not all is straighforward.

    That is called sick days...and guess who pays? ;)

  21. Re:I am an HFT programmer on How and Why Wall Street Programmers Earn Top Salaries · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I went and read some stuff about writing in one of these languages (functional languages like Smalltalk and Haskell). This means that you can prove the correctness of the code, presumably automatically, so presumably very quickly...no need for peer reviews and test deployments. Interesting.

  22. Re:I am an HFT programmer on How and Why Wall Street Programmers Earn Top Salaries · · Score: 1

    I can debug in minutes and push out a new version in the seconds before market open

    No peer reviews and/or staging deployments before going to prod? This sounds fishy...

    Boy was I such a fanboy of such a mediocre game...it was my first MMO (ahhhh, first love, no wonder)...so this study must be true.
