  1. Re:Reliability? on SSDs vs. Hard Drives In Value Comparison · · Score: 1

    I would rather create a raid1 + hotspare for a mysql server. write performance is bad in raid5.

  2. Re:Why cut prices? on Sony Finally Turning a Profit On PS3s · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone buy a PS2 if he can have a PS3. I never understood that. I would never play a PS2 game on a PS3. Why? For what? And if you have PS2 games it is highly likely you do have a PS2. So again, why?

    no thanks to HDMI, Display port should it be.

  4. Re:Compare the same exchange with other media on Why Engineers Don't Like Twitter · · Score: 1

    Because suddenly all the nerdy geeky people in the basements realize they have 0 life and no friends. So they do what they can do best. Troll.

  5. Re:Old people? on Why Engineers Don't Like Twitter · · Score: 1

    I am 32 and I like twitter. I am an engineer, but I do not have any engineer friends. At all. All my friends on twitter have some art connection so I always get news about shows, exhibitions, etc. None of them twitters "what they ate" or other useless things. It is more like RSS with a possibility to respond.

    I know that 99.9% of twitter is useless distracting stuff. I just remove all people who just twitter boring stuff and that would just clutter my twitter client with useless messages.

    Twitter is a tool, for some it is useful, for others there is no use at all.

  6. Re:Breakfast? on Why Engineers Don't Like Twitter · · Score: 1

    Well none of my twitter friends posts what they had for breakfast or when they take a dump. So yes, it's the choice of friends.

  7. Re:Am I the only... on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    You can't hear ANYTHING else than that. This is not "typical South African tradition". I can't even hear the commentators. It's like a permanent Bzzzzzzz from start to end. It doesn't change. Ever. Never. This is not supporting, this is disrupting.

    Normally there are drums, and some horns and chorus and stuff. This time there is fucking nothing. A permanent Bzzzzzz cancels out anything else.

    I watched two games, and I not really looking forward to watch another one. This bloody Vuvuzela gets on my nerves. I just hope they turn down the volume from the stadium and crank up the volume from the commentators. Else this whole Worldcup is just a big Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

  10. Re:Real Ratina Display on iPhone 4's "Retina Display" Claims Challenged · · Score: 1

    Well, high resolution displays are the standard here in Japan. Since several years (about 480x850 on 3.3 inch).

    It just looks amazing for japanese. Kanji are way easier too read.

    But again, Apple makes it look like they are the first ones, but they are not.

    nah, there it is just shitty.

  12. Re:Join removal is cool on What Is New In PostgreSQL 9.0 · · Score: 1

    At the beginning postgresql might look more difficult, but once you understand it, it just works better.

    I personally, after several mysql failures and problems, will never trust that again.

    On the long run PostgreSQL is the better choice (imho).

    just the command line is soo much better. every did a ^C in mysql, where i throws you back to the shell? Makes me very FUFUFUFU everytime.

  13. Re:Join removal is cool on What Is New In PostgreSQL 9.0 · · Score: 1

    For me it is the other way around. The people who know or use MySQL are in the minority. Everybody I know uses mainly PostgreSQL (unless one shitty OSS project requires MySQL).

  15. Re:So we prevent crime by hiding it now? on EU To Monitor All Internet Searches · · Score: 1

    I just read today, that the japanese Police lost track for about 220 child molesters. So, probably, as usual, there will be much talk and no action.

  16. Hey EU! on EU To Monitor All Internet Searches · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why don't you monitor all the post and telephones too? I mean, someone could write about CP, or even talk about it ... I mean, c'mon! What is this half ass shit. I want everything monitored. I want cameras in my room and on my shitter too!

    And I hope you screen the magazines I ordered too, please!

    And while we are at it, please make laws so I am not allowed to be in the same bus or train as kids. Ever. Better I have to keep a distance of 500m.

    We can do it. we can fight CP. Yeeeah!

    Why is this marked troll. The bombings were a show to the Ruskis to tell them "Guys, we have nukes, you don't, so don't try anything stupid".

    It was a prep for cold war.

  19. Re:Age of consent in Japan on Japan Moves Toward Blocking Online Child Porn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I doubt. By the time the a-bombs were dropped Japan was already retreating. Tokyo was firebombed (which was worse than the nuke).

    A-Bomb or not, the end would have not changed.

    Who is us? You? In my office most people smoke. Nobody ever complains about this, because, well, they are no pussies here.

  21. Re:Advice, Dawg on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Do not eat alone. You will be the wired guy. Do not be all so quiet. You have to have conversations. I have the most interesting conversations during smoking as you meet a lot of people from other departments from your company.

    But also take my advice with a grain of salt, I do work in Japan, office culture is very different here.

    Well Nvidia was never a problem to install. Just download the file from their homepage and run it. Never had a problem, even with my non-stock kernel on my debian box here.

  25. Re:AFK 4 realz on Best Alternatives To the Big Name Social Media? · · Score: 1

    Actually I used facebook to stay in contact with my friends back in Europe or America. I almost never use facebook to "talk" to people who leave here. I meet them, in person. Because then you can talk and laugh and get drunk. None of which you can do on facebook.

    I might share pictures of such an event on facebook, but that's about it. Web 2.0 will never replace the feeling you have meeting friends in person. Plus there is always a chance you can pick up a girl.
