  1. Re:Lame on Iron Baby · · Score: 1

    Except filtering it doesn't remove it from our RSS? So yea, I don't like this shit coming up...

  2. Re:This is the world I live in on Is Wired's App Really the Future of Magazines? · · Score: 1

    I don't want 200,000 choices all indexed, I want one story beginning to end.

    Sorry that you dislike choices, to each their own.

  3. Re:Choices, choices on GCC Moving To Use C++ Instead of C · · Score: 1

    As can C# (which I'm mostly using right now).

    You lost me there. Sorry, not sure anything about that runtime hell is 'lean and mean'.

  4. Re:Why not switch? on Firefox Home Coming To iPhone, Browser Next? · · Score: 1

    Amen. Engineer here, love the iPhone, would love to change things on it, but theres more going for it than against it.

  5. Re:I use the Kubuntu 10.04 version instead on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Benchmarked and Reviewed · · Score: 1

    With Linux you get several choices in desktop environments.

    Hi, welcome to slashdot.

  6. Re:Larrabee was a hedge anyway on Intel Abandons Discrete Graphics · · Score: 1

    The new Atom's already do well against the ARM threat. If only they could price/package them sanely...

  7. Re:missed milestones on Intel Abandons Discrete Graphics · · Score: 1

    Support those who support compeition, not monopolists who destroy it.

    Don't be ignorant. If AMD were in Intel's shoes, they'd act like a monopolist too. The purpose of any company responsible to shareholders is to maximize profits. Give dear Google some time... Don't blindly put faith in the underdog as 'Good Guys', sure they won't be Apple Evil but they'll come around..

  8. Re:Mod parent "Likely." on Intel Abandons Discrete Graphics · · Score: 1

    Except that your 'normal' computer user just wants to play Farmville and the like, for which the Intel GMA is fine, these are all CPU bound games.

  9. Re:Non sequitur on Bill Joy On Sun, Microsoft, Open Source, and Creativity · · Score: 1

    I'm glad you are so easily impressed... Do you think Linux was the first operating system to allow live patching (i.e. ksplice)? Maybe the first mainstream OS... Either way its a rather minor example of innovation, if that was as innovative as software got, we'd be rather in the dark ages.

  10. Re:Sun software on Bill Joy On Sun, Microsoft, Open Source, and Creativity · · Score: 1

    other than Sun hardware being cheap... perhaps it was a bargain compared to other commercial Unix vendors back in the 90s, but by the time it became plausible to choose between Linux-on-x86 and Solaris-on-Sun, Sun was really way more expensive.

    Try the 80s too. You date yourself by glazing over this time period and giving an anecdote from 2001. Sun *was* the defacto desktop and server platform for affordable UNIX for a very very long time, when Linux was just a glimmer in Linus' eye, and while the project was gaining any sort of enterprise stability and seriousness... which was a period of more than 15 years. Not something to be just written off as a blip in history.

  11. Re:Sounds like a feature on iPhone's PIN-Based Security Transparent To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    It's sad on Apples part, but whatever, it'll be fairly easily fixed.

    It does not, but that wont stop the Apple haters on /.

    Lol capitalization correct? DNS is not case sensitive. Please hand in your geek card, and I think you'll find most non-commerce sites to not be listed with the Better Business Bureau, they have become irrelevant in the last decade.

  15. Re:Better Yet on Busting, and Fixing, Frame Busting · · Score: 1

    I had it going for a solid 9 months, before some jerk opened my web site from a frame, executed some bad code and crashed my server.

    Um, a frame crashed your *server*? That would be a real feat, considering the frame is rendered on the client side, and not touched on the server side at all. Awww, you're 22 now, how cute. Now get off my lawn.....
