  1. Re:ironpython? on Six Python Web Frameworks Compared · · Score: 1

    Guess I'm wrong. Oops!

  2. ironpython? on Six Python Web Frameworks Compared · · Score: 1

    EVE is built on IronPython. I'd say that's pretty impressive and worth a comparison when talking about web targeted python

    Must be mating season on Decapod 10

  4. Re:Google Docs is a godsend to Linux on Old Arguments May Cost Linux the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Google Docs is only useful if it is a native application. Otherwise, it is mostly worthless and a pain in the ass(sorry, running an application within a browser is not optimal, particularly when free variants exist already).

  5. Re:Roadless on IBM Plays SimCity With Portland, Oregon · · Score: 1

    And then what? How do you get that pallet of Budweiser from the train to the liquor store on the corner 8 blocks away from the tracks? And then the 30 cases of Bacardi to the Bevmo 6 blocks down a different street? And then the 1 case of King Cobra to 7-11 yet another way? And while your out with your load you get an urgent call to RTB to pick up a load for Staples Center for the game tonight. Unless you're putting rail switching stations at each intersection(unreasonable) and allowing access to private rail cars on the rails, you're not going to have any way to have any type of effective logistical chain setup between distributors and retailers, thus reverting the consumer back to the pony express days.

    You could run WC2 with IPX under Windows as well.. shouldn't be affected by the issue

    And he wipes his ass with his own record contract! I love this guy!

  9. Re:NASA hates successful designs on Mars Rover Opportunity Set To Roll Into Its Ultimate Crater · · Score: 1

    Like going to the Moon again to check out different things.. Oh wait, it was the Apollo Program. There is no reason they couldn't save costs and send the same design to different parts of Mars to explore the various locales.

  10. Re:If they can... on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    It's not if, it's only a question of what is expected of a company in this situation within a particular jurisdiction.

    So is Andy Serkis the new Kevin Peter Hall?

  12. Re:What happens? on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 2

    It gets emulated, just like everything else. Emulated PICK, emulated AS400, etc. Code doesn't stop working because support is gone or the OS manufacturer went out of business. I have customers that run Win2k server VMs for particular software. Optimal? No, but platform independence just means more problems on the design side. The average business app designer doesn't have the time or the resources to ensure that his/her program is compatible/compilable in OSs that they don't even use or haven't been invented.

    Specific APIs mean better performance within that environment. There is a reason OpenGL was ditched by everyone in favor of D3d

  13. No? on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Works fine for what it is. It's not meant to build OS's with. It's meant for the applications within, and certain applications at that. Works pretty damn well for that.

  14. Re:you know what speeds up my browsing on Google Patches 30 Chrome Bugs, Adds Instant Pages · · Score: 1

    You can disable instant searching(for now)

  15. Re:Does instant pages pump up the hit count? on Google Patches 30 Chrome Bugs, Adds Instant Pages · · Score: 1

    So because I only enable javascript when I want to they'll never know I was viewing the page?

    Well, we're pretty good at it by now. Economies of scale.

  21. Re:Hello IRS on Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3 (Real Money) Auction House · · Score: 1

    This is why EVE does all trading with ingame money. Buy a character? Ingame money. Buy items? Ingame money. Buy clothes? Ingame money. Now, you can convert real money to ingame money through company sanctioned means(ETC/PLEX). To avoid tax implications, you can't (through sanctioned means, the Russians break these rules pretty much at will) convert ingame moeny to real money.

  22. Re:Work produced at home is mine on What Do I Do About My Ex-Employer Stealing My Free Code? · · Score: 1

    Standard employment contracts(or the employee handbook that you agree to follow) generally stipulate that anything you do on company time and equipment belongs to the company. Doesn't matter if you're a coder, receptionist, or pizza delivery guy. So, if it's not explicitly defined in the contract saying his code is his code, I'd say it's the company's code. There is plenty of precedent for that.

    Nasty Nate needs to secure his portal, apparently.

  24. Re:Speed vs. Usage on The Net (According To Akamai) · · Score: 1

    No, it's more that if it's not broke, don't fix it. The infrastructure is already there, the people are already customers, so why spend billions tearing it all out to replace with fiber?
