  1. still, it's most illogical... on Texas Supreme Court Cites Mr. Spock · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Mr. Spock would agree with that.

  2. Re:Someone help me out here on NRO Warns They Are On Final IPv4 Address Blocks · · Score: 1

    I hope this won't be the case. Sounds like a real nightmare to me.

    (If anyone is wondering why, Tanenbaum dixit: "NAT violates the most fundamental rule of protocol layering: layer k may not make any assumptions about what layer k + 1 has put into the payload [...]", and that's only the tip of the iceberg)

  3. Not dead... on Desktop Linux Is Dead · · Score: 1

    ... it just smells funny.

    Seriously now, what?

  4. Re:the best. on Bjarne Stroustrup Reflects On 25 Years of C++ · · Score: 1

    No, C++ is not just "C with classes". It's "C with classes, templates and a whole load of other features" (some of them were even included in newer C standards). Don't underestimate its power. I prefer C to C++ myself, but only because I work on projects that are better suited for C rather than C++. The latter just scales better for larger stuff and is a lot better for abstraction, that's all. While I'd always pick C over C++ for low-level programming.

  5. analytic proof on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1

    I find this one to be the most rigorous.

  6. Re:Next step? on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    Well, in this case, you're using more than just a text editor, i.e. a typesetting system (LaTeX).

  7. Re:Next step? on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    Besides, try writing a math article/book using a simple editor. No, that doesn't work quite as well as LaTeX.

  8. Re:In a word: Yes. on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 1

    Totally in agreement with you, but the fact is they can't shut down the sites that aren't under their jurisdiction. Some sites are legal in certain areas of the world and they should just deal with that some way or another (censorship isn't an option imho).

  9. tabs on the same row as address bar on IE 9 Beta Strips Down For Speed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Am I the only guy who doesn't like this idea?

  10. iOS not IOS on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    Not to be confused with IOS

  11. Re:What ? on Pirate Bay Down; Police Raids Across Europe · · Score: 1

    I guess it must be the 1st of April.

  12. Re:I doubt it's the fastest ever... on IBM Unveils Fastest Microprocessor Ever · · Score: 1

    Agreed, high-frequency != fast. The IBM Cell Broadband Engine SPUs are a good example in this sense.

  13. Oh, Japanese beach town. on Resort Attracts Men With Virtual Girlfriends · · Score: 1

    Well, it is Japan we're talking about, right? Therefore, there's nothing weird about it.

  14. Re:so... on Teacher Asks Students To Plan a Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the invasion of Poland took place 70 years ago. Terrorism (or whatever some people perceive as terrorism) happens now.

    I think high school kids should have their thinking matured enough to decide whether they liked the idea or not, and express their feedback on the matter. The fact that the principle withdrew the assignment only because it was a touchy, political subject is amusing and shocking at the same time.

  15. Re:Really? on Rustock Botnet Responsible For 40% of Spam · · Score: 1

    So blocking 0.0.0.0/0 does the job. I knew it!

  16. Re:That's not copy protection on Medieval Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's what the Protestants did.
