  1. Re:RAM usage on Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws · · Score: 1

    I guess I only keep at most a couple tabs open, and my only extension is AdBlock. FireFox is using about 50MB of ram. What the hack are y'all doing?

  2. gee - sounds exactly like... on Google NativeClient Security Contest · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    .NET!

  3. Re:This seems to completely miss the problem on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 1

    Yes, and if you recall, when you hit the F1 key with that install, you got an error saying the help file could not be displayed, because it uses the Web browser to display help files.

    You really shouldn't call your dad a "test case."

  5. Re:Am I missing something? on Obama Staffers Followed Palin's Email Lead On Inauguration Day · · Score: 1

    It's pretty damn dumb to just assume that X is bad and Y is good and when they do the same thing it will of course be different.

    duh.

  6. McCain 100% on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: -1, Troll

    The primary reason why Osama Bin Ladin did 9/11 was Somalia. "Hit them and they will collapse." After Blackhawk Down, we left. That was a Bill Clinton initiative all the way - had nothing to do with Republicans.

    The world is a big scary place, and it doesn't operate on rational rules. We have to murder people. That's called war. There is no evolving beyond war, the only reason Asia and Europe can pretend to have done so is we're doing it all for them. You put people like that in charge, and you get, well, 9/11. They fight wars badly.

    There is a foolish belief that if you simply develop the right ideas, all the world's problems will be solved. It's not going to happen on this planet. Our enemies will be scared of McCain, and they will not be of Obama.

    Obama is a socialist fellow-traveller.

  7. Re:The BASIC of the 21st century on PHP Gets Namespace Separators, With a Twist · · Score: 3, Funny

    in other words you're incapable of maintaining code and you rewrite the same thing for them in a different language...

  8. Standard Time is Upon us! on Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, we are in Daylight Savings Time right now. We are getting ready to go back to Standard Time.

  12. Re:In end-to-end security... on Skype Messages Monitored In China · · Score: 1

    But the really cool one would be the compiler that secretly compiles the code for the compiler that secretly compiles the trojan insertion in the third compiler.

  13. Re:same ol, same ol on Apple Drops Part of iPhone Developer NDA · · Score: 2, Funny

    The OP has too many TLAS in his SP. GP says WTF?

  14. My math prof used to use Excel on Advanced Excel for Scientific Data Analysis · · Score: 1

    My math professor (at UNCC) used to use Excel all the time for complex stuff. Of course, our study was Numerical Analysis, so he also used to for fun have high school students program advanced stuff on the TI-82. One kid did some whiz-bang thing in like 4K of memory.

    But he used to have really advanced, really cool stuff in Excel. For numerical analysis, you don't necessarily need any particular tool, the study is in how accurate you can make the algorithm on X hardware / platform.

    Hell, I did some complex numerical analysis in Maple, for god's sake.

  15. Re:Foctothorpe FTW on C# In-Depth · · Score: 1

    It's kind of like printers quotes versus straight quotes. When they print it, they use the sharp sign, and formatting things convert straight quotes to printers quotes.

  16. Re:what? on Russian Police Know Who Wrote Gpcode Virus · · Score: 1

    Damn it, I finally had a funny Soviet Russia joke. Didn't see it when I posted :-)

  18. Re:What happens if you don't agree? on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's my understanding that to even have developped an app for ipod, you have to have already signed an NDA. Must be under those terms.

    I personally just like writing C# apps to run on my PocketPC smartphone and use all the goofy Windows APIs. It may not be lickable, but darn it, the thing works and is fun to write for.

  19. Re:Not to worry. on PDF Exploits On the Rise · · Score: 2

    Yeah, but there was already a buffer overflow security fix a little while back. I am using Foxit too because I finally got sick of Adobe when they wanted to install some Flex or god awful runtime and phone home constantly. Adobe has gotten stupid.

    Time for a "Firefoxpdf" kind of thing. Foxit is it for me. Hope it doesn't have any more buffer overflows, but I bet it does.

  25. Using Chrome on Google Chrome, Day 2 · · Score: 1

    I kind of like the usability features of Chrome. No menubar, tabs on top -- all OK. The omnibox = OK to me. It crashed once. It's definitely not stable, but god knows I don't think google has a world-killer here. It's just a freaking browser :-)
