  5. Widest dissemination? on Why Community Matters · · Score: 1

    It deserves the widest possible dissemination

    Isn't that why Rusty posted it to /.?

  6. Re:Congestion on Curl Instead of Java or JavaScript? · · Score: 1

    People have spent a lot of time learning and developing with java and javascript...will people really have the time to spend on learning a new language?

    Well they all had to stop working in some earlier language to learn Java/JavaScript at some point. If they had the time then, why won't they have the time now?

  7. Re:Since the site seems to be Slashdotted already on Michael Abrash's Black Book For Download · · Score: 3

    Everybody who does any sort of design needs to go to that link, and read the first 4 paragraphs of chapter 1. It's amazing.

  8. How is this a Linux problem? on New Linux Worm · · Score: 1

    Can somebody explain this to me?

  11. D'oh! on FreeBSD 4.1.1 vs. Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    I was gonna post that the only reason I use linux over FreeBSD is because of google.com/linux. But then I decided to not look like an uninformed idiot and tried google.com/bsd and felt like a dolt.

    Install party anyone?

    Subject says it all...

    Might wanna use the fish unless you know german.

  15. Actually... on Princess Mononoke Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    I hate to be the one to say this, but it was released yesterday. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch it yet because it's a Christmas present for my girlfriend.

  16. Wait a minute! on Why Language Advocacy is Bad · · Score: 1

    Isn't he advocating a way to advocate in which he says "I'm right and you're wrong"?!
    That's what I got out of it anyway.

  17. Re:Get a clue timothy... on Perl for System Administration · · Score: 3

    Object orientation
    Why does everybody seem to think that since OOP was created there is no longer a need for procedural programming?!

    Readability
    From the Jargon file "Real Programmers Don't Document: If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read"

    Standardization
    Every try to build a Visual C++ project with gcc?

    Maintainability
    It's easy to obfuscate any language

    Now get back under your bridge, troll.

  18. FQTN? on FCC Considering 10-Digit Dialing [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    The idea strikes me as a Fully Qualified Telephone Number, like in DNS.

    My cell phone will automagically dial the 1 for me, so every entry in my address
    book has xxx-xxx-xxxx format. I always know what area code somebody is in.
    This is a Good Thing. (I live in San Diego, we have 3 area codes in a relatively small area,
    so this *REALLY* helps)

  19. ROB! on Junkyard Wars Marathon · · Score: 5

    What self-respecting Iron Chef fan would say that the marathon is over Thanksgiving, when in fact it's over New Years!

  20. Irony on Rounding Out Your IDE Cables · · Score: 1

    Is the person that posts links about Karma Whoring, themselves a Karma Whore?

    I think they are :-)

  21. Oh greeeat! on Strategic Commander Controller For RTS · · Score: 1

    Just when I thought my 4-button Logitech mouse was
    the one with the most buttons, now I gotta go get another one!


    Yes, I know it's not really a mouse, but damn that's a lot of buttons!

  22. Darn! on Judge Orders MP3.com to Pay $118M Damages · · Score: 1

    Too bad that Microsoft didn't aquire mp3.com sooner. Then that possible $3 billion would be coming out of Bill's pocket.

    I know it's not that much to him, but it'd still hurt at least a little.

  23. Run!! on Computer Makes Robot Offspring · · Score: 3

    Isn't this the way that The Matrix and Terminator started out?!

    Tomorrow on Slashdot "The offspring robot we reported about yesterday has created 50,000 offspring robot since last night, the world is officially coming to an end."

  24. Finally! on Can Ten Billion Gigs Fit In A Test Tube? · · Score: 1

    Maybe now we can really have a Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy!

  25. Lisp anyone? on 3rd Annual ICFP Programming Contest Announced · · Score: 3
    To quote one of the "Real Programmers" list...
    • Real Programmers never use Lisp. Only sissy computer scientists use more parenthesis than actual code
