  1. Stop the stupid Questions? on How Should You Interview a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    If the Questions in you're example are real (i can hardly believe that), you should stop asking them. I'd never want to work for somebody, who thinks they'll find goog programmers by asking stupid questions. And yes, i am a good programmer.

  2. Re:Quantity over quality on The Golden Age of Cup Manufacturing · · Score: 1

    No
    (Answering your sig)

  3. New Fashion on Charmed Announces Crusoe-based Linux Wearable · · Score: 1

    A wearable with a Red Hat, sounds good to me :)

  4. Re:Debuggers on Java IDEs? · · Score: 1

    I too hate debuggers. It's mostly shooting at sparrows with cannons. But sometimes they are useful. The only debugger i ever really loved was in smalltalk: the default handling of unhandeled erros was to pop up the debugger, so it was right where you needed it, you would step back a few commands, inspect some objects and the bug was no more! I've never seen anything close to that debugger since.

  5. Re:Imperial vs. Metric: SERIOUSLY OFFTOPIC! on Biking @ 80 MPH · · Score: 1

    Change to kph and the old people will die off much faster ( in the sense of the word ;) )

  6. Other Sports on Drug Testing For Olympic Chess Players? · · Score: 1

    Surely its time for Fishing to be entered as an Olympic Discipline then. It does involve Animals, but so does all the Horsback-Stuff.

  7. Re:So what... on Early Man: The Cause of Mass Extinction? · · Score: 1

    Ever since we have developed a consciousness, which enables us to realize the consequences of our actions.

  8. Re:something like a translation on SAP DB Database To Be GPLed? · · Score: 1

    Almost as bad as the Bablefish :-) I had to read the original twice to find out where the fish got the railways from. Its his translation of DB ( also short for 'Deutsche Bahn' the german national railway company...)

  9. Its Illegal in the EU on Amazon Charging Different Prices for Same Items? · · Score: 2

    A few Years Ago Coca-Cola was fined a few million for charging different prices from different customers in the EU. (The prices were based on wether or not the customer/retailer also sold concurrence products). In the EU you can only charge different prices, if the reason is transparent and legal. Normally this would be the usual '3 for 2' type of pricing. If Amazon do this with European customers, they might actually be sued.

  10. Re:Well, it's about time on Solar Powered Colocation · · Score: 1

    Sorry guys, i calculated with the british Gallon, which is 4.5 Liters, The American Gallon is 3.7 Liters. So it should read:
    20 MPG = 12 l / 100km
    28 = 8 l / 100km
    So they are about 5 Years behind, not 10 :-)

  11. Re:Well, it's about time on Solar Powered Colocation · · Score: 1

    I Guess the Unit used in America is Miles per
    Gallon. So '20' would be roughly 14 l / 100 km.
    '28' is about 10 l / 100 km.
    I'd say a rather high fuel consumption for a modern car. About half would be good ( or double for Americans).
