  1. If you're hungry for error messages... on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 1
    This looks like it fits the bill just fine. I submitted an email address and then did a quick search on restaurants available from my Manhattan apartment. The menu I received seems to have been written in part in Redmond:
    Spring2.Core.DAO.FinderException: UserData.$finder.Name found no rows.

    Server stack trace:

    given the fact, that I havent programmed a single threaded program in years.

    So you can write complex, multi-threaded software but you don't know how to use a comma?

    Business. Numbers. Money. People. Computer World.

    How amusing; just saw these words projected in large red and black behind them as they played New York last night. Thanks for a weird bit of synchronicity.

  4. Re:Preference for CRT on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    Go play DooM 3 on a CRT and then on an average LCD and you'll see exactly what I mean.

    Doom 3? Aw, do I have to?

  5. recipe for disappointment on Kazakhstan's Spaceship Junkyard · · Score: 1

    Ah, well.

  6. actual article on Nothing of .Net in Longhorn? · · Score: 1

    The posting link is to an abstract of the story. Here is the actual article.

  7. Re:Google isn't writing in Javascript on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    Google has people coding in something new, which they aren't saying much about. It's then compiled to Javascript and DHTML. They're not just writing Javascript by hand.

    I think this is bullshit. De-obsfucate and unfurl, say, the google maps javascript library and there's no evidence it would have been necessary to use anything other than human programmers to write it. It's just code. Unless you have some source on that assertion.

  8. Re:Shills on Microsoft Taps Bloggers to Promote Longhorn · · Score: 1

    If the software is crap, what possible good will it do MS to pump up demonstrably false notions about the presence or absence of a feature, only to have it turn out not to be true when everybody gets to look at the release?

    Oh, I don't know. Seems to have worked just fine so far.

    Ooops. Guess I'll have to change my sig now.

  12. Re:They want feedback? I'll give em FEEDBACK on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 1

    Well, I've used that for years to flush the cache and reload ie, but I wanted to see if I could reproduce the behavior you described. So I actually pulled out a computer with windows and booted it up to see.

    First, let's be clear here: I'm talking about the Function Key F5, at the top. OK? Hold down the left Control key and while still holding it down, we hit F5. Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing. Now, with ie 5+ (tested 5.01, 5.5, 6, all on a single win2k box), Ctl-F5 indeed flushes the cache and reloads the page, picking up tiny changes in CSS that are often missed w/o a flush (though I can't find a consitent rule for not flushing the cache on a regular reload - sometimes it flushes anyway). The closest I could get to reproducing what you describe is Ctl-F, which of course brings up a Find dialog, but that doesn't go away just by moving the mouse.

    All I can say is, it works for me. Always has.

  13. Re:They want feedback? I'll give em FEEDBACK on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 1

    Seventh, oh and this really pisses me off, PLEASE PLEASE when I hit the reload button - I want it to actually reload the data from the URL over the internet not reload a bunch of cache!!!

    Try Ctl-F5

  14. Re:Okay, so how do I get some eye-candy on Next Generation X11 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, since you're distro-shopping anyway, try here.

    Actually, just insert your package manager controls in place of "emerge," and it should be applicable in ubuntu or whatever.

  16. It's not just MS... on Michael Robertson Says Root is Safe · · Score: 1

    Apple fucked up PNG support too. I've just spent the last three hours dealing with this major annoyance. The humorous upshot: I had already frozen the blended layers to each other so the png-pointing style sheet goes to IE and I had to make a special jpg-based one for safari. Sheesh!

  17. Wicked! on From Bash To Z Shell · · Score: 4, Informative
    . After the binding, typing CTRL-x t puts the string 'March 2004' onto the command line, and moves the cursor under the '2' so you can insert the day of the month.

    What a timesaver! I start so many commands with
    $ March 2004
    In all seriousness, though, I'd like to stick my suggestion in here: Wicked Cool Shell Scripts is a charming little read and the scripts are all on line!

  18. platform extendo-matics on New York Computerizes its Subway System · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about South Ferry, but the 4, 5 & 6 platform in the 14th Street Union Square station sports these yellow-painted gadgets. First time I noticed them, I was standing (partially) on the moving part, and as a train approached, the ground beneath my feet shifted. Eeek!

  19. reread parent, please on New York Computerizes its Subway System · · Score: 1

    If you live one block from the L, we have something in common, but I do think you missed the fact that the parent is talking about the Paris Metro. Which L stop has two sets of doors?

  20. more history on BitKeeper Love Triangle: McVoy, Linus and Tridge · · Score: 4, Informative

    Context is everything. I posted this article (written at the time of Linus' adoption of bitkeeper) from Linux World in the last BK thread. Casts the current events in an interesting (and not McVoy-friendly) light.

  23. From a Jan 2003 LW article on McVoy on No More BitKeeper Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Interesting quote from a 2003 Linux World artcle on McVoy and the adoption of BK by Linus:

    I asked McVoy if the flak he gets from zealots on the LKML is bad enough to make him do what Perens and others have suggested he might do, which is to take it all back and not allow open source developers free use of the product. McVoy thought for a few moments and we talked about other things before responding fully. "To answer your earlier question, will we ever take it away? McVoy said. "I don't think we will ever take it away, but I may very well take me away."


    I'm not a kernel developer, but it seems to me Perens and RMS were right from the start. Good riddance and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

  25. Re:The article says "accepts"... on Microsoft Accepts Most EU Demands, But Not Over Source · · Score: 1

    It was a delicious moment

    Why? Because IBM is better for it or because India is worse for it? Because it doesn't seem to me that either are the case. Or was the delicious flavor not that of schadenfreude?

    Because, to me, warm, empathetic appreciation might be many things, but it's never "delicious."
