  1. Re:So what's new? on Business Software Needs A Revolution · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm going to take this somewhere the original poster might not have intended, but it's something I believe. The correlation between speed and stability is the ability to use higher level langauges. The more powerful machine, the higher the level of the programming language can be. There's a limit of usefulness, perhaps - but we haven't gotten there yet. The more the language can do to take care of buggy software, the closer we are to bug-free software. Common programmers will NEVER write bug-free code with the languages we have. Where we can get is to the point where bugs are strictly logic errors, and not semantic or syntax errors.

  2. Re:Go for realism? on Flight Simulator 2002 With 13 Monitors And 9 PCs · · Score: 5, Funny

    I fail to see how being strapped down below 13 falling monitors adds to your safety.

  3. hmm,.. on What's Your (non-tech) Hobby? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    rollerblading, playing the sax, playing the guitar, playing the piano, drinking beer, shooting pool, bowling, playing air hockey, reading books, going to movies, .. what ISN'T there to do when I'm not programming or owning some fools in counterstrike?

  6. Re:Due to being sued by the auto makers on Mozilla 1.4RC2 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    I would have assigned Xander as pop-up ad generator. I mean, which is more annoying? At least Mozilla can block the pop-ups..

  7. Re:ahhh crap...... on Microsoft Files 15 Lawsuits Against Spammers · · Score: 1

    I'm confused. Does your version of man fork and exit? I don't get why the segfault is after a prompt. Is this a new feature? Psuedo-prompted segfaults?

  10. Re:eh eh eh eh eh ... on IRC Forum w/ CmdrTaco & Hemos Tonight at 8pm Eastern · · Score: 1

    I think that this would damage the readability of the forums, for people outside of the given conversation. As it stands, the posts maintain the exact order in which the comments were made. If each post had several addendums attached, one would have to look at the timestamps to figure out which one to read next.

  17. Re:Great... on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah. Great idea. I trade some money with some guy on the street. He goes and buys some crack rock. Later, the dealer is busted. The money on him is analyzed. Next thing I know, the cops are knocking on my door.

  18. Re:Off to the chinese buffet I go, then... on Buddhists Really Are Happier · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Developers shouldn't be able to break stuff on Monday, The Death of Websites · · Score: 4, Funny
    If stuff breaks on Mondays, either someone is skipping steps, or there is more going on.

    You mean something like this?

    }

  25. Re:Chessmaster 8000 always beats me as is... on Chess Championship: Humans vs. Computer · · Score: 1

    What's even funnier than that is that at the time of posting this, Chessmaster has +5 and you have +4. Will its terror never cease?
