  1. ^^^^ IE6 Translation (was: Re:Value added) on "Smart Tags," Round Two · · Score: 1

    2)With the addition of smart tags, the internet is STILL "a free forum where readers / users / clients could choose the information they did or did not want to receive". We just have the EXTRA freedom to have smart links inserted into web sites. Note that we have ADDED to the freedoms a client has here, not SUBTRACTED from them.

    Thinly veiled astroturf? NO! AC actually uses the 1st person! I'm so glad you have ADDED to my freedoms! But really man, you're a little high strung. Maybe you should innova^H^H^H^H^H^H take a pill!

  2. Re:got to love the lisp on Using Lisp to beat your Competition. · · Score: 1

    I think you meant:
    (yeths (love (we (all theth lispths)))) (some timeths (helpfull (iths (cthndy Brady) (way (kind of)))))

  3. Step 1... on Rebooting The World? · · Score: 1
    Step 1: Invent a very simple language that has some useful features for writing compilers, i.e. parsing, state machines, etc.

    Step 2: Write the compiler for your language in machine code.

    Step 3: Use your simple language & compiler to write compilers for slightly higher level languages.

    Step 4: Repeat Step 3 until you have a C compiler written in C.

    Step 5: Write a compiler for any language you want using C.

    Step 6: Write apps.

  4. Use of GOTO?!? on The Apollo 11 Guidance Computer · · Score: 5
    I figured these NASA guys are crack engineers, so if I look at the code I might learn a thing or two. But then there it is, plain as day, the use of GOTO in line 470! I mean, come on, using GOTO in a guidance system? I couldn't believe my eyes!

    470 on BLASTOFF goto MOON

    Who do these guys think they are? Every 1st year CS student knows that GOTO is considered harmful.

    Let's do ourselves all a favor and never go to the moon again using a GOTO statement!

  5. Embedded Linux Taking Off on Tiny Linux Computer Overview · · Score: 2
    This overview coincides with the release of Embedded Linux Journal

    Having an open-source embedded solution is important to engineers, who often need to optimize thier software solutions to custom hardware devices, especially when one considers that most of the growth in electronics in coming years will be on the embedded markets.

  6. Re:Cue the Peter Gabriel... on Transmeta Will Help AMD Make Code-Morphing Chips · · Score: 3
    Judging from his website though, he is heavily into Macs

    Oddly enough, so are the Blue Men.

  7. Re:We needs benches vs p3 on The Celeron Casts Aside Its Crutches · · Score: 1
    Wouldn't want the market share competition to cut too deep into the profit chips

    This is where AMD really beats Intel. The Duron has a smaller die than an Athlon, because the chip was designed so that part of the cache could be left off. The result is that the AMD can produce more Durons per wafer (read: cheaper to manufacture.) The Celeron has the same die as a P3, with some traces cut to disable part of the cache (read: more expensive to manfacture.) So this is more Intel's problem than AMD's. AMD's real problem is marketing.

  8. Re:Could spell end for electoral college.. on And The Winner Is... Nobody! · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that between the 1840s, and the 3rd party republicans coming along, was that little thing called the Civil War. Maybe you've heard of it?
