  1. The Boy Who Reversed Himself on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    By William Sleator

    Pretty good book for kids that gets into 4th and 5th dimensional geometry.

    For that matter, get them Flatland and Sphereland. You can get them as a single volume.

  2. Re:Please explain exactly what is wrong with C# on Head First C# · · Score: 1

    Unless you're talking about the tiny bit of javascript that it sends to the browser.

  3. Re:Please explain exactly what is wrong with C# on Head First C# · · Score: 1

    ASP.NET is a backend web development language

    Unless you are using your notebook as a server, it will never even see ASP.NET code.

  4. Re:Nothing really on Head First C# · · Score: 1

    If you're going to require a break for each case, why require breaks at all? Why not just automatically escape the switch statement when the next case starts?

  5. Re:Nothing really on Head First C# · · Score: 1

    I use 2.0, so the extension method thing doesn't effect me (or at least doesn't yet).

    I rarely, if ever, use enums, and I've never had a problem with immutable types

    I do understand what you mean with the switch/case thing. Who the hell decided that requiring a break for each case was a good idea? What's wrong with designing some cases to fall through into the next case?

  6. Re:Please explain exactly what is wrong with C# on Head First C# · · Score: 1

    You know what ASP.NET is, right?

  7. Please explain exactly what is wrong with C# on Head First C# · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can someone please explain what is wrong with C#? Something other than the fact it was created by Microsoft or simply that it is 'rubbish'.

    What features of the language do you have a problem with? Ok, so there's no multiple inheritance. What else?

    I've been doing ASP.NET via C# for a living for about 18 months now, and I've found it to be a perfectly servicable language. What's the problem with it?

    I hate Microsoft's business ethics just as much as the next /.er. I'm still going to judge their products based on their own merits.

  8. Uninstall? on AVG Backs Down From Flooding the Internet · · Score: 1

    Why uninstall it? Why not just turn off the link checking feature. That's what I do.

  9. Re:Screencaps on Lost Footage of "Metropolis" Found · · Score: 1

    Very scratchy, but someone on the IMDB forums suggested that it's possible to clean them up. That the scratches are just in the film coating, not in the image itself.

    Thank you very much for this link, btw.

  10. Seriously, though on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1

    How do we go about getting this declared unconstitutional?

  11. Re:Treason on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1

    So you could make up anything you wanted to say against me, without regard to what I was actually saying?

  12. Re:Treason on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There's one small detail that you are overlooking.

    Companies shouldn't be breaking the law just because the government tells them to!

    And if they do, they SHOULD be punished! As should the people in the government that told them to break the law.

  13. Re:What right do they have to grant immunity? on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 2, Informative

    They don't have the right. The constitution actually forbids it.

  14. Re:Treason on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1

    Then the definition of 'treason' needs to change.

  15. Treason on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As far as I'm concerned, every single member of Congress who votes in favor of this bill is guilty of treason.

  16. Re:So ... let met be the first to ask ... on "Intrepid" Supercomputer Fastest In the World · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please, be realistic. These guys are computer engineers, not miracle workers.

    No, the activation does not become usable again. Read the article.

  19. Re:Meh on Google Browser Sync To Be Discontinued · · Score: 1

    I'll keep that in mind in case that ever happens.

    wait...

  20. Meh on Google Browser Sync To Be Discontinued · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I use del.icio.us

    Granted, it only saves bookmarks, but I wouldn't be comfortable with all that other stuff being anywhere else but my machine anyway. My passwords I don't even like being on my machine. I keep them in my head.
