  1. Re:Not convinced on Meet Carla Shroder's New Favorite GUI-Textmode Hybrid Shell, Xiki · · Score: 3, Funny

    You probably aren't using enough Object Oriented Programming. I mean, XML. I mean, Agile Methods. I mean, Big Data. I mean, Cloud. I mean. . .

  2. Oberon on Meet Carla Shroder's New Favorite GUI-Textmode Hybrid Shell, Xiki · · Score: 1
  3. try {

  4. DLC? on The Rise and Fall of the Cheat Code · · Score: 2

    Don't leave children
    Dangling like crickets,
    Dark legs chained.

  5. Re:IRAQ NEEDS WATER on Long-Lasting Enzyme Chews Up Cocaine · · Score: -1, Troll

    It'll be instructive to watch all the Lefty do-gooders not rush out to deploy any Dean Kamen innovations to help.

  6. Re:Guantanamo on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 1

    Oh, there is a ton of stuff the Feds do that's not in the Constitution; EPA, FDA, TSA. . .

  7. Google domains? on Google Building a Domain Registration Service · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Google domains?

    Too much friction remains

  8. Re:Guantanamo on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, thanks for the correction, though I did mean anyone not within U.S. jurisdiction, which is still the bulk of the world population.

  9. Re:Guantanamo on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 1

    Good point.

  10. Re:Guantanamo on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 1

    What you are suggesting is that the US could pass a law that says "All non-citizens must be Christian"

    What are you even talking about? U.S. law has no effect on non-US citizens. When people engage in war with the US under the Geneva Conventions a special set of rules applies. When people are engaging in war with the US outside the scope of the Geneva Conventions (as in the Guantanamo detainee case) the rules are what you see: humane treatment, but not full-on Geneva Convention status.

    You mostly seem to be making up the argument as you go, and paying scant attention to US and international law as it stands.

  11. Re:Guantanamo on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 1

    What you seem to be saying is tantamount to making the U.S. Constitution binding around the globe, eliminating all borders, giving us all the same passport (which would seem obviated) and establishing a lone world currency. But I don't think you mean that. Perhaps further thought, then? Or are you one of those new "feeling" people that just emotes away until running out of gas? #AskingForARachelMaddowFan

  12. Re:Guantanamo on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 0

    American citizens. Enemy combatants are not legally equivalent, though we've got an ongoing jackwagon effort to force that.

  13. Re:I'm sorry... on Prisoners Freed After Cops Struggle With New Records Software · · Score: 1

    Through the door, line on the left, one cross each.

  14. Re:Nothing to do with software on The Supreme Court Doesn't Understand Software · · Score: 1

    Yup

  15. Re:Nothing to do with software on The Supreme Court Doesn't Understand Software · · Score: 1

    The very fact that a business process can be patented means the system is broken, and even the SCOTUS should be able to understand that part.

    Precisely

  16. Re:Followed the law. if (false) then false on The Supreme Court Doesn't Understand Software · · Score: 1

    The law was morphed to grow the litigation market.

  18. Re:UNISEX conference on Overeager Compilers Can Open Security Holes In Your Code · · Score: 1

    Where "Overage" compilers go to be seen.

  19. I told them on Researchers Find "Achilles Heel" of Drug Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 2

    I told them to dip the bacteria in Iron Maiden, and not Styx. The heel vulerability was totally preventable.

  20. Accept no shame! on Former FCC Head: "We Should Be Ashamed of Ourselves" For State of Broadband · · Score: 0

    It's like Newton's Third Law with me. Anytime some yahoo tells me I should be ashamed, they've lost me.
    Build an argument with logic, and I'll tell you if I think it's a shame or not.
    But if you're dumb enough of a sheep to accept a pronouncement of shame from someone else, you may deserve your feelings.

  21. Re:Two things on The Game Theory of Life · · Score: 1

    You could take all the books in the LoC, treat them as pixels, and get your Shakespeare on with them, for all you'd need a hot air balloon to appreciate the result.

  22. Re:untrue on The Game Theory of Life · · Score: 1

    Wait until you do some JEs that look fine in draft, then eat themselves when published. Because consistency is so over-rated.

  23. Re:Two things on The Game Theory of Life · · Score: 2

    It seems the process is there, and the algorithm merely describes it. Cats abound; one language calls them 'neko'.

  24. Case Mod on Unisys Phasing Out Decades-Old Mainframe Processor For x86 · · Score: 1, Offtopic
