  1. Bad Idea on TrollTech Releases Embedded Qt PDA environment · · Score: 1

    The palm OS has prospered simply because of it's efficiency, and small application size, now they want to release an application that will affect this in a most surely negative way, and their hopes of success are based upon what? -- The popularity of Linux. I do not deny the fact that Linux is superior in every way over Windows, but I have my *serious* doubts of it's superiority over Palm OS. I'm putting my bets on a complete flop.

  2. Re:Extended explosion=Extended range? on Ejection From Fastest Known Revolving Neutron Star · · Score: 1

    :) Thank you.

  3. Extended explosion=Extended range? on Ejection From Fastest Known Revolving Neutron Star · · Score: 3

    Here's an on-topic question, I'm not much of a phsyicist so I will need some clarification on this subject, if the explosion is 1000x longer, is it 1000x more powerful, I mean is the range at which it affects other heavenly bodies extended, or it is the same range, just a much longer exposure?

    as for your latter point, we have yet to see, however like the title of my comment, lesser of two evils :), however I wish to complement you on your second answer, as you do make several points, but I guess this is the great thing about our country, CHOICES :)

    Actually, I myself have done coke, and I have drank, and however as I cannot say that I have any mafia connections I have had dealings with the underbelly of society at times, yet I have changed, and I feel confident that it is entirely possible that GW has changed as well, you are bringing up things which happened very far in the past, I am speaking of things which are being purveyed upon us in the present time, I cannot deny that Bush has had his problems, but I truly doubt that you yourself Hellasboy are the angel you seem to want us to think that you are, if we went digging through your past what would we find, drugs, alcohol, rape, who knows, but one thing is for sure, we have all made mistakes, we have all done things of which we are not proud of, however basing you decision on events that happened twenty some odd years ago is an asinine thing to do, especially in light of the fact that Gore has lied (my #1 pet peeve about politicians) right to our face, and not twenty years ago, he has lied to our faces in the present, and I consider that a far greater evil than the sins of GW twenty years ago.

    actually he's not so much of an idiot as an asshole, but still, we're better off. Can't you just see gore standing on national television telling us he just reduced national debt to 0 and world peace is at hand? Sure, thats a great one too, however the actual idea behind the first statement was the fact that either choice sucks.

    Well, I voted bush, but really I don't believe that anything will really change, or that bush is going to be a great/good president, I simply voted bush to keep a pathological liar out of the office, I believe that the embarrassment to the country would be simply abhorrent.

    exactly, the only question is which do I enjoy more?

  9. Right, sure, uh-huh on Greenspun on Managing Software Engineers · · Score: 1

    In my experience (ISP Admin) all that unreasonably long hours garnered was unreasonably SMALL salaries. I would work for up to 80 hours a week, and guess what, instead of overtime, or even just paying me for the hours at a regular rate, they gave us 'comp time' (illegal in NM as I found out later) so this does'nt very well hold true in every case.

    Has anyone tried using one of the tiny distros?
