Guys like this ("dammit, I'm a programmer, not a technical writer," "the first thing the compiler throws out are the comments," "it was hard to write so it should be hard to read," "/* You wouldn't believe what this does if I told you. */," "the source is always the best explanation and it's never out of date") seem to keep me rolling in cash. I always end up being hired to fix these peoples' code, and because there's no comments the average programmer can't even figure out how it was supposed to work. So I just reverse-engineer the comments and then rewrite it as I read it from the comments, and the end result is always better than what I start with. Did I mention how much work I get from guys like this? (Yes, always guys, would you think a woman would have that kind of egotistical attitude about coding?)
Also, are those people with broadband still so sure that they can kill the pop-ups before they can load? Lycos has engaged in the draconian practice of launching pop-up windows off-screen; by the time you notice its entry on the taskbar, it has already loaded itself.
Yeah, before that recent development (also on ign.com) I was satisfied with manually killing pop-ups. Now it's obvious that I need a program to remove them for me.

Superconducting DNA

It is quite likely that the "genetic" content of DNA used in this manner is garbage in the genetic context.
Actually, no, as it turns out the experiementers tried garbage DNA first, and many other sequences, without success. It turns out that the only DNA that would superconduct was Hitler's.
> How can I sell open software without making it free
Short answer: by selling it. Oh, you want guaranteed profits. Nope, can't get that.
WTF? Guaranteed? Where do you get that "oh, you want guaranteed profits" bullshit? There's no such thing as guaranteed profits selling anything. Don't be a smartass.
I'm so glad I don't have a lightsaber up my ass about this crapfest. Pretty sad that this guy thinks "the fans" are going to somehow improve this turd by their sheer Jedi powers. Have fun freezing to death in an Obi-Wan outfit while waiting for tickets and trying to recapture the fleeting wonder of bygone youth by watching a goddamn movie. I at least hope you all made your million dollars in the dot com gold rush so you're not complete losers.
A Sega spokesman, Munehiro Umemura, strongly
denied a deal was in the works. He said the idea was
"absolutely outrageous" and used a Japanese word
that can mean unfounded rumor or outright
falsehood.

My condolences -- the most interesting women I know are quite the opposite.
Eiffel?! At least Smalltalk was alive once. Eiffel has such negative juice, there's probably been more written about Eiffel than in Eiffel.

If I know my Japanese, that word is "burushitu."
