  1. Re: It has to be said on AMD Says There Will Be No DirectX 12 — Ever · · Score: 1

    You are a very smart man. I also would not use DirectX on iOS or Android. I even uninstalled DOS from my iPhone.

    You forgot washing machines, refrigerators and TVs. Microsoft is doomed!

  5. Telecomuting sucks on Why Working Remotely Needs To Make a Comeback · · Score: 1

    You sit alone, nobody to talk to, no breaks and after workday you are still in the same place, staring at the same screen and feeling totally exhausted. It sucks. This is why I try to avoid working from home. Work and home should be separate.

  6. Re:Seriously.. no. on 18 Carriers Sign Up for Firefox OS Phones · · Score: 1

    .NET is security nightmare. It is too damn secure. You cannot launch apps from network shares and trying to disable that security is PITA. I knew how to disable all the security crap in .NET 2.0 but after that I just gave up. If I have to run MY OWN apps I just copy them to the local disk.

  7. Re:Sense and avoid on Drones Still Face Major Hurdles In US Airspace · · Score: 1

    What exactly is "full-sized" aircraft? Is it general aviation aircraft like Cessna/Piper or something bigger like Boeing 737? I would also like to know how well system would detect another aircraft that is coming head-on. From my own experience it is really hard to see a small 4-seat airplane that is more than 1 mile / 1.6 km away. If another airplane is lower and background is the ground clutter then it is almost impossible to see anything further away than half a mile. If this detection system would work well and would cost less than active traffic systems then it could be used by general aviation airplanes.
