  1. Re:Wooly What?! on Efforts To Turn Elephants Into Woolly Mammoths Are Already Underway · · Score: 1

    Hybrid walking giants!

    A gas/electric powered wooly mammoth. Soon Tesla will come out with an electric only model. Progress! Science!! :))

  2. Re:Global Warming on Efforts To Turn Elephants Into Woolly Mammoths Are Already Underway · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should ask the elephants if this is a good idea before they strap on a wool coat to their DNS.

    Yeah, but have you ever seen an elephant in a bikini! Shudder ....

  4. Re:I didn't watch the video on Don't Be a Server Hugger! (Video) · · Score: 1

    ...But no one said you couldn't move to a private cloud if there is business value in doing so. Cloud is not a scam, the marketing is. Cloud is not a swiss army knife.

    That's not a "cloud", that's a virtual server farm. Doesn't have the same ring and the C?O hasn't heard the buzz on those. :-/

    (also Romulan Ale and Raktajino)

    Raktajino has to be the worst idea in the Star Trek franchise. Why would Klingons "fru-fru" up their coffee, not very warrior like IMO. At least it tasted like an oil slick. :/

  14. Eclipse as a platform on Eclipse Foundation Celebrates 10 Years · · Score: 1

    So far almost all the comments are about Eclipse as an IDE, which may be its biggest application but not the only one. I have used it as a platform for other applications, IBM's scheduler IIRC. It was familiar and the MDI nature (multiple document interface/overlapping child windows) made presenting a lot of information and options easy and accessible. It may not be the easiest to develop components for or the best organization method, but it beats the pants off a poor implementation. I wish those who can't do environments well would stop trying and implement on top of eclipse, at least they'd be consistent.

    P.S. kudos to eclipse for keeping the hot-keys alive, very usable w/ limited mouse required; a plus in my book.

    I wonder how much cheaper it would be to actually finish some projects as planed

    Oh well, back to making planes that don't fly. Or catch fire.

    Yes, but rockets are supposed to catch fire.

  21. Re:Pros vs Cons on RF Safe-Stop Shuts Down Car Engines With Radio Pulse · · Score: 1

    5: Of course, the bad guys will have this technology sooner or later. Now, watch stretches of I-10 become nice kill zones for thieves who are desiring either pickup trucks for Mexican drug runs, or just to pop caps in people once their car is stopped to get soldier status in their gang.

    Of course a crook using them on civilians is a possibility .... but if I was a crook in a high speed chase I'd stop the cop car before he could stop me. Hmmm, maybe foot chases will go way up? :-p

  22. Please keep opinions out of the summary, Thank you on Final Days For Australia's Analog TV · · Score: 1

    Because someone has an analog tv that is "good enough" doesn't make them a "crusty luddites" (holy crap ... really?). How many times does /. bemoan upgrading or changing just "because", and now someone who has analog is slandered? Besides that, luddite was someone who feared change and/or technology; so please use a different crusty insult. Thank you, come again.

  23. Risk, vision, and education on Should the US Copy Switzerland and Consider a 'Maximum Wage' Ratio? · · Score: 1

    The CEO takes way more than 12 times the risk of the minimum wage employee. I work at a fortune 500 company (one of the Forbes "best" to work for) and I wouldn't want a $96/hour employee at the helm. (that's assuming we employe minimum wage workers at ~$8/hour). Let me ask you this, was Steve Jobs worth more than $96/hour? Look at where Apple was before and after his return and I'd say yes.

    This law won't increase the lowest paid worker, it will (as others noted) increase outsourcing, loophole finding, or (worst case) promotion of incompetent people into positions of influence.

    I need mod points! To answer Lister's question, in 2013 there are some passable curry houses but I greatly doubt the 60's had any. :)
