  1. Re:Ethernet is only 33 years old on Ethernet Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    and yet, those geniuses and 33 years of improvement devised the most horrendous plug with this brittle plastic thing (no nylon, only super breakable transparent plastic) which breaks every. single. fucking. time and thus render your cable to something that unplugs when you look at it funny. Then begins the hunt of a new, perfect and all clicky cable which lasts 3 days and ... aaaargh ! who broke my plug !!!

    (* slow claps* well played, fucking geniuses.) - I know I'm bad faith, but still.

    Floating point operations per second per second ? On an ATM machine ?

    Yeah, how could a major semiconductor firm which is deeply in embedded electronics find chips ? Mystery ...

  5. Re:News for nerds? on Stolen Maple Syrup Found and Returned To Strategic Reserve · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Easy to like anything more than most people when you don't like people.

    Maybe web server software and hardware have improved also ...

  7. Re:Got it wrong for 15 years on Want to Change the Slashdot Logo? For 1 Day in October, You Can · · Score: 1

    Yeah ! As suggested before, colondot could use a goatse logo ... Fits well ! ( what wouldn't ?)

  8. Re:Beware of dynamic languages for large projects. on Ask Slashdot: What Language Should a Former Coder Dig Into? · · Score: 1

    Sure, tell that to twitter or YouTube. or many, many other large web sites. Hint: they're not using java. Or C. or Go.
    Python scaling is a moot point, you'd scale to 16 asynchronous processes on a 16 core. What needs to scale is the web server. And a load balancer. But you were talking about a number of records, where db indexes, caches and architecture + algorithms are what counts.

    Not to say python is perfect, hell if you've got java devs use java. But those arguments are dumb.

  9. Re:Too Late! on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Out; Unity Gets a Second Chance · · Score: 1

    "october gnome". Or, much better KDE4.0 that kde, Gnome 1.0. Aaah, those were the days. Not.

  10. Re:How hard would native AVR be? on GNU/Linux Running On An 8-Bit Processor · · Score: 1

    Wrong, you can write a program to flash from a program. Any bootloader does that. Arduino, by example, is based on this.

  11. Re:Having worked for a few firms... on Richard Clarke: All Major U.S. Firms Hacked By China · · Score: 1

    Management also is a cost, and yet you don't see brain dead decisions to outsource it. I wonder why ...

  12. Re:This interactive language already exists. on A Better Way To Program · · Score: 1

    I happen to code in python sce 10years and have tried almost every IDE under the sun.
    I would LOVE such an immediate feedback on tricky points (with several input vectors for a function and propee initialization and shutdown for code with side effects) , to the point that I thought about having them implemented.
    Saying this is python is bull. I guess it would be simpler to implement than in c but even that I'm not so sure.

  13. Re:Excellent on XBMC Running On Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    It indeed can serve as a gaming machine. I'm sure emulators will get ported for simple / fun games plus it'd be great to see humble games on it aaaaannd quake 3 runs at 30fps at 1080p iirc ....

  14. Re:First point on Are You Better At Math Than a 4th (or 10th) Grader? · · Score: 1

    Clap your hands. Align in movie editor software.

  17. Re:Offer a .torrent on Remirroring Mark Pilgrim's Sites · · Score: 1

    Well, let's say that if you offer a torrent, an open licence is somewhat implied, isn't it ? And given an open license, a well-seeded torrent will allow good availability.

  18. Re:haskell for the masses? sure, but only... on OCaml For the Masses · · Score: 1

    Functional languages ... Err code editors perhaps (emacs) ? Games (jak & daxter) ?

  19. Watches are useless on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    Watches are, for me, completely useless, as I have a damn phone to get the time, weather and ... Pretty much all I need to know on everyday life. Analog or not, it's not useful for me (and I don't need/like jevelry)

    I personally find it truly the most useful posts, not for some braindead random blog "article" but for the competent comments.

  22. Re:Windows NT = VMS (sort of) on Computer Industry Mourns DEC Founder Ken Olsen · · Score: 1

    fun fact (maybe just a coincidence after all, or an urban legend, but fun anyway ) : It was said that Windows NT naming comes from VMS.

    And then, just use any turntable, sample it at standard 33rpm (or the best quality rpm for your turntable) and then digitally play/resample it at any lower rate, 4.7 rpm or 241 rpm if you need.
