  1. Re:How do we get Congress to sign up? on Buried In the Healthcare.gov Source: "No Expectation of Privacy" · · Score: 2

    Think he was speaking towards the current shutdown of the government, moreso than the ACA.

  2. Re:OMG OMG OMG!!! on BBC Unveils Newly Discovered Dr.Who Episodes · · Score: 1

    Ark in Space is what got me into Doctor Who in the first place! IMHO one of the best episodes ever. Humanities final fight to survive, hard to beat that.

    Have to admit though, the bubble wrap did look kind of funny. But its ok, got used to wobbly walls when an actor bumped up against one.

  3. Re:Interests removed? on Ask Author David Craddock About the Development of Diablo, Warcraft · · Score: 1

    The only problem with this argument is that if they were truly trying to simplify WoW, they would make it so you don't need so man f'ing buttons to play your character.

    Yeah, yeah, boring, noob mode, etc., but as I get older, and my carpal tunnel gets worse and worse, I wouldn't mind some abilities simplification (moreso than has already been done).

    Also, as a person who plays primarily a healer, PLEASE for f's sake, less cc in PvP (hence less trinket/button tracking; see above).

  4. Re:in app payments on Ask Author David Craddock About the Development of Diablo, Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Do you mean like having to pay for a room in the inn every time you want to log out your character?

    Or pay the taxi per mile rate when you take a flightpath?

    Taxes on purchases from vendors perhaps? Or even better on loot drops!

    Billboards on the streets of Org/Stormwind?

    The possibilities are endless!

  7. Re:+5 Insightful for on Jimmy Carter Calls Snowden Leak Ultimately "Beneficial" · · Score: 1

    I'd like to get back to having 2 sane parties to choose from, but I don't think the Republicans can recover since they're unwilling to show the bigots and crazies the door, and modernize their views so they can appeal to reasonable people.

    They can't show them to the door, they need their votes.

    And they'll need them more and more as time goes on, as more new voters are registering as Democrats.

  8. Re:No point on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    There's no global root class in C++. This makes a huge and subtle difference.

    Elaborate please?

  9. Re: WTF? on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 2

    Well, I'm not saying what I'm saying just because of me. I sit in the middle of the floor with twenty-five other coders, all who use Eclipse, and we talk to each other.

    And none of us see the problems you've talked about.

    Also, as a consultant for twenty years, I've worked at over thirty companies, almost all using Eclipse (different versions as the wayback machine is set higher and higher), and have not had/seen the kind of experiences you document in your post.

    All anecdotal, agree, but maybe, just to turn the tables, its you that is having especially bad luck with Eclipse, vs. all others ALSO having bad luck?

    You might want to consider a fresh install, etc. etc. $0.02 Otherwise, from one coder to another, I feel your pain, as I hate it when the tech gets in my way of doing the job too.

  10. Re:Netbeans! on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    I like all of Netbeans, except for its editor (even using the Eclipse keymappings).

    If I could take Eclipse's editor and put it in Netbeans, I'd be set for life, IDE wise.

  11. Re: WTF? on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 2

    And I just got moderated down by fanboys. Damn humans, they prefer theirs private fantasy worlds than reality.

    I didn't mod you down, but for what its worth, in all the years of using Eclipse, I've only seen/been affected by two bugs, one years ago, one recently. Juno was very buggy, but Kepler is doing great so far.

    I can't agree with your slow/buggy comments. If I did, I wouldn't be using it as my IDE (Intelli J and Netbeans being alternatives).

  12. Re:No point on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    It's for the best really - have you seen the sort of C++ a "Java programmer" will write?

    As a long-time Java programmer who wants to learn/use C++, I'd love to hear your insights, so that I don't appear on your wall of shame. :)

  13. Re:Implementation language of Java platform on Interviews: Ask James Gosling About Java and Ocean Exploring Robots · · Score: 1

    What alternative to C++ would you have suggested?

  14. JavaFX2 on Interviews: Ask James Gosling About Java and Ocean Exploring Robots · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What are you thoughts on JavaFX2, especially towards its competition with HTML5?

  15. Re:Still no deaths on Masao Yoshida, Director of Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Plant, Has Died · · Score: 1

    True I suppose, but if someone falls off the roof while installing a solar panel, that doesn't make the whole city the house was in uninhabitable for decades/centuries. Its not just a straight kW/h test.

  16. Re:Still no deaths on Masao Yoshida, Director of Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Plant, Has Died · · Score: 1

    Its disingenuous to remove Chernobyl from the "Still no deaths due to radiation" statement.

    Deaths due to the explosion and initial radiation release

    Any accident that causes rescue operators to die from radiation sickness is relevant.

  17. Re:When better isn't better on New Atomic Clock Could Redefine the Second · · Score: 1

    A > B; C > B; A > C

    And here I thought it meant that both A and C attacks B, then A gets mad at C for killstealing and attacks C.

    Oh FFS! This is wrong on so many levels. I don't know where to start.

    Which one? Or both?

    Unless he's working with a language like Java, which then makes me think its a threading issue (debugger changing the timing/duration of the running code/threads).

  22. Re:So "guilt by asociation" instead of plain guilt on What Can You Find Out From Metadata? · · Score: 1

    You should try being an American married to an Iranian, who goes home to visit her dad/mom, and speak with her on the phone long distance twice a week. I hang up the phone wondering if I'm going to get 'visited' by someone, every time.

    And for those who say where were you in 2006 when they started doing this with phone calls, I was there, saying 'No!', but unfortunately it wasn't enough.

    Its kind of humiliating actually, thinking that whatever I was saying to my wife, like I miss/love you, etc., was probably being listened to by TWO countries government employees.

    You'd think they would want to minimize the people who would want to fight this. You always round down from the dollar mark, not up.
