  1. Cocoa implementation on Adult Content Revenue To Pay For UK 3G Licenses · · Score: 2

    if ([customer hasCreditCard]) { hottie = [[hottie alloc] initWithCustomer: customer]; [customer connectWith: hottie]; }

  2. Thou shalt use objective-C on The D Language Progresses · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe off topic, but 'yet another language'? Where c++ may do too much: Templates Operator Overloading Go back to a simpler time... then giveth objective C! It has the 'named' parameters (in its own way), arbitrary message handling (methods to everybody else), hell even a traceback! Not even java has operator overloading, there maybe a reason.... (reduce ambiguity?) We need simpler languages, not progressively 'general purpose' languages... a 'CISC' language vs. 'RISC' lange... Objective C is just that... simple.

  3. Re:I know nothing of Anacar... on Ancanar Teaser Trailer Available · · Score: 2

    Hey mac, Red Sonja was a good movie! The beastmaster - never saw any movie, but the series is mostly good.

  4. All your need is a little of this... on How Would You Improve Today's Debugging Tools? · · Score: 2

    Project Builder absolutely sucks for debugging on its own. But, I use it for break point management, but from there I use the GDB console it has. I know dick about getting gdb upto that point, but PB does it nicely. Then I can use p for a normal inspection, and po for an object inspection. I like it. If it weren't for the GDB console, PB would really suck debugging. But with it, it rocks!

  5. Re:Slightly off topic but somewhat still on Cleveland Public Library Readies E-book Downloads · · Score: 2

    There were no foot notes that I saw, but I could be mistaken.

  6. Slightly off topic but somewhat still on Cleveland Public Library Readies E-book Downloads · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I bought my grandmother some books for Christmas. All of them are old enough to be out of copyright. One of them didn't have any copyright notice in it at all. Another had this edition copyrighted, and the third had a plain copyright. The third being all of shakespear's works. How can any company put a copyright on public domain material like this? These works were over a hundred years old (books were new).

  7. Re:Only 1%? on Ring Of Stars Found Around Milky Way · · Score: 2

    maybe for the reason the slashdot blurb said that you are replying to

  8. Re:Windows is cheaper, Mac is cheaper, Linux is .. on Linux Is Cheaper · · Score: 2

    They always are redundant when others are modded higher after.

  9. No spy! You can't have it (swallow) on Using Bacterial DNA For Data Storage · · Score: 2, Insightful

  10. Re:He's missing..... on Number of Jobs by Programming Language · · Score: 2

    ARG!

    Objective-C!

    Objective C rocks and should be promoted more! It beats C++ at gui apps any day.

  11. Windows is cheaper, Mac is cheaper, Linux is ... on Linux Is Cheaper · · Score: 0, Troll

    Give it up please! We have seen more than one of each of those 3. It is getting a little tiring.

    Mac is always cheaper because you don't need to service them as much.
    Linux is always cheaper because its free, and you can manage crap loads of machines.
    Windows is always cheaper because you only have to upgrade every two years and they never need service.

  12. Only Terrorists Use Public Telephones on Requiem for the Disappearing Pay Phone · · Score: 5, Funny


    How can the government ensure your security if you use public pay phones?

    Use your cell phone, or get one! That way your phone records are just a computer away from the people protecting your safety.

    Do not assist the Terrorists!

  13. Re:AWESOME on Forty-two Inch Plasma Monitor · · Score: 2

    nice 'switch' thing, but I hate to tell you this - iBooks aren't 64bit.

  14. wait for the patents... on Ring Tones Will Save the Music Industry · · Score: 1

    Everything else seems to have a patent, why not these :-)

  15. So when you get membership... on FSF Launches Associated Membership Program · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...does everyone that you are linked with automatically become a member too?

  16. Re:ICQ and AIM meld (aka unified messaging format) on Vote for 2002's "Best" Vaporware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ICQ Qualifies:

    It has been in beta since before 98.

  17. Re:This one will never get developed: on Vote for 2002's "Best" Vaporware · · Score: 2

    "Thank you EULA, may I have another."

    Let me guess... animal house :-)

  18. Conspiracy? on FCC Rule Cuts Bandwidth For 72-Mile 802.11b · · Score: 2

    70 some-odd mile internet range? That would cut out a lot of potential profit from a market for some companies...

  20. Re:Loopholes? on FTC Moves Forward With National Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 2

    The others can just get their numbers from the list.

  21. Re:-1 Offtopic on Creative Commons Launches Today · · Score: 1, Troll

    You haven't been reading what people have been saying about this have you? There is nothing stopping them from using binary in XML. If they don't then great, yes it wouild be open, but if they do use binary you can forget it.

  22. Re:Interesting on Creative Commons Launches Today · · Score: 2

    License before or after you have a project?

  23. blocking banners: thief or hero? on FBI To Use Ad Banners to Find Criminals · · Score: 2

    An angle that entered my mind:

    The website owner might say theft, but if you block the ad that you wouldn't actually buy from anyways - aren't you saving money for the advertiser to advertise to somebody that might be interested?

  24. The theory of the endless lightbulb on Has the Quality of Consumer Electronics Declined? · · Score: 2

    The endless lightbulb - the myth of the bulb that would never go out and stay strong forever.

    Can this be done? I do not know, but I do know that nobody would make them because of being predisposed to a declining market.

    The same is about electronics.
