  1. Hurricanes? on U.S. Navy Building "Macross"? · · Score: 1

    does this thing withstand hurricanes? hurricanes have more energy than a bunch of nuclear bombs. ok lets say it can withstand a hurricane or two. can it withstand an enemy ship launching torpedoes at it? that means its going to have to be protected by a ton of submarines. what about a missle attack? or air raid? this will be like pearl harbor 2 and titanic 2 combined together! makes a great premise for movie! i bet hollywood likes that idea! its too big.

  2. Re:I wish.... on Why Linux Won't Ever Be Mainstream · · Score: 1

    i agree to this! even though people may be smart enough to open up their cars and get their hands dirty IF they really wanted to, some people just do not have that kind of time on their hands. Why do we programmers not all just program in assembly language and forget about all the high level languages? Because we have to get things DONE! You do not expect a Chief Information Officer to go down and program with assembler to get a problem fixed. People who boast about how they are so smart doing this specialty or that specialty are being very shortsighted, I bet they have not gone through the workplace and seen the enormous pressure of how, why, and how much does it cost? those are the business rules. sure if businesses did not care about the cost and we had all the time in the world to explore working on our cars, explore building things as fast as they could be with assembler, then wow, wouldn't that be great. don't boast about your shortsighted knowledge, because you're just being a selfish individual who needs to express the fact that you know something better than someone else. one of the worst things about /. is that there are abunch of kids on here, to get real scientific news and discusion, science newsgroups are a better place for mature discussions. try some physics newsgroups where there are professors from universities talking about good stuff on them. see how they behave compared to the gluttony of teenage waste that exists elsewhere.

  3. Re:Saw a demo today...LOL on MP3Pro Released · · Score: 1

    i would try it yourself before trusting the media. i ripped a 45meg wav file down to a 2megs mp3pro , compared to a 4-5meg mp3.

  4. Re:Hello ?! on MP3Pro Released · · Score: 1

    yes! thank u , instead of all these comments about platform and crap, this is about the mp3pro format. people need to really go out and beat some extra stress off instead of unleashing their ill will hatred here.

  5. Java not good intro language to languages.. on Java as a CS Introductory Language? · · Score: 1

    I think Java is not a good first time language as an introductory language. Java is a good language to goto _after_ you have learned the top down procedural style of programming, including such things as pointers and passing parameters by reference or by value. After a student learns the top down style of programming, with a language such as C or Pascal, then, moving on to teach Object Oriented Programming concepts with Java would be a good choice.

  6. Subjective view on Kubrick's 2001: A Triple Allegory · · Score: 1

    I think it's important that the reader find his/her own meaning in any work of art. Stop trying to find the, Absoulte/True/God/No one can mess with meaning, ..and interpret it for yourself.
