  1. Re:What made Youtube take off? on Dot-Com Bubble v2.0? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They provided a seemless entertainment through video at a time when TV cost too much, and movies were not all that great for the money. By over supplying a high demand they catapulted themselves into the checks and balances situation where they are now in. They beat both TV and movies and bittorrent to the fruit punch, the sweet spot so to speak. Instant on TV like entertainment that was both creative and more down to earth. Its like jackass streaming in real time almost. Its not pay per view but in the future if internet on demand takes off aka higher quality internet to compete with cable and microsoft, youtube will have to go the way of napster and netflix perhaps.

  2. Re:China's definition of success, likely a lie. on China Claims Successful Fusion Power Test · · Score: 1

    Yeah right and japan has chinese enrolled too (my left shoe). No its because outsourcing to china is embarassing. Now if you had said top 15% and the most expensive I really might have thought that now do they go to grad school and teach or do they get a job making the top 1%? Hardware? No IBM CAT etc are fine. Look when I worked in software it was mathmaticians (US of course Newton duh) -> Russ (bored and cold and starving) -> Chinese (achieved hot sauce ignition) there is a flow chart. Tyan the best they got lenovo cheap lots of medium podunk. Its a density thing i'm afraid and we are distributed and we have the power of the dollar and space. Chinese extremely good at long haul technical save the cash. Family business. R&D are you joking man :) Don't give a china man some software they will smoke it (they are good at math and are excellent technically very very smart) if they think they can get hardware out of it (or vice versa). I've seen them in action scary stuff especially on our turf. They apply speed brakes when it comes to conversing over here though at least with business people its not their place? Uh uh too competitive not nice no how.

    That said if China doesn't win this argument eventually something is wrong. The US is seriously inbred and culturally inept and it shows in some ways but our heirarchy looks to be in danger (mad cow disease farms drying up etc). We are recycling decades for goodness sakes. Korea has a shot I hope, they could smoke the chinese for stretches look at japan.

    There are other pockets of highly intricate engineers in exotic locations. I'm glad I can't see them all at the same time.

  3. Re:This is good. on Warrantless Surveillance To Continue For Now · · Score: 1

    How can an unconstitutional bill even make its way to congress. Surely our defense department and congress can do their jobs without even looking at unconstitutional laws. Isn't that what software is for to help get the crap out of the system. There needs to be a system where all unconstitutional laws are stricken out. I would not complain in the least. As for the president that tries to write unconstitional vetos well thats what a four year term is for and the cleanup custodial work of wiping away the dimwit laws shouldn't waste their time. Is he bored or what? Trying to win the war and catching osama should be his focus and the economy and katrina etc not dumbass laws. What a moron.

    Everyone deserves to feel safe and sound. Ben Franklin was an elitist pig who was hoping for fame and power and trying to rally a nation to do the right thing at a specific time. He wasn't looking down the road was he. Blind as a bat.

    It seems to me its just predatory and threatening to rights in general and it makes me feel as if I have to feel more paranoid generally not a good thing.

  6. Re:About time on WxPython in Action · · Score: 1

    This framework is perfection.

    I wish I could bundle at least one part or component for it. It is absolute perfection though, I'm not sure if the gui needs work or the plugins. I would wish to work on a component of some sorts. I hope google supports it or microsoft. Compared to xtools it is smooth sailing (anybody have a great pyobjc project to encompass them all).

    Man a great mac add on or all of windows would be nifty. Linux should be proud to have something so easy to use yet ultimately incredibly powerful. Long live wxWindows and wxPython. Please please developers of great might and worthiness support this. If not I'll just print the source code and place it in a shrine.

    But after all its perfect,wouldn't change a thing. I hope new frameworks can learn from it perhaps. May there be many.
