Good timing

On: Interesting Privacy Decision in New Hampshire

Hear me, hear me! This is a good time to pull
this case - all one need is to connect spyware
with terrorism, sit back and enjoy the show.

For starters, terrorists can buy a variety of
information from spyware crooks, such as one
needed to create impostor or fake identities
of government or even (horror, horror!) military
personnel.

How about this?

Memory Stuck (tm)

On: Two New Handhelds From Sony

No matter what gadget Sony makes next I'm not buying if it only supports sticks. CompactFlash is by far more flexible and cheaper, why should I pay extra to support further limitations of my choice?

Why, perhaps they have too much FOX29 instead...

Censorship

science editors want to censor their publications

Let'em. As far as they don't censor mine it's all right.

Re:Bladerunner

On: Goodbye, Dolly

You see, your logic doesn't hold water. Here is why, I would not say better:

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.

Birth agreement

Then I assume such agreements do not apply to c-section kids, do they? Oh the ineffable joy of medical techno... oops... does this make c-section DMCA circumvention device? =8-Z

MAS. The other MAS.

Pardon me, but you need to get your TLAs
corrected - MAS stands for Multi-Agent System ;-P

Why, LARTing those cocky Win CE addicts will do nice, thank you!

Mandrake's demise

On: Falcon's Eye: a Make-over for Nethack

Talking about the power of addiction... IMNSHO, Mandrake's recent announcement is not unrelated to their failure to carry Nethack and FalconEye in 9.0 distro. Oh, well, that will tech them allright!

Re:$90 Million Anually

On: Fast CD-R Drives Make For Twice the Piracy

Doesn't add up. RIAA's math skills should be used to power interstellar space ships.

I see, that would be RIAAmathic star drive then?

Re:OMG templates totally rule!

On: Java Gets Templates

• Metaclasses (meaning classes whos instances are in turn classes) are, naturally, templates.
• Higher order functions can be implemented using templates (see boost::function.
• Macroses are external to the language, use cpp at will.

As for the rest, it would be nice, but we can continue surviving without these until 1.6 or so ;-)
