  1. Re:Forgotten Y2K fiasco already ? on Cyber-Attacks? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Isn't this exactly what happened with y2k ? Consultants talked up a problem in the hope of being paid to "fix" it.

    Whats even more funny is that I remember an incident of a sewage spill during a y2k test in Australia. Is this the same incident?

  2. Re:Inconceivable? on Cyber-Attacks? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Prior to September 11th, 2001, it was inconceivable that anyone would be capable of using airplanes as guided missiles and then fly them into buildings. Look where we are now.

    Okay what about kamikaze?

  7. WOW you can remember the future? on Java Thrown Back in Windows, For Now · · Score: 2

    Nowaday we can still hear the echo of screaming of my colleagues when they ran Perl 5 codes on Perl 6. :)

    Since to my knowledge they haven't even released a development version of Perl 6 yet. It's really no wonder that it didn't work.

    Perl 4 on Perl 5 works rather well BTW.

  8. talking to your self again? on Java Thrown Back in Windows, For Now · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    wonder if the recent decision allowing the nine states' suit to continue had anything to do with this? Of course it did.

    You know talking to your self is one of the first signs of schizophrenia.

    This advisory is for the multi-threaded version on apache only. So sites running 1.3.x on *nix are unaffected.

    Had me worried there for a minute as I admin quite a few of those.

    Those graphics are really bad though. I know, programmer art and all, but this project seems pretty popular -- couldn't they get some decent artists to help?

    I agree. If you can do any better I'm sure your more than welcome to give it a try :)

  19. Re:Does art work in Open-Source? on At Long Last: Stable Version of FreeCraft Game Engine · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have never seen an open-source style game that didn't look like a pile of crap.

    Actualy the games that come with KDE don't look too bad. The reasion that MOST OpenSource projects lack good art is that it's usually done by one of the programmers in his spare time.

  20. Re:Environmentalist's dream? on Bio-Weapons That Eat Ammunition and Fuel · · Score: 2

    People are afraid of nuclear power because they think of things like Hiroshima. And because the media tells them that radiation is bad for them. Neither is particularly true. Generally nuclear power plants won't explode. They wear out and systems fail. Things have to be repaired or replaced. And generally levels of radiation in nuclear power plants are far lower than in the general environment.

    No I think that has more to do with Chernobyl than Hiroshima and it's not the media that tells me radiation is bad for us it's just about every study I've ever seen on the subject.

    As for nuclear waste... well, the oft quoted remark is that "there is no such thing as nuclear waste, just stuff we haven't found a use for yet."

    Yah, or a safe place to keep it in as well.

  21. Re:What hobbyists can do on At Long Last: Stable Version of FreeCraft Game Engine · · Score: 2

    I know graphics aren't really the measure of how good a game is, but you can't stand there and say that 'hobbyist' games have just as good graphics as professional games. Well, you can, but I won't believe you. Not without proof anyway.

    The post was sort of a softcore troll. He was being sarcastic get it. :)

    In the grand scheme of thing it's better then goatcx I guess.

  22. Screen shots link. on At Long Last: Stable Version of FreeCraft Game Engine · · Score: 5, Informative

    It looks to me like it's a complete game screen shots. Because it's opensource you can take the engine and build a game with it if you REALLY want to.

  23. Re:Environmentalist's dream? on Bio-Weapons That Eat Ammunition and Fuel · · Score: 2

    The point would be that there is a harvestable energy source in "spent" rods, that can be remanufactured. Thermodynamics of course comes into play, and there are stil residuals, but nevertheless, the waste from one nuclear chamber is potential fuel for another. There are marginal returns in many cases, nevertheless the eventual breakdown leads to non-radioactive materials.

    So don't they do it. Is it REALLY more economical to store the bloody things for 10,000 years?
