  1. Re:Yes and no on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 5, Funny

    Naturally this is leaving aside the question of whether speed humps are worthwhile or not.

    Depends on how drunk you are and how ugly she is.

  2. The defect in this story is bleach. on A Pay Cut for Personal Growth? · · Score: 1

    Pedro, just listen to your heart. That's what I'd do.

  3. Interesting trend on Next-Gen Broadband Primer · · Score: 3, Funny

    In four years: half all Verizon DSL users should have fiber

    It seems high speed internet is causing a sharp increase in incontinence.

  4. Re:Already ditched on Will Sun's Java Go Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Man, if you're so sloppy as to do things like that, no programming platform will save you.

    You've never worked in commercial software, have you.

    Four points:

    1. I didn't say that's how I do it, I'm saying that how your typical software developer will handle it. Unfortunately, most people are lazy or incompetent. That's not me being cocky, that's me being in software long enough to know better.

    2. The parent post said that (in fact you said it as well) that it "forces" you to take action. What I am saying, or I should say what I just proved in my last post, is that all you are forced to do is declare a catch block. It does not force you to take any sort of action, that is something a developer must choose to do.

    3. You are actually worse of because what will happen is your program will act as if an exception wasn't thrown. You'll expereince a side effect or a bug that you can't explain because it appears that no exception is being thrown while in fact one is but you're ignoring it. If you use a runtime exception (and not catch it), your program will stop dead in it's tracks (if not caught, see next point) and you will know exactly what happend.

    4. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from catching runtime exceptions. If you want to catch and unchecked exception and handle it, by all means do so.

  5. Re:Already ditched on Will Sun's Java Go Open Source? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    A checked exception basically forces you to do something.

    Yeah, this:
    ...
    catch(SuperTerrificCheckedException e) {
    /*
    * I'm too lazy to figure out what to do here,
    * so I'll just leave it blank for now.
    */

    }
    And you're worse off than with an unchecked exception that isn't caught.
  6. For a second there ... on Open Source Batch Management? · · Score: 3, Funny

  11. Easy on Is eBay the Promised Land? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Once I learned how to burn grilled cheese sandwiches a certian way, it was a snap.

  12. Interesting quote on Breakthrough Efficient, Paintable Solar Cells · · Score: 3, Funny
    "When you have a material advance which literally materially changes the way that energy is absorbed and transmitted to our devices... somebody out there tinkering away in a bedroom or in a government lab is going to come up with a great idea for a new device that will shock us all," he said in a phone interview.

    I hope he means "shock us all" figurativley.
