  1. First Post on From Software to Soup: On Trading Coding for Crepes · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    No way...

  2. Two words. on India's ISPs Want Payola from Big Portals · · Score: 1

    Fuck em. Yes, I am displaying a degenerate attitude and lack of intelligence, however, I am being honest.

  3. So how long till they mod it for the force. on Virtual Sword Fighting · · Score: 1

    Dueling with a lightsaber... every geeks dream ;)

  4. Cross platform development. on Recommended Text Editors for Win32? · · Score: 1

    I have found that if you are switching between operating systems (Linux/Windows) probably my favorite editor is JEdit. It is written in Java as an Open Source programmers editor. It is quite fast and has MANY 3rd party plug-ins that allow it to go above and beyond most other editors I have used. (Including my daily Delphi IDE). www.jedit.org

  5. Re:Have you thought about CLX? on wxWindows vs. MFC · · Score: 0

    Yes, I think you are correct on all accounts.

  6. Have you thought about CLX? on wxWindows vs. MFC · · Score: 2, Informative

    CLX is the cross platform version of Borland's VCL which is used in Delphi and C++ Builder. Delphi has a counterpart in Kylix that would allow dual development for both Linux and Windows.. the only downside being you would have to know Delphi (Object Pascal). But it seems as a great multiplatform tool. There are free personal versions of Delphi and Kylix on Borland's website for GPL use, but to distribute a commercial application without the initial popup you would have to purchase one, get someone else to compile them for you, or compile both in Delphi and Kylix. Good luck in whatever you choose.

  7. Sounds more like a laundering scheme to me on Russia Wants to Launch Manned Mission to Mars · · Score: 0

    ...and an opportunity to revitalize their economy. Actually I don't think it would be to bad for the WORLD economy. But there are far to many holes in the seive that it seems much of the money MAY go unaccounted for? I hope not, and I hope this is sincere.

  8. Subliminal /. Advertising? on Geek and Gamer Wear Online? · · Score: 0

    You be the judge. I see Think Geek ads all the time!

  9. You COULD print in landscape on Printing Wide Web Pages? · · Score: 0

    What the heck kind of Ask Slashdot post is this?

  10. Post Production would be at an all time high! on Improv Animation as an Art Form? · · Score: 0

    "It also means good planning ahead of time, since there will be no "post-production" stage where you can clean up the mistakes, and perform the minute adjustments needed to make things just right." Where did this come from? Without actors or a standard "crew" pickups and such would be unnecessary...and any new scenes or modified scenes could be done cheaper and less costly. Scenes still have to be rendered and edited, but if somethign isn't right, they can go back an add a scene or modify and re-render an existing one for a fraction of the cost.

  11. Re:Then again. . . on How Hard is it to Manage Different Unices? · · Score: 0

    Hmm.. and have to pay 10x the normal amount for parts, the inability to fix ANYTHING myself (as the hacker community likes to), and have to be mr plastic to be able to pull an alternator out... whatever. Say what you want about GM, but I am stuck to em like stink on shit ;)

  12. One of the things I always needed in college... on Subversive Gifts for New College Students? · · Score: 0

    The almighty buck. Cashola Benjamins Greenbacks, Dough, and the appripraite currency for that region of the space/time continuim. -- lots of it.

  13. Personally I think Legos are overrated on LEGO Mindstorms: The Master's Technique · · Score: 0

    I enjoyed my Erector Set (1980s version) MUCH more then any legos I or anyone else ever had. I simply believe the Erector is much closer to a "real world" modeling with metal. I wish they didn't ruin the erector like they did. PLEASE SOMEONE BRING BACK ERECTOR! -- and add a mindstorms like component -- or I'll just have to RMO. Most erector stuff is all collector stuff, but you can find som inexpensive erector parts on EBAY for cheap. Just my $0.02

  14. Come on! You guys can do better than that on nVidia/AMD Merger Announced · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Nuff Said.

  15. Who Cares .. I want my Farscape! on Jeremiah, a New Series from B5 Creator, Debuts Sunday · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I wish SCI-FI would at LEAST keep runnig the old seasons. I sure hope they have a massive marathon of the past 3 seasons before the new one starts!

  16. Re:Logitech on Non-Apple Buttonless Mouse · · Score: 0

    AMEN brother! I had the MS Intellimouse optical .. and they are just 2 DAMN BIG! I am in mousing heaven with the Logitech optical...lighter and faster.

  17. UML first on What Makes a Powerful Programming Language? · · Score: 0

    I would choose Java. Specifically for Garbage collection and Multiple platform support. The multiple inheritance issue can be easily wrapped and simplified. I would first do a UML outline diagram of what EXACTLY you want, and find the language from there. I think you will find Java to suit your needs the best though.

  18. First Post! on PSION Resurrected By Linux · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Lt. Taco unless there actually IS a PS2 game called FFX... then I'd be a 5 * General Bean Buritto!

  22. Stupid Question on The Power of Multi-Language Applications · · Score: 1

    This is just a stupid .."I know 15 languages" ego trip question. Get with the program and ask somethign worthwile. (pun is intentional)

  23. Re:Better viewpoint on Opposing Open Source? · · Score: 1

    No-one likes to state the OBVIOUS. While not necessarily just open source, but unique to the GPL, open source hurts software companies by replacing their product with a free version. How can they compete with that? Especially when someone (like Red Hat) can do the support end of the software so that managers can still point their fingers when something goes wrong.
