  1. Hey, this one is simple - on Who Owns Application Delivery Meta-Data In the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    Whoever understands what the hell "Application Delivery Meta-Data in the Cloud" is, owns it.

  2. Re:Damn! on No More Space Tourists After 2009, Russia Says · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, pretty soon they would be the only entity capable of human flight.

  3. Re:Your Goal: One Second or Less on Ubuntu 9.04 Daily Build Boots In 21.4 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Yes. Pretty much that what it takes.

  4. Re:Six? on Chandrayaan Maps Apollo Missions · · Score: 0, Troll

    Indian programmers were clearly involved in this computation

  5. upbeat amidst idiocy? on How Do You Stay Upbeat Amidst the Idiocy? · · Score: 1
    Honey, I work as a professional programmer. Idiocy is SOP whether coming from top (management) or down (young ones). Learn, tolerate and milk idiocy just like everything else.

    Stupid blog though.

  6. "paleoindian" sounds like.. on More Evidence For a Clovis-Killer Comet · · Score: 1

    ..some kind of temporal outsourcing ;-)

  7. Re:Interesting Question on Falcon 9 Is Now Fully Integrated At Cape Canaveral · · Score: 1

    This is Space-Two-Oh design. Aesthetics, marketing and product placement mean a lot more than engineering.

  8. Re:Two multiple hundreds of thousands of years eve on Is the Yellowstone Supervolcano About To Blow? · · Score: 1

    Sigh. Maybe _because_ we behaived the way we did, we are _not_ like average Somali, etc.?

  9. Re:It looks like on New Photos of SpaceX's Falcon 9 Assembly · · Score: 1

    You just discovered one of the reasons men build rockets in the first place.

  10. MD5? And bigger problem? on CCC Create a Rogue CA Certificate · · Score: 1
    I dont see any MD5 (only) signed CA certs in my Firefox. DO you?

    On the other hand (and I think it is more serious). why there are so many CA certs installed by default? Why do I (apperently) trust anything signed by TURKTRUST ELECTRONIK? ;-)

  11. Re:Say yes to rail on Can the Auto Industry Retool Itself To Build Rails? · · Score: 1

    except it cost me less than $1000 to run three cars (with everything you mentioned)

  12. Re:Detroit Rock City! on Can the Auto Industry Retool Itself To Build Rails? · · Score: 1
    >> you don't hear much about "those shoddy Boeing Jets", despite being engineered and made by Union members.

    Except Boeing is a monopoly. Indirectly sponsored by government via their defense contracts.

  13. how exactly is it new? on DHS To Grab Biometric Data From Green Card Holders · · Score: 1

    I entered US as a refugee in 91 and got green card in 94. I was photographed and fingerprinted on both occassions. What is big deal?

  14. Java on desktop has been irrelevant for a while on Java Performance On Ubuntu Vs. Windows Vista · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now, if they tested webapps performance, say on Tomcat on both OSes, the results would be quite different. I would guess Vista would be faster for a single thread test but would not scale at all.

  15. Re:Its important to remember on FCC Cancels Free Internet Vote · · Score: 1

    how can this post possibly be a troll? Mob-mods.

  16. obl Simpsons quote on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Donuts and possibility of more donuts to come.

  17. Re:Let's cut the conspiracy theory on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 1

    old == wise. There is no free lunch.

  18. Re:Mythical Creature... on Bjarne Stroustrup On Educating Software Developers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am sorry to say that but I have to agree. I wish there was a scaled down C++ without real templates, real generics and multiple inheritance... Oh wait.

  19. Re:I know It sounds silly on Amazon Fights Piracy Tool, Creators Call It a Parody · · Score: 1

    because any tiny change would cost them 100K in dev and deployment time? Especially this time of year.

  20. Don't.. on Doctor Performs Amputation By Text Message · · Score: 3, Interesting

    .. give HMOs any ideas!

  21. Re:Cut taxes, then on Obama Team Considers Cancellation of Ares, Orion · · Score: 1

    er, wrong administration for that, maybe?

  22. Javascript/AJAX change nothing on Web Browser Programming Blurring the Lines of MVC · · Score: 1

    AJAX programming simply reverts to two-decade-old client-server paradigm: high-level client side language operating on "views" sent by server-side "controller". Okay in the early 90s it was VB on the client and Oracle DB on the server, now it is Javascript on the client and Web Service on the server. It is conceptually the same thing. Why we need to complicate the picture with issue of compiling Javascript from even higher level language - I got no clue. I hate to sound old dude but we, programmers, as a whole have very short memory.

  23. Re:The big question is. on Fedora 10 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    did not you read the FA? This ease-of-use-thing must be one of those terrible controversies every Ubuntu release is allegedly suffering from.

  24. Re:Typo on Programming .NET 3.5 · · Score: 1

    from the word "pogrom" ;-)

  25. Slashdot is getting old on Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    Such a troll-bait article and still no obligatory post about me sitting here and moving 17MB files???
