  1. Weighing on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Engineers should be weighing their ingredients.

    Not measuring by volume.

    Especialy with dry good(flour, etc)

  2. What I did on Most Fun Way to Leave a Bad Job? · · Score: 0

    Where I used to work a certain guy, who can of 'owned' the computer systems, gave everyone a hard time, but especially me.

    The day I left I got his e-mail account, and 'he' sent email out saying what a great guy I was and he was sorry for ever treating me bad. It went on and on.

    He is still mad from what I understand.

    Not being a database person, would those who know more than I agree that ingres is the
    'the most functional and robust database in the marketplace' at open-source?

    >If a Christian says he prays to a different god, then he does.

    No he doesn't.

    The Christian God according to history is the same
    God the Jews and Muslims worship.

    Whether this God is "real" doesn't matter.

    Any Christians who says he does not worship the God of Abraham is not a Christian.

    The same would go for Muslims and Jews.

    > This is like discovering Bush prays to Allah!

    He does.

    The Jews, Christians, and Muslims are pray to the same God, the God of Abraham.

    The Jews come from the line of Issac(Abram's son with Sarah) the Muslims from Ishmael(Abram's son with Hagar).

    The Jews are still waiting for the Messiah, while the Christians believe the Messiah has come(Jesus Christ).

  7. Re:Symbiosis on How Can Companies Profit While Giving Code Away? · · Score: 1

    Coders will code just because they love to, which is the way it should be anyway. Just ask RMS.

  8. IE on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1

    From someone who hated netscape and liked IE.

    Firefox is simple better than IE right now.

  10. Re:Bound to happen on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    If things were fair the wealthy would be would be paying the same amount of taxes that everyone else does.

    I am not wealthy but the income tax is the farthest thing from a fair tax in America.

    And please don't even bring up public schools(i taught in one),
    trust me money is NOT the problem.

    As for companies not being fined please cite examples.

    The military? dems(not all) are known to despise the military.

  11. Re:Bound to happen on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    Fairness?

    I would say Reps are much more geared towards fairness
    than dems.

  17. Re:false advertising, and email wars on Kevin Rose Load Tests Gmail · · Score: 4, Insightful

    >24 megabytes is a substantial difference for most email users.

    It is if you have 10MB or 100MB,
    but not when you have 1000 megabytes.

    100K of memory was alot when all you had was 640K, but 100k is nothing to most users nowadays.

  24. Re:Ultimately it comes down to human responsibilit on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 0

    What the heck are you talking about.

    A robot is a machine, a tool. Just because it can mimic a human doesn't mean it should have the rights of a human.

    Anymore than a parrot because it mimic a human voice should have the same rights as a human.

    Robots are not beings.
