  1. Re:Submitter bias: Java's "downward trend" on C Programming Language Back At Number 1 · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's Linux or OSX development, but really, I think it's iPhone or Android. Nothing short of that would entice me away.

  2. But lazy people won't ride bikes on MIT Offers City Car for the Masses · · Score: 1

    Otherwise this would be a non-issue. $10/gallon of gas would help. For more on this and judgment based on discount rates, see the excellent paper at http://www.theoildrum.com/node/2592#more.

    So the price is too low. How we adjust the gas tax to cover carbon output and military spending?

  3. White House has a lower bar than CBS News on CBS Cleans House In Wake of Erroneous Story · · Score: 1
    So CBS fires a bunch of executives after doing a story, that despite document forgery is true.

    The White House sexes up intelligence to create a case for WMDs, Condeleeza Rice talks about mushroom clouds, and GWB mentions Iraq is trying to get weapons grade plutonium in his state of the union, starts a war and costs this country billions, but he and his staff all get to keep their job.

    Public officals who speak about news on TV aren't being held to a very lofty bar. Is there any way to get them under CBS managment?

  4. projections aren't statistics on Ask Nicholas Petreley About Linux Usage Statistics · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but there is a big difference! The projection could be based on a trend that has statistics behind it, but since 2004 hasn't happened yet, IDG basically guesses based on the current trend. Hence, no statistics.
