  1. Re:Mono? on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Man, I'm so glad you name it.
    Nobody _ever_ gets that right.

  2. Re:Worship at the church of Shaun the Sheep on New Wallace and Gromit Shorts · · Score: 1

    I got it as a birthday present about five years ago. Maybe the one who gave it to me planned to give it to a lady :D

  3. Re:Worship at the church of Shaun the Sheep on New Wallace and Gromit Shorts · · Score: 2, Informative

    baaaah!
    I wonder if they'll be able to create another character that mass-appealing. Especially for the ladies.
    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only male person with a Wallace and Gromit Shaving Set.

    By the way, they're already working on a video game. Creepy.

  4. Those Escher links drive me krazy! on Escher and Elliptic Curves · · Score: 5, Funny

    I tried to follow the link, but it actually sent my browser to the page I visited before.
    That's impossible. Wait.... if water can flow upwards..... damn Escher!

  5. Not important: Not always on DJs Spinning Those Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Being a part of a reggae sound system (term used as a description for all involved artists) I have to say that no reggae/hip hop/jungle/you name it DJ would ever want to play MP3s. Maybe he would play the one or the other dubplate, that a singer has recorded for him and sent him via email, but you can't beat vinyl.
    There are just so many different techinques involved that can not yet be simulated well enough with digital material in real time.

    Surely, for the standard mainstream Europop club DJ, MP3s will work just fine. That's a whole different story.

  6. Strictly wrong on Gates Tries to Explain .Net · · Score: 1

    Only microsofties seem to use "rich" as a euphemism for "loaded with bells'n'whistles"

    Nope. Only people who have worked with .NET long enough to judge and to know its terms use "rich" as a part of a feature name.

    Your kind of talk disgusts me, would I read and post here if I was a microsoft nazi general?

  7. Re:My Experience with .NET PASSPORT on Gates Tries to Explain .Net · · Score: 1

    You have totally missed the point about what .NET is.
    .NET is NOT .NET Passport.
    .NET Passport is the latest version of Passport, and the lastest versions are nowadays labeled " .NET" or ".NET ".
    .NET itself is a rich execution environment, a framework that I love to use, maybe even a philosophy.
    The problem with .NET at the moment is, that too many people believed crap like ".NET is only web services" or ".NET is jave for dictators".
    As time goes by, people might start understanding what .NET really is. Watch out for rich clients, watch out for coding at ease.

  8. Re:Thanks on Subversion Hits Alpha · · Score: 1

    ClearCase(tm) is a pretty neat tool, no doubt.
    Working on a medium to large project with it is a good choice.
    But if you're out to get a huge project going, it's getting complicated. I'm talking about multi-site development. You just have to take so much attention, it will eat away a pretty large amount of time.
    Not to mention the terror an unexperienced or badly trained engineer can cause.

  9. Thanks on Subversion Hits Alpha · · Score: 1

    Currently working on a project completely relying on ClearCase(tm) configuration management, I am glad if anyone in the world hacks just a single line of code to improve the way we work with source control.

  10. Re:Here's a riddle for you! on Tech-Interview Riddles · · Score: 1

    You probably have an e-donkey-node running. Watch out, your AOL flatrate might get cut off.

  11. Weee - the FCC on MPAA vs. Television · · Score: 5, Funny

    So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me, so let me see........

  12. Re:Ukulele used to play reggae? on Lazy Musicians Spawn Robot Ukulele · · Score: 1

    Nope, reggae music only seldomly includes ukulelis.
    Just imagine a sound clash where the winning soundsystem would be the one featuring the best-programmed mindstorms ukulele....

    The future will send loads of reggae mcs and djs into unemployment.

  13. Re:The Three Elements of Microsoft's Success on Gates Testifies in Antitrust Suit · · Score: 1

    Poke him with the soft cushions! Seat him in the comfy chair!

  14. Re:Question : what's the benefit ? on What is .NET? · · Score: 1

    You're correct. Once again, one could say "this code behind-idea is a java rip-off!".
    Forget that. Cheers for the positive.
    One of *THE* Windows Forms benefits is the slick and really cool-to-use GDI+ - encapsulation. Eyecandy never been so much fun.
