    Open Source is only 90% cheaper if your time is worth 10%.

    Nope. It's juat another stillborn google project. Throw a lot of shit at a wall and some of it sticks. The rest just smells like shit. Because it is shit.

    second time? It happens a lot more than that.

    Don't worry, Michael Crawford (aka Super Debugger aka Jonathan Swift aka Jesus h-Bar Christ aka hotcoder@gmail.com) will solve the software problem. Solve it? Yes. He's one of the best (if not the greatest) debuggers ever. He can find most bugs by merely reading the source code.

    Software failure is not a technical problem but a human problem. Michael Crawford realized this and has developed the Crawfordian Psychoanalysis Manifesto which will end the software problem once and for all. He will fix not just bugs in code but bugs in the mind

    I am absolutely serious.

    A producer, like I explained above. A producer eating its own dog food, which is normal ;-)

    I produce shit but I certainly don't eat it. (I have a toilet slave for that).

    You can also stick a cactus up your ass. Doesn't mean other people are interested.

  12. Re:What language for business logic? on Objective-C Enters Top Ten In Language Popularity · · Score: 1

    you can use llvm to compile Objective C into CLR (or java, if that's your thing).

  13. Re:Out of the ashes and into C++ on GCC Moving To Use C++ Instead of C · · Score: 3, Informative

    LLVM is a virtual machine, optimizer, and compiler infrastructure, not a compiler itself. Clang is written in c++ and support C, Objective C, and C++ (c++ support isn't complete but it self compiles and can compile boost and their own stl). gcc-llvm is a fork of gcc that uses llvm for the code generation. There's also dragonegg, which is a plugin for newer versions of gcc to use llvm code generation without any gcc modifications (well, I think there's a small patch involved). Side note, it's curious how they finally allowed plugins.

  14. music? on Why Apple Is So Sticky · · Score: 4, Insightful

    pretty much plays unprotected AACs, so there's no lock in there. As far as apps, many are used for a couple weeks and then forgotten or deleted. There may be a psychological lock in when looking at 100 apps, but in reality only a handful are used. At the iPad level, there are bigger and more useful apps which could be more of a lock-in factor, but there isn't much lock-in at the iPod and iPhone level. Hell, there will probably be a dozen comments in this story about slashdotters who switched from an iPhone to android.

  15. it's worse than that on IRS Wants a Cut of Sales On eBay and Craigslist · · Score: 5, Informative

    starting in 2012, businesses (that includes me and many other people who do work on the side) need to file a 1099 if you pay more than $600 in goods or services from someone.

    a signature is only required for real estate and transactions that will take longer than a year to complete. Obviously, it's useful to have a signed contract if there's a problem. but at it's heart, a contract is two people (or companies) making an agreement.

    MPEG-LA doesn't own the patents, they just manage the patent pool and handle the licensing paperwork.

  19. Re:Well, that's all folks. on Intel Considers Hardware Acceleration For Google's WebM Format · · Score: 1

    google is an h.264/MPEG-LA licensee so they won't be affected if it infringes on that patent set.

  22. Re:OSI is getting exactly what they pushed on Why We Still Need OSI · · Score: 1

    Apple could have based OS X on linux (remember mklinux?) -- A linux kernel with a closed-source GUI on top. How is that any different than using a BSD kernel (which they do provide the source for) underneath?
