  1. American living abroad here. on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 1

    Portion size. Thats why Americans are fat. Food is cheap and portions are huge. When I first moved to New Zealand I ate out a lot. The portions seemed tiny and I was always hungry. Then I just got used to it and now I can't stop losing weight. In fact what used to seem tiny now fills me up.

  2. But..every place.. on Why Linux Can't 'Sell' On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Every place I've ever worked uses Linux almost exclusively on the desktop. (OSX sprinkled in).

  3. Re:Objective C on 2011's Fastest Growing Language: Objective-C · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is $99 some kind of large amount of money? What is that like a week of brown bagging your lunch?

  4. At least Scala is dead on 2011's Fastest Growing Language: Objective-C · · Score: 1

    Fallen out of the top 50 into obscurity where it belongs.

  5. Re:goddamn baby boomers ruin everything! on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 1

    The hipsters come from gen-x I think.

  6. remember folks on Ask Slashdot: Math Curriculum To Understand General Relativity? · · Score: 0

    Its just a theory.

  7. Ultima Online Already Did It on Facebook Locks Down Social Gift Giving Patent · · Score: 1

    Sorry Facebook.

  8. Re:er... on Free Software Faces a Test With Qt · · Score: 1

    Also The Foundry's Katana (new awesome product). Qt, specifically PyQt/PySide are huge in VFX industry. I don't know of a large VFX house that is not using PyQt at all levels of the pipeline.

  9. Re:It mostly sucks on Why People Should Stop Being Duped By the 3D Scam · · Score: 1

    Are you talking about RealD? What is Real3D? RealD is not taking an image and shifting it. All RealD does is take the right eye/left eye and converts it to a format that works better in movie theaters, especially in the front row. They are not into stereo conversion. The don't touch the convergence. "Disney Digital 3D" is just a marketing term, Disney itself doesn't really have a stereo conversion process They pay other people to do it. Every VFX house does 3D differently, and most Disney movies have at least 2 different houses working on 3D conversion. I've worked on many Disney films, including Alice in Wonderland and GeForce.

  10. Re:who wrote this?? on The Coming War Over the Future of Java · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Python doesn't have real threading, Perl is basically dead, and Ruby is slow as shit.

  11. Re:Alternatives on The Coming War Over the Future of Java · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Scala is the worst POS I've seen in a long time.

  12. yes we know on Former Military Personnel Claim Aliens Are Monitoring Our Nukes · · Score: 1

    There are aliens, its obvious. We're probably some common 6th grade alien science fair project where the kids have to terraform a planet and then create semi-intelligent beings. Extra credit if they don't destroy each other within 100 years after nuclear technology.

  13. Re:Sure, if you can ... on Louisiana, Intelligent Design, and Science Classes · · Score: 1

    Proof doesn't matter when your delusional, I mean "have faith".

  14. Two different branches... on Louisiana, Intelligent Design, and Science Classes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Technically, evolution and creationism are separated by about 14 billion years. If your going to teach creationism, shouldn't that be in astronomy class? What does the fact that organisms have DNA which allows them to pass on traits to their offspring have to do with the creation of the universe?

  15. this just in on Porn Industry Ready To Drop Flash · · Score: 1

    This just in! Playing video on battery powered devices drains the battery faster! Unless you use HTML5! It breaks the laws of physics and actually charges your battery!

  16. too bad its runs different in all browsers on How HTML5 Will Change the Web · · Score: 1, Insightful

    HTML5 is just another level of bullshit to worry about when writing a web page that needs to render properly on multiple browsers.

  17. Re:Some Helpful Advise on Microsoft Talks Back To Google's Security Claims · · Score: 1

    But...Linux far out numbers windows in the server room. Running a server on windows is like taking your head and slamming in a doorway 100 times, its painful.

  18. webkit!! on Mozilla Reveals Firefox 4 Plans · · Score: 1

    End the HMTL5 compatibility nightmare before it starts. All browsers should just move to webkit and then compete with the interface features.

  19. Re:Author should look into Scala on Thoughts On the State of Web Development · · Score: 1

    Too bad scala is awful. Great for academic use, aka annoying students. Why anyone would want to take 10x longer to code in the real world means a. they are dumb, b. they have money to burn and don't care.

  20. Re:Using Java for web development on Thoughts On the State of Web Development · · Score: 1

    He didn't use Java, he used Groovy.

  21. We're all mind readers on Mentioning Android Is a No-No In iPhone App Store · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow the list of magical things you can't do with your iPhone app sure is growing.

  22. iTampon on Fujitsu Readies Lawsuit Over "iPad" Name · · Score: 0

    That name is garbage compared to Microsoft's new iTampon.

  23. Re:Sony is no longer a reputable vendor on Sony Sued Over Bricked PS3s · · Score: 0, Troll

    What happens when eventually, every electronic device you owns fail and they won't repair it for free? Will you stop using electronic devices? I had a Sony TV that lasted for 13 years and it recently broke, I'll never buy that company again!!!

  24. What more can AT&T Do to fuck up the iPhone? on Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    I mean, will they threaten more dropped calls than there already are? They really can't fuck it up any more than it already is. Best phone, worst carrier.

  25. both are idiotic anyway.. on Blu-ray Adoption Soft, More Still Own HD DVD · · Score: 1

    Why do I want a piece of garbage plastic disk when I can store and play HD movies from my computer to the TV? Its stupid.
