  1. Re:Because tester != failed developer on A Case For a Software Testing Undergrad Major · · Score: 1

    Quite the opposite, if you want to break a bridge, you can apply load at random points, or you can perform a design analysis and apply load at critical load points and break the structure with less work. A good tester is a good engineer, that's pretty basic in most engineering disciplines. I developed application software for 16 years before becoming a tester. What did I start testing on? System level code that needed to be tested by... an application programmer. Most of you use the software that I built the tests for and never notice. That's a good thing!

  2. Re:Moon movie? on Energy Firm Wants To Be First To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    My buddy from college suggested to avoid environmental complications, only mine the dark side.

    Two by two, hands of blue.

    Kind of like our choices for internet connectivity.

  5. Re:Eulerian Path on The Mathematics of Lawn Mowing · · Score: 1

    This is how a friend of mine had his professor describe a problem to be solved. The algorithm is the basis of pocketing algorithms in NC Machining. The biggest issue is when sections close off into loops, because you will start to trace the same path, which is wasteful.

  6. Re:Spammy Inhabitat link instead of Science Daily. on Airplanes Cause Accidental Cloud Seeding · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the article, I was curious about other fluid effects beyond the propeller argument of the inhabitat article.

  7. Re:Obviously sign of jumping to conclusions on Followup To "When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux" · · Score: 1

    When I was in high school things like cell phones, cameras, pagers, and especially laptops were considered contraband!

    Yeah, well, when I was in high school, things like cell phones, digital cameras, pagers, and laptops were considered science fiction. Now get off my yard!

    My high school counselor offered the following advice, "Relax, you'll never need to know how to program a computer!"

  8. Re:Face it - the States is cooked on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 1

    Sadly, another comment from the "My country, right or wrong" crowd. The duty of a citizen in a democracy isn't to agree, it's to fix, therefore, "My country, right or fix it!" We shouldn't just accept what we are told as the gospel truth! After all, Oceania has always been at war with East Asia and has never been at war with West Asia, or it that the other way around??
