  1. Re:What about the dangers? on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 1

    Probably posted by another diabetic somewhere in this discussion...

    This diet has allowed me to cut in half the medicine I take for controlling type II diabetes. That alone has compelled me to stick with the diet. Consider also that weight control is another important facet to controlling the disease and Atkins looks pretty good from were I sit. I could give a rats-ass about social perception. It has real impacts to quality of life and might even in some instances allow a few to live longer.


    So FOFFYFPOS.
  2. Re:overthrow the style oppressor NOT on Linux Journal Interview With Brian Kernighan · · Score: 1

    I love reading through code like that! I have encouraged many junior coders to adopt K&R... for me, this is clean looking code.

    But consistent application of style should override any urge to inject your own preferred thang. Its a religious for sure but also now is a habit I can't break!

    cheers /.

  3. Re:So what on How Labels And Artists Divvy Up Your Dollar Online · · Score: 1

    Your right but a farmer doesn't have the option of distributing his/her end product electronically (though digital "produce" exchanges are evolving and driving effeciencies into that process)...

    For these types of products (Music/Software/etc.) the busniness model is ineffecient and should fork as we see occuring (iTunes)... let the folks who want to purchase CDs pay for the overhead of packaging/shipping/shelf space/etc... just my two cents.
  4. Re:The Real Issue on The Power Behind the SCO Nuisance · · Score: 1

    Very good. IMHO you've gotten to the real essence of SCOg/Canopy's intent. The SCOg/Canopy claims are the same w/NUMA and its interesting to see how this is evolving... nothing more than the same group of a@@holes (who bought DOS & sued MS) trying to repeat what was successful before.

    Bunch of lawyers & parasites exploiting "bugs" in contracts...
  5. ABERDEEN, $FRIENDs $OF $BILL on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 1

    So some Aberdeen anal ysts have viewed the code and said it looks very similar. More fodder IMHO from Screw Castrate & Offend, FOBs. FMS & FSCO.

  6. Re:Statecharts Driven on Practical Statecharts in C/C++ · · Score: 1

    hmmm... my experience has been it depends on several factors (problem/solution/environment, etc.) that might govern "advantage". e.g. Kabira's Design Center utilizes a really sweet plugin to Rose - almost 100% driven by UML/statecharts. I can't imagine a better tool for deriving solutions for the types of problems its best suited to solve. But as you point these tools are costly $$$!.

  10. Isn't .NET CLR Similar in function to Java JVM?? on Microsoft Applies For .NET Patent · · Score: 1

    I have not read thru every post and apologize to all slashdotters if a thread has already broken out... but (IMHO) .NET appears to have a lot of similarities to the J2EE stack, especially considering functionality of its CLR. I would have thought Sun would be all over MS by now... MS must be really freakin' out over Ximian/Mono project!

  11. Re:So Why .NET? on Understanding .NET: A Tutorial and Analysis · · Score: 1

    IMHO MS needed an answer to the J2EE stack, so now we have .NET... if you didn't need it before you probably don't need it now. Though I am a *big* fan of J2EE... Better question is how does .NET "stack" up against J2EE?? Is there any comparison??

  12. Re:Why do the fathers of UNIX dislike Linux so muc on Dennis Ritchie Interviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe because Plan 9 never took off??? Its not the first time a "better" technology didn't get the exposure/traction it needed to flourish...

  13. Re:Dear Unemployed Right Wing Techies... on Techies Working for Peanuts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, In anticipation of W getting elected our "economy" began heading south well *before* the election. Furthermore, (as a result of W's win) foreign tech workers decided to work for less pay and in fact, become slave laborers!!

    Thanks for clearing that up.

  15. Re:Is it just me, or is Mono as bad a name as HIV? on KDE Adopting Mono · · Score: 1

    Take a moment and read Mono's FAQ - question 7, "What does the name 'Mono' mean"...

    http://www.go-mono.com/faq.html

    According to the FAQ it means "monkey" and I guess Miguel likes monkeys (check out the Mono icon)...

    What platforms you benchmarking against? *What* are you benchmarking? Perhaps your benchmarks are against an Access database running on your little POS script-kiddy Windows box... I can see how that would be faster than an E10000...

  19. Tomcat in production environment... on Who is Using Tomcat or Jetty in Production? · · Score: 1

    We're using Tomcat 4.0.3 in a production environment (though on Solaris 2.8 E10000s/Ultrasparcs) and are very pleased with performance & stability. I should also add we're finalizing testing of an interface we developed to enable JSP/OpenJMS interactions - we're very pleased with the results to this point. Though our circumstances are unique I would otherwise seriously consider/recommend utilizing Tomcat under JBoss or Jonas...

    "Zero" is fun read I agree! You might also enjoy Peter Bernstein's, "Againts The Gods", though it has more to do with statistics and risk - but is none the less a fun read.
