  1. Re:Another Short Answer: on Wonkette and the Ethics of Online Journalism · · Score: 1

    A website, if it is even pretending to be a "news site", absolutely must be accurate. You cannot simply roll dice to determine a story if you want to keep a consistent reader base.

    You must be new here.

  2. Re:Why? on Velocity 1.4 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    PHP is actually even worse, because, although there are template engines for PHP, they lead to spaghetti objects

    Smarty, the most popular PHP template engine, is actually very similar to Velocity. Velocity has a more pleasant syntax, while Smarty has more features (esp. caching). One is certainly a knock-off of the other. I don't know which was first, though.

    True C64ers know what the ";" did at the end of line 10.

    It tells the cursor to stay on the same line, right? Oh well, it's a shame that such a useless piece of information still occupies a few bytes of my personal RAM.

    Funny how this story makes all kinds of weird memories pop up in my head.

  4. Re:My work is the same on Is the Internet Your Source of Knowledge? · · Score: 1
    What is really needed is some sort of distributed and semi(or fully)-automated system where good sources that individuals find can be distributed to everyone who whats them. It would be best implimented as some sort of web of trust where you would select a number of individuals whose opinions you trust and base on their recommendations and those of people they trust etc. new sources would be suggested to you which you can then rate etc.

    Blogs.

  5. Re:According to a newsletter I read... on Ultra High Definition Video · · Score: 1
    the human eye cannot resolve beyond 640x480 pixels and any more than 24 fps. Anything faster or higher resolution is a waste of money.

    Uh... Why should the resolution of the human eye have a non-square aspect ratio?

    And remember that the eye can resolve much more detail at the center of the field of vision. Even if these numbers are right for the entire field of vision, you will need much more overall resoultion because you want the picture to be crisp, no matter if the observer looks at the center or at the fringe of the picture.

    Dear AC,

    please don't use words such as "elaborate" in 1337 5PE4k. This confuses the heck out of me.

  10. Re:macho bullshit attitude on Unix-Haters Handbook Available Online · · Score: 1

    So, e for empty and r for restore are right next to each other. This makes it easy to accidently empty the reash when you want to restore a file. No good design.

    I agree with your general argument, but the example is not good.

    From an article at Speedy3D.com:
    1) First run a search on your C: drive for the file bpboh.dll after the search has completed it should return one result.
    2) Delete the file
    3) Next it's a good idea (but not necessary) to run a search through the registry for all references to Morpheus and bpboh.dll.
