  1. Did you see the Republican National Convention? on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    >> influencing the vote with last-minute emotions...

    Ya, bush and his cronies sure weren't doing that, hahahhahahhahaha. Did you guys catch that dumbass who wanted to duel with John Kerry and was yelling at the TV reporter? What an idiot.

  2. Re:Am I the only one... on The Mythical Man-Month Revisited · · Score: 1

    "cowboy coders" that "refuse to check their work into source control". you mean unemployed hacks who live w/ their mom? ahhahahah, seriously, if someone won't check their code into source control because they're too busy tending their cows you've got a problem.

  3. what law of percieved value? on What Might Have Been: Microsoft Almost Bought SAP · · Score: 1

    I did a google search for 'Law of Perceived Value' and it returned 0 results. Is there really such a thing?

  4. IANAQP on The Home Parallel Universe Test · · Score: 1

    I am not a quantum physicist - but I want to be! LOL...

  5. xxx generations? on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 1

    Is that like a new pr0n movie?

  6. Re:I say great! on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 1

    ya seriously - with processor speeds what they are these days, there is 0 reasons to use assembly for anything besides device drivers. hardware is cheaper than the extra man years of developer time.

  7. Agreed as well... on US Losing its Scientific Dominance · · Score: 1

    I mean seriously dude...

  8. nah on Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think that's necessary. Unless you need assembly, why spend the time? I think your time would be better spent working on object oriented concepts and the guts of programming in general, ie: variables, conditionals, types, etc. etc.

    just my 2 cents

  9. OT but amusing on OQO Ultra-Portable Impresses At CES · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry to be OT, but this is too amusing to not comment on. Here at /. people very anti M$, but then on the home page there's an ad for visual studio. Is that ironic or what!?!?

  10. Re:Why so married to 'tech'? on Tech Scholarships for College/University? · · Score: 1

    agreed - when I went to college I really felt it was interfering with my tech education! ie: learned too slow, learned outdated stuff, didn't "learn to learn" as I did on the job.

  11. I don't have a kite you insensitive clod! on The Expensive Hobby Of Kite Aerial Photography · · Score: 2, Funny

    obligatory clod comment

  12. no presents you insensitive clod! on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    :-)

  13. ayb on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 1

    what list of technical jokes would be complete without the legendary:

    you have no chance to survive make your time. someone set up us the bomb. all your base are belong to us.

    Look out for cats!! :-)

  14. computer store salesman on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 1

    once said to my friend:

    "this 8mb of ram is all you'll ever need for your computer to run fast".

    heh

  15. Re:Why not write your own Framework? on Java Frameworks and Components · · Score: 1

    right - get the job done and get it done right. However, a framework is really useful on very large projects, when you can override classes and make good use of code reuse. This is helpful when you have your more skilled developers doing a lot of the interaction between the framework and the customizations to it to fit your specific needs. Then the more junior programmers can simply tie everything together at that point.

  16. Very Insensitive Article on Extreme Bugs Found In Slag Dump · · Score: 1

    I live in a slag dump you insensitive clod!

  17. Keep Hubble! on NASA Debates How And When To Kill Hubble Telescope · · Score: 1

    600 mil is nothing compared to our military budget. Let's get our priorities straight here!!

  18. Re:RealOne on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ya - no kidding. I hate realplayer. Every time I set my mpgs to load in windows media player, 10 seconds later some kind of dll that always runs sets my file associations back to realplayer. lame!

  19. no fly list on White House Website Limits Iraq-Related Crawling · · Score: 1
    I love big brother. Apparently my name is on the no fly list.

    story at washingtontimes.com

    woo hoo! Anyone else have this problem? I think it's funny because I have such a common name.

  20. AMEN BROTHER! on PHP Scales As Well As Java · · Score: 1

    Couldn't have said it better msyelf. Very well stated, :-)

  21. blech - don't make perl syntax look like vb on Exegesis 6 (Perl 6 Subroutines) Released · · Score: 1

    regarding this syntax:

    --

    (Num $temp is rw)

    --

    ick - this type of syntax is why I don't like VB. anyone with me here?

  22. a few good starter languages on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1

    VBScript comes built in w/ some windows, and perl is what I started in. Those are both a bit easier than c++ for beginning programmers...

  23. consciousness training - depth psychology on Putting the TV Broadcast Spectrum to Better Use? · · Score: 1

    why don't we use it for something that benefits humans? teach people how to find their spiritual nature as opposed to brainwashing them to buy stuff they don't need. educate the ignorant masses about what's really going on in life. the eff could have a show detailing the patriot act, total information awareness etc. could you imagine what the world would be like if instead of watching some dumb whore blab about the entertainment industry, you could listen to a top scientist enlighten you about quantum physics!

    heh - good luck.

  24. Re:ebay has an anti-scraping TOS clause on Is Data Mining for Product Pricing, Illegal? · · Score: 1

    but that was only because the site ( some auction aggregator ) was _nailing_ them, using something like 1% of their entire server load, and using evasive tactics _after_ getting a cease and desist.

  25. but... on Nokia 3650 Released in US Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    but can it cook you dinner?
