  1. Glasses are terrible on Is Google Glass Too Nerdy For the Mainstream? · · Score: 0

    There are reasons people wear contacts and have Lasik. I doubt most people want something that fragile on their heads full time. Its a good first start though

  2. Of the last 11,000? on Global Temperatures Are Close To 11,000-Year Peak · · Score: 0

    Wow, that's like almost as long as the entire Earth's history right? OMG!!! WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!

  3. Don't forget Microsoft released WiX on Open Source Software Seeping Into the .NET Developer World · · Score: 0

    http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/60102 WiX is another great example of an Open Source project Microsoft created and released (And still supports and uses ALOT)

  4. A Kiosk won't upgrade me on Do Kiosks and IVRs Threaten Human Interaction? · · Score: 0

    I will continue to prefer a human with whom I can attempt an upgrade for a gratuity. A machine gives you no leeway.

  5. They have Bosses on Can Valve's 'Bossless' Company Model Work Elsewhere? · · Score: 0

    If they don't have bosses who did all that firing a few weeks ago? They may have less managing than any place else, but they still have bosses. This isn't Lord of the Flies

  6. Re:Wow on Ballmer, Bezos Fund Effort To Undermine Bill Gates · · Score: 0

    I don't assume people at the bottom half of the income level are lazy. I am below all of these marks as well. The people I am calling lazy are the ones who expect people who have had the good fortune to have made enough to be considered rich to support them by paying a higher share of taxes. It is not a fair system, they already pay more, why screw them over for being fortunate. Look at Bill Gates, he made it and where is all his money going to be going? To the worlds poor, in a more efficient manner than any government could have provided. Had the Government decided then he was making too much money, he might hot have as much to do what he is doing now.

  7. Wow on Ballmer, Bezos Fund Effort To Undermine Bill Gates · · Score: 0

    I love how all of you just assume their money should support your lazy asses. Taxes should be a set percentage on all income levels. That way we all pay evenly. Notice, this means the Rich will still pay more, they always have and always will. But, at least this way we wouldn't be farking them over for being successful. Get some pride people and pay your own way and quit counting on the Rich and the Government to support your asses.

  8. How about because of Pride and Consideration on How Can I Make Testing Software More Stimulating? · · Score: 0

    Pride makes me QA the hell out of my code before I turn it over to QA. I hate when people find bugs in my code. It still happens plenty, but hopefully I make it easier on QA. And, that is where consideration comes in, I don't want to make my co-workers job a living hell having to find stupid bugs. I really have an issue with people who don't take the time to make sure their stuff is pretty solid before throwing it over the fence.

  9. Re:C'mon! Let me shoot! on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 1

    no wonder you are named erroneus. There is one case when a human will want to kill, to protect those they care about. The convoy was coming and needed to have all threats removed now. Therefore, the urgency. Do you really think the military is a bunch of murderous thugs? Think seriously about your answer. Then Judge.

  10. Re:I do not have an issue with this on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You are wrong, the two cameras were not the weapons. Actually watch the video. The guy behind them is very clearly carrying a rifle, I could not identify it as an AK, but even if it was something else who cares. And if you travel with people who are armed in a combat zone, expect to be shot at. Again, our military is not a mass group of murdering thugs, They are good caring people for the most part so I will always give them the benefit of the doubt. If you don't FUCK YOU, continue to sit near your desk hidden from the realities of this world. Protected by the very people you castigate.

  11. I do not have an issue with this on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 0, Troll

    I really feel bad for the journalists. But, you knew the risk when you started walking in a war zone with the enemy of a power. A convoy was coming through the area, the chopper's job is to remove all threats. At least one of them was armed. Sorry.

  12. They tweeted form space in May on Space Station Astronauts Gain Internet Access · · Score: 1

    http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/05/13/twitter.space/ wtf?? how many times wil they have the 1st tweet from space?

  13. Re:Why care what MS thinks? on Hot Or Not — 3D TV · · Score: 1

    Wow, even for SlashDot this is very troll, you have got to be kidding me? Here are some examples of where M$ is the one to watch for the trend. Granted some of these examples are more devolper centric but still, and others you say may have had some partial incarnations previously but M$ made them easy, fun, and real. 1) Randomizing OS binaries in memory to prevent buffer overflow 2) Microsoft's Testing and Lab Management Suite 3) Project Natal 4) Intelli-Trace 5) Pex 6) Windows Home Server 7) XBox Live Service (including XNA) 8) Chess These are all good examples of where they are the trend.

  14. Here are some great videos of tweetMyMoney on Banking Via Twitter? · · Score: 1

    Not only does it seem a bad idea, but a pain in the a$$ too... http://www.vcu.com/page/tweetmymoney-videos

  15. Use Morae on Software, Tools, Or Techniques For UI Review? · · Score: 1

    It is the best application out there for Usability studies. Put 10 people through some set of tests on your application and by the time you analyze your recordings and data you will understand where your customers are getting stuck/confused. A great thing to add is to have your developers watch the sessions live as remote observers, just hearing people's thought process if your tester keeps prodding them is invaluable. http://www.techsmith.com/morae.asp

  16. Re:I've switched on day one and only one crash so on Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost · · Score: 1

    Those dialogs are not really for Microsoft it is for their WinQual site, which the Mozilla devs could register FireFix 3 at (For Free) and see all those crash dumps within 24 hours of them happening. WinQual is a great things for devs, everybody should always send that info to Microsoft..It gives even the little devs the abilty to get all thier crash info from their apps without having to architect it in, or provide the storage space for all those apps. I am sure Microsoft probably looks at then as well to see where things might be their fault, but this a great service.

  17. AppleTV BluRay on $100 Roku Netflix Player Targets Apple TV · · Score: 1

    it has a max of 720p (possibly I) Nowhere near as good as Blu-Ray. Let's check our fanboy-ism at the door.

  18. Not Quite on $100 Roku Netflix Player Targets Apple TV · · Score: 1

    They already have a planned firmware upgrade which will take it to 1080i. Better than anything else currently out there.

  19. So... on The Continuing War Against Microsoft's "Facts" Campaign · · Score: 1

  20. Old School is Apple II? on On This Date in 1964, the First BASIC Program · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Damn, I'm older than I thought.

  21. I guess this depends on where you are on IT Labor Shortage Is Just a Myth · · Score: 1

    I know it is real here. We have had to increase our recruiting trips to every major University within 5 hours of us, and forget about finding experienced devs.

  22. Re:Hardware RNG on Loophole in Windows Random Number Generator · · Score: 1

    Actually since a new rng is one of the big features for VC++ due out at the end of the month. WHos to say they didn't realize it in their OS as well?

  24. Fighting the wrong war on The Technology of Drug Prohibition · · Score: 1

    If the goverment were really up to stop this they would outlaw water and air the real gateway drugs. Sure x% of hard drug users smoked dope before moving down the chain, but 100% of them did water and air before they ever tried pot...It's time we strike them at the heart of this.

  25. Pot is Illegal?? on The Technology of Drug Prohibition · · Score: 1

    Holy Shoot I am glad someone told me...lucky I haven't been caught in 25 years then although you would think if it were illegal then I would have been caught while smoking on my front porch, walking down the steret, in the bars..Are they sure?? I mean come on our government can't be stupid enough to repeat prohibition with something safer than Cigarettes and Alcohol..can they?? Stoopid farkers we will always win, you will always lose....give it up!!
