  1. Re:None of them on Picking the Right Eclipse Distribution · · Score: 1

    I used to absolutely NAIL people with the truth. EMACS uses 8 megs just to run. It's a bloated overworked pig of a program. No wonder there has to be an AI therapist included in there. Zing!

    It's been a long time since that actually worked. Now I use Eclipse.

  2. Re:More savings for NASA on Supersonic Skydiving · · Score: 1

    Don't laugh, it's going to be an extreme sport once space tourism becomes common. A space suited tourist would have a computerized heat shield with thrusters that they'll be strapped to and dumped out the airlock. They re-enter and land with a regular parachute after falling through the entire atmosphere from orbit.

    Of course, you can sudo bash which only elevates bash. And all of bash's child processes too...

    Don't help them out! Now that you've so helpfully outlined what and what they are not sensitive to, they'll probably add it to their web page and their lawsuit.

    Let me help you with this. UAC and sudo are the same thing, except sudo remembers that you authenticated just a couple minutes ago and doesn't ask again. UAC doesn't remember and asks every single time.

    So your complaint isn't about UAC. You are complaining that UAC doesn't realize that you authenticated at the console two minutes ago, so there's no point in asking for a full password again.

  6. I bought Vista Basic on Ballmer Says Vista Selling Really Well · · Score: 1

    At Fry's, for $200. Without a PC. I actually like it. It looks good, performs adequately, and it runs my compilers. When I need to do a Windows build, that's what I use. Of course, Debian Linux is on my desktop, and the Vista runs in a virtual machine.

  7. Re:Get back to work! on US Firms Read Employee E-mail On a Massive Scale · · Score: 5, Funny

    You wouldn't catch me surfing and getting my images up on that screen. I'd be out there watching that screen all day long. Seldom is there a really cool idea posted on Slashdot, but that's definitely cool.

  8. Re:Credit? on Getting Credit for Programming Accomplishments? · · Score: 1

    Flamebait? The moderators didn't even read what I wrote, obviously. It says forget about glory, seek interesting work and realize that payment is in money, which enables you to live. You can't eat glory, and it won't make you happy.

    So, fuck you moderators. THIS is flamebait. You deserve it.

  9. Re:Who designed American money anyway? on US Paper Money Discriminates Against the Blind · · Score: 1

    The label is pefectly clear. All the denominations have precise meanings. The real problem is that language courses in foreign countries are not teaching their students what a dime is.

    Fortunately, with money, there is a great inCENTive to learn what a dime is worth...

  10. Re:Who designed American money anyway? on US Paper Money Discriminates Against the Blind · · Score: 1

    The dime is not an abberation, it's a logical denomination of our currency. It's a decimal currency, so logically you have denominations that are powers of 10. Mill, Cent, Dime, and Dollar. Every other denomination is expressed in terms of those, which are each 10 times bigger than the previous.

  11. Credit? on Getting Credit for Programming Accomplishments? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Credit sucks. That's why it's the domain of loan sharks and Visa/Mastercard.

    You are paid with money, you are motivated by challenges and interesting tasks. No amount of credit will make your job and life meaningful if you can't buy food to eat and you're doing boring shit. Focus on those and forget about the rest.

    Physical features can't identify terrorists. In Tel Aviv, for example, you might think you'd look for Arabs. You'd be dead. Who knew that the inventors of Pokemon and Speed Racer would fly on a French airplane to shoot up the place?

    Ignore the lame and contrived kibi and tebi nonsense. Just call it a disk-Meg, or a disk-Gig, or a disk-Tera. You don't even have to type extra characters to say what you mean. Disk-gig is 8 characters, and so is gibibyte.

  20. Re:But give them credit where credit is due... on How Microsoft Dropped the Ball With Developers · · Score: 1

    If you learn to use your tools, that would solve your problem. Eclipse is huge and complicated, but it's also the best. It's not for everybody, so it's probably not for you.

    It's spelled right. Maud-Dib was the character that Bea Arthur played before she landed the role of Dorothy on the Golden Girls.

    How can you never understand this when it's plain in the books that before spice humans relied upon computers? The spice is used for navigation, and the Holtzmann drives are used for FTL.

    Hello 1936? The Olympics have always been political. The torch run-around was invented by Hitler after all. He invented the pagentry and ran the flame through countries he tried to take over later.

    The Olympic torch run started out like a dog marking its territory.
