  1. so close on Boat Moves Without an Engine Or Sails · · Score: -1

    now if they could just subtract the water we'd have something useful

  2. Re:I don't get it on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: -1

    if laws that govern industry can allow dumping in lakes and poluting the air, they can allow the gays to get married if it's good for buisness

    not that i'm equating the two, just making an illustration on how cooperate law ignores all else and might even be used for good

  3. jet = tank on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: -1

    i always thought that jet was basically the same character as tank from matrix 1, they could easily drop that actor in and have him do the same character

    but for fucks sake, the music made this anime what it is, kanno yoko and the same players should be allowed to work their magic.

    it won't be good without a masato honda (or equally awesome sax player)

  4. FPS hud on Interesting Uses For a USB LED Screen? · · Score: 0, Interesting

    you could write a mod to have it display ammo and health on it and have nothing but the game world on your monitor

  5. speaking for experience on ACM Urges Obama To Include CS In K-12 Core · · Score: -1

    I've managed to teach 8 year olds how to binary search for an integer given a range, just dress up these things like a game and give them positive reinforcement if they succeed. it's not rocket science.

    seriously, i've seen job's presentations and it's just a few notches above good car salesmen... what is the hype about him coming from? pretty widgets and computer cases?

  11. haskell on What Programming Language For Linux Development? · · Score: -1

    haskell plays very nice with most linuxes, but i would start with C first

  12. From experience on Time to Get Good At Functional Programming? · · Score: -1

    you just have to tackle a few interesting projects in FP to start to really get it. I've been doing FP for 3 years or so. In college we had lisp and ML but I opted to do alot of haskell stuff.

    Haskell, erlang, and ocaml are all very similar and have a growing user base. I'm biased towards haskell but the others also have a strong user base.

    if you really want to know FP, buy a book or read alot of docs and go idle in any of the major FP language channels on irc.freenode.net. Just like learning imperative languages, hands on is best.

    I recommend #haskell

  18. Re:"Propaganda" on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: -1

  25. Re:Save the Franchise? on LucasArts Embargoes "Clone Wars" Reviews · · Score: -1

    eh

    jk3 is fun, but died a quick death online except for a few die-hards (it is great for moddiong compared to q3).
    swg never found it's stride although had they finished it before actually releasing it it would be competing with wow at this point.
    battlegrounds seems like it would be fun, but the maps are so predictable and static it ends up having basically no replay value
