  1. Re:Thank goodness on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1

    Agreed, and beyond that a little thinning of the herd makes developers less of a commodity. Cash money.

  2. Re:$0.80 a point? on Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner · · Score: 1

    It's 0.8 points per 1. That's where the .80 came from. Just gotta keep the units in line.

  3. Re:back problems on Neanderthal Genome to be Sequenced · · Score: 1

    Using that logic Gravity is just a theory and you can't really proove anything. I mean, can you touch gravity? You can observe it's effects, but not gravity itself.
    Similarly, many of effects and causes for evolution can be readily observed. It's just that recorded history hasn't been around long enough to document the process. The fossil record strongly supports the theory of evolution, and the primary cause, Natural Selection, has been observed in the wild.
    Yeah, the case for gravity is stronger, but I would have to say that the evidence for evolution is overwhelming. In any respect, evolution isn't a law like gravity is. Evolution is an idea of what could have happened in the past, and what might happen in the future.

  4. DIVX on Codex · · Score: 1

    You know, DIVX 6 just came out. That kicks this book's @ss!

  5. Re:oops on Nanotech Trojan Horse That Kills Cancer · · Score: 1

    My nanobots are yellow with blue pinstripes on them. To the naked eye en mass they look like a lime green... until they rise above in a writhing sea of death and destruction and become stained with the blood of the innocent!!

  6. Re:Choices some good , some not so good. on Best Web Authoring Application? · · Score: 1

    Is eclipse a good IDE for web development? I thought it was tailored for Java, and I don't think this guy is doing Enterprise level JB or anything like that. Please enlighten me!

  7. Checks and balances on Most Americans Want Gov't To Make Internet Safer · · Score: 1

    I'd support government regulation/surveillance if there was another independent group set up to audit/check up on them. I think the main privacy issue is that the information the agency gathers would be use maliciously or unlawfully. Having an independent auditor should remedy that.

  8. Re:In other news... on Nanotech Trojan Horse That Kills Cancer · · Score: 1

    Yo, dat's funny!

  9. Re:They don't mention the caption factor on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    I live in Rochester, NY, one of the highest deaf per capita regions in the world, and several of our theatres show open captioned movies. There are generally one or two movies playing that are Open Captioned, and are generally playing at the same time as their non-captioned counterparts. It's all about supply and demand.

  10. Could be worse on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 1

    At least
    // does this belong here?
    is better than
    // what does this do?

  11. Left out on Looking at a Martian Aurora Borealis · · Score: 1

    Am I the only person who's never seen an aurora? Everyone keeps mentioning how they can't imagine what it looks like on other planets... well I can't imagine what it looks like on ours! I need to get out more.

  12. I agree, dumb analogy on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 1

    It started out promising with the double clicking of the doorbell, but then went awry. Ok, lots of times software isn't properly designed. There's feature-creep and communication problems can often result in a product that is unuseable. Talk about stating the obvious in a completely half assed way. And even look at the article's point that there have been 5000 years of architectural evolution. They ommit that 5000 years is orders of magnitude more time to evolve than software has had. Ugh...

  13. Is the juice worth the squeeze? on Issues Surrounding Installation of a Cell Tower? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It'll look like crap and will deminish property values. If you've got neighbors, they'll hate you for it. You'd have to give me a boat load of cash to even consider it, but everyone's got their price. What's yours?

  14. Re:FAST Mirror of movie on Self-Replicating Robots · · Score: 1

    Thanks!
