  1. Re:Mac as ultimate dev machine no more? on Apple Deprecates Their JVM · · Score: 1

    I believe this was an attempt to be right, albeit in a completely unrelated way.

  2. Re:So they are dropping another tech on Apple Deprecates Their JVM · · Score: 1

    From your link:

    Apple Computer supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac.

    So just when is this new implementation of Java on the Mac going to be published by our benefactors over at Oracle?

  3. Re:Haha on 1,200 NASA Layoffs, Shuttle Fuel Tank Plant Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    It's working great. The shuttle program is a waste of money. A lot of these jobs were wasteful government spending. Private enterprise can do space travel better.

  4. Re:It's almost as if on Senate Votes To Turn Down Volume On TV Commercials · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a wildly popular bill with broad bi-partisan support, a true no-brainner. With that said, don't worry, the party in power will still find some way to fuck it up.

    There. FTFY.

  5. Re:I agree. on Researcher Builds Machines That Daydream · · Score: 1

    Agreed. What malarkey. Produce a PNG with your brain. You can't. You can try to interpret the signals from your mental activity, but you don't end up with perfect pixel per pixel accuracy. You end up with an interpretation.

  6. Re:Hooray for freedom on HDCP Master Key Revealed · · Score: 1

    The old-style physical content distribution model is dead.

    So where do I go to buy 1080p content online?

  7. Re:Blimps vs. 747s, a good reason to keep helium. on Why the World Is Running Out of Helium · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good analogy! "Your basic blimp" vs. a 747 is clearly an apples-to-apples comparison!

  8. Re:Getting screwed in both directions on Microsoft May Back Off of .NET Languages · · Score: 1

    C++0x is trying to do this with the new use of the "auto" keyword. I like the concept: you can tell the compiler to deduce the type on any variable you're initializing with the result of a function call. I can't wait to see how that works in actual production code.

    Try var in C#. While not as far reaching as auto in C++0x, it's extremely useful. In my experience, it works great.

  9. Re:why the fuck are these people deciding? on Google & Verizon's Real Net Neutrality Proposal · · Score: 1

    The people petitioning the FCC on Google and Verizon's behalf are lobbyists.

  10. So... on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 0

    What's your serial number?

  11. Re:So let's see... on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    My God! That's the same as the combination on my luggage!

  12. Re:Meanwhile, in the intergalactic NOC on X-Ray Burst Temporarily Blinds NASA Satellite · · Score: 1

    I don't know what has me tickled more, the fact that the galaxy is on a private IP network, or that it's on IPv4!

  13. Re:Only a TWIT would use Twitter on Twitter API ToS To Force Routing Clicks To Twitter · · Score: 1

    I would bitch about it on the Internet. Should solve your problem.

  14. Re:This is great! on Software Recognizes Sarcastic Tweets · · Score: 1

    Come on, can we be serious, please? This is an important discussion.

  15. Re:No Effect on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 1

    If Texas wants to eliminate liberal bias and insert some neoconservative/christian right bias then so be it.

    Actually, it sounds like your indoctrination has taken hold just fine. Shouldn't our goal be to minimize bias entirely?

  16. Re:How many ways are there to do simple things? on Why Computer Science Students Cheat · · Score: 1

    Slashdot stripped out the less than sign. HAND.

  17. Re:There is no match on Star Wars To Air As Animated Sitcom · · Score: 3, Funny

    NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  18. Re:Easy. on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    This would matter if the PC was generating anything "higher bandwidth" than AC3, DTS or PCM 192. To my knowledge, there's no gain to running the audio over HDMI from an HTPC. DVI will give you 1920x1080 at 60Hz. Convert that bad boy to DVI and you're golden.

  19. Re:huh? on Amazon Battles Apple By Arm-Twisting Publishers · · Score: 1

    He meant the life of the company, not the purchaser.

    Besides, why shouldn't his books live on after he dies? Shouldn't he be able to give them to friends and family?

  20. Re:Reminds me of broadband internet in the beginni on Gas Wants To Kill the Wind · · Score: 2, Informative

    Haven't you heard? The stimulus is socialism.

  21. To be clear... on Final Fantasy I and II Are Coming To the iPhone and iPod Touch · · Score: 1

    Are we talking about I and II, or I and IV?

    So, what, two weeks? ;)

  23. Re:Blakes 7 on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I can't wait to see two dimensional character development and terrible continuity with great special effects. Maybe they can use some digital effects to insert Blake into the rest of the series.
