  1. Re:Bad Kool-Aid. on Does C# Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    Please take a look at Eiffel ENViSioN! if you're looking for templates (called generics in Eiffel and Ada, and more appropriately so IMHO) and multiple inheritance in .NET.

    Also interesting is the new F# language from MS that is an implementation of (the functional language) CAML for .NET.

  2. Re:Since when... on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apart from the fact that European Union != Europe, I would like to stress the fact that there are a lot more countries that have space programs and astronauts.

    Shameless plug for my country: Here you can read about a Romanian astronaut. :-)

  3. Re:OMG!11!! on Microsoft Patenting IM Translation? · · Score: 1

    How does it translate "omg, LOL"?

    Perhaps by using something like Google Glossary?

  4. Re:Bullet-proof nano-fabric? on Nanotube Applications Grow And Grow · · Score: 1

    Without some impact absorbance, the bullet would just end up dragging a whole bunch of cloth into the gaping hole in your chest.

    What I thought about the bullet-proof nano-fabric was that it could stiffen on impact. (Something similar to the safety belt in the car: when the force is higher than a threshold it blocks.) That would be really cool!

  5. Re:Next generation of cheats on Tetris AI System · · Score: 1

    ...someone had a bot improve their aiming in Quake.

    You mean that there are bots for that? Could you give me a link? May I qoute you on that? I always lose at FPSs, but I can now have a reasonable doubt that the others are cheating... :-)

  6. Re:Elegant code like this? on Immortal Code · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a funny happening where some friends told me of an interesting problem: Write a program that writes (on the standard output) the listing of the program!

    They showed me some quite interesting C and Pascal source code to do that. But then I realized that the simplest way was to use the best language for the job:

  7. Nice, but... on nVidia Unified Drivers Including Linux/FreeBSD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about releasing the drivers as open source? Then you'll have a lot of support from the Linux community. (see previous thread about the linux kernel)

  8. One solution to spam... on Email (As We Know It) Doomed? · · Score: 4, Informative

    ... has been discussed here before: Hash Cash.

  9. Dust on Lightning Rods for Nanoelectronics · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Ever wanted to remove the dust that accumulates inside your computer? Think again about how to do it. :-) I know someone who tried to remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner. Guess what didn't work anymore... :-)

  10. Platform? on Microsoft foils Xbox hackers with new Config · · Score: 1

    MSFT used to be good on marketing platforms. What happened to them?
