  6. more than that. on An On/Off Switch for Genes · · Score: 1

    There is no "bad part" of the genes. The more variation in the race, the better the possibility of survival upon any castrophies. Natural or unnatural.

    Think about how dinosaurs was wiped out. The great variations of genes protect the specie from other species, natural disasters, and all sorts of other things that might wipe out the entire specie.

    Me think, Interfering with genes is a bad idea. Really, Really, bad.

    At least we can thank Christians that this stupid idea of changing genes will get lots of resistance.

    There's a very old debate about whether modeern keyboards have caused pain because in the old days when people have to use typewriters and old IBM "BANG ME" keyboards, this never ever happened! and your theory explains why... in order to use these typewriters and keyboards, you would have to bang REAL hard and that kinda strengthens your fingers and hands instead of weakens it.
    Of course after you bang the keyboard for a while you'd get tired and yor finger will take a break.


    I type all day long and used to type fast 15+ hours a day, bad posture, and i never had any pain or anything like that. it kinda explains it now, because I am a strong person and most people complaining about these things are usually skinny little geeks.

    Get a kick butt fast keyboard. my Northgate can repeat SO fast it's not funny.

    I'd agree that FVWM is the most keyboardless WM, and WindowMaker is pretty good.

    Why would you put more than one window in a workspace anyway? just use one app per workspace then you can get one keystroke to go to an app. of course then you run out of keys...

    I use WMaker, all i have to do to launch netscape (DEFAULT configuration) is F12-7 down arrows, one right arrow, four down arrows. if i make my programmable keyboard MCK-142 to memorize this then it's one keystroke.
    unfortunately WM is not documented completely as of key bindings.

  19. Re:Asm just owns you. on V2 OS · · Score: 1

    you are not a real man if you can't talk in English. I bet $100 bucks that at the time you write this crap you have no clue what piplining optimization is.

  20. Re:wow. on V2 OS · · Score: 1

    Those of you believe in ASM programming is faster apparently have never done any code optimization job before and never coded ASM of a BIG program. Of course, because nobody with the right mind will do that. Sure if you compare "Hello World" in C and ASM you'd see a huge difference, but how many ASM programmers can write something as big as a GUI wordprocessor? No way.

    The only use of ASM, admittedly, is more than just reverse engineering. Some little bits and pieces of procs may be re-written in ASM to increase performance. Some device drivers may be written in ASM. I love ASM but I ain't crazy.

    I have coded both MIPS and x386 and just THINKING about the thousands of block graphs for optimization is a horrible thought.

    In this particular case of OS, i think it's a terrible idea because that makes it so damn hard to be portable, pretty much impossible. And even harder to read the source code, if not impossible. Granted that GCC ain't perfect, writing a compiler is hard as hell, MUCH HARDER THAN WRITING AN OS. what do you expect for free?

  21. Re:Simulating other systems on FreeMWare: Like VMWare but Open Source · · Score: 1

    Intel may be interested in that. Right now, normal users no longer want the fastest CPUs, (how much CPU power can you consume for wordprocessing.) this is a perfect thing for intel to expand demand for faster processors, multiple processor machines, etc.

    I personally think it's a stupid thing to do, thought. I'd rather just put a dedicated Windows box in the corner.

  22. Re:Law and Order in China on China Sentences Bank Cracker/Thief to Death · · Score: 1

    Cut the crap. For a moment i thought there's another Jon Katz.
    The only reason behind the severe sentences is the lack of money and communism. Chinese has its own judiciary system date back thousand of years ago. It was designed, with a lot of flaws, to be flexible. Some of the criminals got really sympathetic response from the judges and got taken care of. For example, a man who killed his brother's wife because the wife had an affair and murdered her husband were generally agreed to have very light sentence. (only forced to move and have the crime tattoo'ed on his face.)

    From what i can see, apparently the communist made a twist out of it.

    Fact is, a wealthy and stable society can afford a reasonable judiciary system.

  25. absolutely on China Sentences Bank Cracker/Thief to Death · · Score: 1

    Any of you have talked about this subject with any mainland Chinese will find that it's not really uncommon.

    I talked to a Chinese guy a few months ago, and he told me that when there were two gangsters fighting with each other, the millitary police would just stand back and watch - when one of the gangsters die, they got to the other gangster and execute him. Human right is a joke. The judiciary system is a fraud.

    Communism, what do you expect?

    There's no doubt that part of this is due to the tradition, but I suspect the true cause behind it is both economical and political. Compare China with other Chinese government systems. Taiwan is the capitalism counterpart of China, Taiwanese no longer have any human rights issue. But that's only after Taiwanese economic miracle. Look at Singapore, a very wealthy country but also a country of dictatorship, there are quite a few human rights issue there, too.

    Economically, if the govn't is not rich enough to pay for trial and jailcells, the only resolution is to execute people.

    Politically, i suspect any country with dictatorship would not let people to stand a fair trial.
