  1. what a good idea on Google Hacks · · Score: 2, Informative
    I hope they make $$$, what a wonderful idea for a book.

    BTW - google has a new pricewatch service, froogle.google.com. It doesn't sort by price, but you can lower the upper-bound price limit.

  2. Re:No creativity on Children Of Dune Tonight · · Score: 1

    Agreed. The TV show gave me the impression that Paul was a vacant mouthpiece for some god. The movie portrayed him as intelligent, which is how I intrepreted the book.

  3. Re:Muzak on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1
    No, Space Muzak...

    heartsofspace dot com

  4. Summary on Source Code To Dungeon Master Java Released · · Score: 4, Funny
    public class DungeonMaster
    {
    public native void launch();
    public void main() {new DungeonMaster.launch();}
    static {System.loadLibrary("DungeonMaster");}
    }

    Just kidding ;-)

  5. bcentral? on Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 1

    I could be totally mistaken, but I think bcentral is one of their major spamming arms. As I understand it (not totally sure), you can't unsubscribe from their master list, only from the individual vendors they send spam for.
    Correct me if I'm wrong. I tried to find the truth but got lost in the process.

  6. How about on Music Industry's Future Foretold in China? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't an artist give away the music and make money from live performances and shooting commercials for Pepsi?

  7. Come on guys on Sun Releases Open Source XACML Language · · Score: 1

    Sun is providing Java programmers for easily accessing and mutating this new ACL standard. This has value since there are so many fucking Java programmers you morons.

  8. Re:Office Space on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Your company must not have very large accounting or marketing depts. Plain girls are easy to find there.

  9. Office Space on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 4, Funny

    was pretty accurate.

  10. Good for spammers! on U.S. Endorses ENUM · · Score: 1

    It'll be to easy for spammers to find recipients at random, the scheme looks too ordered.

  11. Re:The site looks fake.. on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood? · · Score: 1
    This must have been the pitch. This /. article may in fact be part of the pitch. I doubt they have money yet.

    Interesting idea, using traffic to the concept site to quantify demand...

  12. Futile on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1
    You know, if you sit around waiting for someone to stop the spam for you - you are one dumb mofo. Stop requesting fills using your real address...

    jsmith@yahoo.com

  13. Re:Uh oh on Dennis Ritchie Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've been scarred for life too. We need a support group or something... With lots of beautiful blonde women.

  14. To rich for my blood, I'll take Z-340 on Logitech Z-680 Dolby 5.1 PC Speakers Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Awsome (Logitech) 3 speaker system for $36 (newegg). Search for internet reviews, they're quite a bargain.

  15. they've got it all wrong on Why Users Hate IT Products and Developers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'techie masters' hate users

  16. Re:Inventor of the Telegraph? on Who Really Invented The Telegraph? · · Score: 1
    He was on my list of suggestions too, but he was fourth....

    I'm voting for Charles Manson.

  17. Re:Kids on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I am a parent of two and I'm just not up to your standards. Sure my kids occasionally have a veggie, but it is not their preference. If my household is not in the minority, something like this will have a profound effect upon society. Imagine if all we ever ate was good food because it tasted great... Although I don't think I can give up pizza. Hmmmm

  18. Re:Kids on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Are you a parent?

  19. Kids on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    It'll be amazing if we can kids to eat green stuff. The long term effects of this may be profound. I would go so far as to say society as a whole would improve.

  20. Re:i hate perl... on XML and Perl · · Score: 1
    You are right of course. Perl is as fast as Java and paring XML is most assuredly the domain of a scripting language.

    ha ha ha

  21. Re:i hate perl... on XML and Perl · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Perl does not rip through text files. Programmers can rip through perl code, but perl is SLOW. I once rewrote a Perl parser in Java and went from 9hrs to 45mins.

  22. I sure he missed on How to be a Programmer · · Score: 1

    as well as everyone here... treat your peers with respect. A real programmer has nothing to prove.

  23. Re:Doubtful on Immortal Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good algorithms transcend the media on which they are stored and their language of implemenation.

  24. Doubtful on Immortal Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think they talked to many coders. Who doesn't keep a copy of their work, especially if it is good?
    Good code get reused, but in a more organic way...

  25. Re:Grep it instead! on Using gzip As A Spam Filter · · Score: 1

    How exactly would you know what to grep for? I believe the value is in pattern identification and grep can't do that. Then again maybe I'm just not 'cool' ;-)
