  1. Re:Going down in flames on Ask Slashdot: Making JavaScript Tolerable For a Dyed-in-the-Wool C/C++/Java Guy? · · Score: 1

    jquery is quite awesome. Sounds to me like your a curmudgeon! Is it comfy, knowing that everyone will toil as hard as you do to produce results, once we give up our tools so you can "not have headaches" (i.e. not have to understand a thing before commenting on it?)

  2. go assert yourself... on Ask Slashdot: Making JavaScript Tolerable For a Dyed-in-the-Wool C/C++/Java Guy? · · Score: 3, Informative

    let go, my man... breath the untyped air.

    Real tip: "use strict" at the top of your code and and write using assert() methods. A little more tedious, but your used to that, right? Being "dyed-in-the-wool" and all...

  3. Re:Hopefully it's more reliable on New Intel 520 Series SSD Taps SandForce Controller · · Score: 2

    ocz agility 3 - mac osx - 5 mo. use without problem and even though i haven't passed the early failure window im tossing in the datapoint. *IF* it fails (i feel i trust it, but hey) i'll be here to bitch about it in the future :-) Rarely hear from the happy ones, i've found... i wonder what the failure rate really is?

  4. Re:Dying from lack of surprise... on White House Refuses To Comment On Petition To Investigate Chris Dodd · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So why don't we do ask this again - and better people then me should phrase it - but this time asking if they think "that type of corruption has is occuring" and "if Chriss Dodd 's actions are aligned with the morals of the administration"? Is this "a cockroach you see", among the thousands we don't? What is the white house's stance on money in politics, and have they investigated others, during the this administration? Who is analyzing finances and trends to spot inconsistencies? Are there any active investigations of this at present?

    it's wrong to just not answer, when they could have made a statement, avoiding the issue of guilt. That's a cop out, and i expect more.

    "automatically come into focus" mucho approve! That's one great idea (stick a keyboard modifier in front of the command, and it could be damned useful.

    respect, if only for mentioning 'ol Tom. Almost every GF I've had seems like a character from his books.. that out of the way, i imagine the google results are delayed on purpose... of course, "google ogle" will probably be a product for the analysts shortly..

    except, moron, you don't have to sign a *contract* if you don't take the phone. You can change, whenever you like, and take your number with you (okay, your not a moron. your sentence was tho)

    which means they are ripping you off if you don't buy a phone, not the reverse. Geez, you act like their motivations are as pure as wind driven snow.

    You know, I'm not ready to go public, but I've made a solution for html that does present an actual stateful app feel while keeping all the best of css, etc. And just what you outlined. It is possible. Out soon...

    well then... sounds like a problem for tool-makers (jquery mobile auto adapting, perhaps?) then app-makers...

  14. Re:lol, cry more, noob on The Headaches of Cross-Platform Mobile Development · · Score: 4, Interesting

    well.. not strictly true. IIRC iOS and android are both converging on (or already have) a view-based hierarchy... the way god intended. Personally i hate the signal-and-slots or win32 methods versus the DOM/events methodology - even if HTML's take on it is a little sprained... however, when i look at iOS, i see the DOM/event pattern, just without the xml (for the programmer, anyway, it's right there in the NIB..)

  15. Re:If you're gonna do it, do it right on The Headaches of Cross-Platform Mobile Development · · Score: -1, Redundant

    what you're saying is, you'd like a UI *different* then your platform, so long as it's consistent? or are you saying that it MUST work along with your platform? at least with HTML apps, i guess people expect less (consistency).

    as far as not liking iOS metaphors in your android env (happy honeycomb android tablet owner here), id say that's just a lot of QQ....

    how is meta-moderation broken? I saw evidence I could relate to, and i believe that it's quite possible these people are shills. You sound very much like someone protecting their /job/. And you being AC? that's just seals it. piss off.

  19. Re:Organized trolling campaign on Slashdot on Hackers Steal $6.7M In Bank Cyber Heist · · Score: 1, Insightful

    he clearly showed that Bonch and Overly Critical Guy had posts which were themes on the same base material. Certainly, a professional advertiser would use such a permutation. That's evidence enough for the court of slashdot... the burden of proof is yours, AC.

    Not sure if serious. he posted evidence, you just don't like it. Refute the claims.. oh wait you won't even post your name. great job.

    i actually did look at both, and he's got a point. This isn't democracy - you either prove your not bonch, or that unfortunate set of posts stands - you're he, and they you. Your comeback is pretty weak, too; it's what one would expect, when weaseling one's way out of being caught. You're more outraged at having the message corrupted then by your person being misidentified. Obvious shilling. (don't trust high ids, kids!)

    well, that's either a moving statement on morality and the price of freedom from someone who stands on a precipice, or the nonsense of someone who doesn't know what will happen next, so afraid of the unknown they beg strangers to cease.. afraid of the dark so they want to legislate the sun stay up from now on.. It's your planet, you decide!

    i have no problem with messages - but every time I see objective-c, i do think to myself, "gee most of the power of python (dynamic runtimes rules the UI!), with all the syntax of C:" - and i kinda wish it was the other way around.

    you're correct. Core Graphics is clearly the technologically superior solution to providing a base level experience and no one here seems to be able to grasp that there actually CAN be a situation where it isn't all some matter of opinion. I guess it's because not all android phones even come with a real video processor, much less standard. Android will always lag, till then. (happy android owner here - because i could get a tablet with a book form factor for GPS in the car dash, only real reason i did)
