  3. Your reputation ain't so hot... on The Reality of Online Reputation · · Score: 5, Funny

    I took your advice, and googled you.

    Your reputation isn't very good. I see you were involved with some hype and computer crashes a few years ago, and caused millions of dollars in damage at some companies.

    Geeze, I'd never hire you! You'd be lucky to get a job as a janitor at chicken farm!

    But what you can do, is accumulate a lot of fans.

    Yes, but the number of fans is buried several clicks in your user profile, and thus your reputation is pretty obscured somewhere in those links.

    When I read your post, it's not immediately obvious that $$$$$exyGal is a person with a good reputation (or should I say "reputation" :)

    People with high karma can post with the "+1 Karma Bonus", but many readers disable the Karma bonus these days (I think it's off for new users by default).

    I have "excellent" karma, many friends & fans, several freaks, and a good number of foes. But unless you spent a couple of minutes investigating my user profile, the only "reputation" that you see is my relatively low userid.

    So in many ways, my reputation is better then yours. Nya nya!

    Personally, I'd like to see the number of friends & fans in the grey user box that appears with every post, but I'm sure the poor databases are already hammered without these additional reads...

    But maybe I'm just a reputation whore...

  6. Looks open on Y-12 Plant Turns Sixty · · Score: 1

    Looks like they provide a bus tour, and that the museum is still open.

    But tours are pretty common at big federal facilities these days. The federal facilities still want to promote themselves to the public, and a bus allows more secure control and over the visitors.

    My wife and I were able to take a special bus tour through the Kennedy Space Center, which brought us within 1000 feet of the Shuttle launching pad and the huge storage building (the normal tour took you within a mile, and you have to stay in the bus). This was April, 2002. The special tours had been closed from 9/11 until a few days before we got there, so we were very lucky.

    but how is it not "mature"

    Mature means it has been around long enough to fix major bugs.

    I still read about major bugs with IE6, wheras IE5.5 is pretty good.

    For the most part, I use Mozilla anyways.

  10. Coudn't find a date for Valentines day on Japanese Man Arrested For Virtual Theft · · Score: 1

    Quit projecting your homophobia and self-loathing onto other people.

    People have a right wear whatever clothes they want, act any way they want, and have a right to have a self-financed sex-change if they want (Even though we have no idea if Danamania had surgery).

    It's their fucking body, and it has no impact on your life whatsoever, so leave her the fuck alone.

    Do you want me to come over and tell you how you should treat your body, what clothes you should wear, and what to do with your hair?

    If anything, danamania's webpage shows an intellegent, witty, and clever person. Why should you care about anything else, especially when your relationship with her is all virtual anyways.

  11. Comparison to Sun's Java? on Blackdown Releases a 1.4.1 JDK · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm curious, why would I want to use Blackdown or IBM's Java over Sun's Java? Am I missing some wonderous features or something?

    Any tables out there comparing the various Java Flavors?

    Seems to me that Sun's Java is the most mature of the Java's, and that Sun engineers have the most experience with Java and therefore will probably create the best Java implementation.

    Am I wrong?

    Right on Xyde.

    Apparently Amigaluvr was looking for a date for this V-day, hit on Danamania, and found an unexpected surpise.

    Perhaps he's just overcompensating up for his own hidden transgender feelings. The biggest homophobes are usually closet homosexuals who take out their self-loathing on other people.

    I have IE 5.5 on my system. Every time I go into "Windows Update", the system says that "CRITICAL UPDATE: You must upgrade to IE6", but then they don't say WHY this is a critical update, other then it supports the MS marketing machine.

    I'll upgrade to 6 when it's a little more mature, thank you very much.

    A lawyer, a doctor and a computer engineer were driving a car up a curvy, hilly road.
