    Not since the year of BSD tablet happened.

  2. Re:QUERY !! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LINUS MEETS BUS ?? on Linux Kernel 3.1 RC 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Any chance that (mostly coordinating/overseeing) this is his biggest contribution so far?

  3. Re:Wait... on Mozilla To Remove User-Facing Firefox Version Numbers · · Score: 1

    As balanced against the customers that are pissed to you because your crapware you deployed 3 years ago requires you to maintain a VM with a specific browser version?

    They don't have a choice really. Their duty is towards the shareholders; your pension might be invested in them. Share price has to go up.

    Tooth fairy is a government (parents) subsidised market inefficiency aimed to elict an expected behaviour out of you :)

    Thank you, kind sir! Please make sure that your account is in good standing to avoid ... uhm... *overdraft fees and ensure good credit score*. Yeah, that.

  9. Re:Now all I need... on Linux 3.0 Will Have Full Xen Support · · Score: 1

    Last 5 machines assigned for me to have fun in had each 16 cores and 96GB RAM each... I have requested 3 more.

  10. Re:Certifications don't impress... on Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get? · · Score: 1

    I would bet my money on OS/2 - unbelievabe amount of infrastructure still runs on OS/2 Warp and not many realize that.

    "Professional Mobile Web Development with Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal" equals to "Masturbating to the images of your sister using your toy car, stereoscope and that industrial saw in the corner of the garage".

    I would pay for third on my own but can anybody suggest a reasonably priced half heigth video card that would support that? (yes, I'm on dell optiplex 990 (IIRC))

  16. Re:Evan, the best programmer evah on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    (I don't disagree about skills overlap between mobile and embedded though)

  17. Re:Evan, the best programmer evah on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    Not really anymore. Embedded systems presume predictability of running enviroment and generally also close enough control of the software stack that some degree of real time execution can be assumed. Consoles are way closer to be considered embedded systems than your off the mill smartphone.

  18. Re:Experienced only? on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    Please don't touch mobile. Work on web projects.

    The fact that Mobile is the new default practice ground for people with no background, no idea of NFR's, no idea on usability saddens me a lot. If you keep that on some geocities hosting until you fail a few times, get better, and I don't have to see the first cuts - great. Just don't pollute the app stores.

  19. Re:Experienced only? on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    In my experience the CS grads are way worse - they 'belive' they 'know' and refuse to undestand why let's say a 1000+ headcount company is not immediately superexcited for their suggestions to (as an example) deploy some open source half baked monitoring solution.

  20. Re:It's not a scam if people like it on Why People Should Stop Being Duped By the 3D Scam · · Score: 1

  22. Re:So much for eDir in France on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 1

    No such thing as non-reversible encrypted hashes. There's still an easy to handle upper bound if you want it hard enough.
