    I don't want to "see" a laser than can generate enough heat to start a fusion reaction.

    I prefer one password for each system I sign in. That's The Right Thing.

    Single sign-on.... What's that? too lazy to memorize a bunch of passwords?

  9. I 0wn object "object" on USPTO Issues Email Address Patent to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    FYI I patented the object "object". And since every other object inherits from my patented object everybody (meaning all of you) must make a deposit on my bank account paying for royalties. My team of lawyers would be contacting you soon to give a description on the details. Thank you.

  11. Easy to shoot your own foot w/Pascal on Free Pascal 2.0 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember in the early 90's making a code review on someone's pascal code. His program was underperforming running very slow. I found out he was passing a typedef'ed char array of 255 characters as value to some function. Pushing the entire array into the stack on every function call was killing performance. After changing that to pass the array as a reference the app performed drastically better. And that was just by adding 'var' in front of the parameter argument.

    A good education system would show students the different OS alternatives existing out there -- Mac, Windows, Lunix, etc.. But, hey, that's just my opinion.

  17. Re:Yeah, Right... on Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath" · · Score: 0
    As if seeing Qui-Gon Jinn being run through and Darth Maul cut completely in half wouldn't be disturbing enough
