  1. Re:Letting it die? on Canadian ISPs Fight Back, Again · · Score: 0

    Those are fanboy reviews. I'm on Teksavvy. The service is good but not that all perfect.

  2. Re:Interface Builder on Beginning iPhone Development · · Score: 0

    I have a different experience with IB. My approach is to get the UI layout done first in IB, and write the code without worrying about what is in the nib files. I just know the outlets are there. Also, when I notice I'm making lots of connections between elements and controllers, that gives me a clue that I decompose the UI further into more manageable parts.

  3. Hmm on EA Hit By Class-Action Suit Over Spore DRM · · Score: 0

    Melissa Thomas? Is she hot?

  4. Not buying this on "Last Lecture" CMU Professor Randy Pausch Dies · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Death is a time to be sad. You lost someone and there will never be that same person again. Professor Pausch's approach to this is greedy and only aims to satisfy his ego. It's a time to show your weakness. That is the nature of all living things. Again, he has his own thing and I have my own.

  5. Re:Don't Buy Foxconn... on MoBo Manufacturer Foxconn Refuses To Support Linux · · Score: 1

    See the problem there?

  6. Re:Don't Buy Foxconn... on MoBo Manufacturer Foxconn Refuses To Support Linux · · Score: 1

    Where do we get a list of Foxconn motherboards?

  7. Brings back memories... on Inside the Lego Factory · · Score: 2, Funny

    I remember those yellow 4x2s are a real pain when I was little. I mean it's like forcing a square peg out a round hole.

  8. Royalty on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    I first read that as "Disgruntled Emperor Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System". Now, that would make the story a hundred times more interesting.

  9. Get me on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    I can do lines for some of the bitches there. $200 should be fine for me.

  10. Not really on Why Did Touch Take 4 Decades to Catch On? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It hasn't caught on really. The technology has just gotten cheaper to whore to the general consumers by corporate dictators like Steve Jobs. People are still oohed by the coolness factor.

  11. Learning languages on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 1

    For a change I decided to learn and understand programming languages themselves. I went back to the old dragon book, and picked up Michael Scott's Programming Language Pragmatics. It's interesting to learn the low levels, and once you learn the basics (parsing/scanning/compiling), you can easily grasp any language out there.

  12. Re:Cloudy thinking on The Blurring Line Between PC and Web · · Score: 1

    Yes. Only grandparents won't know the difference between a desktop app and a website. If you show the Google Earth app to normal users, they will figure out right away it's an online app. This "blurring" thing happens when you just dumb yourself down. AIR and Silverlight, give me a break.

  13. Mob on Game Journalist May Have Been Fired Over Negative Review · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Now Gamespot users are doing their own protest by rating the game 1.0: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/kanelynchdeadmen/players.html?tag=readerreviews;alluser

  14. Re:Beginner's Guide to MS Linux Patents? on Microsoft Claims Patent On Elements of Embedded Linux? · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I'm getting it now.

  15. Beginner's Guide to MS Linux Patents? on Microsoft Claims Patent On Elements of Embedded Linux? · · Score: 1

    Okay, I haven't really followed the history of Microsoft and its Linux patents. Can someone point out the background story of the whole "Microsoft can sue Linux users because it holds patents" thing? What parts of Linux (kernel or distro?) does Microsoft supposedly own? Thanks.

  16. Hmm on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    What's gonna be next? They found a diss track hidden in the Mona Lisa. Titled F-Michaelangelo.

  17. Re:AJAX Frameworks on Learning jQuery · · Score: 1

    How does JQuery compare with Prototype? I'm trying to decide on which one to use.

  18. actually.. on Method of Reading Discovered · · Score: 0

    from

  19. Come on... on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I ever start thinking about building a time machine, I would make a promise to myself beforehand that my first plan of action is to send a message back in time to right now telling me that it works. I'm still waiting for that message.

  20. Re:More than just movies on Twenty Five Years of Tron · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yea, the only thing that's missing is a DIY Tron outfit. If someone comes up with that, it would rule. It would be a challenge to anyone regardless of skill or physical fitness.

  21. Re:answers: on Are End Users to Blame for OS Flaws? · · Score: 1

    Do you really want to save the file?

    Do It | Cancel

  22. Re:Obligatory RIAA slam on Music Decoded From 600-Year-Old Carvings · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, Keith Richards said he's putting it into public domain.

  23. Re:Where to donate... on Gates to join Simonyi in Space? · · Score: 1

    It's not funny anymore.

  24. Requirement on Breaking Down Barriers to Linux Desktop Adoption · · Score: 1

    What Linux needs is a well publicized worm to get to that level.

  25. Re:Sparkle is not Flash on Microsoft's Sparkle a Flash Killer? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it will be a complicated mess bundled with 500-page whitepapers and "this thing rocks" webcasts on MSDN. Meanwhile, a grassroots linux-based solution comes out of nowhere using some obscure scripting language with a wiki at some "xxulo.us" website.
