  6. Gravity is dying! on Water Flows Uphill · · Score: 2, Funny

    It is official; BBC confirms: gravity is dying One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered gravity community when IDC confirmed that gravity market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all garden shows. Coming on the heels of a recent BBC survey which plainly states that gravity has lost more garden market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. gravity is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Dyson comprehensive water test.

    You don't need to be a Newton to predict gravity's future. The hand writing is on the wall: gravity faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all because gravity is dying. Things are looking very bad for gravity. Red ink flows like an uphill river of blood.

  13. Re:On the same note... on Dan Bricklin: Democratizing the Web · · Score: 1

    :o You see what I was getting at though...there are always going to be some jobs that you can't do yourself, either because the money for tools, or time required to gain knowledge to do it exceeds what you can afford to offer.

  14. On the same note... on Dan Bricklin: Democratizing the Web · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I propose that installing central heating be as easy as turning my heating on, making my own car be as easy as driving.

    Poor analogies perhaps...anyway...my main point is this, you *can* do it yourself, but it'll never be as good as having a specialist do it.
    I know I'd rather pay a plumber to install my heating than end up with a leaky botch job that I put in myself.

    Not everyone is as clever as what you am.

    Also, I'm not sure about other languages...but I've just been reading "Practical C Programming" and the author maintains that if you have a decent compiler, bitwise operations don't offer any speed advantages.

    I, though, am of the opinion that, if I spend ages doing it in the first place, why should someone coming in know exactly how it's done just by looking at it.

    No offence, but you're all talking a load of crap.

    He should just shut up and do as his parent/guardian says? Why not explain why doing the homework is a Good Thing(TM)? Why not let him do it in his own time?

    If I take work home with me now, I sure as hell don't sit down and do it straight away. Maybe his parents should be helping him manage his time, ya know...setting him up for his future, rather than helping the school system teach him everything by rote,no questions asked, just because that's how we think it should be done.
