  1. Re:Move on NASA! on Water Flowed Recently on Mars · · Score: 1

    You underestimate the power of faith. There will be found evidence in the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur'an that conveniently proves that life on Mars was part of God/Yahweh/Allah's plan all along.

    It doesn't really matter that Gateway had USB ports around 96/97 (USB 1.0 is from january 1996), the USB boom didn't start until 1998, which is coincidentally the same year that Apple released the iMac. Also: Platform wars are dumb. Use the best tool for the job.

    Yeah it's pretty much the same in most of Europe actually. Immigration is pretty lame at the moment since they're trying to crack down on OH NOEZ TERRORISTS so there are all kinds of retarded laws.

    It's basically legal to get drunk in parks or in the zoo or whatever. So that's what we do. I really miss walking on the sidewalk with some friends, each a beer in hand (and none of that brown bag crap).

  5. Re:Interning overseas on Summer Internships - The Good, and the Bad? · · Score: 1

    I'm not really wasting my summer, I'd say. I have a number of friends who live here in San Francisco, so I've been hanging out with them a lot, which is usually not possible. I'm not getting paid a lot for this, but it's enough to make do and have money left when I go back. Also my planeticket was paid for by the company.

  7. Interning overseas on Summer Internships - The Good, and the Bad? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am a Danish computer science student, currently interning for a small telecom/tech startup in South SF, working mostly on Java and frontend stuff. This is my first internship overseas.

    It's a lot of fun to see the dynamics of such a small company (less than ten employees as compared to my previous employer which had 3000 in the main location).

    I can warmly recommend trying it out! If it's not for you, hey you only wasted a couple of months, but you got a lot of experience and something nice to put on your resume. If you like it, well then you may even be a future hire!

    I gotta admit though: Going back home in 3 weeks, I am starting to feel a bit of homesickness. Plus I miss public intoxication, oh God.

    That has little to do with socialism and more to do with totalitarianism.

    What's wrong with that? It's a document, it shouldn't be able to pose any kind of security risk at all.

    Apple said they won't prevent Windows from booting, so I take that as a yes.

    What does CrossOver actually offer that Wine doesn't? I'm finding it hard to find some cold data. FWIW, the Darwine guys have been working on Wine for MacOS X for quite some time now, and the whole intel chip thing will undoubtably make their job easier.

    Oh yeah, I would have made one myself if I had any equipment to hook up to the SE back in the day. As it is, I only made SCUMM-clones & such.

    Think of the possibilities. How about a shirt with a USB port & flash memory so you could put all kinds of crazy pics on your shirt. Or possibly some sort of scripting language for ever-changing fractals. Now that would be cool.
