  2. Fear on High-tech Cars Replacing Driver Skill? · · Score: 0

    I really don't see why anyone would be afraid of new vehicle technologies. It's simply going to remove all the annoying things that we've grown used to do but will no longer have to burden ourselves with.

  3. Re:The CD is dead on After Brief Respite Music Industry Slump Deepens · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure how that is possible... take a look at the history of the Compact Disk. It clearly states that the Compact Disk was available for public consumption in the 80s.

  4. Re:Perhaps a dime or three wouldn't hurt. on Red Hat Listed Among 50 Top Tech Companies · · Score: 0

    I did the same and am sitting at a 290.15% gain on my investment.

  5. Re:My question on The Useless Meeting Wack Jobs · · Score: 1, Funny

    The real thing to do is to read all the corporate email, given you have access to it, and study it all day instead of working. If you do this then you will know whom to avoid at all costs and who might actually have a small grain of intelligence. Create a database/spreadsheet, depending on your expertise, and make a report with graphs to keep your heads up on office wide trends ;)

  6. Re:Code Monkeys v. Architect? on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 1

    This is my sentiment exactly. The only real avenue for this sort of union like organizations in the tech industry, that I know of, are corporations with a great reputation. It comes as no surprise that our entire industry faces this sort of situation without a common work force that sets a high standard for quality.

    It might be a good idea to analyze the methods of companies that program software for airlines and medical equipment. What we need is a union, much like steel worker unions, to bring us together based on rigid standards and high levels of expertise. If anyone knows of anything like this please let us all know and I will definitely sign up.

  7. Re:ALL platforms? on EA and NVIDIA in Alliance · · Score: 1

    Yes and EA is married to itself. It still irks me that they should be crediting Sega for giving them a great platform to make their sports games yet they never supported the Dreamcast. EA Sucks! =)

  8. Re:ALL platforms? on EA and NVIDIA in Alliance · · Score: 1

    I still have not pushed Linux with games much, the few times that I have there has not been very good results. It sure would be nice if video drivers for Linux weren't an afterthought but a high priority. :(

    Your Game Sucks

  9. Mod Chips = copyright infringement on Man Jailed for Selling Modchips · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't think you can blame them for wanting the software companies that have signed on with them to get money. Sure you're using it for legitimate uses but most people are definitely not.

  10. Re:Who needs XML when you got PXML? on DTD vs. XML Schema · · Score: 1

    WDDX is another subset of XML, of course it's been superseded by other standards but there are implentations of it within most web languages so if you want to use it it's already supported there.
