  2. Clueless Optimism on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 1

    Like there's actually going to *be* a Windows or Microsoft by 2011.

  3. Lack of Foresight on Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight · · Score: 1

    I can't believe that someone who has made such a significant impact upon our knowledge of the environment outside our own planet, could show such a utter lack of vision and foresight.

    I'll give you the only reason we need to continue our manned exploration of space; unless someone can figure out a way to stop human beings fucking each other we'll fill this little planet of ours to capacity within a handful of centuries. It's expand or perish, folks, and the only direction we have left to expand is Up.

    Anyway, how are we supposed to take over the galaxy if we bum around the bottom of a gravity well? Duh!

  4. Re:common misconception on The Object Oriented Hype · · Score: 1

    The functions are linked conceptually, and if the coder is any good there will be logic inside the functions to ensure that only the correct objects are allowed in.

    The only difference between a full-blown object oriented language and C is that with C you have to do all the hard work yourself. More importantly, you have to define an operational model and stick to it (And that's really hard).

    Besides, it's all just ones and zeros in the end.

  6. What do we do with all the cows? on Scientists Hope to Clone Woolly Mammoth · · Score: 1

    One thing I've always wondered ... If the whole planet stops eating meat, what do we do with all the animals whose population is rapidly increasing, despite the large numbers killed by the meat industry every year?
