  1. C# is a mistake on Mono Beta 2 Released · · Score: 1

    All C# is, is Microsofts answer to java. As history repeats itself, I'm sure we will rue the day we ever heard about Mono, C# or .NET, or ever tried to get it to run on Linux. Much in the same way we all rue those wonderful little macro/vbscript inventions that were so cool years ago.

  2. Umm.. well.. on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    learn to type? You would be surprised how fast you can go without looking at the keys once you learn how.

    in favor of a sporty looking sidekick. Nobody runs away fast with an ass full of lead.

  5. what do you expect on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 1

    from a country that is outsourcing all it's technology to other countries? I bet if you go to the comcast website in India, you will find 100 openings for a new TV show there.

  6. awwww fuck on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No more Leo...That's too bad. It was a good show - had something for everyone if you waited long enough. They didn't leave out the Mac or Linux crowd (even think I remember them talking *BSD a few times) and weren't just a bunch of Windows Power Users filling a time slot. All good things come to and end I guess.

  7. hochimama on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 1

    Uh oh.. here come the "..She was a hooker with a broken windows install" stories.

  8. Linus says they're working on it on Usenix President - Linux Needs Better Paper Trail · · Score: 1

    At least for patch submissions anyway. new patch submissions It's going to take a while to integrate full blown political ass-covering into the linux kernel process -- if that's even what the developers/Linux want. Adding too much of that stuff eventually makes it hard to even fart without signing-off on a dozen "TPS reports" first. Good luck guys.

  9. more opportunistic bottom feeding on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 1

    I always hated math, now this gives me more of a reason.

  10. They are not all that 'green' on China's New Craze: E-bikes · · Score: 1

    As it's plugged in for that 4-6 hour charge time every night, there is a generating station somewhere burning up fossil fuel to juice it. I'll be impressed when I can burn farts to make the thing run.

  13. Re:Contamination on U.S. Will Use Robots to Patrol Water Supply · · Score: 1

    That would leave out a network of Benders then. Could you see an army of Benders patrolling Lake Mean? There would be a constant stream of them stumbling back and forth between the lake and the strip bars.

  14. simplicity/reliability isn't Diebolds problem on Indian Voting Machines Compared with Diebold · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's just too hard to fix an election if the system is simple or reliable. It seems there is a need to keep voters confused and distracted, and this would fit perfectly with the Diebold design.

  15. What a bunch of malarkey on IT Outsourcing Need Not Threaten Our Future · · Score: 1

    The problem with outsourcing is very simple. For the brain dead that keep pimping this horseshit about how its good for the economy, I will pose this simple example.

    -You have a bag of M&Ms.
    -I come along and take half of them to china/india.
    -You have 50% less M&Ms

    It's that simple. So who does benefit from china having half your M&Ms?
    Surprise. The M&Ms company. Were you surprised?

    It's about a company making more money buy selling a product at a reduced cost of production.
    Period and friggin end. It is *that* simple.

    The funny fsking thing is, the same people that are loosing their jobs to the outsourcing,
    are consumers of the product that is now made in a different country for way less money,
    but we still pay the same price for it.

    Think about that the next time you buy some software, a new pair of shoes, or some underpants. check out the label - see where it's made?

  16. That cig lighter thing is cool on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 1

    It will come in handy for all those long road trips to the M.A.D.D. seminars.

    Chipmaker VIA posted an article on their website Friday claiming to be the first ever to port the full line of Microsoft Office and Server products to the handheld game console. The article mysteriously vanished and was later replaced by an article claiming the chip giant to be the first ever to port McAfee Antivirus to the handheld game console.

  19. Linux tax on Illinois Considers Taxing Custom Software · · Score: 1

    It's clear the state of Illinois wants to cash in on the Linux craze. "Free" is only as free as the amount of tax it is subject to. Perhaps we need to redefine OSS as "Gift software"

    In sixth grade.. went on a class field trip to Washington D.C. Touring one of those old-ass historical white pillar buildings, dont remember which one, but the tour guide stood a good distance from the group, and in a certain spot on the floor with his back turned, we could hear ever word he was whispering, but only when he was in that certain spot, and we were in our certain spot. amazing sheeat.
