  1. Re:old farts trying to stay relevent on Microsoft Windows, On a Mainframe · · Score: 1

    things never left the mainframe. you kids just put java front ends on everything.

  2. decaying orbit on Calif. Politican Thinks Blurred Online Maps Would Deter Terrorists · · Score: 5, Insightful

    it's like the USA has been in some kind decaying orbit for the last decade. just when you think the sepo's can't get worse they drop another notch.

  3. Re:This violates VMware's EULA on Parallels Desktop For Mac Vs. VMware · · Score: 1

    wrong. they won't say jack shit least they invoke the streisand effect.

  4. oh noes the databases! on UK Government Wants To Bypass Data Protection Act · · Score: 5, Insightful
    And the morons choose to protest on facebook, so that anyone and everyone can see who you are and it's stored in one of the very databases this kind of act is targeted at.

    not to mention that if your level of protest is a few mouse clicks, no one is going to take you seriously.

  5. budget? on Best Solution For HA and Network Load Balancing? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    you can go as crazy as you like with this kind of stuff, but given your a non profit i'm guessing money is the greatest factor here. my reccomendation would be to purchase managed hosting and NOT try running it yourself. folks with a well established data centre that do this stuff all day long will do it much better,quicker,cheaper than you will be able to.

    there is also more of them than you can poke a stick at and prices are very reasonable. places like rackspace for this kind of thing for $100/mo.

    the other advantage is you don't need to pony up for the hardware.

  6. Re:depends on the doctor on Why Doctors Hate Science · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    i've worked in the medical field and i can say while there are some, most doctors trained after 1980 aren't like this. basicly the tests and intruments we have today weren't around even 30 years ago, and gut feeling and experience was all doctors had to go on when the problem didn't present itself in a text book manner.

    isn't "inventing it first" what innovation is?

  11. Re:Aw jeez, hydrogen AGAIN? on A New Way To Produce Hydrogen · · Score: 2, Interesting
    agreed. electric has the distribution grid already there. it wins.

    i'm still not jumping in until they refine ultra capcaitors to the point i can get 500km out of them per charge. once that happens, sweet.

  12. Re:Al poduction consumes lots of energy on A New Way To Produce Hydrogen · · Score: 1
    uh nice grip on maths you have there. 200% waste? so if i throw out a can it's volume increases?

    it isn't 100% recyclable either, it still needs to be blended with some fresh material. plus there is a waste factor along the way.

  13. kdawson on French President Busted For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    the title says he's been "busted" the summary says he's only been "accused". do they pay you to be an editor? i certainly hope not.

  14. Re:Climate Change? No. on Is Climate Change Affecting Bushfires? · · Score: 1

    err fail, it doesn't matter how hot the weather is, if you do back burning and remove the worst of the fuel you won't have these massive bush fires.

  15. Re:An australian's view on Is Climate Change Affecting Bushfires? · · Score: 1
    i didn't generalise moron, i said there is an ELEMENT of the greenies that are people haters, not all of them.

    and what the fuck does conservativism have to do with this? I'm pro gay marriage, pro abortion, pro evolution and an athiest.

    yes that's right you assumed too much. since your from australia you'll understand this one - PULL YOUR HEAD IN!

    wrong, there is most definately a human hating element to greenies.

  17. classic media "someone must be to blame" on Is Climate Change Affecting Bushfires? · · Score: 0, Troll

    you know, sometimes inspite of our best efforts shit just goes very very wrong. we are not masters of the universe. to suggest global warming is to blame for the bush fires is media whoring at it's worse, and totally disrespecting those who died and their families just to push their own agenda.

  18. wii fails hard on Nintendo Reveals New Wii Controller · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    it's really only good for a laugh while drunk, and that novelty only lasts 3 times max.it needs more than a few gimmicy games before it's to be taken seriously.

  19. Re:What do environmentalists think of the Wii? on Nintendo Reveals New Wii Controller · · Score: 1
    what exactly is wrong with plastic? it's weight to strength ratio is higher than metal or wood, it's non toxic and stable in landfill. there are even plant based plastics now which while not being as good as petroleum, are getting better all the time.

    frankly i defy you to come up with some kind of rationale to backup your rabid anti plastic hate.

  20. Re:VB6 on Microsoft Phasing Out ESP Simulation Platform? · · Score: -1, Redundant
    there are still platforms being maintained built on foxpro. VB6 was around for 6 years+

    as far as legacy platform support goes MS is better than anyone. this whole story is premature, they haven't annouced anything.

  22. Re:Write your own, seriously. on Best FOSS Help Desk Software For Small Firms? · · Score: 1

    omg no. if there was ever anything that was done to death and was very generic, it's helpdesk ticket systems.

    if you try 4 or 5 of them in a test environment and you still find you are trying to bend it into odd shapes, it's a good indictation You Are Doing It Wrong.

    writing your own generic solutions belongs on the daily wtf.
