  1. Uncessary Complexity on Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition · · Score: 1

    Why would a browser need to be a feature monster? Its becoming like the cellphones, too much unnecessary bloat. At least I hope there is an easy way to turn the *features* off. -- Hates the new address bar in firefox 3.

  2. Re:Codesurfer vs "Source Insight" ? on Tools For Understanding Code? · · Score: 1

    I am not familiar with Source Insight, but CodeSurfer does have call-graph support. http://www.grammatech.com/products/codesurfer/screenshots.html . It also features a query analysis engine that allows you to run interesting queries on the data/control flow of the program. Plus the program slicing engine is useful for understanding how the program operates. The best thing would be try the trial editions for both products and see which works best :)

  3. Codesurfer on Tools For Understanding Code? · · Score: 1

    You could have a look at CodeSurfer http://www.grammatech.com/products/codesurfer/overview.html/ which is a program slicing tool for c/c++. I found it extremely useful for analyzing programs. To make full use of it, I would recommend reading the manual in its entirety :)

  4. Open Source MMORPG on Last Chance to Help Free Ryzom · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall there being quite a few open source MMORPG already present. Wouldn't it make sense to use/work on the them rather than trying to opensource an existing game?

  5. Re:Arguing with a creationist on The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And don't you think that the same can be said the other way around as well? The point is that humans are opinionated creatures. Anyone telling someone 'You beliefs are wrong' is going to be met with a cold stare. Even the scientific community is no exception. Tell someone 'Einstein was wrong' and you would probably get beaten badly even before you say a word about evidence. This is how things are. It takes a lot of courage to accept something contrary to you belief. Think about it.

  6. sad but inevitable on Lycos Sold To South Korean Company · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lycos was a good portal before. Over the years the service has gone pretty bad. Sad to see them go but it had to happen. I am just wondering if the personal websites will be taken off? I have one. I really don't want to back it up :( On other hand, the article doesn't say anything about lycos.co.uk and related sites. Will this affect them as well?

  7. Good simulation on Asteroid Impact Simulator Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good simulation, but I think the impact would depend upon which part of the planet the meteor/asteroid strikes as the geographic composition would affect that.

  8. Hooray on Sun Agrees to Talk to IBM over Open Sourcing Java · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    At last I can create "Blue Java" Goodbye cruel case sensitivity :D

    Anyone else think this senario might happen..?

  9. Kazaa Lite on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why is that people are always hesitant in adopting new technology? We seem to be growing more lethargic with technology each day. The only use we do is misuse. Maybe we need a visit from aliens like in star trek...

  10. DHTML and javascript on JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook · · Score: 5, Insightful

    DHTML and javascript make an excellent combination for displaying animated content.. but the question of browser incompatibilty still remains... What we need is a book for making browsers compatible first then have lots of books on the ways to use them... seems logical to me anyway :-)

  11. Re:"humanoid"? on Japanese Robot on Diplomatic Tour · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Its just enough to multiply faster than rabbits and destroy your environment..Its easy beeing humanid.. Guess robots don't count huh?

  12. Re:What about #3? on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 1

    Nicely put. With humans now it is space or bust. We suyre aren't going to survive long on this planet. I have a feeling that 30% of our planet has already been destroyed, the remaining won't last long. But there is always opposition to space travel. Maybe it's something in our genes?

  13. Re:Developing GUIs in Linux on Running a Research Lab on Free Software? · · Score: 1

    People would have you believe that to develop GUI applications in Linux, Qt is the way to go. But what they don't mention is that the Qt library is unstable and has no support (for the non-commercial version). So if you have any problems like I did you have to fix it by hook or crook. Better to switch over to GTK.
