  3. Re:Output, not potential on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    church women are too conservative to be good in bed :)

    It is problably just be another foundless stereotype, but I've heard Catholic women like to repent.

  4. Re:Output, not potential on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a programmer with the worst of relationship evaluation skills, I can tell you that could be a soft heart rather than a hard dick that is to blame. Other than that, you are right on.

  5. Re:Just call it E. on Latest Proposals for C++0x · · Score: 1

    Given that c was based on the language e, this would be a strange regression

  7. Re:So much... on .Net:... 3 Years Later · · Score: 1

    That said, Windows will still be the platform they introduce new stuff to first.

    Of course they could release for both platforms at the same time once .NET is released for *NIX.

    Quick poll, How will M$ favor microsoft:
    License Restriction: O
    OS Detect&Die Routine: O
    WIN32 API Calls: O

  8. Re:WTF? on SCO Might Sue Linus for Patent Infringement? · · Score: 1

    Except that they are not SCO's patents. Novell has stated ( in the previous slashdot article on this mess ) that SCO mearly has a license to this IP. I haven't checked out the UPTO or the subsequent contracts between SCO and Novell, but SCO's repsonse that the suit was for breach of contract does leads me to believe that this is correct. Perhaps, when I am sober enough, I will verify all this.

  12. M of N gates on Semiconductor Technologies Guide · · Score: 1

    My knowledge in this field could probably fit in one of these new transitor channels, but I was wondering:

    Could the Tri-Gate transitor be a major boon to producing M of N gates with hysterisis? The asynchonous logic proponents would love this. I'm thinking you would might need more layers of interconnects.

    Anybody ideas?

  13. Re:good thing on TopCoder, Math, and Game Programming · · Score: 1

    It is much more fun when there are multiple specs each of which affect benefits different upper managers' metrics. Then you get to play process and business analyst while trying to figure out which of the managers is most likely to succeed in getting you canned

    And if such aperatures don't exists, just put a serious boost on the signal and they will magically appear. Just make sure you don't do it in the dry season

  17. Re:Don't wait around for the USA Today chat on White Hat Hacker Breaks Silence · · Score: 1

    1) sorry, I forgot to enclose that in a tag

    2) either "how much cash do you have on hand" or "somebody please post a 1) promote professional = trustworthy 2) profit"; I just can't decide which best suits my warped sense of humor

    3) I agree with this one. I can just picture the IT guys rolling their eyes and bitching about the job market.

    We even logged on to the system as the president and we wrote an email in his name. The screen shot of that email was one of the prominent pieces in our presentation to the executive board.

    It seems social engineering is the most effective tool for hackers. Who's up for a gratuitous round of forging mail headers?
    I may be wrong about his abilities though ... he may have just used photoshop to alter the screen shot.

  19. Re:the primary equation on The First Steps Towards Asimov's Psychohistory? · · Score: 1

    Of course the numerator should have been -1; the article just had me in a fit of silliness at the time.
    And what do I can call that moment when things get undefined and after which things are positive? "proclaimation of divorce"

  20. the primary equation on The First Steps Towards Asimov's Psychohistory? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I actually worked out the primary equation years ago:
    happiness = 1 / ( 7 - years of marriage )

    Thankfully I only have six more months before the whole equation is undefined

    wow, I just notice that putting whitespace around operators is now automatic.

  21. Re:and maybe... on Dial-A-Cam · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the newest products, but the (relatively) older ones were pretty tough. My 3360 has taken 3 toilet dives, 5 caroms of a coworkers forehead, and uncountable graceless drops onto the pavement. It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. ^^^ yeah, I know, but none of the Nokia slogans fit.

    I'd like to set one of these up at the local Best Buy just to find out who would actually buy one of these. Um ... I think I'll mail order mine.

  23. Re:Laws of Robotics? on Cryptographers Find Fault With Palladium · · Score: 1

    I have to argue with you on the first law. You made the common misquotation and left out the word "knowingly". While I'm sure m$ is trying to do harm, I doubt that their products will ever be sophisticated enough to know what they are doing.
