  1. A better way to save yourself from RSI on Ergonomic Software Eliminates Mouse Clicking · · Score: 1

    play foosball.

  2. been doing that for years already on Why Is "Design by Contract" Not More Popular? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    assert(condition) is your friend. It's not called a contract, it's not design (but a very good practice!) and it does the job well.

  3. Re:Enough, already. on GDC: LucasArts and The Force Unleashed · · Score: 1

    Do we really need more Star Wars movies and videogames? Yessir!
  4. Re:What does it look like? on The Blackest Material · · Score: 1

    Nothing to see here and I mean it.

  5. Re:is storage that big of an issue anymore? on MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain · · Score: 2

    google rockbox.

  6. Re:There's a worry here on MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are linux distros about to get hit with a torrent of C&D letters? Nah, nobody will seed.
  7. Almost accurate. on Sort Linked Lists 10X Faster Than MergeSort · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This isn't sorting linked lists, it's sorting linked list of NUMBERS (or, more specifically, N-bit strings.) Doing that fast is hardly rocket science, and this bitfast is nothing new... That's basically radixsort with radix = 2^16.

  8. Re:Question for the AMD fans/afficianados on AMD Athlon 64 6000+ Launched And Tested · · Score: 1

    Yeah, 45nm will be cool, but you aren't seeing such dies anytime soon. If you meant 65nm... guess we'll have to wait 6 months or so till the first Barcelona.

  9. Further research areas on Regrowing Lost Body Parts Getting Closer All the Time · · Score: 2, Funny

    Further research, as pointed by scientists, should include regrowing brains in politicians. There are doubts, however, whether this is at all possible, as some researchers say indicated subjects don't have any brain to start with.

  10. PHP 5 in practice on PHP 5 in Practice · · Score: 0, Troll

    sucks.

  11. Re:Games are not designed to be watched on Is Gaming Really a Spectator Sport? · · Score: 1

    1. sport is not designed to be watched, either. well, 'classic' sport, at least.
    2. see supreme commander and its zoom capability.

    I agree on other points, though. Complex rules don't help potential spectators.

  12. obligatory wargames quote on Indonesia Stops Sharing Avian Virus Samples · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The only way to win is not to play.

  13. Principal Investigator: Guy L. Steele, Jr. on Sun Releases Fortran Replacement as OSS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    With this guy as project lead, you can't fail in this domain.

  14. Re:Performance, anyone? on Lisp and Ruby · · Score: 1

    Not strange at all, as Python beats the crap out of php.

    Or are you just trolling?

  15. Re:Duke Nukem vs. Windows Vista for MIA Award... on Wired News 2006 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    Tens of thousands of people use betas of Vista daily, so that doesn't count - same as gmail.

  16. Re:GT series is a driving simulator on Gran Turismo HD for PS3 Impressions · · Score: 1

    Looks like you've never tried LFS or rFactor.

  17. Re:At least for now we filter... on How Do You Handle New MS Word Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    You could at least read the post...

  18. ID cards are common... on Homeland Security Director Defends Real ID · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...over here in EU. I'm not sure if they help with anything but the simplest things, but they don't hurt nearly as much (if at all) as most of you paranoid people think they will.

  19. Basic laws of physics, eh? on Hydrogen Won't Save Our Economy · · Score: 0

    Basic laws of physics also say that energy can't be created, it can only be converted. Therefore, sooner or later, hydrogen as a carrier will be quite feasible, due to depletion of gas/coal/oil deposits.

  20. I live in EU on So What If Linux Infringes On Microsoft IP? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    so I don't care.

    For now, at least.

  21. Re:To Be Blunt on Slate Pans the Wii, Slate Loves the Wii · · Score: 1

    Only a nipple doesn't have a learning curve.

  22. Re:Changing a system on ICANN Under Pressure Over Non-Latin Characters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except that it doesn't. Being allowed to use 37 characters as a domain name is not what many people consider "working".

  23. Re:What key switching tech does it use? on Optimus OLED Keyboard Pre-Orders Start Dec. 12 · · Score: 4, Funny

    HERETIC!

  24. Re:ballpark on What Math Courses Should We Teach CS Students? · · Score: 1

    Add discrete mathematics (especially graph theory) to that list. I'm quite surprised you didn't mention it in the first place, and even more surprised that you mentioned calculus of 2 variables instead. That's a whole lot less useful than being able to think about problems in graph terms.

  25. Re:My prediction on CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge · · Score: 1

    3-4 months is just what I needed to stop playing that stupid game where only your character gains skills, not you.
