  1. Open your eyes? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Choose Frameworks That Will Survive? · · Score: 1

    Look at the frameworks that have already been around for a while, thats the first place to start.

    Don't chase bleeding edge technology unless you want to continue chasing it and replacing old frameworks that were shitty from the start but you were too busy chasing the bleeding edge to notice.

  2. Re:i wonder.. on First Experimental Evidence That Time Is an Emergent Quantum Phenomenon · · Score: 1, Informative

    Uhm, the speed of light isn't at all constant, no more than the speed of sound is. The speed of light changes depending on the medium it is in, just like everything else.

    how can this be, slashdotters?

    Because you utterly fail to understand what you're talking about. This behavior is also no different than sound. They behave identically.

    If you turn on the flashlight while traveling at 0.5C the light would travel away from you at 1C anyway, making a difference of 0.5c and causing all sorts of blue shift. You (as are most people with a poor grasp of these physics because of some shitty analogy someone used to explain it to them) are making the common mistake that the person with the flashlight in hand would think the light is traveling at 1c away from him (total of 1.5c) but they wouldn't see any such thing.

    And then there is time dilation, which makes it all work out.

    Then get an ISP and stop leeching off bandwidth provided by the school at a reduced rate so you can ... LEARN.

    Oh, tepples ... didn't realize I was replying to someone as equally retarded as bennett.

    School bandwidth isn't for your porn or socializing, its for education. If you want to browse porn, pay for a normal ISP and shut the fuck up. My tax dollars aren't there to subsidize your partying. Grow up.

    Can you please quit posting this morons thoughts like he is someone who matters? Is he one of the DICE flunkies or something? No one gives a shit about his ignorance. Just because he created a couple websites doesn't mean he has a clue or is authoritative on any subject, including the ones he's created the websites for.

    Yes, I know who he is.

    Yes, he's a fucking idiot. Stop posting his ridiculous diatribes.

  5. Re:Illegal != Undocumented on What Employee Lock-In Means At Facebook · · Score: 1

    If I were to lose certain important documents, I would be undocumented and I'm a US citizen.

    No you wouldn't. You just wouldn't have a copy of your documentation. The government still does, it has several documents in multiple places that show your origin. Your status is trivial to verify to the government even if you can't 'show your papers'.

    Undocumented is just a bullshit way of trying to make them out to be something they are not.

  6. Re:Young stupid people on What Employee Lock-In Means At Facebook · · Score: 1

    You're seriously arguing that sleeping is some how less wasteful than working for some one?

    Heres a hint, it is entirely possible to work for an employer AND have a balanced life outside of work. Young people know this themselves as well, tell me this ... WTF were you doing at a demo party hacking away if you didn't find it entertaining and meaningful at the time?

    Did you go to demo partys against your will and end up getting turned into Future Crew's bitch as they forced you to write code?

    I just don't get what you're saying, its like you woke up and realized you no longer liked what you were doing as a kid, had a revaluation about it and somehow think you've figured out something no one else has figured out.

    Let me give you a hint, what happened to you ...is you grew up. Nothing more.

  7. Re:Illegal, Not Undocumented. on What Employee Lock-In Means At Facebook · · Score: 1

    When you're calling someone 'undocumented' you already know they are illegal, otherwise you'd use different phrasing. In order to call someone undocumented you have to confirm they don't have any documentation, making them illegal.

    This isn't complicated, just stop trying to manipulate the situation to something other than what it is.

    Scripting the deployment with the tools you mention is all well and good, but the installation part of being an admin is the easiest part.

    I'd say you've never done it since you seem to not understand how much testing you need to be doing if your rolling out on that scale.

  16. Re:Sticks and stones on Facebook Comment Prompts Arrests In Cyberbullying Suicide Case · · Score: 1

    It's an old saying used to make pretend that bullying isn't a real thing and that the victim has the power to stop things.

    Uhm, no. Its a saying thats supposed to get a point across, but apparently you utterly failed to grasp it.

    The point is that ... THEY ARE JUST WORDS. Any 'pain' you feel is self induced and CAN be turned off with a simple change in thought patterns. That change is what the saying is meant to do.

    Kids die from lots of things, but this one killed herself. Her bullies didn't put a gun to her head and pull the trigger. They didn't cut her wrists. As far as anything shows, they were just teenage girls being teenage girls, except in this case, they picked on a girl who had bigger issues and couldn't deal with it.

    If it wasn't the bullying at school, it would have been the professor in collage that sent her over the edge, or her first job or something else. If school bullying causes you to commit suicide, you weren't long for this world anyway. She took HER OWN life, you can't blame anyone else for that.

    I wouldn't pay $250 myself, but having worn a pair that cost about that much, I can see why people do. With noise canceling and a really comfortable fit, I can see the value to some people, even if not myself.

    1 in 5 must not include the same US as the one I live in.

  25. Re:Are linux users willing to pay money? on Battlefield Director: Linux Only Needs One 'Killer' Game To Explode · · Score: 1

    All that shows is that Linux users who are finding and buying games they can play are trying to send a signal that they will pay.

    The problem is, its still not really profitable to if they pay 10x as much as everyone else when there is only 0.001% of the potential game buyers buying the games for Linux.

    Second, a few Linux gamers sending a signal is not representative of the market in general.

    The actual numbers that matters to business is what the total profit was. Windows users can pay a nickel, Linux users can pay $1000 per game ... Windows will STILL be the target of developers due to shear volume.

    Theres a fuckton more to running a business than finding a few users that pay more than others.

    Linux is not OSX, you can't charge a premium for it.
