    tagged as hariseldon, psychohistory. finally!

  2. Re:"many developers are so intrigued" on Google Go Capturing Developer Interest · · Score: 1

    There's a reason why Java is the most popular platform and language for huge, cross platform enterprise software. And it does involve portability.

    does it also involve buzzword loving astroturfers that use 'lol' in their arguments?

  3. Re:Open Source on The Final Release of Apache HTTP Server 1.3 · · Score: 1

    Whilst Apache 1.3 may very well fit the second definition, it certainly doesn't fit the first. It it still useful for a great many people, particularly those who serve static content for a single domain. They have no use for virtual directories and multiple domain hosting

    I've been using vhosts and multiple domain hosting on 1.3 for the past 10 years or so.

  4. Re:Do any of them assess performance? on Eight PHP IDEs Compared · · Score: 1

    Most of these IDEs integrate with some sort of debugger AFAIK. I have tried them all but none can beat the simplicity of EditPlus (on Windows at least).

    I'd just like to chime in and say that both the submitter and the editor (hi taco!) are fucking retarded. fuck karma.

  7. Re:That Analogy Falls Apart on Sending Astronauts On a One-Way Trip To Mars · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Aerobraking on return to Earth would expose them to 10G of acceleration and that could even be immediately fatal.

    by the time they get back they surely could take the space elevator down, right? right.

  8. Re:About time on EVE Bans Exploiters; Dropping 2% of Users Cuts Average CPU Usage 30% · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I don't play the game, but these guys just forfeited 2% of their profits. And you're saying "about time"?

    they mostly did it for the greater space good, but if you wanna be a jew about it I'm sure GTC/PLEX sales will offset that lost revenue (not profit) pretty soon. the farmers were not only raping server resources, but were also competitors.

    Battletoads.

  11. Re:And Valve is no where? on The Best Game Engines · · Score: 1

    The Source engine typically produces scenes which more closely resemble the real world. Which is its primary problem. People are playing games to escape the real world.

    I thought people play games to have fun. you make it sound like everyone lives in a fucking turkish prison.

    also, TFA and the thread are discussing engine features not visual styles. you not liking Valve's art deparment doesn't make the source engine a bad engine. and speaking of artsy fartsy, HL2/Portal/TF2/L4D look very good esthetically speaking. visual style, props, settings are all top notch.

    Unless Valve take steps to add such capabilities to the engine and, more importantly, develop a game that demonstrates those capabilities, the Source engine is going to be left behind over the next 3 years.

    I really don't see how adding neon lights (to sum up your post) would make their engine/games any better.

    but in-house tech genious to tech genious, I wonder what kinds of conversations they are looking forward to with Carmack.

    I imagine Carmack would laugh at them for using third party engines while flexing his awesome nerd muscles.

  15. Re:Well there's your problem! on iPhone Vulnerability Yields Root Access Via SMS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Apple bashers seemingly have one thing in common: they are inordinately smug c*** suckers

    I thought that's the one thing that Apple fanbois had in common... now I'm confused.

  16. Re:Well there's your problem! on iPhone Vulnerability Yields Root Access Via SMS · · Score: 1

    Text messaging is actually just one service of the SMS bearer, and it can also used for sending binary content like configuration messages.

    this is correct, I've had the (mis)fortune of working with OTA provisioning in the past, and you can do some pretty crazy things to people's handsets. and because of the hugely incompatible standards and models out there not all will require the user's confirmation.

  17. Re:Ouch! on iPhone Vulnerability Yields Root Access Via SMS · · Score: 1

    Before the iPhone came about putting apps onto a phone was annoying and awkward for the average user. You had to download the .sis (On symbian OS) then put it on a memory card, then finally install it.

    all the apps on my Nokia have been installed by "clicking" on links from the browser. I never had to do any of the crazy shit you're talking about. it even has a thingy that lets me browse various categories of applications and install them with one click (kind of... like... an appstore... HOLY SHIT!). I never even have to plug the damn thing to transfer stuff because of bluetooth.

    I pointed him to "System.arraycopy" which is quite a bit faster and does the same thing on a single line of code. This just isn't something you'd find out about unless (a) you read a book or (b) had a coworker who read a book. (Well, I guess if you read all the online javadoc line-by-line, you'd discover this, too...)

    here's a hint for your fellow janitor: before doing something stupid, google it. what's he gonna do next? copy a string byte by byte? shit, even Java programmers should know these basic things.
