  1. Re:Language Independent! on 6 Languages You Wish the Boss Let You Use · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sure a good programmer will learn any programming language very fast. The thing that takes time to learn is the compiler, and the standard libraries available with that language and compiler. A good programmer knows his compiler inside out, that you can not necessarily pick up in a fortnight.

  2. Re:wimps on Easy, Reliable Distributed Storage and Backup? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think this is the quote you where looking for:

    "Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it." -Linus Torvalds

  3. Re:Keep a closed-source version on Earning Money with Open Source Software? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This just causes one problem. What if another developer chooses to improve the open-source version, then you can not use that improvement in your closed-source version as the developer has the copyright over the improvement code.
    And what if it was a bug-fix and not an improvement, would you then have to keep the bug in the closed-source version?

  4. FTFA acronym on Storage System for Thousands of CDs and DVDs? · · Score: 1

    Aren't there a slashdot FAQ somewhere?

    FTFA = (From The Fucking/Fine Article)

  5. Asimov quote on The Power of Accidental Discoveries · · Score: 5, Informative

    A quote from Asimov on the subject:

    "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not Eureka! (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'"

    Is that what you where remembering?

  7. Re:I don't know about that... on How to Do What You Love · · Score: 1

    That used to be my words too, but I learned, that if you really try, you can keep that passion, even when it becomes your job.

    It requires some failures, (two in my case.) But after some time you'll learn that love is something _you_ create, not something that comes out of the thin air. Don't expect it to be boring to work with, if you do, it for sure will be.

  12. Re:Somewhat Lacking? on Free Beer That's Free as in Speech · · Score: 1

    The english recipe is (almost) a direct translation of the danish one. So no more specefic information is avalible on the danish one. You could of cause mail the Rasmus Nielsen asking him the details.

  13. Re:Am I the only one who thought of... on World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually, when I viewed the front page, this story was duped. Two completely identical stories, one only viewable for subscribers. After a refresh, it was gone.

    I wonder if it was a glitch in the database, a humorous admin, or just the usual dupe getting caught.

  14. Re:Critical Thinking Skills on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    It was created for the express purpose of turning out obedient little cogs to fit into the Industrial machine. They don't teach critical thinking because they understand as well as you probably do that a People who can think will be a Free People and this is the last thing they want.

    They? Who are they? Don't you mean we. We create the society (including public schools,) as we want it to be. The purpose it was created for is one thing, the purpose we make it for, is another thing.

    Saying that: "public education will never address the problem." Will never solve the problem. It's a way of thinking too many critical thinking people are falling for.

    I say, let us discuss, and evaluate it. Let us do something about it, and change the way public schools are doing things, for the better.

  15. Re:Human Load Balancing on Star Destroyer Built Before Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    It should be available again now. Apparently it got listed as a mirror on TFA, which my server wasn't quite ready for.

  16. Human Load Balancing on Star Destroyer Built Before Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    If you're going to to download this file:

    Pick a number between 1 and 3 (inclusive). Hold it in your mind, you got one? Good. Substitute x in the following expression with you number:

    1+x=2*x

    If the expression is true, download the file from this mirror, if it's false, pick another mirror.

    ...most of the time. So why not just use your cell phone. I do.

    I tried the different calendar software, and syncing with my cell. Some worked somewhat, some didn't. But all was somewhat a mess, so why not just drop the computer.

    Me too. I brought http://microsoft.com a long time ago, and was wondering when I would be able to use it for some fun with other than pre-idnfix-firefox users. Any suggestions on what to put up?
