  1. maybe it worked better than they thought on Spyware Coming Under Scrutiny · · Score: 0

    maybe it worked better than they thought by convincing them that it didn't work.

  2. Re:SunnComm == ZomboCom ? on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 0

    I went to Sunncom.com on accident. Click their Conditions of Use, it's a riot:

    Oh, I see that their 'Contact Us' and 'About Us' pages are that way too. It reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where the world was just a big movie set that was built 'just in time' for us to see it, unless, like the protagonist we arrive ahead of schedule.

    Conditions of Use

    Put here your Conditions of Use information.

    The line above is from the language file definition. This section of text is from the Define section located under Catalog in the Admin.

    You can use one or the other seperately for this page or, you can use both together.

    To remove the language file definition, do not delete the define statement, set it to be blank. Example: define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '');

    To remove this section of the text, delete it from the Define section located under Catalog in the Admin.

  3. Counterfeiters sieze your golden hour on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 0

    Now is the perfect time for counterfeiters to capitalize on the fact that 1) many people have heard that a new currency is coming, but 2) few people have actually seen or felt it. Make whatever hell kind design you want; you don't have to copy anything. Just try and spend it, and the clerks will think "oh cool, this must be one of those new bills" Make it a $10 or $5 because you'll clash with the new $20s soon.

  4. Extreme Programming XP on Extreme Programming Refactored · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think Extreme Programming XP made some significant improvements over Extreme Programming 2002, but it will be better when the .NET framework comes in the box in Extreme Programming 2003

  5. Re:Uh-oh on Extreme Programming Refactored · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "Iraq: the case against WMD"

  6. Re:Google Science on Benjamin Franklin, Civic Scientist · · Score: 1

    If that is the first modern example in your mind, then do a google search for "Tim Berners-Lee"

  7. not slashdot worthy on Software Fashion · · Score: 1

    What does this guy know about fashion anyway, look at his haircut: http://www.softwarereality.com/MattStephens.jsp Seriously though, this article is less about technologies becoming fashion dinosaurs as about the author's network of incompetent associates (sorry Robin) who too often use the wrong tool for the wrong damn job, which has less to do with software trends and more to do with ignorance. I've seen people in the workplace use excel as a word processor--yes, they were writing business letters in Excel. Is that because Excel was over-hyped? I don't think so. In claiming that VB.NET is no more than syntatic sugar over C# the author is merely advertising his lack of deep knowledge about either of these to technologies. Don't sell VB.NET short, I know both languages and am more productive is VB.NET for SOME types of applications (such as databases apps) but prefer C# for other types. Plus you can add the curly brackets to VB.NET, but you can't take them away from C#: Sub Main() '{ msgbox ("Hello World!") '} End Sub
