    I still suck horribly at it, but I now have the hope that with steady practice I will improve.

    Nothing like Ice cream or Burgers,
    They may be different but,
    you can still file them under an entertainment category.

  6. Re:The most important sentence in the article: on Why Movies Are Not Exactly Like Music · · Score: 1

    Really, if anyone should be working on a system to enable on-demand viewing of their intellectual property it should be the movie industry.

    Agreed, If they would have invest a bit of their returns about 15years ago they might have already had a content delivery system that everyone would use. Instead they either paid back investors, spend money to put new movies, or had nice parties. Why is it so hard for companies to understand that a R&D can be a major benefit even if you only put a little funding into it. When they Did put money into such products they ended up doing something stupid like CCS which is breakable in a heart beat instead of a Delivery System. They can't blame people for their failed business model.

  7. Gaming, on Why Movies Are Not Exactly Like Music · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do they get into the fact the people are wasting there time and entertainment budgets on gaming?
    Can't go see a movie when you are busy playing CoD:MW2 or Tekken 6 or etc.
    Also at 60$ a Crack you might be hurting for expendable cash.

  8. Re:Of course it is. on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    It only more linux distros were so sleek and well put together like FreeBSD.
    On another note, If Netcraft is running FreeBSD does that mean they are dying?

  9. Re:The Culture needs a slight change. on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    It's a job of a good technical writer.

    I would be willing to bet, albeit this is speculation.
    Many projects don't have one.
    perhaps programmers should request one when they start a job if they don't have one.

    Of course, for that, you need a design spec to begin with...

    I am also guessing that is also something that probably doesn't happen.
    that or the spec is so weak it is open for huge interpretations.

    True, only way to win is not to play.

  11. The Culture needs a slight change. on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    Is it really as bad as these blogs paint it?

    Sometimes I can be, I have seen some bad documentation even on Windows apps.
    It really is the whole programming culture that needs to have a mindset change.
    They need to care about Documentation more so other people can pickup where they left off
    It also saves programmers the time of having to answer needless questions.

    Has it come down to using Google before a man page?

    If you deal with obscure software, yes.
    I know I had to use google quite a bit the first time I was building lapack and cblas.

    Anyone who wants to give power to the state - like Obama, just about every Democrat, and way too many Republicans - has to TAKE it from WE THE PEOPLE. Want to lower health care costs and expand benefits? Take away the PEOPLE'S FREEDOM TO MAKE THEIR OWN HEALTH CARE CHOICES. Want to pay for giant social programs and/or wars? Take away the PEOPLE'S WEALTH.

    Need to be modded up for truth.

    Honestly, how can you even consider associating this with G.W. Bush? Have you been under a rock for an entire year now? Or was it just so much a habit of always saying "Bush" when you disagreed with something and actually meant Obama?
