  2. Re:Could SCO have a chance after all? on The SCO Trial Through A New Lens · · Score: 1

    Is there a legal or constitutional reason that a judge can't just go, "okay, you've wasted enough of the court's time, either produce something now or I'm dismissing this case and hencheforth further blocking you from ever filing a baseless lawsuit like this ever again"? I'm certain the relevant legal system actors (lawyers judges etc whatever) are just as sick of this frivolous lawsuit going on as anyone else is.

    W. Buffett, Peter Lynch, they'll tell you that the best thing to do about analysts is to ignore their predictions.

    On the flipside, why should I take financial advice from a parrothead and an eccentric film director?

    Don't worry -- considering this is an emerging, newly-maturing, innovative field of science, there is no doubt going to be an army of political bureaucrats and fear-vote panderers who will use heavy-handed government intervention to regulate it into something completely useless and needlessly expensive before it can hit the market.

    Apr 26 - today I can't listen to Dashboard Confessional because Teena dumped me for Brad and their songs always make me think about her. Maybe this upcoming Radiohead album will raise my spirits. I doubt it. Dad's been totally ragging on me for leaving my helmet lying around the house, but he's like, not my real dad, so I don't have to listen to him. *huhhhh*. *huhhhh*. Yea its like that asshole security guard at the mall telling me what to do, its like, if I want to hang out at the Orange Julius, it's my Constitutional right to hang out at Orange Juliuses, and I'll get the ACLU to arrest him for discriminating against me. *huhhhh*. *huhhhh*.

  14. Re:Is Open Source "Cool" At Last? on NASA Goes SourceForge · · Score: 1

    My thinking is that considering our taxes are paying for the development of this software anyway... you may as well expose the code to wider public scrutiny, for both the purposes of scientific peer-review as well as, inductively speaking, financial accountability to taxpayers to ensure their money isn't being spent on flimsy, crash-prone software.

  16. Good code on Comments are More Important than Code · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Good code is code that's modularized into so many properly-named, small functions, that it looks like the pseudocode originally used to describe the algorithm in the first place.

    Still, if you're implementing some arcane algorithm that isn't documented very well in academia, let alone taught in most universities, and is full of obscure mathematica that even mathematics doctorates will have to squint at, then be a dear and just comment the fucking code to help make it easier for your colleagues to comprehend. If you can implement something so fancy and grandiose that it can have its own patent, certainly you can spend 5 minutes to clarify the principles behind it in documentation as well as sources. It isn't hard.

  19. Here's a better solution to stopping accidents on Traffic Studied Using Computer-Linked Cars · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Stopping traffic accidents in 3 easy steps:

    1) Don't run red lights or stop signs.
    2) Stay within +-5 miles per hour of the designated speed limit, and don't tailgate someone for going said speed limit.
    3) Use your fucking turn signal when you change lanes or make turns, and don't cut people off.

    There, I have solved this decades-old problem in only one minute without spending thousands of dollars on technology that asshole-drivers won't use anyway. Then again, asshole-drivers won't really listen to this advice either.
