  1. Re:It's easy on Keeping Programming Fun? · · Score: 1

    Since when was cable tv a "better" thing to do, anyway? :)

    I have cable tv, but I rarely watch it. Maybe 1-2 hours a week. And that is usually for some movie.

  2. for different operating systems... on Interview with SubEthaEdit Developer · · Score: 5, Informative
    From the FAQ:

    Any chance of a *nix or Windows version?
    We love developing macintosh applications with Cocoa and are determined to improve SubEthaEdit on that platform. We currently have neither resources nor experience to port our products to other platforms.

    While I use a mac, most of my development is using unix editors like emacs or vim. As a unix developer you do not have to wait for these guys to port to *nix. You already have this functionality!
    Just install screen. First user starts screen with an editor inside. Make a new screen console and change the permission of the personal screen socket. Let other users log in and hook into your screen using
    screen -x
    Done! Oh, for chat, use irc :) Or communicate via comments like real geeks do!
  3. just adapt... on Improving Terrible Handwriting? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My handwriting is pretty horrible too. Since I finished university recently and started working, my handwriting has gone progressively worse. But I don't have to worry about it because the reasons my handwriting has got so bad, namely the use of technology, is also helping me to avoid writing! Why write? Apart from some rare instances, there is hardly ever a need to use a pen or a pencil. At least this is true for me.

    The tablet has the writing interface for those paper dependent people who have a tough time dealing with a keyboard. It doesn't sound like something that is right for you. (I assume that your handwriting is bad because of the overuse of keyboards.)

    Basically what I want to say is that maybe the reason us geeks have such bad handwriting is because the technology has shown us new and better methods of writing. It can be seen as evolution towards a better form of written communication (and this one has a backspace key!). So instead of worrying about something that you are automatically rejecting (the handwriting), embrace the typing and work on improving upon the new methods of written communication.

  4. non-natural?! on Microbes Produce Precursor To Missile Propellent · · Score: 1
    ...have created strains of bacteria which can convert certain types of sugars into a non-natural synthetic material, called butanetriol, which is...

    There is something in that sentence that bothers me. Can you guess? Thats right. That butanetriol is non-natural!

    If sugars are natural and bacteria are natural, how can their interaction produce something non-natural? Why have scientists come along and declared this very natural process a unnatural?

  5. not for the fans on Fight Club Game Perplexes, Amuses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't think this game is going to be appreciated by the fans of the movie (me being one of them). Contrary to what the title may suggest, this movie is not about fighting. I cannot say that it is about non-violence, but I _can_ say what it is about.

    The movie is about the human mind and the state of our society. It presents some pretty valid points about the state of the capitilistic culture we live in. And it pretty much leaves the questions about the human mind up to the viewer (or reader). Bottom line, the fans of the movie do not like this movie for the brutal fight scenes. At least I hope none do.

    So, I only see this game spreading the wrong message about the movie.

  6. security on What is the Best Remote Filesystem? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since the office buildings are distant, chances are that there is untrusted connection between them. Don't forget to send data through secure tunnels (eg: ssh tunnel).
