  1. Re:.NET programming on Building Intelligent .NET Applications · · Score: 0

    .NET seems to have finally matured to a quite usable framework of technologies. In begining it was like anything Microsoft puts out, buggy, badly documented and so on, but now it seems that the associated technologies and tools actually help programmers.

  2. Re:Who The Hell Use .NET These Days? on Building Intelligent .NET Applications · · Score: 4, Informative

    You would then apparently be surprised at the ammount of development going on with C#

  3. Re:Pole Reversal? on North Pole Heads South · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Well the shift around the globe to Siberia is something that has apparently happened before.. the magnetic pole has never been stationary, but what is news in the article is the fact that the mevement speed seems to be accelerating.

  4. Re:Not the FIRST time... on Hard Drive Window · · Score: 1

    And really... used to open drives to unjam writeheads and such.. so nothing really strange about that, but drives are really getting more and more finicky, thus the part about the drive being old.. new drives wold have a WAY low probability of success.

  5. Or not wanting spam and such on Many Domains Registered With False Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It does not allways have to be with criminal intent.. can also be simply not wanting the assocaiated spam.

  6. Duping bugs in general on World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found · · Score: 1

    Many online games have sufferent from duping bugs at times but most of those have been quietly fixed, seems the fix on this one was simply too slow.. or they totally dropped the ball and did not have logging for such. If the system was prperly set up, they should be able to track the thing from logs and remove/undo any such actions.

  7. Re:Stop blaming companies on The Great Firewall of China, Continued · · Score: 1

    Very simple: They want to be treated as peopel, treat them as people, they misbehave, they go to jail-> stop activities for that period.

    Well.. yes.. it seems that only in Frnace do they have democracy with theit 35 hour work weeks.. rest of of the world seems to be sliding to corpocracy.

  9. Re:Don't Forget The Cool Factor on Graphics in Science · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Well.. complex data has to be broken down for a human to understand it.

    But still.. a human eye is an extremly good tool for spotting things.. a computer can only look for the specific things you tell it to look sofr whereas an eye and a mind of someone knowledgable, will often sense something in a way that no computer can.

    In most cases representing something gpahically makes that easier to grasp.

  10. Re:From TFA ... on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree.. but onfortunately mot of the main stream media is owned by those said large corporations, thus they like to use the things you mention (GDP et all)

  11. Re:Mandatory overtime on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 1

    well this requires a employer that looks at actual results, unfortunately many companies forget to do this and focus the efforts of classifying the employee productivity as some sort of total productivity for all divided by hours they do as individuals.

    ah.. then you are marking your time card wrong..

    You should mark all the time that the shell scripts do while you play computer games as worktime..

  13. Several things causing this on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Two of the trends causing this are clearly the increased automation and outsourcing.

    But also the much higher overtime in larger corporations on scales than was traditioally only seen in startups.

    And the fact that a lot of the new things are not outsourced as such, but still developped by small companies and then bought by these large ones.

  14. Re:Big surprise... on ICANN Won't Get DNS Root Servers · · Score: 0

    Well this attitude will probably in the long run cause some split. It allready did in navigation satelites, with europe launcing the galileo.

  15. One of the mergers where the goal is "generic" on Symantec, Veritas Merger Approved · · Score: 1
    Seems to me like there a trend for companies to merge/buy just som company that seems "good enough" without there having to ge a focus.

    The goal seems to just have a big enough total size, to "be counted as big player". So it really does not really matter what you buy.

  16. Not really the popups on Major Browsers Have JS Pop-Up Flaw · · Score: 4, Insightful
    It is not really the pop-ups that are the security propble. It is the fact that the user interface is written in a way that does not make the different things clearly separated.

    It corresponds to say.. running a browser, a spreadheet and say a game at same time and then getting a dialog box that is not identifiable saying "Do you want to save?".

    Different problems of this sort will only raise as more and more applications are run as web based. Today it is popups that are not identified, tomorrow something else.

  17. Re:Bwuah? on Inquirer Blasts Mozilla for Microsoft-Style Bashing · · Score: 1
    Nobody's going to install both Netscape and Firefox's browsers and switch between them; they're going to pick one OR the other and stick with it.

    actually..

    I run both Firefox and Mozilla.. So it might well be that I would switch the mozilla to Netscape.. going to test it soon anyway.

    The Firefox is configured to bypass filtering by using a secure proxy on outside. I mostly use Mozilla for evertything.. but when I hit forbidden thing I copy the url to Firefox and use it, though it is a slower method.

    Actually Decimate was the punishment given to roman legions that broke in combat. It consisted of killing one man in ten. Thus not done to enemies, but to own troops for failing disgracefully in their task.

  19. Re:Easy... on Updating Free Software in the Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    indeed, I would randowmly generate the update time and weekday for each machine to balance the load. Well atleast the time of day.. as with that they would all hit the server at exactly same time.

    computer criminals have been extradited.. and it is sometimes possible to follow revenue streams and such depending on the exact wording on the bill.

  24. Re:A suggestion maybe on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 2, Informative

    indeed. I have not looked into the american system, but the DVD-T system used in europe gets 4 channels in the place of one old channel. In addition because of the ways the analog signal had to have large areas around the primary transmission area not using the sam frequency there is an actual additional factor of more than 5.. probabbly order of magnitude 10+ increase in the efficiency of use. Thus you get probably 20-40+ channels for the same spectrum used for the purpose.
