  1. Re:you're kidding... on The Unemployed Working on OSS Projects · · Score: 1

    Or is it possible you might be unqualified and young, but want to get into the industry?

  2. Re:Harvard on DrinkOrDie Warez Trader to be Extradited to U.S. · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's that serious a crime. The people don't seem to think so either.. What percentage of people do you think have infringed copyright at some stage? More than fifty?

    If that's the case, maybe democracy ought to do something about that...

  3. Re: It's a trap. on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 1

    Nahh. They're actually going to cut Windows Update access to any known pirated copies of Windows, then in the webcast later they'll tell everyone exactly how to use these exploits. Bastards.

  4. Re:I'll probably still use google. on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 1

    The majority of Google's ads are on the right out of the way, whereas MSN's are where my results should be. I don't like this: the results start almost halfway down my screen.

    Just as a test, and to prove my overzealous faith in Google, I tried searching for 'hard drive speaker make.' I hadn't tried searching on either for information about this before, just so you know.

    Anyway, neither of the first results told me how to make them, but Google's had *some* relevance at least. I guess that was a failed experiment.

  5. Re:Nice, but not necessary. on A Theory of Fun for Game Design · · Score: 1

    I think he meant an HTML link to skip it.

    That way, if someone goes there using links or just doesn't have a flash player installed, can still get to the meat of it.

  6. Other direction...? on Scientists Give Human Organs to Lamb · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the possibilities would be of doing it the other way around... A human with a fish's brain, capable of performing labour? Or if say, giraffe hearts are less susceptible to heart attacks etc?

  7. Re:Blacksmith? on The Extinction of the Programming Species · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't honestly see this happening any time soon. My main problem with it is games... I wouldn't want to be having to spend X dollars on hardware to run a game that would be able to run on my current machine, were it written in a faster language.

    I suppose this has already happened to an extent, with C instead of assembly language. Maybe writing fast code is an obsolete technique...

    I don't understand your remark that a nation full of Java programmers results in better well being... Could you explain it?

  8. UniVerse on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 1

    My dad works at a bank, they have a server running a program called UniVerse, made by Ultradata or something... It uses entirely capitals. That's a valid reason to have 'capslock' there... Although it'd work better in a slightly less 'convenient' position. Of course, another solution would be for the program to be case insensitive...
