  1. Re:In the future... on Transforming Waste Plastic Into $10/Barrel Fuel · · Score: 1

    That would be awesome to actually have a mobile unti station like structure that has this technology and goes out to the patch as you say, and uses up all the plastics it can find to create fuel...it would be cool to not only recycle so to speak but also create more fuel at the same time...holds great promise!

    You may be right, as I heard there was a commodore64 emulator for the iPhone, which Apple asked that certain things like basic compiler be disabled, using some flags,which can be easily bypassed...to be able to write is basic again....ah the memories come flooding back!

    >so it doesn't matter if you represent a pointer as an int, the function that you're calling will SIGSEGV on a null value anyway, and may quietly corrupt memory if you give it a wrong non-null value.

    Any programmer worth his salt would have validated for nulls before calling sigsegv...no?

  8. Yes, its time to do this! on Australian ISPs Asked To Cut Off Malware-Infected PCs · · Score: 1

    I have long time ago tried to send out multiple requests to ISPS, to try and start a movement such as this, was met with alot of
    negativity, saying that the ISP has no responsibility for this, and why would they seeing as they make money on the bandwidth used by the infected machine anyways, so it would be not in their best interest.

    An infected machine sending out spam emails uses up bandwidth, and when the user does not catch on there is an extra charge
    on his bill at the end, it ends up being good for the ISP, as this pays their rent!

    I agree with doing something, is this IT as a means to get this done, I am uncertain how it will pan out, but I would have gone charge per email myself, the user would know it by seeing on his bill how many emails he sent , with a cap of course for max charge allowed...but 1 cent per email sounds good. Someone who has a company and legitimately sends out spam emails will be sending out 5 million emails, so the cap will be applicable for them as well....and for someone sending out from their home, will end up seeing that their machine is infected without needing personnel to contact this person and educate them.

  9. They could, they just dont want to... on Microsoft Says No TCP/IP Patches For XP · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Please..all underlying architecture has not changed from xp to vista, even though they want you to believe this...and for them to correct the wrapper on xp, would be trivial, however, they are testing the waters about phasing out xp, and want to see what the backlash will be like, seeing as no one wants vista garbage, and maybe even no windows7!

    I prefer, being given the opportunity of just paying a yearly fee to keep getting updates on a system that runs properly compared to their new bloated versions of vista etc... too bad no one can pick it up like a linux distro and start their own version of windows...

  13. bring out your dead! on How To Make Science Popular Again? · · Score: 1

    It would be nice instead of just going through history as a lesson in human behavior, that they actually also integrate important leading inventors of our past. I heard about Nikola Tesla (properly) a few months ago, and was amazed by how brilliant this man was, and his grasp of knowledge for anything electrical made me wish I had learned earlier about him, as I am for certain he would have brought some extra motivation when I was going to school.

    This is 1 of many men that have changed the course of history technology wise, and we know so little about what they really could do. We heard a bit about davinci, but to actually go into his works in depth, and see even predictions about the future, how it was so simple for him to imagine that in the future, man would have been able to fly by putting the materials together like a machine in those days, and give it forward motion enough to catch air currents and use those to propel themselves to their destination.

    Anyways...we do not put enough emphasis on these men during school when kids NEED to be motivated
    and seek out their true calling in life. I know they would rather be killing orcs on WoW, but
    to build your own real operational solar panel powered radio or the like, makes a cool project, and also makes you learn about stuff. Really, we need to push more of this in school...radioshack kits and all.!

    are themselves.

    Unless cleaning your cache is full of sh*t, and your posting proves you know nothing about web browsers.

    If I hit refresh on a page, or even just move to a page, that I have not viewed before, there is no way that cleaning a cache will actually do anything to help, and as far as the person writing about it was saying, he is technically letting you know they are using bogus excuses and saying YOU should do this or that, when in fact , it could very well be THEIR web page is broken, but don't want to admit it for fear of a class action lawsuit of many millions!

    Of course they are not going to admit they made a mistake until someone makes it SOOOO obvious that even the media gets in on it...which is what this party was trying to do...please don't debunk it unless you know what you are talking about.

    The fact that they are trying to put google's good name on the line for this, as if it was google's fault shows how little they really know about these botnets, and this technology.

  20. Re:Yes. on Russia's New Official Holiday — Programmer's Day · · Score: 1

    RUSSIA ONLY!

    But they said in Russia, does not mean the whole world celebrates it, just like jewish holidays, you should not get any special treatment (extra days off) because of YOUR own religious holidays, that have nothing to do with your company. I have a hard time with that, having someone use the regular holidays stemming from a catholic background such as Christmas, new years etc... and then on top of it, you need to give extra holidays for jewish holidays (paid for!) because they plan on celebrating their own religion.

    Don't get me wrong, I am not against any one religion, but that is taking advantage of the system!
    As for Russians wanting to honor their most respected profession that gets their country's people recognition,
    I am all for it, in THEIR country, not OURS!

    for someone to say specifically it belongs to them, I know many different applications which uses categories to a piece of data.
