  1. And why was this post allowed. on Diebold Threatens Wary Voting Clerk · · Score: 0

    Diebold voting fraud machines... Diebold goon says machines are now jinxed... a company witch-doctor... Thank god for reasonably unbiased news postings.

  2. Re:No. Different isn't better. on Is Visual Basic a Good Beginner's Language? · · Score: 0

    How was this modded as insightful... That's right its Slashdot.

    BASIC uses 1-based arrays, and horror or horrors, allows you to change that behavior. I could go on, but other people will probably cover this subject adequately.

    Yes TWO VERSIONS AGO! VB.NET is zero based arrays:

    ...but VB.NET to C# translators are a bit more problematic

    http://www.shareup.com/VB.Net_to_C_Converter-downl oad-17930.html

    Just three to get you started!

    For example X=A(5) could refer to a function call, an array index, or a number of other possibilities, depending on what "A" is

    Well not to mention that a professional programmer wouldn't right functions as 'A' or 'X', Option explicit on would not let you compile that if both X and A are not the same data type.

    Don't bother with VB 6, it's going away.

    Yeah, like FIVE YEARS AGO!

    But you are right VB.net and C# are basically the same. Its all syntax. For myself, I read and write English so I prefer to code in English, not code for the compilers sake.

  3. Re:Try to remember... on 'Games as Porn' Bill Passes Utah House · · Score: 1, Insightful

    As someone who has lived here all my life, let me tell you there are far more repressive places that Utah...which suprises me. For example, ever try to by a beer in Pennsylvania? You can't even get one at the grocery store!!! Please do not lump all people from Utah as backwards or repressed.

    No they don't, most people here don't vote... That's how we get the people in the legislature. BTW for everyone that thinks Utah is wierd, have you checked out lately what they do in Kansas?

    I stopped reading after '...only homos pay for'. Nice to see the twelve year olds are back representin' on slashdot.

  6. Re:Argh! on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 0

    Unless you never have to worry about WHY then you miss the point. It doesn't matter WHY because it already IS in the business. The ballot questions were not about SHOULD the government issue marriage licenses to gays, it was WILL the government issue marraige licenses to gays. The answer is YES!

  7. Re:G/L/B Rights on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 0

    The problem you are not seeing is that 'strawberry-eaters' or 'vegetarian' is a choice. What people who want to marginalize another group of people always need to frame the question as a choice because if its a core attribute that can't be changed, then it would be bigotry. Remember that the only currently protected group that someone can change is Religion, yet its always seems to be the 'regilious' people that want to shut out gays from being fully protected for who they are... Yes, StorminMormon?

  8. Re:Nature or nurture? on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 0

    This always come back to 'preference' which is an easier way to be a bigot. So if being gay is not genetic, its some sort of lifestyle someone can choose...then that must mean you could be gay too? I mean, its just a choice right?

    OMG get over it already. Where exactly should it not belong. Should linux not belong on the desktop?! I start throwing stones with you when people stop dying of malaria in Africa. Do you really think that in the magically world without Bill Gates, people would donate to stop malaria!!!

    MY God, there are other things besides Computers. Get a life already... or at least try to save a life.

  11. Re:.NET?!? on Java Is So 90s · · Score: 1

    Here's a huge one. I can write in any language that is correct for the job, and as long as it is .Net complaint, it will work with the framework. Hell, I can use a C# assembly in a VB.net app and it wil work. With JVM, I am stuck with Java.

  12. Re:What's changed? on 20th Anniversary of Windows · · Score: 1

    Seriously dude, as if. If joe sixpack googles for 'porn elimenator' and clicks a hyperlink to install, then the distro's repository is ineffective. Hell, when I can't find a package in a repository, do you think I just say oh well... No, I am going to go find the package somewhere.. The repository is a conviences, not a security device.

    So the Wall Street monkey like the Monkey Boy. See, there's your proof of evolution!

  14. Re:Orrin Hatch? on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 1

    Give me a break. I've lived in this state all my life and had to deal with the "church"'s bullshit from day one. The LDS church gives a command, either voiced or implied, and all the mormon sheep follow. How many times have you heard 'You can't be a good mormon and a democrat at the same time.'

    I'm so sick of the mormon church and its 'faithful' screwing up the state.

    One Word: Republicans. I'm a native Utah and most here will vote for anyone with an "R" after thier name on a ballot. It sucks, but its the truth!
