  1. Re:The world is recoiling from centralization on Wikileaks Suspends Publishing Of Cables Due To "Financial Blockade" · · Score: 1

    When that one person left to form openleaks he deleted them off wiki-leaks servers.

    Mr. Open Leaks was trusted and early Wikileaks still (and probably does) depended on some form of personal trust at the higher levels. That being said, incompetence paired with a malicious actor happens. I propose we crucify Mr. Open Leaks for his kind gift to us all.

  2. Re:Limits are necessary, or are they? on NH Supreme Court To Rule On Bigfoot Video Shoot In Public Park · · Score: 1

    Well, one should always "follow the money."

    A corollary to that is "Look at those who have to pay -- they'll most want to use you as a load balancer for their costs".

  3. Re:Not all schools are equal on A Silicon Valley School That Doesn't Use Computers · · Score: 2

    That's a lot of words for saying "Hire people of quality, not gimmicks, technological or sociological." ;) But I agree with you nonetheless.

    ...The motivation can't be money or job security...

    Maybe not having to teach little shite monsters is more valuable than people initially figure. I know I was a royal career ruining hell up until I managed to get placed into AP classes and actually DOING something instead of spending my days being bored, dreaming up ways to make the teacher cry, lose their temper or reconsider their life. And I was one of the smart ones, so after I had my needs met, I was less of a trouble. The same cannot be said of all the bored morons in class. They really were dumb as stumps. Unfortunately not dumb enough to be oblivious to their own stupidity though. :S

  5. Re:Lack of objectivity? on Women Dropping Out of IT · · Score: 1

    In international science and engineering competitions, like ISEF, all the women I've seen there reek an aura of objectivity. Same with the guys. So what? Does that mean all women and men are objective? Certainly not. Quit being a fool. So you've seen unobjective women. What about the men? Hm? FYI, intuition is a valuable skill to have in research, as many "objective" tests can be misleading and specific under certain circumstances. Sure, the test may be correct but how it is applied can make all the difference. A good scientist knows that. A bad one doesn't.

  6. Re:As always, units matter on Louisiana Federal Judge Blocks Drilling Moratorium · · Score: 1

    Then don't fucking drill and save yourself those fucking millions. Seriously - you make the best argument - keeping those active wells producing has almost no overhead compared to making new ones. Or is losing an ENTIRE FUCKING COAST so unimportant to you as to oppose halting new activity for a little bit?

  7. Pragmatic Programming is another great option on Modern Day Equivalent of Byte/Compute! Magazine? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you're looking for a replacement to the likes of Software Developer, Dr. Dobbs Journal, then please check out Pragmatic programming. As a hobbyist programmer, I enjoy the different articles, from metaprogramming to Facebook app development.

  8. Whiners on Researcher Trolls MMO, Surprised When Players Hate Him · · Score: 1

    Seriously, don't go crying if you can't handle someone playing the game the way it was designed to be played.

  9. If I LGPL my DNA.... on Open Source Life? · · Score: 1

    I'll probably be REALLY desperate.

  10. OVER AND UNDER on Intel Puts the Lock on Overclocking · · Score: 1

    My system is so old,
    when I overclock it, it under clocks itself! -=-=-=-=-=-=-
