  1. Re:Is this necessary? on Limits to Moore's Law Launch New Computing Quests · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    you are in the wrong place.

  2. Re:Why Don't We Just Skip the Robots... on Military Robots from 2007 to 2032 · · Score: 1

    insult #1: we see you have mastered the ellipsis. please move on to other forms of punctuation.

    by the way, I counted 31. ridiculous.

  3. Re:Keep it a Secret on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Applied mathematics on Forget Math to Become a Great Computer Scientist? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The author is saying that without the pioneers of the science CS wouldn't be intertwined with mathematics. So yeah, it is fundamental now, but in the absence of the original contributors it may have looked quite different. I personally find the argument a bit difficult to swallow, but then again, I'm inside the box.

  5. Re:No Safari or Opera Support on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 4, Informative

    It seems that Google Gears can be used for more than offline applications. It includes tools for running JavaScript in background threads to prevent UI blocking, as well as a SQLLite database for storage and fast retrieval of any data you want, whether you're working offline or not.

  6. Re:Really. on Microsoft To Open Source Some of Silverlight · · Score: 1

    There isn't too much difference between MXML (Flex's UI layout) and XAML (Microsoft's UI layout). And .NET can integrate with Flash just fine, using Flash remoting or SOAP.

  7. Re:About Time on AppleTV Hits the Streets · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure about that. My Macbook's hard drive just went. Before that, the battery.

  8. A book about operating systems not interesting? on IT Manager's Handbook · · Score: 1

    Obviously not a tech-oriented guy. The Dino Book was the only textbook I've enjoyed reading in University. It's a collection of great ideas, page after page. Nothing boring about that. Operating systems are the culmination of architectural ingenuity (at least as far as software goes).

  9. Re:If their CS programs are like ours... on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 1

    I'm a cs student. At my school we do both.

  10. Re:...has yet to succeed... on Bosworth On Why AJAX Failed, Then Succeeded · · Score: 1

    It's actually based on an abandoned draft that no one could agree on but Adobe adopted before any decision was made. Mozilla was interested. Microsoft not so much.

  11. Re:Hurmph. on Pentium 4 631 Overclocked to 8 GHz · · Score: 1

    I'm reasonably sure he was joking.

  12. Re:I have on A DIY Mid-Air Pointing Device · · Score: 1

    Hey Dog-Cow,

    Just wanted to let you know that I love your name. In fact, I've used it myself on occasion. I consider you a kindred spirit, and you have been added to my friends list.

  13. Re:Denver Airport on Web Surfing in Public Places Is A Way to Court Trouble · · Score: 3, Funny

    "bags"?

  14. Re:tuning it for me on Almost Complete Set List for Guitar Hero II · · Score: 1

    You could just buy a tuner. You'd develop the ear over time.

  15. Subliminal message attempt? on Steal This Film · · Score: 1

    What's up with all the flashing words? "Enjoy" "Sharing is a service" (or something...) That's all I caught, but I stopped watching. Why do this?

  16. Mash-up on Tech Buzzwords Added to Dictionaries · · Score: 2, Informative

    Everytime I read this word I feel pissed off. I can't explain it...except for saying that it just seems so stupid.

  17. Re:Sick country on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think the issue with landmines is that they're left behind long after the conflict has ended. Anyone can step on these things after the fact.

  18. Re:Women and Linux - My Experience on GNOME Reaches Out to Women · · Score: 1

    Withstand? I think you mean stand.

    Withstand would mean she couldn't resist it.

  19. Re:Popup Television on Google Researchers Create TV Audio Analysis System · · Score: 1

    Interesting...

  20. Re:One Liners on Alienware Releases Limited Edition Superman PCs · · Score: 1

    How is this a troll? It's sweet!

  21. Re:starship troopers on New Personal Mono-Wing · · Score: 1

    That's just what I was thinking. You beat me to it!

  22. DARE all over again on Captain Copyright Targets Kids · · Score: 1

    If only Officer Gold could see me now.

  23. Re:Reason? on Open Source Game Development · · Score: 1

    You're commenting on grammar and spelling yet you use the word "hurted" (not a word) in the same sentence as the critique.

  24. Re:Dibs on O'Reilly and CMP Exercise Trademark on 'Web 2.0' · · Score: 1

    :)

    I guess it's been awhile since my math proofs course.

  25. Re:Dibs on O'Reilly and CMP Exercise Trademark on 'Web 2.0' · · Score: 1

    haha. I meant where q != 1 and p and q are in their lowest forms
