  1. It's really quite simple on Java vs .NET · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just did a job search on monster.com:

    c# - 704 results
    java - 4398 results


    Yeah, there's just SO much more demand for .NET programmers...

  2. Re:Remote pair programming? on Hydra: Rendezvous-Enabled Text Editing · · Score: 1

    in fact the whole point is that there is one keyboard that you take turns on

    That's strange, I thought the idea was to share knowledge, maintain focus, and spot the other guy's errors. I never would have guessed that it's really all about taking turns on a single keyboard and smelling your partner's ass.

  3. Straight to the Source on Amazon Scores Another Patent · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to the patent document, these are the people responsible for granting this patent:

    Primary Examiner: Kincaid; Kristine
    Assistant Examiner: Nguyen; Thomas T.
    Attorney, Agent or Firm: Perkins Coie LLP

    Can't we just contact them and ask them how much they were paid to grant this crap? Seriously, maybe someone could ask them what they are thinking.

  4. go to the source on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about movies but if you want to support a band, go see them live and buy cd's directly from them. If you buy the cd in the store, the band only sees about $1.50. If you buy it from the band at the show, the band puts it all in their pocket.

  5. Where's my cursor? on XFree86 3.3.5 released · · Score: 1

    I'm having the same problem. I've set up RH 6.0 on about 6 machines with V770 TNT2 cards in the last month and have had the same problem on each of them. I've tried all kinds of things to no avail.

    I'm also having problems with XEmacs. The buttons don't have the correct graphics (they are black and white) and most of them (along with some of the menu functions) don't work. Missing library perhaps?

    I'm getting tired of pico.

  6. Re:Independent Freedom Measure? on Feature: WH Panel Calls for Crypto Export Reform · · Score: 1

    In the most base sense, laws are restrictions on what we can do. Why not measure freedom (or lack of) quantitativly by how many laws we have?

    Anyone know how many laws we have in the US?
