  1. Re:OGG - who cares? on Digital Music Player Overview · · Score: 1

    Nice. Having a cool name is always good for a technology!

  2. OGG - who cares? on Digital Music Player Overview · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not to be nasty, but nobody really cares about OGG. 99% of the market of these things only cares about 1 format: MP3. Can it play MP3? Kewl, that's what I want. Nobody will switch anytime soon especially since most kids' friends players / PCs wont' play OGG either, so swapping OGGs (or any other new format) is harder than swapping plain ol' MP3s.

    I'm not saying OGGs suck, but the reality is that MP3 aint broken, so there's no need to fix it. My 192 kbps MP3s sound just fine and I have more space on my player than music to stuff it with.

  3. MOD PARENT UP!! on Art Tips For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Harsh but true. Also: Why accept a job without a proper budget? If you're getting paid peanuts to be chief, cook and bottlewasher let the client go find a sucker programmer to do it. Oh wait - he did.

  4. MOD PARENT UP on Novell Pulls Out Their Ace Against SCO · · Score: 0

    OT but true.

  5. SP2 blocks 3rd party cookies on DoubleClick On The Blocks? · · Score: 1

    I think this is also a BIG problem for the future of DoubleClick. SP2 disallows 3rd party cookies by default now - IE won't even ask you if you want to allow them. They're just dropped - no warning or anything. This must be bad for DC since a large portion of the internet will soon be on IE with SP2. No more tracking cookies = no more tracking stats.

  6. Worst movie EVAR! on Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse · · Score: -1, Troll

    Can you say 'Lame Ass'?

  7. Re:Go Bin Laden! on What's Going On in Canada? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yep, I hate to admit it, but you're right. I believe most of the power of the USA comes from it's economic power. Just look at how it fucked Australia in the ass repeatedly with it's so called 'Free trade' agreements and the like. Everyone must stay in line otherwise you end up on the wrong side of the trading wall.

    Noooononononono. I'm not encouraging hatred. I'm encouraging hatred OF AMERICA. See it's OK to hate America unless of course you're American yourself, in which case you won't possibly understand why anyone could hate you. You're doing so much GOOD in the world right?

    Yea those were kewl too, but mostly I like him for the WTC attacks. That was his best work. I bet you don't know why the rest of the world hates America either. It makes no sense right? America does so much GOOD in this world! Why? WHYYY?

  13. Re:Linux Version on Google to Launch Mac Version of Google Desktop UPDATED · · Score: 1

    I don't think a lot of PCs bought with OEM windows gets re-installed with Linux. Linux users will rather buy a PC with no OS on it. Windows can be a bitch to exorcise.

  14. Linux version won't please on Google to Launch Mac Version of Google Desktop UPDATED · · Score: 2, Funny

    They can't create a Linux version because all the OSS hippies will just blast it for being evil propriety software and run around posting links to some BS app on SourceForge thats supposedly 6.2 million trillion times better than GDS.

    Besides, it's also way too easy to install. Linux users are masochists that way.

  15. Re:Go Bin Laden! on What's Going On in Canada? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ah yep, let's conveniently forget all the people murdered by the US, both before and after the WTC attacks. And let's forget that the US is the only country to ever use nukes against their enemies. And of course people hate the US enough to kill just because they are evil - they have no legitimate reasons.

    Have fun living in the land of the free!

    It's funny because it's true.

  21. Re:Didn't RTFA... on World's First Single-Atom-Thick Fabric · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, only 3 of the 4 is used, because the 4rth one points in the wrong direction (outwards). The atomic geometry of Boron and Nitrogen is not suitable for making flat 2d structures.

  22. Re:Didn't RTFA... on World's First Single-Atom-Thick Fabric · · Score: 3, Informative

    Carbon is the smallest atom that can bind to 4 other atoms. 4 is the minimum needed to create a 2d material. Therefore unless we find a way to make materials out of sub-atomic particles this is the thinnest we can go.

  23. Re:IIS vs J2EE Servers on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1, Troll

    Recently I switched to C# (new job) and I have to tell you, the language is pretty neat with some of the tricks you can do. Nothing ground breaking though.

    Nothing groundbreaking? What about DataGrid1.DataBind() or built-in viewstate management? I love it to bits when I think back at how horrible stuff like that was in PHP.

    What's really missing is the platform for release, and release management.

    SourceSafe is free with VS and will be even better integrated in Whidbey.

    What the fuck is up with IIS (oh yeah, it's crap)??

    I don't know what your IIS issues are but on my win2003 servers we've not had a single problem.

    Where is any sort of replicated server side session management (no, long ass hidden fields are *not* sessions - and a M$SQLServer *only* solution doesn't count).

    Why does SQL Server not count? It's cheap and works well for server-side state/session management. You can also use the ASPNET State Server service, or if you are so inclined you can write your own with minimal effort (50 lines of code or so).
    .net shits all over everything else for pure developer productivity.
