  1. Re:Google SUCKS on Google Plans an IPO · · Score: 1

    I still have a complaint though ... the Advanced Search "exact match" is unintuitive.

    agreed. I would also think that putting something in quotes means i am looking for a phrase, but the '+'s are still need inside the quotes. Also putting a '+' in front (e.g. +"if you like it" should result in matching all the words in the quotes.

  2. Re:Google SUCKS on Google Plans an IPO · · Score: 2

    Well, you still may think it is a hassle, but, if you took 1/10th of the time it took to complain about it, you'd see that a search for "+an ion-trap +that +will" at google will give you what you want. (in .23 seconds)

  5. bleh on Java as a CS Introductory Language? · · Score: 1

    CS is too often just learning to program, not the hows and whys and whatnots. I like Chris DiBonas comments on that matter but pump his attitude up to very annoying and there i am. I tire of the kids wanting to know "which language should I learn?". btw, try lisp

    Cal it bo-ring. Like this site.

  16. well on Athena: A Fast Kernel-Independent GUI OS · · Score: 1

    since this thing not only requires linux and X11, i don't see how this is more than a fancy xml-programmable window manager. it may become more in the future. but calling a window manager an OS is a major exaggeration.

    for it to be an OS it would need to allow me to log into it, and create an environment where i can run programs without them being aware that they are actually on a different system (the linux host). i have seen nothing of that in the description.

  21. rubbish on Judge Thinks Delete Should Mean Delete · · Score: 1

    saying that the delete key should actually delete things... WTF does that have to do with how long an email can be "held against you" whatever that means.
    I also must disagree with "This is an astonishingly insightful idea". Of course if actually was able to see the article (/.ed) i could comment on that instead the foolish poster of the story
