  1. Re:Wow on Kinect Hack Builds 3D Maps of the Real World · · Score: 1

    MS has announced that releasing their own driver for the PC and Kinect in the future is likely.

  2. Yeah right on Should Younger Developers Be Paid More? · · Score: 1

    Pay the kid more until the company realizes the absolute lack of experience means that new kid can't finish a project on time, can't accurately determine how much time something will take to get done, doesn't know anything about writing good documentation, using source control, testing, etc.

  3. Re:Too little and too much, way too late on An Interview With C++ Creator Bjarne Stroustrup · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? There's tons of work in the US for C++ developers. My job right now for a large company has everything written in C++. C++ is everywhere in the controls and semiconductor industries too.

  4. well... on Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons? · · Score: 1

    Fuck you dolphins! Fuck you whales!

  5. awesome on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now the children will only here the word nigger 219 times in their favorite rap song.

  6. Bring on tracks for GH and Rock Band 3! on Pink Floyd Give In To Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    I want to see some Rock Band 3 Pink Floyd DLC! I still have the 9 CD box set for Pink Floyd. I would love to have some tracks in Rock Band.

  7. Cityville is like crack. I played it for a couple days and can see the appeal. It's a social Simcity. You can also send gifts and invites directly to your Farmville neighbors in Cityville so it quickly converted millions of FV players to CV players.

  8. Android on Gamers Abandoning DS, PSP In Favor of Smartphones · · Score: 1

    I'd probably still take my DS on a long work trip but most of the time if I'm going to play a quick game it's on my phone. Angry Birds will probably keep me busy for a long time.

  9. Re:The solution on Stuxnet Virus Now Biggest Threat To Industry · · Score: 1

    Very true wyvern. Even on isolated systems there's always a laptop used for configuring the PLCs, uploading code, etc (and usually Windows XP in my experience). Also the chance they would be running WinCC on a non-Siemens PLC isn't that likely. Every PLC maker has their own SCADA software.

  10. Re:The solution on Stuxnet Virus Now Biggest Threat To Industry · · Score: 1

    Of course but unfortunately Windows is everywhere in industrial systems. To truly be isolated they should be running dedicated HMIs connected to the PLC with no computer at all. But modern automated facilities want to be able to monitor everything from a SECS/GEM host, be able to remotely look and control HMIs, etc. I bet the companies that spent extra for Rockwell Automation PLCs over Siemens are happy with there choice now. How idiot to hard code a password like that. Not sure why we need legislation for this though.

  11. I already have convergence on Facebook Inbox Throws Blow At Google... No Flinch? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's called an Android phone.

  12. Re:One of my buddies... on Mystery 'Missile' Identified As US Airways Flight 808 · · Score: 2, Funny

    So the conspiracy theories start. My cousin's husband's brother's friend was flying his homemade ultralight plane right by there and swears it was a missile and it almost hit him.

  13. Don't forget on Workers Poisoned Making Touchscreen Hardware · · Score: 1

    These same factories pump out tons of Chinese branded touch screen cell phones and personal media players. They aren't just making them for US companies like Apple.

  14. Choice Jobs.... on Steve Jobs Lashes Out At Android · · Score: 1

    That's what I have with Android... Choices. Choice of phone maker, choice of price, choice of carrier, choice to run software not on the market, etc. etc. etc.

  15. Re:Love Gun on Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd · · Score: 1

    That is one funny movie!

  16. Love Gun on Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who are these clowns? Kiss? You don't know who Kiss is? No. Never heard of them. They look likeidiots to me. No, no, no, dude. These are four of the smartest guys who ever lived. They're these Jewish guys that grew up in New York, and they put on guitars and makeup to get girls, and all of their songs are about fucking! I'm listening. Seriously, this song is called Love Gun, and it's about Paul Stanley's dick and how this girl's gonna get some of his dick! Cool. I didn't know Jews could sing like that. No. No. They couldn't at the time. That's why they had to dress like clowns. This got them girls? Get this! They've been getting pussy nonstop for 30 years! They're probably fucking right now, and they're old dudes! They put makeup on, and it's all good! No shit? You pull the trigger of my Love gun You see, Ronnie? His dick is the gun!

  17. Overhyped BS on Top Facebook Apps Violate Privacy Terms · · Score: 2, Informative

    This a passing of a user ID only. If that user has setup their profile correctly nothing can be gained from that user ID. It's no different than typing a random name in the search and going to the returned user's pages.

  18. Verizon forcing it on LG Ally users on Skype Officially Available For Android · · Score: 1

    I got a app update on my Ally last week and they are forcing a 3G only Skype on us. It can't be uninstalled. I haven't made calls with it yet but I have used a chatroom and it worked well.

  19. Stupid on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    But the beta was horrible there's not going to be many people even seeing the change after the reviews come out.

  20. OO needs to step up their game. on OpenOffice.org Declares Independence From Oracle, Becomes LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    I used it the other day and could not find any way to turn Clippy on. I can't figure out how to use it without his help!

  21. Works fine on my droid on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    I just logged into it with my phone with no issue. I've been getting emails all day of comments from people too. I call BS.

  22. Re:I love ubuntu except... on Shuttleworth Answers Ubuntu Linux's Critics · · Score: 1

    Yeah I don't get this move either. Sure a line of code or theme change can move them back to the right easily but I wonder who thought it would be a good default in the first place. I love the current release though the Windows installer worked great and everything worked on my laptop after the install without my help. I only had Win XP on it previously.

  23. Kudos on Sony Releases PS3 Firmware Update To Fight Jailbreaks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I can't stand Sony and wouldn't own a PS3 at least they quickly tackled this. Playing Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 with all the JTAGed Xboxes running rampant hacking public games on Xbox Live while MS does nothing hasn't been fun this year.

  24. Re:::head shake:: on Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I didn't go to school for coding I went for Electrical Engineering. But I've been a software developer now for the last 16 years.

  25. Re:::head shake:: on Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    1970 here. I learned to program basic on TRS80s when I was a kid and did most of my early hacking on an Apple 2. My first calls out were on an Apple Cat with an acoustic coupler.
