  10. Re:Don't you mean on Tracking the IT Job Market with a Bot · · Score: 1

    "computerjobs.com wouldn't necessarily represent the entire IT market, but rather a very small percentage of it"

    Right. For example I live in the netherlands and it's USA-based.

  11. demoscene=art on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this is considered art, while it's still 'nothing but code': http://www.scene.org/awards.php

    Linux? - Too expensive to implement. He. As kids these day grow up in a linux-filled world, I'll take a bet you're not going to say the same thing in 10 years time from now.

  13. Re:Don't they have RSS anymore? on Dvorak Sees MS Conspiracy Against BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Realy. I'm not going to read his column, just to get anoyed and giving him ad-revenue.

    Oops, sorry, once more:

    Money, get away
    Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.
    Money it's a gas

    Think I'll buy me a football team

    Money get back
    I'm alright Jack keep your hands off my stack. Money it's a hit

    Money so they say

    Amazing, It is a returning troll, and you proved it!

  17. Re:Missing holiday season that bad? on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1
    Nintendo is losing big by missing Christmas
    Don't think so. They got lots of other products waiting to be bought around Christmas time. They'll make their millions anyway.
  18. Re:Cooperation or desperation on Ballmer and McNealy Smiling Together · · Score: 1
    x86(snap!) reliable, stable and fast
    If I had the money I would ditch my x86 anytime, in favour of something I would trust not to brak down when it's most needed. But well, x86 *are* cheap, so I'll keep using them for the time being. But to say they're reliable, I disagree. In a high-cost production enviroment I would never think of installing x86's.
  19. about money on Computer Problem Caused Price Errors on NASDAQ · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are we now all ready to acknowledge the fact that money is nothing more then a set of bounding rules? It was never introduced to be taken advantage of, like the first world is doing everyday. I believe any system will break down eventually, if it's not used in harmony with the idea the founders of that system had in mind. Can't realy imagine people back in the days would be proud now, seeing people die without food/water, while others whine about their stock-value.

  20. Re:Link to the offending article... on LinuxWorld Editorial Machinations · · Score: 1

    This link works, the parent post is just a kind of trailer to this one. The story is removed from LBN.

  21. Good idea on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 1

    Maybe, just maybe when some sets go dark, their owners realise digital tv is not worth it, and stop watching television. Nothing more unproductive than having the tv on. People stop talking, stop reading, stop learning, and just go in absorb-mode.

    If you're tired of Terminator 3, Matrix 3 and LOTR 3, there's always http://www.scene.org/

  23. Re:Bush planning astronomy cuts on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    Bush says to scientists: 'develop a more managerial approach to the business of doing science.'
    Tsk. It' all about r&d in that sector, what is he thinking? Nerds in labs doing it according to the 3P's and the 4M's? *sigh* We're more likely do die because we can't even manage a simple society, than the chance of us getting hit by an asteroid.

  24. Daft Punk on USB Disco Dance Floor · · Score: 1

    The lyric ('More than ever hour after hour work is never over') on the front page, on top of the discofloor is by Daft Punk, 'Harder, Better, Faster, stronger'. I like songs that increase productivity.
