  1. Re:The crossed the line this time on "Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email · · Score: 1

    I'm not advocating the democrat party. I'm just very much opposed to McCain and Bush and the whole horde of assrats in the current administration.

    And you can call that trolling if you want, but I'm sick of people using "political correctness" as a barrier to freedom of speech.

  2. Here are a few: on Best Reference Site For Each Programming Language? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Java:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/

    I do a little happy dance in my head every time this site helps me out. it's a bit intimidating until you use it, then it becomes the best java reference you could ask for.

    Ruby:

    use fxri. in windows, it's not just a live command-line style interpreter, it has a dictionary of relevant terms to search through to boot. it's like having a terminal inside of a reference book, and you shouldn't pass up the opportunity to try it out.

    php:
    http://www.php.net/docs.php

    this one I use every time I use php. Not only does it tell you what everything does, but it tells you what's bugged, and how, and that way you can work around what would otherwise be a nasty problem.

    I use these constantly at my job (fxri is the only calculator I know of that can calculate the factorial of 6022, so I use it for all my calculations!) and I hope you find them just as useful as I do.

    I find it sad that any attempt to attack Palin is considered sexism or "negative campaigning."

    The woman is a monster.

    She should never have been chosen. the only reason she was chosen was BECAUSE she's as ridiculously evil as George W. Bush. If the Democrats don't attack her, they lose more than the election.

    I would say the value of at least 2 of those towers was greatly overestimated, in that ever since then they've cost us way too much.

    I am not, however, referring to money.

    If you're buying a laptop for gaming, you can get better than that with only $100. Some of us are willing to pay more than that to get old games like warcraft 2 working smoothly. Besides, who's to say that those resource hogging games won't be fun enough? or that tomorrow's "non-resource-hogging" games won't need hardware this good?

    The emails, I don't mind, so long as the spammer induces a cost for them, and pays it himself. It's when they hire a botnet, or start installing illegal software on people's computers without their consent, that I object. And spammers should be jailed for THAT. Not for exercising speech or being anonymous.

  21. Re:Holy crap. on Automated News Crawling Evaporates $1.14B · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Part of the problem is in the way things were automated. a few people have stop-losses on their stocks, so that if the stock drops half its value in a day, they automatically sell it so they don't lose everything.

    They actually lost more on this day because of that, and that's probably the worst thing that happened. Now people are going to be less likely to believe in those systems, and could end up losing 100% of their life savings if it isn't a boy crying wolf next time.

  24. Re:Let IT go nuclear on IT Vs. the Permanent Energy Crisis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think the goal is to take the easy way out. I think the goal is to find ways to make energy consumption much more efficient so that the tools and methodologies you develop can be applied to other kinds of power sources. Eventually, our spaceships are going to be working on limited supplies of fuel, and "just using solar power" or some other alternative source of energy isn't gonna work out real well.

    What we need is to give a big boost to the people who work exclusively to make stuff more efficient. It's clear that they've been neglected for a while in favor of profiteering, because cost-cutting beats efficiency on the next quarterly report every time. The problem is, if you don't keep that downward spiral going, you crash.

    A lot of people are starting to realize that building more efficient systems beats cost-cutting in the long run, and right now the long run is all America has left.
