  1. Re:Learning curve of linear vs OO? on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 1
  2. Re:More features - is that what C++ really needs? on Bjarne Stroustrup Previews C++0x · · Score: 1

    But what if you don't need a web framework?

  3. Re:An assumption on Guido Goes Google · · Score: 1

    Gmail, Adwords, and Adsense probably use javascript on the end that the user sees, but those requests go somewhere, and we don't know what the actual language used is behind the scenes.

  4. Re:When history looks back on RPGs In The 'Real World' · · Score: 1

    But what mental feats are there? You roll the dice and use your imagination. I wasn't aware that imagining things takes significant mental skill.

  5. Re:future conditional thought processes on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 1

    Yes, well, your parents also think about how what they do will affect your future actions and guide you towards some bright future. Are your parents now like programmers? Not unless they already were programmers.

  6. Dolphins on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course they had no comment, because the intention is to stop the dolphins with dartguns on their head!

  7. Lots of Work on Preserving Old Research Notes and Documents? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Even if you could scan all of them, are you going to just leave named

    untitled, untitled-1, untitled-2... untitled-3000

    or are you going to rename all of them and organize them in some way? You probably won't find a solution that won't take a lot of time and work.

  8. Summer of Code Ideas on What was Your Senior Project? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You could try one of the ideas from Summer of Code that didn't make the cut. The summer-discuss group was full of ideas. http://groups.google.com/group/summer-discuss?hl=e n

  9. The Zen of Cracking on Everyone Is A Hacker In Training · · Score: 1, Informative
    Okay, I'm not trying to burst everyone's bubble here, but there is no kung-fu hacking style. I guess the best metaphor I can come up with here is hacking is like martial arts.
    If you replace every instance of "hack" in your post with "crack" I'll agree with you. The media may call them hackers, but that's really not accurate. And it's not "kung-fu" if you're thinking of hacking, it's "kung-foo" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo#Nonsense_words
  10. Re:All Or Nothing on How Can Tech Help Fight Education Costs? · · Score: 1
    Reason for kids not being able to be schooled at home are endless. Biggest one being THERE IS NO ONE THERE TO SUPERVISE THEM. I don't know where you came from, but where I came from, kid's parents worked to put food on the table.
    What? You're confusing distance education with home schooling. Homeschooling means one of the parents stays home and teaches their child - the kids don't go to school. Distance education means that they receive the information and assignments without going to school. I don't know where you came from either, but not all parents both work.
  11. Re:consider Python on Best Language for Beginner Programmers? · · Score: 1

    So far as I know, Ruby is similar, but has more syntactic sugar. Then again, I don't know much about Ruby. How much sugar you can add to something before it isn't so good anymore is subjective. Go with Python. If you want more syntactic sugar after, switch to Ruby.

  12. The Prisoner on Beware The Rotundus Rover · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In The Prisoner, their security is a big ball of canvas filled with something and it suffocates people trying to escape. Why don't they try that?
