  1. Re:ioccc on Favorite Programming Contests? · · Score: 1

    This sounds like something my teacher once said to me. "In c there is no programming errors, it's just a different program."

  2. Re:I'm so sick of "Blogs" on AOL Hopes to Change Image With Services · · Score: 1

    My guess would be that is just lately that services like blogger.com has come around. For a very long time people has had access to both rss and blog, but you would have to know a lot about it to stand a chance.

    Back in the days free hosting was new, a lot of people didn't use it because they would have to make the sites them selves...

  3. Re:Canceling their service... on AOL Hopes to Change Image With Services · · Score: 1

    Yeah! That actually has a lot to say. If you got some test-time, you will win a lot if you announce it with a text like "no binding sign up" or something (that beeing that it actually isn't binding!).

    I've noticed this my self. In sevral accations I have signed up on stuff just because of the sign up not beeing final, and then after the free tryout, signed up for the full product.

  4. In lack of words... on AOL Hopes to Change Image With Services · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...I can say anything else than:

    LOL

  5. Re:Hiring? on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 1

    Even though you hear things like:

    "You won't find any bored engineers at Google," the company's Web site says. "You will find friendly colleagues, fascinating projects and the opportunity to make life better for tens of millions of people every day."

    ..I have problems to belive that it will last. If the company over-expands, and creates to many new projects, I think the situation between colleagues will change dramaticly (even though they makes life better for tens of millions of people every day)...

  6. Hit the wall... on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I do believe that Google will hit a wall eventually, and it will hit it spectacularly," said the book author Moore. "The real question is: What will it do then?"

    Can't they just do it, and get it over with. I'm starting to get tired of all the fuzz about them now a days.

  7. Not bad! on Bram Cohen's Response to Microsoft's Avalanche · · Score: 2, Funny

    "It isn't a product which you can use or test with, it's a bunch of proposed algorithms. There isn't even a fleshed-out network protocol. The 'experiments' they've done are simulations."

    Another interesting project from the Microsoft team then? Looks like they've made an entire department, dedicated to making ideas about things that they could make, but never intend to do.. Nice going

  8. Re:Link to the actual image on More Info on Google's 3D Maps · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does that image look mighty altered? It looks as if the opening is cut out, and the inside inserted from somewhere else.

    Just my take on it ;)

  9. Did I miss something? on Physicists Clarify Exotic Force · · Score: 1

    I know this is going to get a lot of RTFM answers (even though I did), but is this just a fancy way of saying "everything as usual"?

  10. Re:Nothing to see here... on Intel Working on Agile Wireless Chip · · Score: 0

    Hah! I'm not an Intel analyst, but even I could come up with something like this if I din't have to actually say how it works :P

  11. Holy Grail on Intel Working on Agile Wireless Chip · · Score: 4, Funny

    This type of agile chip is the "holy grail for Intel," said Sam Lucero, an analyst at research shop IDC.

    Let's see if they manages to find it then :P

  12. Re:But of course... on BLAST High Altitude Telescope Launched · · Score: 1

    Aaah. Slack, the mother of distros.

    On the other hand, not unlike windows, when it crashes, it chrashes... All though my crash my be related to the "# rm -R . /" :P

  13. Re:9 months? on Patent Reform Bill Introduced in U.S. House · · Score: 1

    It's a kind of bouns if you manage to sneak a patent in under the radar...

  14. Does this mean... on Patent Reform Bill Introduced in U.S. House · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...that the same people that accepted a stupid patend in the first place would be the one to read a reasonable request to why the patent is to be removed?

    It sound like this is a perfect plan carried out in the worst possible manner..

  15. Re:Not all that bad on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1

    Over here in Norway we just had the same discussion. The only problem here was that the proposal said that you could not convert a cd into any digital form for use in a mp3-player, cause you couldn't expect the cd to fit into the player (physicly that is!).

    What happened was that someone, miracously, informed the people in charged that it actually was possible to convert it into the data used on the player. Now we suddenly have a law giving us the right to bypass any protection on the cd, and convert it into any digial format.

    I think that if someone actually told the people in charge what their propsals would actually mean, half of them would get canned at the blink of an eye!

  16. Re:Time to use that stationery you got for christm on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1

    And what would you write?

    Dear Mr. Big-Politics-Guy
    I really like getting stuff for free. Can we please keep doing that?

  17. Re:What's not to get? on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    I had the exact same problem when they released the first version without the register_globals being set to on as default. I think it was like 4.1 or something.

    Anyways, it was then I discovered that it might be a good idea to read the readme files, and security threats. They had long been aware of the threats that it posed to have the option turned on, and they had warned us. The same thing goes for a lot of the big changes from php4 to php5 as well.

    Could get troublesome though...

    "I rememeber i robbed this bank once.. Wait, was that real life or GTA."

  19. Re:Well on Google to Map San Francisco in 3D · · Score: 1

    I heard about this guy walking every street in New York. Google doing the same (to the whole world that is) would be quite amusing :D

    I can't wait to see them do country sides here in Norway...

    Will this be copyrighted then?

  21. Re:Read the article on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    It was so damn hard to find anyone using an HP calculator, so they just did a photo of a TI...

    Google Henchman: We don't have the power to take that site down, Sir.
    Google CEO: No problem, sport. We'll just post it on slashdot.

    First firefox is the new ie, then google becomes the new ms. What's next? SCO goes open source?

    LOL..

    If you're that good you're doomed to either be retarded or wacko.

    This obviously proves it ;)
