  1. Re:Followup on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 0

    They still have better jobs than me with my fancy Computer Science degree and tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Cry me a storm.

  2. The question everybody wants answered... on Preview of X Windows Eye Candy · · Score: 0

    ...is this networkable?

  3. Desktop search engines on Brainshare Reports: NLD 10, Novell's Linux Switch · · Score: 0

    I know where my documents are and what they contain. Do people honestly have a problem with this? Or is this rather an attempt to integrate search portals, who sell their rankings for profit? If so, it's like hardwiring www.msn.com as the home page of Internet Explorer--good for profiteers, not good for the end user. Why are so many intelligent IT people backing these stupid bandwagons? Perhaps they really pine for a relational file system and this is a half-baked interim measure.

  4. Real-time Virus Checking recommended?? on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 0

    No thank you! I practice safe computing and don't need it. Safe practices and the occasional checkup is all you need. A real-time virus checker is like giving yourself the plague to help protect against Ebola. A wiser practice is to simply avoid eating the monkey brains when invited to dinner in a remote African village. If he were doing a "corporate" buildup for clueless Joe User, sure. But your own hot gaming rig? Hell no.

  5. Re:Sigh, and so history repeats. on Inside Look at Pixar HQ · · Score: 0

    News flash, Google has fallen. They had an IPO not too long ago, and that is "selling out" in my book. They sell search rankings, FFS. Why is everyone still on Google's crotch?

  6. My thesis on Hindsight: Reversible Computing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    that I'm currently (in theory) working on is about inverting Turing machines...now this comes out. Creepy. Time to change the tinfoil.
