  2. Google Bars on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 1

    I am using Safari which as some know does have a built in Google toolbar. Although minimally featured, it does the job. The code behind this bar can be summed up as: Do exactly what the URL field does but add "www.google.com/search/" to what the user typed. So why is this news? WHY??

    But spacing lines by 10 would cause the program to run ten times slower, right? Right?

    Freeman told reporters at Sun Valley after making his presentation, which was closed to the press.

    I don't know, does Shanda think Microsoft will think it will fail where Slashdot think it will succeed? That would make the question more clearer.

  11. Re:Fan subs are responsible? on The Business of Anime · · Score: 1
    I think it has more to do with the fact that it looks very cheap and chintzy in comparison to traditional animation.

    The cinematic values in evidence are perverted. God, it's horrible. It reminds me of Malcolm in the Middle:

    The Mom: MALCOLM!!!!

    Kid: (foley sounds and dramatic pan) Uh?

    DO YOUR....CHORES!!!!

    (little kid) Mom always gets like this when Dad is away. I wonder why?

    I think a rule of thumb for designing new features specifically for the blind is that the addition of the feature does not interfere with the sighted users of the software.

  13. Sorry! Not News! on 164 Million Broadband Subscribers Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Let's break it down. 164,000,000 is the key number here. Now as we all know, a number must be Fully Rounded to make news. At first glance 000,000 seems to qualify the number. However we have all seen the last six digits of the number of broadband subscribers roll over 163 times before so it is not important, therefore we must examine the MSD's of the attempt to interest us. We have 164. Is this round, or at least a prime number? No. Since God speaks to us only in round numbers of His majesty we must therefore conclude that the news day was slow.

  15. My story on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 1
    I was hired by a very large but not too conservative software company when I was 19. I didn't have any college but I had released a series of Mac software applications that were very popular and polished. I found that, after the initial awkwardness of going from potsmoking teen to highly paid programmer, which lasted about a month and nearly got me fired, that my real experience designing software was about twenty times more valuable than the "degrees" of my coworkers. I outlasted quite a few team members there who just couldn't deal with new things.

    If you want my advice, you should immediately get a computer of your own and start hacking. Write something. Anything. Just code code code. Release something and provide support. Doesn't matter what! Write a checkers program, or a web browser from scratch. Or implement a garbage collector for C++, we could use one of those. Anything that challenges you.

  17. Ruby is quite cromulent. on Agile Web Development with Ruby on Rails · · Score: 4, Funny

    I particularly enjoy their persistable domain model (where logic and data are bound in one wrapping). The one-method-per-action-controller-request-router is sweet. And there's nothing like sending out forgotten passwords and invoices from easy-to-test email service layers on top of sendmail. To dust off an old chestnut, I welcome our new buzzword-crazed overlords. It's too bad that I already have a good job as a clown.

  19. Re:OMG on Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's newsworthy to us because of what the article doesn't say. You see, Microsoft is known for its absolute stranglehold over the OEMs. There were quite a few OSs that they wanted to ship. For example, BeOS. But MS had or has predatory licensing agreements, such as having to pay a Windows Tax for every PC even if it shipped with no OS at all. The fact that Michael Dellbert or whatever his name was comes out and says they'd sure like to ship OS X, just as if he was ordering a cheese sandwich, is the news.

  20. Re:Damn skippy. on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1

    Superman gave Batman a kryptonite ring because he was worried about what would happen if he got too pawned. One time Superman was mind-controlled by Poison Ivy (a batman villian) and the only way Batman and Catwoman could stop him was by pawning innocent people's lives ... Catwoman would push another person off a building and Superman would drop the fight and go save her. Batman said that his only advantage was that Superman was deep down, a good person, and Batman wasn't.

    Microsoft's software security push likes to be tied in a chair with a gag in its mouth, while its boyfriend makes love to another man in front of it.
