  1. Re:Huh? on Using Java In Low Latency Environments · · Score: 1

    Good points, and C++ has one thing going for it. Qt framework. Java-like interfaces for fast development, with C++ performance, and a minimal memory management.

  2. yeah you liked that short term cash you got on Nokia: Microsoft Must Evolve To Make Windows Phone a Success · · Score: 2

    with the "Deal"
    now we are on long term consequences, and everybody told you it is not a good idea to stick with !Win phone and nothing else.

  3. From C++ perspective on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Eclipse's gcc code parser integration is better than IntelliSense. It actually understand OO code. VS struggles badly with understanding OO code. for example, if every class re-implements one virtual function, VS cannot figure out usage of one particular implementation; even if there are object declared with that class.

    Thus VS is good for debugging, for everything else in C++... not much so.

  4. In other words... on Confirmed: Water Once Flowed On Mars · · Score: 1

    Martian Republican party once ruled on Mars ;)

  5. chance for microsoft on $5 Sensor Turns LCD Monitors Into Touchscreens · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Because otherwise nobody would pay extra for a touch screen PC with Windows 8

  6. Re:And the data center will... on Facebook Revealed As Behind $1.5B "Catapult" Data Center In Iowa · · Score: 1

    Unless you block them (ahem, hosts file), they do have data on you... it is enough to browse any web page that has deal with Facebook so that they have data on you.

  7. great until it hits something on AirBurr UAV Navigates By Crashing Into Things · · Score: 1

    that won't be able to tolerate being hit. Like a child. Or drying concrete. Or another UAV.

  8. awesome - less hardware sales on Retail Copies of Office 2013 Are Tied To a Single Computer Forever · · Score: 1

    And less money for Microsoft.
    Now one more reason to stick with what you got & not buy a new PC with a new Microsoft OS in it. It will cost you even more.

    Hell, most regular people are still struggling with fact that Windows != Office. They don't get it why office costs as much as it does.

    Could it be that Microsoft is OEM-ing Office just like they did Windows on retail computers? It is cheaper than the full retail license, but it is less flexible in the end.

  9. will U will be *initially* sold at a loss on Nintendo's Wii U Will Be Sold At a Loss · · Score: 1

    and later it will make good profit. All these consoles were like that. once manufacturing of these components gets full steam, they get cheaper in a mass number.

  10. Re:Strange on Riot Breaks Out At Foxconn · · Score: 5, Funny

    You might find it, but it might not be where you expect it.

  11. iMaps on Iran Set To Block Access To Google · · Score: 1

    They did not ban Google Maps, afterall censors are not that sadistic.

  12. change genre of games you play on Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand? · · Score: 1

    Play turn based strategies and adventures. Most of them need just mouse or keyboard. You can use both with one hand - one at a time.

  13. Re:Yay!!! on Samsung Expected To Sue Apple Over iPhone 5 LTE Networking · · Score: 1

    I have a patent on filling of patents. Thus your patent is invalid.

  14. Shouldn't worry about IE 10 on Apache Patch To Override IE 10's Do Not Track Setting · · Score: 0

    Microsoft wants back on browser market at any cost. So this was thing to differentiate IE from rest of pack.

    Other one was to support only few Windows versions. Haha. How stupid. They want to win the browser war by not supporting OSes that half of people have.

  15. We're joke on IDT and Intel Join Forces For Wireless Charging · · Score: 4, Insightful

    70 yrs after death of Tesla we're not able to figure wireless power distribution.

  16. Seriously on RIM CEO Says Company 'Seriously' Considered Switch To Android · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You failed as CEO. Google gives you all apps for multimedia, so you don't have to do anything there. But they give you 0 enterprise apps, so that is what you could have done. Its not like corporations are going to pirate your apps and risk being sued.

  17. Re:uBI and aCTIVision do it too on EA Outs Battlefield 4, Plans To Charge $70 For New Games · · Score: 2

    I paid $23 for The Orange Box, which had 3 games. My total play time across all of them is around 1,000 (thousand) hours.

    Sorry, your explanation makes some sense, but in the end, you are paying for overpriced product and more profits are going to EA's exec pockets.

  18. Re:Just buy new hardware! (NOT) on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) Won't Support Some 64-bit Macs With Older GPUs · · Score: 1

    Stop talking shit of things you know nothing of, I didn't even mention the model name.

  23. Re:Imagine on Apple Auto-Disables Old Flash Players In Mac OS X 10.7.4 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    what, you mac is great because it can run Windows?
    Then Windows PC is as good if it can run OSX.

    But it is actually better. I don't need OSX for anything, and you just admitted that you need Windows or Linux.

  24. Journalist telling me how product he uses on 12 Ways LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word · · Score: 5, Insightful

    is better than one he does not use.

    Not defending Word here, but MS PR can also write article '12 ways word tops writer'.

  25. They are afraid of GPL on How Big US Firms Use Open Source Software · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most companies are afraid to derive products from projects with GPL license, in fear that they will have to share all their code (even unrelated) with customers, and that exact obligation from license is unclear, and might change in court.

    Now, article seems to be more about using SW tools developed with GPL license; not developing their own products from GPL components. That is lesser issue.
