  1. Scientology and Scientologists... on Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...are all a bunch of child molestors and rapists (in my opinion). It is my belief, that Scientologists have gay sex with children on a daily basis and are the people behind nearly all that is evil in the world!

  2. He isn't dumb-ass! on Richard Stallman Warns About Non-Free Web Apps · · Score: 1

    Look at what he is saying:

    • Give browser a standard way of notifying user what license is in effect for a given piece of JS code distributed as part of an "On-Line" app
    • Give browser ability to allow user to configure easily to use alternate JS at user's discretion if the license permits it

    Where does that dictate terms to you? Don't be a jack-ass!

    Now, I can, as a user easily decide whether I want to use (and/or depend upon) your service based upon what license you choose to use for your JS. If I don't like YOUR terms, I can say, No, I won't use it and take by business elsewhere.

    How is this dictating terms to you again?

    Didn't think so! Now STFU!

    Those with strong religious beliefs generally believe they are "Special" and usually are incredibly selfish (in my experience). They generally see any acceptance of their own mortality as an admission that they're really not that special after all.

  7. This sort of thinking... on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    ...is absolutely foolish! Think about what you are saying. "I don't want to have to ever eat crow and explain why something took longer than originally thought. I'd rather always get an overly long estimate and stick to it that way I don't have to look stupid/incompetent or like I can't manage." Grow a pair loser. Learn how to set expectation and how to communicate when those expectations change and why. All the whining so called managers make about "expectations" shows them to be completely useless and that they have nothing to contribute to the overall process (this from a Project Manager). Most PM's I've met are completely useless and have nothing of value to contribute. Most are in their positions, like executives and managers of any stripe, because they have charisma (symetrical features, tall, etc) and know how to tow the company line. They couldn't bring a project to fruition without the people actually doing the work if they're life depended on it. MBA's are a total fucking joke. Look what these fucktards have managed to do to the economy and society. They're a bunch of fucking shills that need to be put up against the wall and shot!

    Read the POSIX specification. Any developer of applications that need on-disk data integrity already knows this! The KDE/GNOME developers (and many others) have just gotten lazy about doing things properly. They now need to fix the Gnome/KDE libraries and applications to NOT do stupid things!

    All of the following are valid implementations of a "Data Base":

    • A series of ASCII Flat-Files in a hierarchy of folders
    • An XML File

    • PostgreSQL
    • MySQl
    • MS-SQL Server
    • Oracle

    Only some of those mentioned above are "RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS" that support SQL-style DDL (Data Definition Language) and DML (Data Modification Language) and DQL (Data Query Language). That doesn't make any of the other myriad of possibilities (Object Databases, Registries, Gnome Config, Berkley DB, custom whaznath binary flim-flam database) any less of "Data Bases".

    You simply possess a very limited understanding of what a Database is.

  23. Yep. on The Incredible Shrinking Operating System · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The Linux Kernel handles that automatically. Just because a process is in the process table, doesn't mean it is running. In fact, most processes are "sleeping" most of the time. When they are "sleeping" they are candidates for paging out. The kernel will do this if memory requirements exceed available physical RAM. In fact, the executable image itself is just "mmapped" to virtual memory and when needed to be "paged-out" it happens painlessly by marking the physical page as available and the virtual page as "swapped". If the virtual page is needed again, it is read from the on-disk image as needed.

    So, to answer your question: IT ALREADY DOES THAT!
