  2. Re:And You Wonder Why Amazon MP3 Only Works in the on iTunes Gift Card Key System Cracked, Exploited · · Score: 1

    We've shipped most of our jobs making actual products overseas.

    Like that one company that comes to mind. The one that brings us MacBooks, iMacs, iPods.

    Php, is fun,simple,advanced,and cool all at the same time, it is simple enough for the newbs,advanced enough to ..... snip

    On the upside, it'd be a lot harder for the Obama administration to misplace millions of e-mails...i mean Google does no evil!

    No conversations in the Trash. Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage?!

    vi and a web browser is good enough for me.

  8. More Tubes on The Web Braces For Inauguration Traffic · · Score: 1

    This is the solution. Add more tubes.

  9. Animal cruelty! on Tech Publisher O'Reilly Slashes Jobs · · Score: 1

    So what are all those cute little pandas, and snakes, and groundhogs, and camels, and loons going to do for work now? Life always was hard for the animal models getting in at the ground floor, but now it's even bleaker. Perhaps they can have an adopt an O'Reilly animal campaign.

  10. Re:pfft on Beginning iPhone Development · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is nothing sacred about a simple 'Hello World' application.

    I was told by my first C instructor that if we didn't do a Hello, World! application first, we would be thrown to the lowest depths of programming hell. I had no interest in taking such a risk at the time.

  11. Objective-C, not too bad... on Beginning iPhone Development · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you have a background in both C/C++, and in OOP. Otherwise, I'd suggest getting a little background in those first. I think it's slightly misleading to imply that this book is the best hand-holder in this regards.

  12. wha? on Nobel Winner Says Internet Might Have Stopped Hitler · · Score: 0

    It's reassuring to know that the internet can stop sociopathic tendency. *rolls eyes*

  13. crash on Nmap Network Scanning · · Score: 1

    The system crashing is not a bug.

    It is a feature.

  14. 2011, Israel, and Electric Cars on Hawaii Planning State-Wide Electric Car Network · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Hawaii, like the Netherlands, would care to wait until after 2011 and see how Israel's electric car initiative works out. It seems promising.

  15. less hardware with my software? on Grey Lines Mar MacBook Air Displays · · Score: 1

    For as long as Apple insists on the hardware + software model, they can expect to be taken to task for each and every hardware quality issue that pops up.

    But how many issues will it take until they consider a different approach?

    And what's up with Apple saying a firmware update will provide the fix? Is this a firmware issue?

    Please advise.

  16. Usefulness? on Prototype Scanner Detects Cancer In Under 1 Hour · · Score: 1

    Isn't this only useful if the cancer is already developed to the point where it is spilling cancer cells into your blood?

    IANAD but afaik, first the cancer cell must release itself from its primary tumor, and make its way through the walls of the blood vessel. Even once in the blood, it's thought that of many thousands and thousands of cancer cells that make their way through the unlikely trip into the bloodstream, only one or two will probably form a metastasis.

  17. yawn on Prototype Scanner Detects Cancer In Under 1 Hour · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The device still has to undergo clinical testing and trials before it can win regulatory approval."

    Meanwhile.... 14 years later...

  18. green? on Apple Hints At Future Liquid-Cooled Laptops · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How would this fit in with Apple's recent fascination to produce "green" notebooks? What is the environmental impact? Would disposing of them present any issues?

  19. Not even implied on Persistence Pays Off With Israel's First Windows Refund · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nowhere in this summary does it say he is a Jew. Just pointing out the obvious. There is a difference between the terms 'Israeli' and 'Jew'

  20. Dual-boot on Apple Says Macs Are Safe, No Antivirus Needed · · Score: 2, Informative
    The Apple Store description for Intego VirusBarrier X5 says this:

    Now that you've installed Windows on your Intel-based Mac, you're vulnerable to a whole new range of security threats: Viruses, spyware, adware, and hackers are all waiting to compromise your Windows setup. No matter if you're running Windows in Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, or VMWare's Fusion, it requires Windows-specific protection. VirusBarrier Dual Protection is the answer. It provides security for both Mac OS X and Windows, ensuring that you'll have total protection for both operating systems.

  21. An IP in every pot on New .tel TLD Now In Use · · Score: 1

    people are basically flushing those down the toilet by giving every device one (including their toilet).

    We may see that in the not too distant future

  22. It's in the Details on Apple Quietly Recommends Antivirus Software For Macs · · Score: 3, Interesting
    If you follow the apple store link in TFA, it's interesting to note the description for the first product (Intego VirusBarrier X5) says this:

  23. Re:Why MySQL? on MySQL in a Nutshell · · Score: 1

    I've asked people the same question, and the overwhelming response was lack of GUI tools to work easily with it. I'm personally indifferent which one I've got to work with.

    you mean 1:19

    I detect a conspiracy here. I know you are really just typing 911 in reverse.

  25. TIN?foil hats? on Mind Control Delusions and the Web · · Score: 1

    Tin foil hats are quite the style these days.

    The extent of this conspiracy is vaster than we think. They even have us mockers thinking that an aluminium foil hat is made of tin. Any expert will inform you that aluminium does not possess the protective qualities that authentic tin does. *puts on actual tin hat*
