  1. Re:Getting screwed in both directions on Microsoft May Back Off of .NET Languages · · Score: 1

    I have a saying at work: Corporations are so afraid of doing wrong they are unable to do anything at all. I do however understand those who put the rules in order, languages with duck typing is for mashing out prototypes quick and easy so that the real product can be made in a strong typing language, its never right the first time anyway.

  2. Re:Actually, the USA isn't all that corrupt. on Intuit Still Fighting Government Tax Software · · Score: 1

    I think corruption usually refers to exchange of personal financial gain for providing services in an official capacity, for example bribes, kickbacks, sending government contracts to a company for which you sit on the board, stuff like that.

    Like paying for a senators election campaign.

  3. Re:Reminds me of some windows progs back in the da on Oracle's Java Company Change Breaks Eclipse · · Score: 1

    Its not a proper mount point, its almost a proper mount point, a lot of bugs appear if you use it, atleast in XP and win2003.

  4. Re:Hm... on If You Don't Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink · · Score: 1

    It is only allowed to have a pink car if its a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado.

  5. Re:IBM PCs compared extremely poorly with Amigas on The Amiga Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    Yes, on an Amiga that costed ten times more than the PC.

  6. Re:8 bits are not enough on The Chipophone — an 8-Bit Chiptune Organ · · Score: 1

    On the contrary, less is more! Like a 4k into is more awesome than a 64k (and 256B is so awesome it hurts)

  7. Re:Did anybody post this yet? on Google Engineer Decries Complexity of Java, C++ · · Score: 1
    Did you miss the closing section?

    We can and do build tools that make simple tasks simple for more people, but let's not let most people loose on the infrastructure of our technical civilization or force the professionals to use only tools designed for amateurs.

  8. Vuvuzela on Parasite Correlated With World Cup Success · · Score: 1

    The obvious correlation is that the other teams got disturbed by the vuvuzelas and played badly. (I havn't seen more than a few minutes, thats all the vuvuzela music I can take)

  9. Re:Isn't this standard practice at auctions? on Amazon Seeks 1-Nod Ordering Patent · · Score: 1

    My first thought was Paddington at the auktion.

  10. Re:Hooch on The Race To Beer With 50% Alcohol By Volume · · Score: 1

    Utopias is quite tasty, but nothing I would drink more than 2cl of (1cl is probably a good serving)

  11. Re:"It's that simple" on New iConji Language For the Symbol-Minded Texter · · Score: 2, Funny
  12. Re:Sigh... apple on iPad Steering Wheel Mount · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, much like chicken race is safer in a modern car than on a motorcycle or russian roulette is safer with one bullet than with five.

  13. Re:In what language does =/= mean not equal? on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 1

    Math is what you are looking for. But the programming language speed has it.

  14. Re:Brilliant. Go Steve! on Inventor Demonstrates Infinitely Variable Transmission · · Score: 1

    Because removing a simple inexpensive part with a very complex one is a sure way to improve reliability and maintenance costs?

  15. Re:Computers are a commodity on Blurring Lines — Dual Core Atom To Lift Netbooks · · Score: 1

    When it calls me Dave.

  16. Re:Make lemonade on Recourse For Draconian Encryption Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Bullshit! err I mean [citation needed] (they will surely get to invoice enough to cover health insurance etc. they will surely buy a corvette instead but that is not the point)

  17. Re:Don't become another statistic on Was Flight Ban Over Ash an Overreaction? · · Score: 1

    or move to a city where such things do not happen.

  18. Re:I don't need on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip, just downloaded scratch ant played with it, nice.
    Then I started implementing sex games in it (but I need to replace the kitten sprites)

  19. Re:They pay the bills, so STFU on Website Mass-Bans Users Who Mention AdBlock · · Score: 1

    I refuse to run an adblocker, the sites I go to need the income. I refuse to go to sites with obnoxious ads, they don't deserve my visit anyway.

  20. Re:+1 Agree demos suck. on Crytek Thinks Free Game Demos Will Soon Be Extinct · · Score: 1

    No way, public betas suck. You can not know if they will fix the horrible bugs or not. I buy lots of games, most however after trying a evaluation copy from tpb or a demo. Magazines are irrelevant from a consumer viewpoint but can be fun to read anyway.

  21. Re:iPad on iPad Review · · Score: 1

    Whatever happens we all win. (flash dies or ipad dies)

  22. Re:not enough data on Toyota Accelerator Data Skewed Toward Elderly · · Score: 1

    Ebreak uses a separate set of breaks om many cars (all the cars I have had have disc breaks on all four but ebreak were drum breaks)

  23. Re:Screen Size on Code Bubbles — Rethinking the IDE's User Interface · · Score: 1

    I think the ide works well for students debugging their tiny hello world -projects (or maybe junior programmers in someone elses spaghetti code), but serious professionals can visualize more than the code visible on the tiny bubble desktop in their head. There were some nifty features, but I consider it a toy for the most part.

  24. Re: What You Get When You Buy a $40 iPhone In a Ba on What You Get When You Buy a $40 iPhone In a Bar · · Score: 1

    Not much, both are probably stolen and or fake. It is the price not the place.
