  1. Gaining Popularity on Using the Ruby Dev-Tools plug-in for Eclipse · · Score: 1

    My employer (a major high-tech corporation) has recently been encouraging the use of this plug-in for Eclipse. From what I can see, RDTs will take off in the near future!

  2. Negation of a negative on Jack Thompson Rescinds Offer · · Score: 5, Funny

    So a satirical response to a satirical comment gives us what...

    Ah, the irony!

  3. Back On Track? on New Hopes From Sun's Idea Factory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What determines when a company is "Back On Track"? In my opinion Sun was doing things right months ago... yet if you look at their stock (what really matters to a company) you'd never know it!

  4. Negative Effects? on Indie Game Developers See Big Opportunity · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am not convinced that games going mainstream is necessarily a good thing! As more and more average Americans start playing video games in their spare time, the lucrative market video game creators will target will also change. Pretty soon games like Halo will be on the back burner to "every day games" free of killing and other evils. Could this mean a world full of The Sims knockoffs?

  5. Key Milestone on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I believe this to be a major milestone in the way we view entertainment - more significant then even the mainstream growth of PVRs. This is the first step in a whole new direction for the industry as a whole, 5-7 years down the road I strongly believe that the average American will pay for what they watch, not for a given channel. This will also have a major effect on television advertising - where do ads fit into this new model?

  6. Stored Procedures on MySQL 5 Production in November · · Score: 0

    For any developers that use stored procedures on a regular basis, you will appreciate how significant a step forward in the right direction this is! The investor in me thinks Oracle stock might be a good thing to buy :)

  7. Realism vs. Style on The Future of Videogame Aesthetics · · Score: 0

    They are not opposites, infact they compliment one another quite well!

  8. Pathetic Fallacy on BSDForums Interviews Scott Long · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Scott LONG... long as in the length of time it is going to be until 6.0 is released. It was June... then August... now they are saying the August deadline has slipped *yawn*.

  9. Oh Google... on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does it really take the brightest minds to fix this problem?

    if (IP == Taiwan){
      Label as independent
    }
    else {
      Label as province of China
    }

  10. Lossless??? on Linux Gains Lossless File System · · Score: 0

    I don't find the article explains the whole "lossless" concept very well. Is this lossless as in "my gmail emails are lossless" or is this lossless as in "my Escalade is lossless (because when it gets stolen or lost I call onstar and they find it for me)"

  11. Why PDF? on Yahoo Competes with Google in Book Scanning · · Score: 0, Interesting

    An OS solution would be better would it not? 10 years down the road when everything is in PDF format, whose to stop them from charging us to view material in their format?

  12. Poor Investment. on Venture Capital in Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Investing in OSS hoping that the product gets bought out by someone bigger is like buying an over-valued stock hoping to cash in on the divident and then jump ship... it works a small percentage of the time and every time it doesn't work you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

  13. This is News? on LispM Source Released Under 'BSD Like' License · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The permissioned release of 25 year old code is /. news now? This code is worthless IMO

  14. Re:Oh the irony on Clustering vs. Fault-Tolerant Servers · · Score: 1

    Indeed... the only thing that comes to my mind is the saying: I Cluster Therefore I Am!
