  1. Re:What about copper? on Silicon As the New Lithium · · Score: 1

    well, they already did that.

    since people started selling "pennies" for scap metal (worth a lot more than a penny), the USA has replaced the copper pennies with copper-plated Zink pennies in 1982.

  2. this is called "out-sourcing" on Arrington's CrunchPad Dies · · Score: 1

    In other news:
    Somewhere in an asian bazaar you can now buy the first version of a $299 "CrumblePad" in either pink, lime green or yellow.

    Large volume container shipping will begin in January, and the "Disneay" branded child friendly version with preloaded pirated Disney movies dubbed to chinese is in the works.

    But doesn't his joke have some charm nevertheless?

    you're all just spouting out some useless quark!

  4. More (great) Android Books on Android Application Development · · Score: 2, Informative

    First off, let me admit that I have not yet read the Book reviewed here, but from reading the review, it sounds like it is targeted mainly to the "new to programming" crowd.

    I have started my Android Development career by reading Mark Murphy's "Busy Coder's" books, and gotten a lot of details out of his Tutorial book.
    http://commonsware.com/books.html

    I'm not affiliated with him, but I'd like to really recommend his books to any developer who has an existing background in either Java and wants to quickly get productive in Android Development.

    As an additional bonus, all of Mark's books are available electronically or as self-published printed paper back's.

    He himself is also a great guy and very active on the Google Android developer forums.

  5. Re:c't has always been wonderful on Dr. Dobb's Journal Going Web-Only · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ever since I left Germany i missed the "CT" magazine. DDJ never had nearly the breath of information compared to CT or IX. Time to look into "international delivery". This is the only magazine i'd actually PAY money for to get delivered. (DDJ and others usually were free subscriptions)

  6. Re:First hand acoount on China - We Don't Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    how is this different from preventing people to know what is REALY going on in Iraq? or in guantanamo? or in the CIA torture prisons?

  7. Re:How do you know if you've been rooted? on Is the Botnet Battle Already Lost? · · Score: 5, Funny

    check if there is a "start" icon in your left lower corner of the screen. if so - yes, chances are you have caught a virus, and your computer is taken over and controled by the dark forces.

    Holy shit!
    I'm having a core melt down of my monitor soon!!
    I just found a button on the front where i can adjust my output between 6000 Kelvin and almost 9500 Kelvin.
    argh!!!
    anyone here heared about Euler's constant lately?

  9. Re:Beside the point. on Google Faces Wall Street Revolt · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The window at which highlevel executives can sell shares is extremely small, and pre-regulated in advance. Those guys cant just call a broker and sell on a dime (unless they want to spend some time with Martha in the slammer) but they have to pre register their intent with the SEC. believe me - if there was any chance that Sergey knew or could foresee the dip at the time he registered his sale, he'd be in the Menlo Park PD in handcuffs right now. 'cause if anything - that is what the damn anal-ysts would love to see the most!

  10. Re:The abuse of language on Literacy Limps Into the Kill Zone · · Score: 1

    I'm tired of people who arrogantly use people who use one word sentences.
    Ok, what the hell are you trying to say here????
    i think you just proved the whole point in this sentence!
