  1. I don't know on Computer Competency Test For Non-IT Hires? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    But the place I work at gave me a computer with Ubuntu installed to use. I requested this after the McAfee incident last week. Apparently I'm the only one...

  2. Re:I don't buy this on US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction · · Score: 1

    It also costs more money to do these things in real life. I went fishing for salmon a few weeks ago: $70 for a boat ticket, $20 for rod rental, and $14 for a one-day fishing license. I didn't even catch any salmon that day!

  3. Re:Can someone explain to me .. on House Proposes Legalizing, Taxing Online Gambling · · Score: 1

    You're ugly and should go kill yourself. Happy now?

    Are we talking about gambling or Wall Street???

  5. Re:Yessiree! on Android Ported To iPhone · · Score: 1

    That's why there's "underrated." If mods would use this more often, it'd be less confusing.

    Oh? You mean like Standard Oil and AT&T?

  7. Re:Katla on Volcano Futures · · Score: 1

    Global warming and volcanoes are related.

    I could have sworn it was pirates.

    Oh good, something else for Goldman Sachs to get sued over: volcano-backed securities!

  9. Since I live in my parent's basement... on Adding Some Spice To *nix Shell Scripts · · Score: 2, Funny

    I use the usual: sed, [, wget, etc to automate downloads of pr0n.

  10. Re:Brutal civilization. on Cows On Treadmills Produce Clean Power For Farms · · Score: 1

    Yes. They're cheaper to make and people willing die so they can be eaten!

  11. Xen? on Virtualizing Workstations For Common Hardware? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But only if you have hardware virtualization support.

  12. Re:It's not the government's business... on Data Centers Push Back On US Efficiency Rules · · Score: 1

    First, name something that isn't a limited resource.

    Sunlight. At least it isn't a limited resource with regard to the human specie's lifetime. That's right, I'm favoring the extinction of humans prior to the the earth being engulfed by the sun as it turns into a red giant in 4 billion years.

  13. 2K38? on Something For (Almost) Every Developer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Would it hurt to just write 2038? No space is saved writing it the other way.

  14. A-list? What? on StarCraft Cheating Scandal Rocks Korea · · Score: 1, Funny

    Do these people have the tabloids after them? Leaked sex tapes by spurned beaus? Drug rehab every other month? No? How are they A-list celebrities then???

  15. Re:Steve Jobs Has Just Gone Mad on Adobe Evangelist Lashes Out Over Apple's "Original Language" Policy · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about? I can install MinGW (or any other free Windows compiler) and write programs without encountering any of these so-called demands that you speak of.

  16. Re:Who didn't see this coming? on Adobe Evangelist Lashes Out Over Apple's "Original Language" Policy · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you want to continue that line of reasoning, you can also choose not to buy product Y and use something else.

  17. Re:Unity3D not threatened. on Adobe Evangelist Lashes Out Over Apple's "Original Language" Policy · · Score: 2, Informative

    Except you might be in trouble if you use C# or Boo for your game script since the scripting is build on Mono!

  18. Who didn't see this coming? on Adobe Evangelist Lashes Out Over Apple's "Original Language" Policy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's Apple. For at least 10 years people have been saying that if Apple had MS's market share that things would actually be worse than they are now. Well, now we get a small hint of things to come. OTOH, perhaps Apple is so large now their left hand doesn't know what their right hand is doing.

    Links? I'd like to get my hands on an ARM system for $60!

    Kuro Box is more expensive. I like the Sheeva plug, I'm not usre if it's made anymore.

  21. Re:So let me get this straight... on DIY 80GB iPod Touch · · Score: 1

    OTOH, the Pogoplug looks like a nice, cheap device to mess around with an ARM-based device, cheaper than an iPod Touch or iPad.

    No, but it makes the words magically more visible to people who view this site at a higher threshold than '0' or otherwise block ACs.

    The US is no longer the only place that is a land flowing with opportunity and people willing to take a risk to make something new.

    Uhm, the US was never the only place of opportunity! There's most of Europe, much of South America, much of eastern Asia, Australia, etc.
