  6. Re:Just took a look at the video on Logfiles Made Interesting with glTail · · Score: 1

    Once the site is slashdotted.. wtf? come on, what is your hit rate? million hits a day?

    are they going to make fortune with this single user?!
  7. what you have to do is on Linux on the Desktop Doubles in 2007 · · Score: 1

    let me tell you something. If you want linux to succeed, then all you need are the following things.

    1. _better_ graphics. move your graphics related code to kernel, or, to processor, users do not care, finally, it is usability that counts.

    2. two desktop themes, one like windows, and, another one like mac os x (and, may be their varients).

    3. configurable keyboard shortcuts. don't ask your users to learn new set of keyboard shortcuts.

    4. better browser, email client, wordprocessor, spreadsheet, presentation tool

    5. that's it.

    still if it doesn't work, improve the above.

  8. Better mouse on Big Brother Really Is Watching Us All · · Score: 1

    We'll scan a person with one of these things and tell what they're actually thinking. why building better mice?
  9. ultra-sonic shock? on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Oh, no! I already doubted this. It is DOOMSDAY-DEVICE!! thats it, we are done!!!

  10. Re:Who's your daddy? on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    they can come in and rebuild as soon as it cools. With a Russian economy that is growing at 7-8% per year, they are capable of big rebuilding projects, so this is a rather useful weapon. what? rebuilding? so you mean, Russians completed building Russia, and now they are ready to destroy and build other countries, right?
  11. Re:or fix the bugs :) on Good Ways To Join an Open Source Project? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Andrew Morton has said it before, and it holds best: "What do I do if I want to be a kernel hacker?". His answer: "fix bugs". But wait, what if I want to create my own bugs?! :(
  12. Re:Pretty cool on Plan 9 Running on Blue Gene · · Score: 1

    Just see the success of virtual machine based interpreted languages.

    I don't know anything about Limbo / DIS virtual machine, but I guess, we can see some successful virtual machine based operating systems (for PC) in near future. With all the processing powers and increasing processor cores, this is not impossible anymore.

  13. wanna read EULA, but why? on Gateway Customer Sues to Get His PC Fixed · · Score: 1

    Why in this world anyone wants to read EULA?!

  14. Just wanted to make sure... on Moore's Law for Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Is is water cooled?

  15. Thin-clients need not be this thin on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 1

    We expect more from browsers. Off-line contents / history are not just enough to serve those purposes. It needs some more features like, access to storage and much sophisticated client-side control, much like client-side sand box models.

  16. Why food, water, or, air! on Surprising Further Evidence for a Wet Mars · · Score: 1

    Repeat, Why a _living_ thing need to eat food, drink water, or, breath air to _live_? Is is just because we, living things in earth, used to do that. Can't you think beyond these eat/drink/breath stuffs? If it is not possible for us to live in a place with temperature around 2000 K, why we have to think in the same way for other _living_ things? :(

  17. Re:Question on how PRAM works and is manufactured on Intel Set To Demo PRAM · · Score: 1

    It's not unlimited in writing. It's got an expected life of 10^8 writes/reads. 10^8 writes/reads?! Do _reads_ also count?!
  18. Features or Fixes on Java Generics and Collections · · Score: 1

    Any features included to the language, after the first release, would hardly be called as features. They just are fixes for incomplete first release. Either language designers were not aware of these already existing features (obviously, this can not be true), or, they chose not to include those features to the language.

  19. Thin client need not be this thin on Can Web Apps Ever Truly Replace Desktop Apps? · · Score: 1

    It is obvious that, web-applications would be better, if web-clients can provide some more functionalities. May be a restricted (memory, processes and file) sandbox to execute code in client side. We need to depend on, for example, java for this.

  20. Re:More likely on Fermi Paradox Predicting Humankind's Future? · · Score: 1

    • Earth is the right distance from the sun
    • Earth has the right atmosphere
    • Earth has the right gravity
    Why _living_things_ need sun, atmosphere or gravity? Why isn't possible for a _living_thing_ to exist without these sun, etc.? Should always everyone depend on these things what we depend on?
  21. We are not... on Fermi Paradox Predicting Humankind's Future? · · Score: 1

    "The Fermi paradox says that if extraterrestrial civilizations exist, at least one of them should have colonized the entire galaxy by now.

    But, we are not extraterrestrials!
  22. Building adjacent cells on Regrowing Lost Body Parts Getting Closer All the Time · · Score: 2

    If a cell contains all information about how to build the adjacent cells, and there are available all required ingredients (?!) to build adjacent cells, then the cell can start building the adjacent cells and so on. Is it right?!

  23. Re:Well duh on Did Gates Fib About H1-B Salaries? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you have 10 years experience in anything in computing and if you are _really_ working, then you would have made some tens of thousands of mistakes and learned something which you can not learn in any other ways. To make good number of mistakes, you need good amount of time.

  24. Re:Multiple Hash Functions on A Competition To Replace SHA-1 · · Score: 1

    ... H(x) = SHA1(x) || RIPEMD160(x) ... ?!

    How strong are the following hashing functions?

    H(x) = SHA1(SHA1(x))
    H(x) = RIPEMD160(RIPEMD160(x))
    H(x) = SHA1(RIPEMD160(x))
    H(x) = RIPEMD160(SHA1(x))
  25. To make everyone live longer on Nobel Prize Winners Live Longer · · Score: 1

    Give nobel prize to _everyone_. If you think, it is not cost effective, revise nobel prize monetary reward, such that it would cost nothing to do so. Everyone wins.
