  1. Re:Have you noticed? on NY Bill Proposes Fat Tax On Games, DVDs, Junk Food · · Score: 1

    Kids don't play outside anymore. When I was a kid, my friends and I would go ride our bikes, go build a tree fort, play hide and seek, or play a million and one other games we made up on the spot. Sometimes we fell down, sometimes we got hurt, and once in a while we even learned something. These days everyone is so worried. "Won't somebody think of the children!" The Children are growing up with out learning that when you fall sometimes you get hurt. Here is a connection these so called experts never seem to figure out. Kids that go out side to play, get exercise, and (Imagine this.) they don't get fat. I weep for the future!

    Here in Orem, Utah there are tons of kids playing outside when the weather is nice..

  5. Re:Client-side opt-in site-support on Adblock Plus Maker Proposes Change To Help Sites · · Score: 1

    A button in Adblock would be cool to show seldom in one corner of the website to say "Support this site".
    Then it would download the ads but not show them ...
    ... As far as I know, most people don't use ad-blocking, so the ad companies won't get weird ideas to circumvent that.

    I think your ideas are great! Let's make a fork that does just this...it could be called "Covert Ad-Blocker Maximus". H O T !

  11. Sounds lucrative.. on Phantom OS, the 21st Century OS? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds lucrative.. not!

    At first, when I read the OP's post, I thought he was being harsh. Then I actually read TFA, and here are some highlights:

    Q: Is Phantom a POSIX-compliant system?
    A: No. It is possible to layer POSIX subsystem above the Phantom native environment, but it is not an idea per se.

    Q: OS is based on VM â" does it mean that not all the possible programming languages will be supported?
    A: Yes. Say goodbye to C and Assembler. On the other side, everything is in Java or C# now, or even in some even more dynamic language, such as Javascript or even PHP. All these languages will be supported.

    Then it also has a special ASM language called "Phantasm". Looking over the example code, the question "Why?" kept flashing in my brain.

    Ah, then we come to Why a new os?:

    The most obvious questions: why new operating system? Isnâ(TM)t Linux enough? Of course, Linux is not enough. Being a clone of Unix, Linux conceptually is a dinosaur. Donâ(TM)t be happy, Windows guys, Windows is not really far away. Lets see, what is wrong with todayâ(TM)s popular operating systems.
        >> OO-Friendly? No!
        >> Network friendly? No!
        >> Simple? No.
        >> Communication friendly? No!
        >> Future friendly? No!

    Okay, so according to the guy who created it, OS's should be simple, oo-friendly (my mom always says "Hey, stinky, why isn't my computer more object oriented?" (wtf?no), and future friendly? The guy must be just another cracked out developer..

    Thanks but no.
