  1. Re:Their equipment, their choice. on Germany To Grant Privacy At the Workplace · · Score: 1

    no its not like saying that. You don't own your employees. In reality they are wage slaves but still sovereign being.

  2. Re:Repositories for the win on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    I actually liked the way they packaged it in ubuntu. The eclipse update manager is the best way to installing plugins and manage updates for it. All you have to do then is add the "repos" in eclipse, search for the plugins you want.. and bobs your uncle. They probably cant have all those plugins in the ubuntu repos due to license restrictions as well as they seem to be worked on quite regularly.

  3. Re:The value of an ivy league education on Ivy League Computer Science Curricula Exposed · · Score: 1

    wow.. this is what education has been reduced to. the breeding ground for capitalists. infact thats probably the main reason why i hated my computer science degree... they kept on talking about how what they are teaching me is useful for the market.. what the fuck do i care about the market..i went to learn shit. wasted 4 years learning absolute crap that they should have taught some one doing a business major. and here you all are gloriously gloating about your damn ivy league schools.. you know what.. its not even worth it.. out

    you mean most of the human population is slaves??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery

  5. Re:Our language is base ten on The Largest Recorded Tsunami Was 50 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    our number system comes from the old arabic number systems. If you look at all cultures in the world you will see not all of them had number systems. and some of them had but very primitive. vast things (such as men in armies ) would be compared with stars in the sky or sand in the desert (something like that in the bible if i remember correctly.) The roman numbering system was too complex and clumsy. hi mom what are you doing on xi june? Although where the arabic number system comes from could very well be from our fingers and most probably is. if we somehow where raised with a base64 number system from birth there wouldnt be much need for long rational numbers :P

  6. Re:Likely Reasons on Why Are the Best and Brightest Not Flooding DARPA? · · Score: 1

    its all good to say that..but seriously where do you draw the line by who to AssAssInate and who not to. Right now i would say mugabe trumps any list and is probably doing more harm to his own people and to the southern african economy that sudam was at the time in his region before the war.

  7. Re:IP is the most important issue facing us in the on H.R. 4279 Would Establish Federal IP Cops · · Score: 1

    a tiger? in africa???

  9. socialised medicine on President Bush Signs Genetic Nondiscrimination Act · · Score: 1

    I really dont get it. I dont understand statements like "I don't want t pay for someone elses bad genes." Indeed a true reflection of your humanitarian self. Maybe Socialised medicine needs to be renamed to something more friendly to the ears of the communist fearing USA. I mean canada has it, france has it, the uk has it. wait infact most 1st world countries have it. Wait...even cuba has it.. Are you actually also trying to say that if someone cant afford to pay for medication they should die. if a homeless person cant afford to get his kidneys looked at because of all the crap he eats and drinks he should die? He choose to be poor? he choose to eat your leftovers and live in the freezing cold? Sounds like an intelligent choice. You work hard and YOU deserve the best health care money can buy.. yes you do, you go american man. show the world a land of freedom, freedom from what? freedom from being a slave to your economy and government. Why should you care about anyone else. The world revovles around you and the working class mean nothing. pfft.. what i wrote made no sense to me. its starting the get this way in south africa as well.

  10. Re:Not africa's biggest problem on Africa - Offline And Waiting for the Web · · Score: 1

    Well we would be able to get better prices for our produce but we all know the story about the north american and european farm subsidies that is crippling africa..but hey i guess people have to look after their own interests. We actually do need the telecommunications industry beefed up a lot more.. we actually loose a lot of business due to the fact that the internet infrastructure is so bad. Our digital connections here in South africa are really going to have to be beefed up if we are serious about the soccer world cup in 2010.

    I cannot speak for other african countries but i can say for certain in south africa that progress is being prevented by our main national operator that owns all the fixed lines in the country. Telkom is da devil

  11. Re:Two Reactions on Homeland Security says 'Patch Windows Now' · · Score: 1

    Its not that africa has weak governments at all. And if they do its not by choice. Countries that are poverty stricken are so becuase of countries like the USA "raping" africa. Food aid prevents local farmers from selling produce locally. Food subsidies in the European Union but more so in the USA prevent african farmers from selling their goods in the USA. Africa exports natural resources imports commodities. So it comes back to the US government being bad bad bad!!!

    The metric that an organizations intelligence being inversely proportional to its size sounds very convincing but you dont need the whole organization to brew up something nasty nasty. You only need a handfull of people. The pawns never know what the king is up to.

  12. Re:Sue The Parents on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    That would be retarded... you cant sue people for being too stupid to be able to raise their kids.. in fact this kid should be "exhaulted" (however you spell that) ..he was cleanly and safely erased his stupid genes from the gene pool at just the right age...he has clearly made the world a better place by removing himself and any possible future dumbasses from being born... Darwin Awards for the win Now all thats left is teh parents for suing Blizzard becuase they were clearly unable to see that their child was unable to differentiate a couple of pixels on the screen to reality

  13. Re:The code wasn't changed on Hyperthreading Hurts Server Performance? · · Score: 1

    No Program Should EVER have to interfere with memory management ....that is the job of the os and it should stay that way. Sure you can squeeze more out of your processor by taking a shortcut here and there if you are a programming guru. But guru's are scarce, and to produce faultless code that deals directly with memory management is nearly impossible. If you want better performance for your SQL then i suggest you invest in a nice heavily multithreaded OS. Its no secret that windows is really bad at multiprocessing. They only introduced multithreading post windows 93 where as these unix gurus have been doing it since the 1970's. At the moment that part of windows is really bad. With luck in the future there will be improvement
