  1. Re:Nice, but... on Microsoft Open Sources F# · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are actually several .NET tools that are open source like NHibernate and NUnit.

  2. Re:I don't like syence fyction any more on The Science of Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    It's certainly got more fiction that a lot of the stuff on "SyFy". Not sure about science though

  3. Re:David Ahl on Land of Lisp · · Score: 1

    So just because you disagree with someone politically, they can't contribute positively to the field?

  4. Re:metaprogramming FTW! on Land of Lisp · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it speaks to the fact that its not very well taught. I've looked at learning LISP but just couldn't understand Abelson and Sussman.

  5. David Ahl on Land of Lisp · · Score: 1

    I remember David Ahl. I don't think he gets enough respect today for what he did for the industry with his magazines and books. BTW you can get the text of old articles from Creative Computing at: http://www.atarimagazines.com/

  6. Make money from the space station on Is the ISS Really Worth $100 Billion? · · Score: 1

    Want to make money off the space station? Use it to manufacture some trinket -- beads or something. And then sell them back here on earth. People will pay money for things from space.

  7. Re:Bias? on Blekko Launches a Search Engine With Bias · · Score: 1

    Have you actually listened to FOX, or are you just assuming that the propaganda regarding FOX is true?

  8. Re:It's true! on Mount Everest Gets 3G Service · · Score: 0

    I would call anyone who is willing to risk their life for me a hero. And that is exactly what police, fireman and soldiers do every day.

  9. Re:Let me guess on Verizon To Pay $25M For Years of 'Mystery Fees' · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of when Nintendo was sued for price fixing. People got a $5 coupon for Nintendo products!

  10. Let me guess on Verizon To Pay $25M For Years of 'Mystery Fees' · · Score: 1

    25 million people each get a dollar?

  11. Re:Oh, just great on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 5, Funny

    When Jesus comes back he's not coming to take sides, he's coming to take over.

  12. Who's going to read it? on WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    400,000 documents? We couldn't get people to read the 1000 page health care bill. Who's going to read these?

  13. Re:Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? on On Several Fronts, US Gov't Prepares To Regulate Online Privacy · · Score: 1

    "But I only watched 'Will And Grace' one time - one day. Wish I hadn't 'cause TiVo now thinks I'm gay" -- Weird Al

  14. Apple doesn't appreciate their JVM? on Apple Deprecates Their JVM · · Score: 1

    There, there, little JVM, it'll be alright.

  15. The fact that he's talking about it... on Steve Jobs Lashes Out At Android · · Score: 1

    If Jobs wasn't worried about Android, he wouldn't be making comments about it.

  16. Maybe someone was trying to teach him on Thief Returns Stolen Laptop Contents On USB Stick · · Score: 1

    Maybe it was all just a trick by his friends to teach him the importance of backing up. Like when a parent hides a kids bike to teach them they should put it up?

  17. Don't DDos on Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't have DDos'd them. I would have redirected all their traffic to Dr. Pepper's website so that their fans think they'd totally sold out.

  18. Choice is good for consumers on Steve Jobs Lashes Out At Android · · Score: 1, Insightful

    iOS does things one way, Android does things another way. Some people prefer one, some people prefer the other. Some like Coca-cola. Some like Pepsi. Just pick the one you want.

  19. I hope its not like wikibooks on What If We Ran Universities Like Wikipedia? · · Score: 1

    Will it end up like wikibooks.org? Where after five years a book still isn't complete? They start work and then reorg and start work and then reorg?

  20. Finally time for Linux desktop then on Desktop Linux Is Dead · · Score: 1

    I guess desktop Linux is about to reach critical mass then. Because every time someone declares something as "dead", it takes off. I remember when they declared Bluetooth dead and then it took off.

  21. iTunes for exploits? on New Site Aims To Be iTunes For Exploits · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you're going to start out selling exploits for 99 cents? And then create a(n expensive) portable device that people can buy to run your exploits on? And then become the market leader? And then introduce new models of your hardware? And then create an "exploit" store sdk so people can sell there own exploits? And them submit to exploit creators demands that the price be raised to $1.29? And then remove color from the user interface?
     

  22. New things always take a while on Huge Shocker — 3D TVs Not Selling · · Score: 1

    Any time a new technology comes out it is expensive and slow selling. When DVD Players came out and were $400 a piece, not everyone could afford to rush out and buy one. It was when the prices began to come down that they found wide spread acceptance.

  23. Where they got the space on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    They must have taken over Warehouse 12.

  24. Re:The missing piece on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 1

    With GSM and CDMA being around so long already, I don't see why there's not already cheap, off the shelf, radios that support both formats the phone markers can just pick and put in there phones.

  25. Re:Idiot poster bias on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 1

    This poster shows a large degree of "oppressed conservative persecution delusion disorder" where he thinks that the media is somehow protecting Obama by not explicitly calling him out (personally!) for everything done in his Administration.

    No. I just remember when Bush was in the Whitehouse and almost every related story on Slashdot did personally blame him.
