  1. silver bullet metric on Let Big Brother Hawk Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    Robert Hansen (RSnake) recently wrote a thought invoking post about the diminishing return of a security product as it's volume of use increases. I suggest the read. http://ha.ckers.org/blog/20090424/silver-bullet-metric/

  2. Re:Call him Monkey Boy all you want on Sony Makes It Hard To Develop For the PS3 On Purpose · · Score: 1

    On that note, developers that strive to become great PS3 platform programmers have the opportunity to make more money because they have a skill set that is not easily obtained but is desired by their employers.

  3. Re:I thought we already had this option... on ESPN's Play To Make ISPs Pay · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of sites like Channel 4. I wonder if the reason for limiting content to the UK and the Republic of Ireland is also strictly monetary. http://www.channel4.com/video/the-it-crowd/catchup.html

  4. Re:It wont even install for me on Reading Google Chrome's Fine Print · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whew, thank you for the translation. Now I understand.

  5. Re:Heh on Giant Sheets Of Dark Matter Detected · · Score: 1

    And here I was under the impression that when you come in contact with the dark matter object you're trading it and you annihilate. Maybe I just haven't had enough experience with dark matter...

  6. Re:Tough project on Best Practices For Process Documentation? · · Score: 1

    The same reason most people want to be promoted.

    Increased benefits and paychecks... That's enough motivation for me.

    If I document the stuff I hate doing I can eventually have someone under me do it instead.

  7. Re:Just give us back Google Video on High-Quality YouTube Videos Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Hmmm apple tv responsible?

  8. Re:just read this guy's wikipedia on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    "Come on in and pay whatever you want" I saw it more like: "Come on in and take a cheap party favor. If you like any merchandise you see; we have a box set for $82.81."

  10. Re:Good grief on Man Hacks 911 System, Sends SWAT on Bogus Raid · · Score: 1

    If only government provided a protected disclosure almost like the Good Samaritan law. You help someone that is choking and crack a rib you're protected by law. Why this can't be applied to computers. Having a private company provide disclosures have too many issues to contend with that can not easily be resolved.

  11. Re:What about stupid fashinista culture? on Berners-Lee Challenges 'Stupid' Male Geek Culture · · Score: 1

    Heh, I counter your "If you're a really a good engineer, perhaps you don't need to stay all night. " with.

    If you're a great engineer and don't need to stay at work all night. Just imagine what you could do if you did stay all night!

  12. Lasers? on Hubble Camera Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    Blah blah blah, atmosphere this and that. Lets get off of our one track minds and develope other means of solving problems. So, the atmosphere is in your way. Do it the American way and blast the atmosphere out of the picture. We already have blur correction to deal with turbulance. I know I've seen Lasers used to litteraly create a hole in the atmosphere. I must admit I wasn't able to quickly find any articles on lasers used this way, however it may not be some magical Harry Potter crap as much as a more simple approach of simply blasting it out of the way.
