  6. Re:This makes me wonder... on A Snapshot of the Universe 3 Trillion Years From Now · · Score: 1

    No.

  7. Coffeebags! on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Like teabags, but with coffee. Better than instant, and almost as convenient. With my unsophisticated palate further refinements are wasted on me. I like my coffee, like I like my women, ground up and stored in the refrige--- wait a second, some thing's wrong there...

    There is no DNS problem that djbdns cannot solve. None! None I tell you! Don't listen to the heathens....

  12. Fording the strait on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    There used to be a land bridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bering_land_bridge. Why not fill in with rock? It's mostly 50m deep? Though I'm not sure if I am reading the chart right. I'm just curious, I am sure this has been considered and dismissed.

  13. Re:Go go Jack Thompson on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    That proves it! John Woo mode! He must have played video games.

  14. South Africa on US, Asia, Europe Ceding Web Dominance · · Score: 5, Informative

    The infrastructure is good here, but there is a monopoly carrier, Telkom. Bandwidth is so exorbitant overseas hosting is common. Unfortunately this is not likely to change soon. see http://www.hellcom.co.za/ for a Telkom hate site, or google "incompetent idiot", the first result is the one you want.

  15. 2000AD on Scientists Create Sheep That Are 15 Percent Human · · Score: 1

    Can Inspector Raam be far away?

  16. Read more Science Fiction! on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    Most stories solve this by having a priesthood ruling the people. Run by scientists or a AI. Ah, the eternal optimism of fiction!

    'Nuff said.

  22. Re:SLOC: Vista vs. Linux on Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped · · Score: 1
    Debian ... consists of thousands of modules ... I'd go so far as to guess that some of them made it in "by proximity" -- they were in the same directory as something useful, and someone came along and did a 'cp coolutility/* /distro/coolutility/*'.

    Heh. But why should Windows Vista be different from this? I've been on enough large software projects to see this syndrome several times.

  23. Re:Its inevitable on The End of Native Code? · · Score: 1

    In a template-metaprogramming language such as modern-idiom C++, what the JIT has to work with is the same as an intermediate representation of the compilation process. Why do you say that? The Java *implementation* of templates suffers from this loss of metadata. The .net bytecode does not.
