  1. Re:Google's in C++? on Bjarne Stroustrups and More Problems With Programming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How could something that large and efficiency-dependent be written in non-native code?

  2. Stroustrups on Bjarne Stroustrups and More Problems With Programming · · Score: 5, Informative

    Please... he's one of the most influential people in the field of computer science today, at least spell his name right.

  3. Re:Nouns maybe? on The Math Behind PageRank · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Searching for pill and the pill should yield very different results. Yes nouns are more important, but articles and other words cannot be disregarded.

  4. Isn't this already being done? on Big Blue Designing Chip to Decode the Big Bang · · Score: 1

    And on a much larger scale? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

  5. 18 months? on AMD Announces 65-nm Chips, Touts Power Savings · · Score: 3, Funny

    The article says that AMD has a goal of catching up within 18 months to Intel's lead on the way to 45-nm technology. How are they already 18 months behind when they were ahead 4 months ago?
  6. Re:Real Experience on Bjarne Stroustrup on the Problems With Programming · · Score: 1

    I would be much more interested in the commentary of a front line warrior, than I would from a theoretical preacher Well he did CREATE the language....
  7. Re:If they really want to improve road safety on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Ban SUV's? Maybe we should start banning other unnecessary things too... like the internet, so morons like you don't annoy the rest of us.

  8. The goods on Ancient Astronomical Computer Decoded · · Score: 3, Informative
  9. "His presidential bid didn't go so well in 2000" on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    As I recall, he got the most votes.

  10. Microsoft? Boost? on Microsoft To Announce Linux Partnership · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft .... that gives a boost to Linux"

    a boost? When's the last time Microsoft's involvement changed anything for the better?

  11. Shouldn't it say on Alienware Admit Trying to Fiddle Reviews · · Score: 1

    "Dell Admit Trying to Fiddle Reviews" ?

  12. Switzerland on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    Every time I see an article like this [cnn.com], I truly feel as if I do not belong here.

  13. Re:Yep its great on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    Well I'm running Vista RC1. Some other things are strangley disfunctional as well... tinfoil hat?

  14. Yep its great on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    Except it deleted all my bookmarks from Firefox 1.5. Thanks.

  15. If not Intel... on Intel's Quad Core CPU Reviewed · · Score: 3, Interesting
    "We would like to make it clear that these samples were not provided by Intel"

    Then who were they provided by, exactly?

  16. Re:Proper enforcement is still key on How Retailers Watch You · · Score: 1

    Yep I worked at Office Depot, as a teenager as well: - No one except the store manager can accuse someone of shoplifting and/or take action - there were NO cameras anywhere - if the Manager accuses someone without actually seeing them take the item, he will lose his job

  17. Wait a minute on The Ad-Supported Operating System · · Score: 1

    You mean to tell me all these IE popups aren't bundled with Windows?

  18. duh nuh nuh nuh on Citizen Photographers v. The Police? · · Score: 1

    DUPE!

  19. Etrade Accout on Investing Tips for College Students? · · Score: 1

    I am just starting college and I have had an Etrade account for over a year now. I am 18, and not only have I made a few hundred dollars off an investment of $2500, but I've learned a lot about finances and business in general. I bought Transmeta at $1.32 and sold at 1.70, and am now a holder of Microsoft which is doing well. Do your research and place your 'bets' carefully, and the percieved risky bet turns into a calculated decision. If you don't feel comfortable with stock trading, Etrade has a very good "Money Market" account, which I view as a hybrid CD/checking account. It is high-yield (5.X%) account from which you can withdraw your money at any time.

    Just something to think about.

  20. Re:Fuck no. on ATI and AMD Seek Approval for Merger? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Why must all anti-ATI comments end with "on Linux" ?

    All you linux bedwetters need step into the real world. ATi, as far as my experience goes, has made solid GPU's. You represent a minority of ~5%, you do not rule the tech industry. Get over it.
