  1. Re:Obvious fix on Small Object Hit Space Shuttle Last Month · · Score: 1

    "How about some sort of shortwave radar system that tracks inbound threats, combined with a fast-firing gatling gun that shoots thousands of projectiles per second at the incoming material in order to deflect or destroy it."

    Great Idea - put thousands of more little chunks of metal in orbit. If you aimed it right the shuttle could orbit into them in a matter of hours.

  3. Great Sentence - save for term paper on Code Generation in Action · · Score: 1

    From a link in the post....

    For those not in on the new lingo, a design smell is a heuristic experience-based signal to an engineer that bad decisions about the logical or physical design of the system have been made upstream from the implementation..

    and

    Why do people use computers? We use computers because they make us more productive. Using a word processor is more efficient than writing a manuscript in pencil. An electronic spreadsheet is more efficient, accurate, and valuable than its paper counterpart

    Delphi generates just the right amount of code.

  10. Good bye Intuit on Updating Quickbooks Forces Online Membership? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good bye Intuit,

    I loved you for years. I used to use you to see how to write a great UI for a GUI back when I was going from programing for DOS to Window$. I also thought the world of you cause back in the 80's you were very well done, lean and mean, and you were a cheap date, and NOT married to Micro$oft - even though the Feds had to stop the marriage.

    We have been together for years - you sent out many thousands of dollars of invoices for me and kept the old check book under control. Quicken, Quickbooks, and TurboTax have been on every PC I have had over these many years.

    But when I upgraded from some 90's version of yourself to Quicken 2003 Premier Home and Business things did not feel like they used to. I did not need Quickbooks anymore, and I felt like your were not a part of my life as much as you were after my money (now you wanted to know my total net worth.)

    AND YOU REJECTED MY MAIL IN REBATE.

    Good bye Intuit

    Bad numbers... Total square kilometers does not have anything to do with it. I would guess that a third of the western US has no coverage because of sparse population. So your logic is flawed...

  14. obvious answer on HP Uses DMCA To Quash Vulnerability Publication · · Score: 1

    "That public disclosure drew the ire of Kent Ferson, a vice president in HP's Unix systems unit, who alleged in his letter on Monday that the post violated the DMCA and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act."

    HP / Bruce - the answer is obvious - you got too many VPs and not enough programmers. Fire Kent Ferson and hire me - at his salary.
