Comment Ben Affleck? (Score -1, Flamebait) 58

First off, I loved your work in Alias. I hope it makes it to the big screen someday. Anywho, I understand you're married to Ben Affleck. Now, I assume he's homosexual and you're just his beard but wikipedia says you have three kids. Is Matt Damon the father? I mean, allgedly Affleck and Damon wrote Good Will Hunting together but we know it was really Matt (while Ben smoked up and ate cheetos). So I figure he probably fathered your kids and that asshole Affleck is once again taking credit he doesn't deserve.

Comment Short term: No. Long term: yes (Score 1) 362

Here's the thing... Tesla doesn't sell cars, they sell California ZEV credits to other car companies. (Kind of like how GM wasn't a car company, they were a health care company for retired auto workers that made money by flipping auto loans and sometimes made cars). If the ZEV credits dry up (changes in the law or other companies producing a popular ZEV vehicle), they're fucked and will need to find another line of business, ie manufacture batteries and operate charging stations.

Comment node.js + mongodb! (Score 5, Funny) 281

use node.js -- it's javascript so you don't need to know any computer science bullshit to use it. But it's also twice as fast as C since it never blocks. Mongodb is also good because you don't need to understand databases or make sure your numbers are really numbers or your dates are valid or any of that bullshit DBA crap like consistency or transaction. That makes it faster than SQL.

gcc is still useful for fortran, ada, and cobol. It also has more backend support for older architectures. That's probably their biggest advantage but at the same time, nobody wants to support them so they get removed over time (and anybody who wanted to support them would probably be better off working with llvm). Some of the BSDs stick with gcc 2.9 (current version is 4.9) for certain architectures.

Comment Don't use DNS (Score 1, Funny) 349

Especially Comcast DNS. But Don't use DNS at all. The fact is you can skip DNS and use a /etc/hosts file. This isn't 1982 anymore, disks are huge and it only takes a couple hundred megabytes to host it. With a cron job to rsync it every hour you no longer need to worry about manually updating it either. (It's simple enough to pass the grandmother test!) For those rare cases where a name isn't in my hosts file, I just request the page using an email-to-web service.
