Comment ACM (Score 1) 329

ACM : an entity that lives in a dream that it represents any authority or exerts any respects in its field :s, no one gives a F.

Women and Men :s people should learn to stop using that card :s, come on, if you sucked at CS or if there are not enough women around in CS, it probably is because the women were interested in doing something else, now stop trying to find excuses and get on with your life.

Comment Why? (Score 1) 213

ACM never helped me learn anything when i started.
ACM's article usually asked for fees to access their documents/papers.


Thanks to the above two, i had always in my head tagged ACM and ieee as associations of people who are not really interesting in perfectioning the art, but rather making money out of it. So yes, i viewed them both as dangers to the art of computing.

lol what the f*ck!
I quote from the Microsoft research paper:
"In this paper, we investigate a novel approach to classify the difficulty of code comprehension tasks using data from psycho-physiological sensors. We present the results of a study we conducted with 15 professional programmers to see how well an eye-tracker, an electrodermal activity sensor, and an electroencephalography sensor could be used to predict whether developers would find a task to be difficult."

15 developers is enough to reach a conclusion???
Note that the paper is about investigating the difficulty of code comprehension, not how bug are introduced, while it may be indirectly linked, it is not for a fact linked, it is just an assumption, there's no such direct relationship.
Also each developers codes differently and requires different working conditions, and feels different emotions while coding, how the heck can they assume that EEG results will show any similarity?

This is a bullshit research wasting time and money. Probably some kind of marketing feat that will be used to claim Microsoft no longer makes bugs in its code or just some sort of conspiracy to turn programmers into zombies hooked to machines.

Lol blame the programmer for the bug when bugs occurs for a lot more reasons than just one human doing the coding, building a program is more than just about a programmer.

Anyways, it is a research paper :p, everyone should bow down and say "amen you are right" :s. Stupidities

Comment Awesome. (Score 1) 253

Extremely great news. Happy for many of my closed ones, i hope that this could lead to a potential solution to fix type 2 diabetes, i have a lot of familly members having this, despite regulating food intake and doing regular exercise. I just hope pharmaceuticals companies do not manipulate things to create a drug that one should be dependant on forever but instead create a one X number of dose fix it all thing :).

Comment French and Freedom of Speech (Score 2) 424

:) Here goes for French and there so called freedom of speech. hAh, people having fought for liberty, fraternity and equality, now they can't even "rate" or 'criticise" a restaurant. That Judge is a dick head. :) Yeah, I challenge him to sue me now for saying that his decision is like that of a child.

A blog is a personal space. You are free to read it, or ignore it.

Anyways, here's an archive of the Article in question: http://web.archive.org/web/201...

Use google translate if you don't understand French.

It mostly is about aperitif not being queried for, not served on time, bad waitressing, lack of good PR by the owner, bad wine serving abilities etc...

Good read if you like food.

My opinion about this, someone went to a restaurant counted what she experienced at the restaurant, and she got fined for counting her experience. Dafuq.

Comment Where the fault lies? (Score 3, Insightful) 231

When someone says reset phone and reset data, the OS should ensure a clean wipe not a soft wipe. Should atleast fill it with 0s. And people should try to keep most of their data on sd cards and move those alongs when they get new phones.

What kind of people sell sd cards along with phone. I thought everyone are misers.

Am tempted to know what kind of nudie pics where available :p.
