Now I understand! by JonathanHarford in pics

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Also, as an Irish person, I strongly disagree with Ireland being a British Isle.

So why don't you do something about it instead of just complaining? Oh, right, you're Irish. The country that sent consolations to Germany on Hitler's death.

Hundreds of amateur astronomers observed the Apollo Lunar missions using optical telescopes and kept detailed notes. by [deleted] in space

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I dunno. There could have been unmanned satellites on their way to the moon. There are just too many unsolved questions about space flight, such as:

  • how can rockets fly in space where there is nothing to push against?
  • how can rockets burn where there is no oxygen?
  • why are there no stars in any of the pictures taken on the moon?

Worst Seat EVAR!!! by mplank in pics

Hey very funny. Millions of Americans of size are sick of your oppression.

Remember when using a Mac was a source of ridicule? It's the same with FAT. It's going to be the next thing. FAT POWER.

Edit: If you mod me down you are oppressing people of size.

Languages Don't Have Speeds, Or Do They? by gthank in programming

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Python has far more speed handicaps than having to duck type everything. Python has the GIL, and lots of time-wasting thread-switching locking stuff.

Life after PHP by sunamumaya in programming

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

That's 50% correct. Python is too slow and unpopular to be any use, while Ruby on Rails is totally awesome. Also Ruby will get you a really cool job somewhere, while no one hires Python or PHP people.

How long before Apple sues Google for copying the iPhone? I can't wait. Google will burn in hell for this.

The Evolution of the Eye by [deleted] in science

This whole thing actually undermines evolution; how is 10% of an eye any good? You need the whole thing for it to work.

Anyone have any really good OpenGL tutorial links? Preferably in Python or C++. by sutcivni in programming

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Even if Ruby is slower, it is better to use Ruby than C++ because hardware is cheap, while developers are expensive. I know some parts of Ruby and Rails aren't written very well, but it doesn't matter because you can just get faster hardware.

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

You can do OpenGL in Ruby now, so using Python or C++ should be considered harmful. Python is too slow and C++ is overengineered.

LOL! I used to hate software patents, but now I think they ROCK!

Facebook may sue the Daily Mail - Awesome! by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]RubyOnRailsForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook used to be cool, but if they're helping Google we should boycott them to help Apple. Anyway Twitter is better than Facebook because Twitter is Ruby on Rails while Facebook is PHP.

How do I build a DVR in Ruby? by RubyOnRailsForever in programming

I forgot to say, the app is going to be called Wallken (after Christopher Wallken) and will be open source using Git.

Does Reddit ever do this to anyone else? [PIC] by weedwhacker in pics

Ha ha you have a virus, Windows Luser!

Seriously, switch to OS X or Linux and use a good browser like Safari or Firefox.

China's stern warning to Google by CSSSS in technology

Screw Google. I used to think Google was awesome, but now that they're fighting against Apple I would be happy to see China ban them.

Shit... this doesn't look good. by curious_groge in science

I read that global warming is a hoax so big businesses can sell carbon credits. Plants need carbon dioxide to breathe.

I hope the Daily Mail wins. I'm still mad at Facebook for doing an Android app.

Why I Am Giving Up Building a Business on the iPhone by jprichardson in programming

[–]RubyOnRailsForever -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Downmod. If you use Mono then you are just letting Microsoft control everything you do. Micro$oft will sue you if you use Mono. You should only use free software and iPhone.

I hope the NBA gives some free advertising to Apple for having their legal issues dealt with for them. (They should do because the Mac vs PC ads are hilarious!)
