Slashdot Mirror

No, you replied to me first.

You really are an idiot, aren't you? To break this down, you responded to my comment #7085642 with comment #7086786.

So, how did I reply to your first? Apparently your definition of first is second. You desperately need a new dictionary.

Not only that but you measure your worth by how many friends you have slashdot. Oh and you threaten to write about me in your journal as if that was going to actually harm me or something.

No, it probably won't harm you. But it will provide entertainment for quite a few people who will undoubtedly laugh at how long I've gotten you to respond with absolute dumbass posts. How you are harping on how I replied to you first, when it is very obvious (and provable) that isn't even the case.

For a long time I thought the idea of lonely boys hanging out at slashdot

Yes, I am so lonely. Like my Lexus in the background?

So I'm too lazy to get the actual email activation script going, but I ensure you that it will be done. I'm working on a new secret project right now that will hopefully be done this weekend. I fell ill Sunday which lasted until Wednesday and killed my productivity. What should have been done Monday night was not-quite-finished yesterday.

So, after I get done with this project, I'll have some more time to work on nerdfarm. In the meantime, I'm checking the Users table and manually activating. So if you care to post, or anything, just try to log back in in a day or so and you should be able to.

How's the secret project going, or is that classified?
Hope you're feeling better/bitter.
Email activation script still not going?
That's, what, 3 weeks ago? I guess you miscalculated that timeline, huh?

Well, hey, I could use the load test:
xerithane.nerdfarm.org

Do your worst!

Seriously, I'm curious about finding out. It's never been under a substantial load before. I use Rackspace and I have to say that I'd happily give them my first born child knowing they'd be safe and well cared for.

They are awesome, their service is great, their customer service is great, and their prices are reasonable.

$200 for an entry level server with 30GB/mo. Great web-admin if you want it, and their customer management portal is awesome as well.

They kick ass.

It's remarkable how people think that they (sample size of 1) are somehow representative of the entire population. "Bah, smoking doesn't cause cancer! I've been smoking for 30 years and it never hurt me!"

It's especially remarkable when they list their home page as nerdfarm.org and they still think they're representative of the general population.

For anybody that is interested
I won. As of 8:56:14 Eastern Standard Time, the nerdfarm.org domain name was modified and pointing to a functional server.
For those of you who dont know, nerdfarm.org is a community discussion forum that is still under development but is mostly functional. If you are interested check back to nerdfarm.org in a couple of days, and I'll get the about document posted up there.

The creation of new galaxies is often very radio-intensive. Much more information can be 'seen' by radio telescopes than light telescopes. Especially because of the atmosphere, etc. Even hubble has to deal with high atmospheric effects botching up the picture.
Also, the further out you look the older you are looking into time. It goes into relativity theory. For instance, if you had a really high powered telescope and a mirror that was one light year away from you and you did a little dance and came back two years later with your telescope and looked at the mirror you would see yourself doing the dance. It takes all electromagnetic radiation (speed of light) the same amount of time to travel through space (discounting superstring theory and all the new physics research to make the example simple) so if you have a galaxy being born 72 billion light years away, you are in effect looking at something that is 72 billion years old.
Physics rocks :)

(paraphrased) "2600 is metaphorically driving people to houses so they can rob people"
Hm. My local metropolitan transporation authority (read: public bus) gave some crazy guy a ride to the bus stop in front of my apartment and he broke into my house, so I'm going to sue the transporation authority so they can't actually bring people anywhere, just tell them where to go.
Damn, sometimes I just think that America litigation is there just to provide laughs. Then I realize that it affects me and I wish that we could just some how abolish entities like the MPAA after providing such a stupid and flawed statement and enforcing it in court.

a) learn about interhack, find out if they give out email addresses.
b) there are other documents and also I have witnessed conversations with emmett present where clyde has stated his affiliations with interhack.


nerdfarm.org

Never questioned the integrity of Interhack.
I questioned Emmett's ability to competently research and provide journalism unbiased to the public. You, nor members of Interhack (I'm assuming, very well could be wrong with this) are not journalists (nor pretend to be). Because of this, you merely were posting your findings, because Emmett's involvement both personally and professionaly with you outside of Slashdot he has comprised the whole premise behind journalism.
Which I've seen him do time and time again.


nerdfarm.org

I work with Clyde on Time City. ...Matter of fact, I don't even know if Clyde is involved with Interhack.
I'm sure his interhack email address that goes to the time city mailing list *never* meant anything to you. Oops, caught again.
Emmett, it's really sad that I'm a damned programmer and I know more about jouranlistic integrity than yourself.
As for /., it's good for laughs, and links.

Emmett Plant, "journalist" on slashdot.

For those legal pad notes, which I do as well look at the Crosspad. It's pretty hefty in cost (not sure of the exact price, more than $400USD)
Definitely useful for those meetings and what ever when you don't have a computer handy.

I can type 140wpm.
How fast can you write??
This doesn't seem like a good move. I seem to recall from somewhere (don't quote me) that the average person writes between 60-70 words per minute. That is also the average typing speed of most computer users (not windows/mac users, real computer users)
my hand hurts after a few minutes writing with a pen, while I get a few hours without pain typing.
this seems rather reverse-innovative in my own opinion, humble as it be.

I can attest to a caffeine over does.
Deadline at work, went about 3 weeks, hardly any sleep drinking about 6 quad-shot mocha's a day at minimum. At the end of the time I woke up one morning (after just falling asleep 2 hours prior) with an agonozing pain in my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack. Nope, too much caffeine cause my heart to freak out on me. It hurt. Really bad. I quit very soon after that.


nerdfarm.org

And you have the road map here I am assuming from your rants. I am a Christian, but I am no where near as arrogant as you. I really hope you do read this one.
Repeat after me: NO HUMAN KNOWS THE WILL OR INTENT OF GOD. PERIOD. EVER.
And you never will, so do not patronize scientists who may be in divine light with their genetic research. Perhaps that is God's plan and you are a tool of the devil. You never know because any human's futile little mind couldn't conceive of a fraction of God's plan.
moral of my post: Don't speak for God.

Perhaps he wouldn't be. But the best types of people are those who can graciously accept criticism and not mindlessly attack or have emotional outbursts in response.
I think that our community (Open Source) being so dependant upon his [RMS] blessing is slightly ridiculous. With a community brought together to promote peer growth and a equal tiered organization, why do we herald RMS so highly?
Yes he has done great things, yes he has done things I would never do - some things I couldn't do. But he is just a man, he is fallible. I believe most often he is in error. I am still happy with the work (life) he has contributed.

nerdfarm.org

...has way too much time on his hands though.

nerdfarm.org

Amen!
I really do think RMS is so arrogant, but I haven't really had too many one on one conversations with him (only once did we speak)
I would much prefer see an open source or non-profit domain, that actually gets upheld. I'd love to have myproject.oss or mywebsite.osw (open source software, open source website)


nerdfarm.org

twas my point in my above statement. Just defending the Ppro - I loved the chip when it came out.
5 years is too long to wait for something new when 5 weeks makes it obsolete.

nerdfarm.org

their last innovation was the pentium pro really.
granted, not a huge leap from the 386. It definitely was an advance. However the Pentium 4 still uses the same core as a Pentium Pro. I purchased my ppro in 1996. Then another one that had this silly little 'ii' after the Pentium in 98. then I got an athlon because it at least has a core that wasn't designed over 5 years ago.

nerdfarm.org

Forget the new area of inherently different AMD chips for desktop and portable. I would much prefer to see Transmeta or chips that are designed purely for portable use - the companies major focus. I firmly believe that to be the best, you have to dedicate your all. Off of this, why should AMD try to make a portable Duron or Athlon. Make a better desktop chip with those resources. Lower the power consumption and heat so you can raise the Mhz. Not so you can fit in a laptop.
Let someone manufacture a parallel SMP crusoe architecture for laptop performanc.. that's what I'd like to see happen.

I wouldn't go be so hasty as to dub this as error per se. Remember the recent anouncement of a smart gene?
Whilst pointless, the DNA in the nucleas of our cells makes up our bodily make up. This also includes our brain. Hence, without DNA we would have no brain and would have no intelligence. I believe (And this would be very difficult to contest) that our base intelligence capacity (from birth) is purely determined from a DNA standpoint, after that I suppose it would be the nurture end of things.

nerdfarm.org

emmett inspires you? not a flame, an honest question.

I think it just lends itself to the fact that most people are stupid. This does include a percentage of slashdot readers. Hence, stupid moderators.
Dude, this guy posted the same l33t posts as me, I'm gonna mod his ass up!
Hopefully humanity stands a better chance than Slashdot moderators.

Merely mapping (which I don't think that they have, considering we don't even know when we stop mapping the human genome.. it's not like there is a big sign that says, "You have reached the end of the genome, thank you, now go home") doesn't achieve ANYTHING. At all, I wrote DNA analysis software to identify possible "interesting" strands as they went through the processor. The methods used to map DNA, if just stuck in there will contain A LOT of contamination and misreads, hence their so called complete map is one that would be analagous to that drawn of a third grader with a crayon. Granted, they are doing a significant amount of research and should be commended for it, but just mapping doesn't mean anything.
The thing that I really have a problem with is that Celera just dumps all their gene reads into the patent office and gets rewarded the intellectual property for said read. This is complete crap - they did not discover anything that should be worthy of a patent. Maybe we should branch off a new patent office for this type of work. The read should be forced to be open and free to use after 3 years maximum, this will stop someone who figures out the gene for cancer, obesity, intelligence, whatever from forming a monopoly screwing us out of healthy, slender, really smart people.
However, I know a lot of you think that this work would not be done if they didn't patent this work so they could sell it to pharmo's to make money. You are right, they should be able to have limited commercial rights to it. The ability to cure a plague upon humanity should be a non-commercial engagement.
Just my overly long $0.02.

www.protectix.com - open source security solutions. I think the main point is you can develop a security-minded heirarchical system and have it be open source so if you have any flaws in your design or code (which are bound to happen) you have other people ready to look at it and fix.

I would have to heartily agree with you, it is a good thing that they are releasing their applications for Linux, however it is just another platform to them. Their involvement with KDE has been quite disheartening. I had tremendous gratitude and appreciation for their movement towards linux in the beginning. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth. Reading up on the history of the posts on the KDE-bugs list is really sad. Yes, it is a good thing that they are contributing but they're missing the spirit of open source I think. I hope it changes, because they really are doing good work and I don't want to see that fade. But I can foresee the possibility that their work will be rejected because of their lack of insight as to what exactly open source means.

nerdfarm.org

Just out of curiosity, do you have any evidence to substantiate your claim?
I have spoken a few times w/ Gav - the lead linux developer, and while we haven't talked much about the porting effort he made it sound quite clear that the code was being actively ported, and not just ran under wine. I could have misheard him, but I'd just like to know for sure.
