Re:RAISES the questionAhem: (emphasis mine)
An argument that improperly assumes as true the very point the speaker is trying to argue for is said in formal logic to "beg the question." Here is an example of a question-begging argument: "This painting is trash because it is obviously worthless." The speaker is simply asserting the worthlessness of the work, not presenting any evidence to demonstrate that this is in fact the case. Since we never use "begs" with this odd meaning ("to improperly take for granted") in any other phrase, many people mistakenly suppose the phrase implies something quite different: that the argument demands that a question about it be asked--raises the question. If you're not comfortable with formal terms of logic, it's best to stay away from this phrase, or risk embarrassing yourself.
Please educate yourself before making yourself look like a damned fool, asshat. -

Utopia
The book that best describes Nerd-utopia (nerdtopia?) must be Neuromancer. Imagine what the internet looks like in that book. Space stations around the earth, filled with decadent and filthy rich people or ganja-smoking rasta-people. AIs in the loose, wanting to take over. Definately utopia in my mind.

Re:universe vs. pure mathematical big numbersheh... i apologize i actually got some of the stats wrong: they are from highschool, which is a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
in either case, however, the spirit does not change: a google is still sufficiently big that the physical universe have trouble filling up into its large-ness.
below is slightly off-topic, but:
for ever bigger, interesting numbers (that puts the googleplex to shame, actually), try Grahams Number, Another link to Graham's Number. Please note that, interestingly (in a mathematically geeky fashion) the result Graham's Number tries to limit (it's an upper bound) is generally believed to be 6. there is also Moser's Number... i am not sure which one is bigger...

Re:Chop my hand off for Warez? This is insane!
I do have a deep regard for the muslim faith.
However, the interpretation of the life of Muhammad varies, I'm sure, as all other histories vary: depending on the time of the analysis, and those involved.
Warlike folks stress the wars fought against Mecca, others, the more peaceful and conciliatory aspects of the story.
It's clear to me that, for a long period, Muslim civilization was considerably ahead of European civilization in nearly all regards: arts, culture, even war - the rights of the individual, the rule of law, in science and in mathematics.
But that was when it was a trading culture, open to other nations and ways of life, when it protected diversity rather than attempting to crush it under the jackboot of fundamentalism.
Nothing wrong with the religion, but somebody left a bunch of idiots in charge. -

Re:OT: grammar observation
An observation I've made time and again is that the English language seems rather difficult to write even for British/American people, leading to lots of funny/stupid/annoying little typos that foreigners writing English tend not to make.
This page is a great example of that. Unfortunately, its not good for non-native speakers; as you point out, those are the kind of errors they (native speakers) tend to do. I guess if you speak the language extensively -instead of reading it- you get those things. Regarding the equivalence between written and spoken language, German and Spanish are quite easy to master, French is hell!

Re:Can't we do better?
Bring some 1297 smack down on em.
What about some 1780 BC? Hammurabi may well have been anticipating spam in his Code:
If a shepherd, without the permission of the owner of the field, and without the knowledge of the owner of the sheep, lets the sheep into a field to graze, then the owner of the field shall harvest his crop, and the shepherd, who had pastured his flock there without permission of the owner of the field, shall pay to the owner twenty gur of corn for every ten gan.And he was clearly thinking of sys admins who left open email relays when he decreed:
If any one be too lazy to keep his dam in proper condition, and does not so keep it; if then the dam break and all the fields be flooded, then shall he in whose dam the break occurred be sold for money, and the money shall replace the corn which he has caused to be ruined."Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." --Ecclesiastes, 2:9

Re:What? it's in the book...
Just to comment a bit on what you wrote.
The name of the book is indeed "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" which is a pretty far cry from "Blade Runner". The story is:
When Ridley Scott made his 1982 film based loosely on the novel he eliminated the electric sheep (along with much else), and Dick's title no longer made sense (nor would it have been very effective on a marquee). The film company bought the rights to another novel by a different author and threw away everything but the title--Blade Runner--a term which occurs nowhere in the book. The film eventually gained great fame, and the novel was eventually retitled to match.
I can't really decide which title I like better. Considering the differences between the book and the film, I actually like the fact that Ridley Scott (or whoever) chose a different title.
BTW, as fan of PKD it bothers me that I don't recognize the qoute in your sig. Where's it from? -

Re:evolution, creationThe fact that the Earth was flat was known before the appearance of Christianity and Judaism. The Greeks knew, Ptolemy even managed to calculate the Earth's circumference with surprising accuracy using trigonometry. The Church actually destroyed a lot of Greek and roman knowledge.
As for predicting what happened billions of years ago: of course its hard. We are mealy humans, we try to scrounge up clues and come up with a reasonable explanation. I think it is very likely that evolution is right but I doubt we'll ever be able confirm with 100% assurance since that would require a time machine.
What you fail to comprehend is that if you disprove evolution it automatically proves that creationism is true. There may be another explanation which we limited humans cannot see. See Plato's allegory of the cave if you don't understand what I mean by that.

JONKATZ Process Homosexgenics...
JonKatz homosexuality is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered JonKatz community when last month IDC confirmed that JonKatz accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all homosexual fantasies. Coming on the heels of the latest GayMale weekly survey which plainly states that JonKatz has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. JonKatz is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Homosexual.com comprehensive ass-raping test.
You don't need to be a CmdrTaco to predict JonKatz's future. The hand writing is on the wall: JonKatz faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for JonKatz because JonKatz is dying. Things are looking very bad for JonKatz. As many of us are already aware, JonKatz continues to lose market share. Bloody sperm flows like a river of blood. JonKatz is the most endangered homosexual Slashdot author of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Slashdot leader CowboyNeal states that there are 7000 homosexual fantasies of JonKatz. How many ass rapings of JonKatz are there? Let's see. The number of homosexual fantasies involving JonKatz versus ass-rapings involving JonKatz posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 homosexual JonKatz fantasy users. Anal penetraion of JonKatz posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of JonKatz homosexual fantasy posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of anal penetration of JonKatz. A recent article put reacharounds involving JonKatz at about 80 percent of the homosexual fantasies involving JonKatz market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 fantasies involving JonKatz. This is consistent with the number of ass-rapings of JonKatz posts.
Due to the troubles of the Anal Sludge Eating Corporation, abysmal sales and so on, homosexual fantasies involving JonKatz went out of style and was taken over by fantasies involving CmdrTaco who sells himself on the street corner. Now CmdrTaco's Ass-Sex Company is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that JonKatz fantasies have steadily declined in market share. JonKatz is very sick and his long term homosexuality prospects are very dim. If JonKatz's homosexuality is to survive at all it will be among homosexual hobbyist dabblers. JonKatz homosexuality continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, JonKatz's homosexual fantasy is dead.

Aaaack! More Errors!
Now they've done it: They are making firm comments on part a of english that isn't finalized.
Let's take this for example. Perhaps regular english would dictate they are correct. However, since anyone referring to the CD-ROM would be speaking in the technical domain of computers, computer usage should apply.
As someone who works at a computer store, I can tell you it is very common (common enough to be fact) that a CD-ROM is the drive unit itself, whereas a CD or CD-ROM disc is the media.
Why? Isn't that wrong?
No. Think about it. CD-ROM is not the media, it is the format. The format is a round disc made of polycarbonate and aluminium foil. CD-ROM drives/players play the round disc format. CD-ROM discs are discs produced in the CD-ROM format. This double use of the same acronym demands clarification.
This is validated by the fact that CD-DA is Compact Disc Digital Audio. The CD is the description of the media, DA is a description of the data on the disc. If I say CD-DA there's no expectation that I am talking about a piece of media. In the CD-ROM case, CD is again a media description, ROM is referring to the immutability of the data on the disc.
Now with DVD. DVD is a format. DVD-R shows the recordability of the format. DVD video is infact the logo itself. If the logo specifically goes out of its way to be "redundant" then perhaps the creators of the DVD format are going out of their way to let these people know they man DVD is a format which requires the "redundant" descriptor for accuracy's sake.
This is completely different than the obvious redundancy of words like "Tuna Fish". Tuna is a fish. Always has been, AFAIK. Always will be. No question about it. Anyone you talk (including those in the fishing industry) wouldn't say any different, unless they were to be more specific as to what class of fish a tuna is.
CD-ROM has never had such a clear definition, and therefore clearing up the question is very much in order, IMHO. The DVD people clearly explain they mean format, not media.
They go on with other such things, like UPC under "PIN Number". If UPC is a thing and not a format, then what is the general format for a UPC called?
Methinks someone will reply with something witty. Please, do so! Correct me! I want to know why I'm wrong, if I am.
Past that, the rest of the site seems good. Will bookmark it and shut up now. -

Re:Cordwainer Smiththe most vivid tropes in his book were taken from the movie Blade Runner
Blade Runner was actually a screenplay based on the Philip K. Dick novel, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'.
Neuromancer was published in 1984, Do Androids Dream was originally published in 1968 and the film in 1982 so there is a good chance that they could have influenced Neuromancer. Sadly I haven't read the book, but I read Do Androids Dream...? a long time ago and have seen Bladerunner over and over.

Re:Give a geek the greatest gift...
You forgot the three homonyms for "there":
- There: "over there", physical location
- Their: "their house", possessive plural
- They're: "they're coming", contraction of "they are"
And of course there are other ones, like "there inlies the problem", try "therein lies". Or "mute point" instead of "moot point".
And don't forget the three versions of the homonym "site"
- Site: "web site", a location
- Sight: "eyesight", one of the 5 (or 6) senses
- Cite: "cite the author", what you do when (and if) you write essays.
A page with a lot of these errors is: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html

What do you do when CmdrTaco isnt gay any more?
Every few weeks, outside the Slashdot Trailer
in the late 1990s, stood a life-size cardboard cutout
of asmall tramp--outfitted in tattered, baggy pants, a
cutaway coat and vest, impossibly large, worn-out shoes
and a battered derby hat--bearing the inscription:
I AM QUEER TODAY.
An advertisement for a CmdrTaco reach around was a
promise of happiness, of that precious, almost shocking
moment when homosexuality delivers what life cannot, when
experience and delight become synonymous, and our anal pumping
yield the fabulous, unmerited bonanza we never get past expecting.Even in the year 2000, CmdrTaco is still here. In a 1995
worldwide survey of anal terrorists, CmdrTaco was voted the
greatest anal penetrator in history. He was the first, and to
date the last, person to control every aspect of the reach
around process--founding his own homosexual promoting website,
Queer-Web, with JonKatz,
Hemos and CowboyNeal, and penetrating, fisting, slapping,
felching, sucking and dirty-sanchez'ing his way to the
top (literally). In the first decades of the 21st century, when
weekly male on male handjobs were a "normal" habit of
Slashdot authors, CmdrTaco more
or less invented global recognizability for homosexual websites
and helped turn Slashdot into nationaly known homepage for sexual
deviants. In 1996, his third year in open gayness, his salary of
$100 an ass rape made him the highest-paid sex offender--possibly
the highest paid fag--in the world. By 2000, "CmdrTaco-itis,"
accompanied by a flood of CmdrTaco dances, songs, dolls, comic
books and cock suckings, was rampant in the faggot community.

Now CmdrTaco's Ass-Sex Company is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that JonKatz fantasies have steadily declined in market share. JonKatz is very sick and his long term homosexuality prospects are very dim. If JonKatz's homosexuality is to survive at all it will be among homosexual hobbyist dabblers. JonKatz homosexuality continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, JonKatz's homosexual fantasy is dead.
JonKatz's homosexuality is dying -
