  1. Re:What's the term for a prophylactic prediction? on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of a joke. It was something like :
    * What do you do for a living?
    * I protect the population : I'm a velociraptor hunter
    * But, there's no velociraptor!
    * You're welcome.

  2. Re:Java is not written like other languages on Your Java Code Is Mostly Fluff, New Research Finds · · Score: 1

    That.
    I'm a Ruby programmer, but had to begin working on a Java project last year.
    As a Vim user, I was just horrified at the amount of "Bar bar = foo.getBar();" I had to write by hand.
    I began to use Eclipse (with Vrapper) and suddenly everything was less painful.
    When I code Ruby with Vim now, I'm surprised when I change a method and don't see red markers appear in my code.

    That's actually a funny/insightful question :D

  4. Re:How about the atrocities committed by the USA? on An Argument For Not Taking Down Horrific Videos · · Score: 1

    I thought about this.
    Between :
    * dying a quick (but horrible) death
    * rotting away for eternity without trial, regular torture, sleep deprevation and occasional 30-hour binge of Christina Aguilera.
    What would you choose?
    I'm really not sure, but I think I'd choose the death by fire.

    By text processing, did you mean "knew->new" , "which->who" and "managing->managling"?

    Actually, everything was fine until you made an observation about the observation.
    The universe is doomed now.

    RAW support for newer cameras might force me to abandon CS6 one day.
    That sucks (for customers), and Adobe knows it.

    By your logic, nobody is allowed to accuse anyone of using strawman arguments.

    Basically, his arguments are :
    * systemd haters have no clue about UNIX
    * RedHat took a long time to notice my genius
    * Gentoo users are old-farts that don't like beautifully written shiny new stuff
    * Debian users are even older assholes
    * You can use Gnome without systemd, but it won't work
    * I listen to users, but they're all idiots

    Whole Europe is selling football clubs, museums and car manufacturers to those double-face assholes (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, ...), because they're in need of their precious oil.
    Cut the dependency on oil, and you'll solve peak oil, global warming and islamic terror at the same time.

  17. Re:Perfect? Really? on Researchers "Solve" Texas Hold'Em, Create Perfect Robotic Player · · Score: 1

    Exactly, we humans really suck at making random choices.
    50:50 at Rock/Paper/Scissors should actually be the worst-case scenario : If your opponent understands your logic and begins to win, just make truly random choices, and you'll get back to 50:50 after enough time.
    But you should also try to bluff and analyse your opponent's smile, voice and body language.

  18. Re:Summary video on How Close Are We To Engineering the Climate? · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure global warming is an exponential system.
    But I get your point, and you're probably talking about treshold effects and positive feedbacks.
    And yes, it would be a bitch to control this system, and very hard to stay between -1*IAU and 1*IAU : http://xkcd.com/1379/
