  1. Re:Message sent, but will it be received? on IBM Shifts 14,000 Jobs to India · · Score: 1

    Do not take the patience of the poor for granted.

    Communism (as implimented by the USSR and others) failed because it competed with a system that served the people better. And that is why capitalism will fail.

  2. Re:There was a story when I worked at Microsoft on IBM Shifts 14,000 Jobs to India · · Score: 1

    No need to imagine, just read history. The society as you and I know it today only came in existence the last 250 years or so - most of europe had slaves less than 150 years ago !

    It wil simply revert back to that.

  3. I find it rather disturbing... on Britney is #1 Virus Celebrity · · Score: 3, Funny

    in that I recognize every one of those individuals. I can even put a face to most of them !

    What gamut of innate garbage must my brain contain beyond that...

    I'm disgusted by the cesspool that is my mind and, for once, very conscious of the torrents of crap being sluised into it every moment.

    And here I am reading slashdot.

  4. Re:Left-handed model? on Nokia's Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    It's a limited mind that acknowledges only one way of spelling a word.

    It does assist communication though, especially if the audience has access to, uhm ..., less powerfull parsing routines.

    Yes, indeed.

  5. Re:Yes, but when the madmen are running the asylum on Deleting Emails Costs Morgan Stanley $1.45B · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, while I know nothing of Mr. Cheney, I know he's immortal. All humans are.

    Infinite time does leave quite a bit of leeway for the justice of God, never you fear.

  6. Re:Plugins on Netbeans 4.1 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    11300.0/37000 * 100 = 30.5 %
    155000.0/1400000 * 100 = 11.07 %

    ergo 30 % of NetBeans users think NetBeans Suck
    11.07 % of Eclipse users think Eclipse Suck

    Gues that's why I'm gonna try Eclipse before NetBeans - but I will try both.

    Problem is one can rarely decide without doing more than just poke arround - that's why I need to test the waters based on other's opinions.

  7. All Indian ? on CA's $1mn Open-Source Bounty Results · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Judging from their surnames... maybe US companies oursource to India not only because they are, oh so much cheaper, but 'cause US coders, uhm, suck...

    Well, do they ?

    50k US$ seems to be a good fraction of a year's salary, ain't it ?

  8. 1.42GHz emacs on New Mac System Specs · · Score: 0

    With my new 1.42GHz emacs I'll code the smoke out Mr. Poopypants vi zealot over in the corner the.., oh, wait..

  9. Re:Other uses? on Metafor: Translating Natural Language to Code · · Score: 0

    Above code is overly redundand.

    Drop the curly bits as the scope information is already present in the (SHOCK HORROR !) spacing. Get rid of the ;'s rather use another glymph to indicate that the default line break behaviour does not hold, something like a \, perhaps.

    Wait, what have we here ? Another piece of beatifull Python code !

  10. two problems on Regular Expression Recipes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ``I know, I'll use regular expressions.'' Now they have two problems.

  16. Re:Semi-serious? on Game with God · · Score: 0

    Dude, no. seriously. If you keep on sucking the yellow ice you're never gonna get that taste out of your mouth.
