  1. It's not a race but it is used by racists as a proxy for race, since most muslims aren't white.

  2. In comparison, yes.

  3. How are Sweden and Germany destroyed pray do tell. Both are doing much better than Russia.

  4. Because having Russia dominate the world would be horrific?

  5. I don't think I've ever read a sentence of such unfathomable stupidity on this site. Good job I guess?

  6. Also read your own wikipedia link.

  7. Yes, really.

  8. IQ tests are country specific and are adjusted so that the results fit a specific Gaussian distribution. There is no such thing as a country with a higher IQ than another country. What kind of moron would believe this is for real?

  9. I thought the details of the technology behind the hair was fairly interesting?

  10. Ahh the bliss of youthful ignorance on Rust-Based Redox OS Devs Slam Linux, Unix, GPL · · Score: 2

    I wish I still was of that beautiful age where you think that technological superiority and general betterness means anything in the real world :(

  11. What? on Microsoft Announces Xbox One Backward Compatibility · · Score: 1

    So an x86 based system is backwards compatible with programs compiled for PowerPC? In what corner of the multi-verse? The only way for this is emulation. Which is a bit hard to believe they would be able/bother to do.

  12. Re:Sad to hear... on Crowdfunded Android Console Ouya Reportedly Seeking Buyout · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You had hopes for an underpowered Android console no one was obviously going to release good games for...?

  13. Re:Can't eat what you don't grow on Free-As-In-Beer Electricity In Greece? · · Score: 0

    Capitalism is anything but a failure. You have to be severely deluded to think otherwise. It brings it's own problems but a failure it's not.

  14. Re:"computer hacking" the convenient catch-all on Swatting 19-Year-Old Arrested in Las Vegas · · Score: 2

    There's zero chance of that happening. Coming in with as many heavy weapons and officers as possible is great for them since it reduces the risks in their work and is in general fun and easy. There have been tens of people shot during raids recently including little children. Try to do something about it and all the police unions will go mental about how you hate cops and want them dead. They almost always get away with it as far as legal repercussions go too. The only way for them to get in trouble is to do something against their training. But their training is "if you feel the slightest bit threatened shoot at the problem until it goes away" so that's not happening either.

  15. How about ignoring it? on Colorado Sued By Neighboring States Over Legal Pot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How about not enforcing the laws there since doing otherwise is a stupid waste of law enforcement time and resources? I can't believe anyone can be stupid enough to think cannabis is dangerous enough to merit criminalization. You have to be basically live up your own ass for decades to come up with that opinion.

  16. Re:What does "effectively infinite" mean? on Building the Infinite Digital Universe of No Man's Sky · · Score: 1

    Define infinite. There are no infinite things in observed reality and there obviously can not be any in a computer game. Infinite simply means that you can always come up with more of whatever object is under consideration. For example no matter how large a natural number you name I can always name a bigger one. In this case it probably means that when you reach a "border" of the world some more "world" is generated. Given that they claim it is procedurally generated.

  17. Re:on behalf of america on EU's Top Court May Define Obesity As a Disability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    True, however, their verdicts can have influence over existing laws. If there are laws concerning treatment of disability in the workplace and some responsible body makes up a new disability it sort of is like passing a law.

  18. so different on R Throwdown Challenge · · Score: 1

    Yeah R is so different from Python, I mean everything is the same but not quite and I totally have a point and not just bullshitting because like Japanese sushi and beef Argentinian soup, brocolli.

  19. Re:Plenty of forks already ... on Free Software Foundation Condemns Mozilla's Move To Support DRM In Firefox · · Score: 1

    Because when you fork something it instantly becomes unstable and memory corruption bugs appear. Or you could, you know, remove that one bit that you don't like and keep the rest the same.

  20. Re:Thiefs think others should pay on Swedish Fare Dodgers Organize Against Transportation Authorities · · Score: 2

    Any standards, really.

  21. What pain of programming? on Fixing the Pain of Programming · · Score: 2

    The only "pain of programming" I have experienced was always the result of my own poor design choices. Is there an IDE for that?

  22. Re:Not terribly surprising on US College Students Still Aren't All That Interested In Computer Science · · Score: 1

    "and much more to do with general math/logic" well thank fuck. Anyone can learn to code on their own, not so with general math/logic.

  23. Re:K&R on Ask Slashdot: What Should Every Programmer Read? · · Score: 2

    Excellent arguments, I'm convinced.

  24. Re:Breaking news on Zuckerberg's $100 Million Education Gift Solved Little · · Score: 2

    "How about just talking to the school directors, asking them what they need most, and then giving it to them?"

    I don't know for sure but I am pretty certain every government in the world would make doing that impossible.

  25. Re:If it's not computable... on Mathematical Model Suggests That Human Consciousness Is Noncomputable · · Score: 1

    I suspect that "it's magic" is precisely the conclusion they want to draw to protect their threatened special snowflake status. Otherwise clever people (Roger Penrose, etc) end up looking like total baffoons because they cannot even dare contemplate the notion that their mind is not a transcendent miracle of galactic proportions.
