  1. Re:What exactly have you been smoking? on Political and Technical Implications of GitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!

    Oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse. Ah yes, you want room 12A, just along the corridor (stupid gittorrent).

  2. Re:No its worse than that on Evolving Rocks · · Score: 1

    It won't be long before the "Intelligent Design" crew start bringing up evolving rocks to show that "evolutionists don't know what they are talking about".

    Yep, and tree hugging hippies will find increased love for rocks and soil.

  3. Re:looks like a three step process? on Ray Kurzweil Wonders, Can Machines Ever Have Souls? · · Score: 1

    So far though, no one has shown up that lacks consciousness.

    Speak for yourself, this zombie doesn't have one!

    On a more serious note, you bring up good points. About the 3rd step, I would imagine that imagination can be simulated with - simulation.

  4. Re:Scrummed to death on When Agile Projects Go Bad · · Score: 1

    You were doing this wrong. Developers should only be in one scrum group at a time, and only have short (10-15 mins) meetings daily. We're doing scrum at my company now, I think it's still a bit too many meetings sometimes, but at least here it's nowhere as bad as you have described. The backlog is actually one of the things I like about this scrum thingy. It allows you to prioritize relatively small tasks, exactly so that you get the most important things out of the way first. It's good for keeping focus, good for getting something out of the door early.

  5. Re:Two sides to this question on Real Name For Open Source Development? · · Score: 1

    Otherwise, you may have a hard time proving to some judge that you should be protected because the plaintiff should have known that you were "Blue Salad".

    I spot a glitch in the space/time continuum

  6. Re:Yet another wannabe Lisp minus macros on Ioke Tries To Combine the Best of Lisp and Ruby · · Score: 1

    You can also use Clojure, for a Lisp-like jvm language with macros.

  7. Re:Alright, let's decide right now. on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 1

    Iceland. We are broke and we want the money now.

  8. Re:Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Good points. But what about something like tortures in Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib? I'd put those acts in the evil category, and then it's debatable about how evil the parties in the responsibility chain are for not doing anything real about it. If I remember correctly, McCain wasn't too terribly opposed to those. I don't see him as evil, but some probably could.

  9. Re:It's knowing when on Reuse Code Or Code It Yourself? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To add to this, Hibernate is open source and it might well be possible for him to tweak it to what he needs - the transactional model is for example somewhat extendable out of the box.

  10. Re:people mistake terse for hostile on Anonymous Anger Rampant On the Web · · Score: 1

    Your mother is an hamster and your father smells of elderberries!

    WHY DO YOU HATE E-AMERICA???

  12. Re:Microsoft scumbags are out early today. on Windows 7 To Be 256-Core Aware · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you click on the OP's score, you'll see that there is no modding history unlike for your own comment that has a +1 karma bonus. This suggests to me that the OP has bad karma from previous downmods, i.e. he has not been downmodded for this post.

  13. Re:Misconception on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    I see what you did here. Why do you hate America?!?

  14. Re:Could this be the disconnect? on Packs of Robots Will Hunt Down Uncooperative Humans · · Score: 1

    Parsing error, parentheses not closed. Will now terminate (someone/something).

  15. Re: I think we should be able to on Economic Crisis Will Eliminate Open Source · · Score: 1

    We should write an open source punch fund raiser!

  16. Re:USB adapters on Build a Cheap Media-Reading PC? · · Score: 1

    I'm (almost) as old as McCain and have a much higher ID number than the USB dude, you insensitive clod!

  17. Re:A lot of my "liberal" friends seem to agree on Linux As a Model For a New Government? · · Score: 1

    You got what you voted for. It doesn't mean that democracy is broken, it means that the voters made a bad choice last time (and the time before that as well). You have a chance to correct this in just a few weeks.

  18. Re:The grand plan on Microsoft's New Programming Language, "M" · · Score: 1

    Don't need O#, O is already on the scene - Oslo

  19. Re:Ditch under/overrated as mods on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    I most often notice this when I see backed up corrections in replies. The original (wrongly) informative mod still stands, so while probably not meant as troll, the post is nevertheless overrated.

  20. Re:Ditch under/overrated as mods on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    Another angle is that sometimes posters get modded informative, while being factually wrong. Then at least I prefer to mod overrated rather than troll or offtopic.

  21. Re:Misread the summary on Sony, Microsoft Begin Battle of Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    Greetings, I am Ubuntu, and this is my aunt, Solaris. Uncle Cray couldn't make it, he's busy saving the world from the financial crisis.

  22. Re:You can tell the machine apart easily on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    I find your ideas on conversation flow interesting and have updated my algorithms accordingly. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. I will stop now.

  23. Re:who is it on Stephen Hawking Unveils "Time Eater" Clock · · Score: 1

    Some more info on John Taylor.

  24. Re:Am i wrong to feel a bit disgusted? on US Army To Develop "Thought Helmets" · · Score: 1

    I suppose you were also disgusted when the internet was born?

  25. Re:change thinking? on US Army To Develop "Thought Helmets" · · Score: 1

    Math, meditation and many other mental tasks that require concentration and directed though control all change the way you think while the effort lasts. You see these also as brainwashing?
