Didn't you read this one, The Next Browser Scripting Language Is -- C?. C FTW!
(you're right, of course - I, for one, would not welcome C if it were forced upon me as a browser scripting language)
I thought that metamoderation only involved judging old moderations from others, e.g. I never meta-moderate on brand new stories. You seem to think that one can metamoderate a random tag, in this case redundant, on a previously unmodded comment. To me it just looks like someone wasting a mod point for who knows what reason. Perhaps I misunderstood your comment, metamoderation, or both.
We used Jython quite a lot at a company I previously worked for. Real life applications (mostly mobile services), some with 500-1000K hits daily, no special problems with that. Jython has its quirks, but I like it and still use it sometimes for personal projects
Geothermal has been working well in Iceland for decades. It's not tapping volcanoes for power, but instead generating electricity and heating our consumption water using hot spring water. I haven't heard many concerned about this, but there have been more concerns about large dams for hydro plants. Comparing scales, I think the likelyhood of human activity having much impact is similar to fleas on a dog worrying about if the next bite is gonna cause heart-attack for their beloved host.
Nowhere did I see the OP or the GP advocating that billions should be killed. They were just stating that there were too many people on the planet for reasonable sustainance, the OP following it with a common prophecy of famine/war.
I'd think that for all purposes, there isn't an invisible dragon or anything else unusual in the garage unless there's some evidence, say missing tools or unexplained burn marks on your car. The observation of compelling evidence is key here.
Maybe we'll some day get repeatable evolution from single-cell organisms to multi-celled ones. IMO that's a giraffe in a petri dish, wonder what they'll say then.
Have we not found a meaningful use for the Internet/Google yet? I get to spend half my worktime here and elsewhere and you find that meaningless?
But of course I otherwise agree that all kinds of useful knowledge at your fingertips is totally worthless. Except for free pron.
Yep. Dance with the devil and you burn, even if it's warm at first. Film at 11.
Only sad thing is that it wont be the long gone pointy-haired bosses that get bitten, but instead the poor on-the-floor webdevs.
You can use Spring to auto-generate proxy and stub classes for Java RMI. That way you don't need to write any boiler-plate code at all, very easy to use.
I would have modded this as funny if it wasn't an AC. No need to label it troll though, even if the submitter doesn't have the guts to post it with name attached.
Indeed. Anyone who wants such a device deserves all the disasters that will come with it.
Anyway, it's just vapourware. From TFS "advise you on the appropriateness of your jokes". Latest AI is nowhere near that, and our own wetware even often has problems with this task.
Exactly. I dunno why so many people look at this as rocket science. All you really need is to put something immutable on a queue. Whatever takes it from there creates some immutable output that gets put somewhere else. Rinse and repeat.

Lucky you. I got stuck with the Oracle, and all she talked about was indexing.

This is not the correct place to talk about better leverage and a paradigm shift. I'd try Wall Street.

This is the only valid reason I've ever seen for posting AC.
The article is stating that the old Ford Model T is on its way out, and that it's being replaced by invisible pink unicorns?

Maybe the modder thought it was funny enough to boost your karma. I'd have gone for informative though
Does this mean that I should call the fabric of my tent - tentacles?

Hmm. I'm more into assimilating stupid brains than simulating them, much more cost-effective.

Let us use the scientific method to decide the matter:

Don't patronize us brutes, you insensitive clod. I'm an insensitive clod too! Now I have no idea who I was insulting.

I'm mostly worried about the fjords now. Much harder on a tiny sphere.

Thank you. My neurons just fired associated pictures from that time. Samantha Fox was first up.

Yeah, I read the title as 'Melting Microsoft ...'. Oh, well.
