    Why the fuck do I never have points when it would actually do some good?!?!?

    Is there some fucking Slashdot Project Insight that keeps me from having them, when I really want them?

    Someone who ACTUALLY HAS POINTS fucking mod this up...

    Actually, once you get out of your mom's basement and take some future wife to a hospital with your child, you'll understand that the hospital does NOT have supplies. There is a laundry list of items you need to bring with, or leave her and buy. Leaving her to buy things will NOT be acceptable. Also, his point was more to the "cleanup" process and "40 minutes" to the hospital. If you were doing anything other than talking out your ass, you'd realize it takes quite some time to remove skunk smell from your person. Hours, if not days. I doubt the hospital would let you into the maternity ward smelling strongly of skunk, with x very pregnant women there, who throw up at the smell of a freshly brewed pot of delicious coffee, much less mercaptans. Speaking mostly from experience of having had two kids with a VERY easy-going-pregnancy wife, I am pretty certain that I can say on jackspenn's behalf, her words were something along the line of "HURRY THE FUCK UP AND KILL IT!!! MY WATER JUST BROKE AND WE HAVE A 40 MINUTE FUCKING DRIVE TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL!!!

    No one is saying it's gonna help with 320 GB of raw data. Clearly it will not. Where it might help is with recomputing the 27 different cubes the various business units want. Every day. Open your eyes. No one says this is for everyone. It has targeted uses. 1 use: recomputing compute-heavy cubes. Every Day. With pricing data, I would think your bosses would be sporting particularly large woodies, just dreaming about the realtime info they could be getting, oh, perhaps every hour even? Lots o' opportunity for floating point calcs there, no? Or are they just collecting the data? Hmm, did I just give away a business idea? Screw it. Contact me and throw me .1% when you make it real. Hell , hire me to help you make it real.

  9. Re:Is it? on Bitcoin Exchange Mt.Gox Suffers Serious Attack, Instawallet Offline · · Score: 1

    I'm admittedly guessing here, but you're basically saying that the only person / group who is able to perform this attack would actually have to be so rich that they wouldn't need to perform this attack?

    Or, they might be extremely rich and simply decide to destroy the Bitcoin currency for some personal reason? ( hate, jealousy, lack of control, whatever...)

    I think I can live with that. This person/group would then also be able to destabilize most other currencies in the world, possibly even China, US and EU currencies?

  14. Re:You don't on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    Bingo. No matter WHAT you do, you have almost zero chance of success.

    Any programmer who, in this day and age, writes code as you describe, is DOING IT ON PURPOSE to extend their "worth" to the company, by being obtuse.

    I feel your pain, but unless you are really close friends with this person, or can BECOME very close friends, I think you're SOL.

    So actually, now that I just thought of it, you could become close friends with the dinosaur, and THEN, perhaps, guide him/her?
    Good luck my friend...

    I purchased parallels and am MUCH happier with it. Not that parallels is perfect either, but it sure as hell is more stable.

    Just my 2 cents...

    FYI, Roundup is a herbicide. It kills plants, not bugs.
    Also, I think the last time this came up, itwas said that it isn't actually the roundup chemical that gets into the food, it's one of the carrier chemicals that persists.
    Or am I remembering wrong?

    Sorry for bringing fiction into Real Life, but wouldn't the good of ALL humanity outweigh the good of the individual human? Seriously. Asimov made a good play for a zero'th law.

Travolta, you need to build an organization, QUICKLY, to make sure that custom babies are blown to bits, preferably with LNNW ( no more ball bearings!), just to be sure. You know?
