From what I remember on my research into serotonin..
Tryptophan is an amino acid that is used by the brain to manufacture serotonin. It's present in all protein, and usually you have plenty of it in your bloodstream. However, it can only get into the brain piggybacked on another molecule, and it has to compete with other amino acids for this ride. One way to soak up the other amino acids is to produce insulin with a carbohydrate-only meal. The insulin removes enough of those amino acids to allow more tryptophan into the brain, thereby providing more raw material for serotonin production.
This is actually very clever. It's just a ploy by Google themselves to shake out all the hypocrites and fanboys. It's like that stuff the FBI use to show up semen at a crime scene.
My slashdot policy book must be out of date. Didn't we all agree software patents were evil?
This is all very interesting, relevant and perhaps even insightful, but we're going to have to mod you down to around 0 kelvin for use of the word 'paradigm'.
Actually, it was the Welsh guy's response that made me titter. No disrespect intended to either party; I merely wanted a +5 Funny at someone else's expense.
So, by your definition, a prude is someone who doesn't want to hear words like "fuck", "cunt" etc while out to dinner at Pizza Hunt with family, shouted down the road by teenagers?
Tell me, what *exactly* are you doing to "disarm" these words? You don't use them once in this thread other than to taunt me. Perhaps if I review your posting history, your Free-The-Fuck campaign will become apparent?
At any time, a word is either offensive or not, according to the current taboos. Being subject to those taboos does not warrant the self-important garbage you've been spouting. Whatever your problem is, I think it's seated deeper than whether I personally want to see "fuck" fall into common usage.
Wow. Touched a nerve with you didn't I? Good luck with your campaign, I'm glad we have you to advance human society. You have the literary skills of an advanced troll, nice work.
What kind of "family" restaurant uses such an obvious spoonerism? The same kind of company that thinks it's cool to push "FCUK" right into the faces of my children in the high street.
I also think the guy had a valid complaint, but his reaction is that of an utter tit.
I hope they both disappear up each other's arses in a spectacular feat of Escher-like physics.

How crushed would you feel watching all that happen from so far away, and being utterly helpless?
It's bad enough with regular software, but someone somewhere is having a huge Homer "DOH!" moment..
I feel for ya..
We need a supply of developers in their 20s.
You didn't just say "paradigm", you said "paradigm shift"!!
Hell, now my post says it too. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

I'm sticking with the Prozac though.
Shittest. Article. Ever.

Because General Mills aren't in a position to collect information on the way you eat your cereal.
I don't share the paranoia, but the obvious needed spelling out here.
I may not be understanding the way things work around here, but it says "Posted by CowboyNeal", not Zonk.
Incredible, I think.. yes.. I can. I can actually see *spittle* in this post. How did he do that?
Is there nothing they can't do?

Sure, that's the "Blue Screen of Death" license.
we can just google for aliens now? Seti must be pissed.

LAMB: When did Wikipedia start?
WALES: It started in January of 2001.
LAMB: Where?
WALES: On the Internet. [...]
I stopped reading right there.
I may be missing your point, but that's a bad example; you'd surely do:
foreach (object item in collection) {
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
I'm hoping it means I can do:
var x = new System.IO.StreamWriter();
instead of
System.IO.StreamWriter x = new System.IO.StreamWriter();

The apathy is much more disappointing, isn't it?

You're claiming some kind of twisted "first post" aren't you.

Taliban, huh? This is priceless. Please, do go on.

Yeah, bury Google. That will win the hearts and minds of the market.
What a sorry bunch of people all round.

Surely it's too early to be slating what they're doing with this technology. Don't you think they might be taking an incremental approach?
Then again, I *do* sound like another Google apologist, don't I?
