What I mean: the article says "let's not forget that we can do this, too!"
Can we? I've... never heard of anything like this. Which annoys me, because I'd really like to do it. I want to learn coding, but I am not a self-motivated hacker stereotype. I need a project given to me, and if I'm operating without guidance, there is a ceiling on the types of problems I can solve in a timely fashion. I'm not stupid, but I'm not brilliant either, or at least I haven't been called that since high school, (which I dropped out of) and generally programming is considered something only a supergenius should be allowed to do, especially by programmers.
I know this isn't true, as I've taken a programming course once at a community college and did well and enjoyed myself. But taking a course means I get to do a bunch of stuff that I never use because I can't find work related to it, if at all, and so I forget it. An apprenticeship is the only way I can think of that would supply me with steady work to cement the skills in my head. As far as I know, apprenticeships do not exist, because those who would be masters usually believe in the old-school cowboy hacker DIY-elitism. The most help they'll offer is "here's a book about a language you might be able to understand. Get to work, you pleb."
What work? I have no idea what I want to code! Just give me something.
The knee-jerk is a conditioned response from seeing a host of studies that clearly are propaganda. Nearly every study that says something bad is. This one is legit, but I can understand how it'd be easy to miss; the main reason I feel it's on the level is that it succeeds in muddying its own stance.
"craigslist zen" is going a step too far when they exert effort to prevent other people from improving their dipshit website. For the good of all society, they need to get bought out by somebody competent to run the operation, and that won't happen until Newmark is out of the way.
Yeah, but D&D's main purpose is a wargaming system. Actual RP is the extreme minority, even in groups that enjoy it. Although I haven't and don't want to try it, I think it's smart of WizCoast to go back to those roots with their newer products. They actually have stuff that is consciously trying to split the wargaming aspect out of D&D. Maybe if that becomes more popular, the RP will have some room to grow?*
*Nah, it'd be the killing blow. But I can dream.
I realize this was intended as a joke, and I understand why it's funny. But has it occured to anyone else that it's also entirely plausible? Turn the stem cells to white cells, reprogram them, give them little CNT arms to wiggle around, poof, you've got a bunch of injectable robots.
Hey, amen, brother. All I'm saying is that this has reached a critical mass where we'd probably be better off if all of any related whatever just did a fucking sundive.
It's an exact 1:1 copy of something so retardedly basic one could easily accidentally handcraft. It's practically just providing a canonical example of exception handling.
I mean... seriously. This is what Oracle is wasting everyone's time with. And they're allowed to. FTGE.
Well, I'm just saying that with this much pointless intrigue and backbiting, they should really do something to stay fresh. Maybe take a page from pro wrestling and introduce some homoeroticism.
I'm really starting to feel like the best way to describe the Pirate Bay drama and pirate-activism in general is "jumped the shark." I agree with them and all, but this shit is getting so stupid it's boring.
If the judge's statement is even a half-truth, the code in question checks a number, and passes it somewhere if it's a good number.
That is what all goddamn code does. A dumb American high schooler could accomplish that in about twenty minutes if you refused to let them leave until they did, because if you aren't doing that, you haven't written a program! A seven year old could probably do it faster; they haven't "learned" yet that they're dumb.
The lawyer is a disingenuous jackass who assumed that the judge, like him, would see a piece of code and assume it's an arcane fucking ritual without even trying to parse it. He deserves derision.
In a shocking report released by slashdot contributor mcgrew today, the Times and other newspapers use "scare tactics" to "bring eyeballs and ad revenue." Experts were appalled to find that media outlets across the nation were engaging in what amounts to terrorism in a ploy to control America's eyeballs, extorting advertising agencies in the process. It is not known at this time what reporters want to do with our eyeballs, considering that it is currently illegal to sell human body parts; it is assumed that such large businesses would have a tough time discreetly participating in the black market.
I don't feel like they're going to do anything bad, but how did nobody working there notice that the first and last sentences of that statement are mutually exclusive? They claim you keep your IP rights, then specifically enumerate every IP right there is as belonging to them! Are machines generating their boilerplate now, too?
Here's the thing: No one's saying small children should be excluded from screening.
Where did you get that idea? There shouldn't be any screening. And if there truly must be, it needs to be applied by humans, not robots made of meat. A human fucking being would not have searched that child.

I will forget this, even though I want it. I hope there is another article when there's an English translation.

Yeah, it's like they believe they have a wealth of historical context to draw on or something! Ridiculous.

Blah, cancelling misspent moderation.
Your pen works just fine and you know it. You're just procrastinating by inventing dumb problems to ask slashdot about.

"...drive Barack Obama's positive numbers down, or vice versa?"
I wonder what the effect of driving positive numbers' Barack Obama down would be.
I don't have mod points, so I'm just going to tell you not to quit your day job. :|

...is how easy it is to find prior art. I've played at least three games on my crappy old droidpad that had controllers.

Not one comment in this thread addresses the most important question regarding this issue.
If the bed makes itself, who has to lie in it? Does it lie in itself? How would there be any room for me?

No. Not even a little.

Now we just have to wait for Intel to give a goddamn about it. Quick, somebody tell AMD to be competitive again for a few months.

So then... if you're criminally insane?

Thanks for invalidating your argument by comfirming your bias!
