    Huh? Didn't they produce pictures of the hijackers a couple days after 9/11? I mean, how long does it take to look at the passenger list and narrow down the ones that aren't soccer moms?

    Then why did your post get +4 Interesting?

    Think of it another way. Is the probably of flipping a coin heads 4 (or more) out of 8 times 0.5^4 = 0.125? No, it's 50-50.

    Not really a great statistic you created there. maybe this guy is better than average.

    Also, what you calculated was the probably to not draw in 4 consecutive games, not 4 out of 8. There are the same number of ways to lose 4 out of 8 as there are to win 4 out of 8. Thus, there is a 50-50 chance of winning or losing. Therefore, it doesn't matter if we're talking about 4 out of 8, or just 1 game. Based on your statistic, the probability of winning or losing 4 out of 8 is 45%, not 0.17%.

    Crap, the last telemarketer that called me was female. Incidentally, did you know that sexual harassment is not a crime outside the workplace? At least, that's what two cops told me...

  8. Re:Why I quit school on The Ugly Underbelly of Coder Culture · · Score: 1

    You underestimate yourself. There's a lot of knowledge that comes with experience that a quick wit cannot make up for. Fresh college grades don't know shit. Most can't copy a file on the command line. You only do programming for 4 semesters in a typical CS program. So.. they have what, 18 months of novice experience?

    You really do very little actual programming in an undergrad CS course. In life, sometimes you have to spend hours, days, weeks, on a problem before you figure out it's untenable. But think about all the peripheral knowledge you acquired to figure that out. How many times have they done that?

    Those who lived in Springfield/Eugene Oregon always knew.

    1. Matt Groening was from Oregon.
    2. They have a statute of the founder of the town(Jebediah Springfield), and Eugene has a statue of its founder Eugene Skinner.
    3. Principal's name is Skinner.
    4. There's a Nuclear plant nearby.

    There's probably more. Actually, I always heard Matt was from Springfield.

    Once I saw a guy get thrown to the ground and punched in the face about 10 times, his head bouncing off the pavement, then left there knocked out.

    Hey MadFan, how's it feel knowing that if anyone asks you the question, "Have you ever been sexually attracted to men?", technically, the answer is "Yes."?

    Remember, lying is a sin.

    Yeah, I guess that makes sense if you think the trees fossilized and the other trees turned into a gagillian kilograms of coal a few thousand years ago during the flood.

    You said, "Blindly saying theres no evidence will only get you applauses from people who dont want to know."

    So, I have to assume you're serious. In which case, what business do you have discussing geology since you believe all geologic processes happened in a few thousand years? Shouldn't you just say, "It's magic"?

    Magic put those sea fossils on Mt. Everest. Magic created limestone and chalk. Magic created the Grand Canyon. Magic created fossil fuels, not fossils. I read another of your posts. You seem like a reasonably intelligent fellow. (except for lacking the empathy to realize homosexuality is not a choice) But you seriously believe in Noah's Ark and the flood? Seriously man, don't come on Slashdot with that shit. It's called Trolling. Keep that shit to your self around here.

    Get a bunch of X-10 crap on ebay and setup motion-detect lights all over inside and out.
    Get a X-10 usb transmitter and make all the lights go wonky. Then add voice recognition using Perlbox.

  21. A telephone in every room! on Ask Slashdot: Shortcuts To a High Tech House · · Score: 1

    Find some little voice coil speakers: Yard sales, computer store dungeons, your kids toys, etc...

    Get some wire: Same as above, also rail stations, baseball fields, transformer substations, etc..

    Run a pair of wires into every room. On one end all the wires meet and are spliced to the tip/ring of your phone jack. On the other end, solder the tip to a speaker. To dial, tap the other wire to the speaker using Loop Disconnect Dialing

    Then hold that wire on there. Fun fact, the speaker is also your microphone!
