Seriously? I mean I've been disagreeing with Grishnakh here for almost this entire thread, but I can't help but agree with him that you're being ridiculous. There is NO REASON AT ALL to believe that current trends in population growth will stay the same for the next millenium. Sure, a shrinking population can have certain problematic effects, but 'Oh my god in 1000 years there will be 50 Japanese people left!' is not one of those effects, and you're just making yourself look like a crazy person by claiming it is.
What if someone comes into your house and kills you? Explain to me how suicide is more selfish than murder in general, not how suicide is more selfish than one very specific case of homicide.
It is superior to the other algorithms that entered the competition. I find it interesting that the TFA doesn't mention how many submissions were made.
I think his point is that they weren't scamming people for millions of dollars, it's more like they were commiting petty theft. Yeah, it's wrong, and probably illegal (although there may not have been many laws about this stuff back then). But it's not 'nazi-wrong'.
The awesome thing about scripts that only use the CLI is that it's easy to use them in other scripts. When your script expects a user to mess around with dialog boxes, that becomes much harder.
Well that doesn't really matter does it? I'm sure it's possible to hate Al Qaida and the guys invading your country at the same time. Given the fact that Al Qaida didn't start this war, it's easier to hate the invaders, they're the ones attacking.

How is suicide more selfish than murder?
> Also, giving up reproductive capability early without a valid medical reason is irresponsible, in my opinion.
Why? It's not like we're running out of humans. Who exactly do we have this repsonsibility to stay fertile to?
Yeah because people are constantly trying to poison 'wealthy, influential people and families'.
Your comment post mode is set to 'code'?
No they don't?

Heterosexual people don't have sexual problems?
Traumatic insemination baby!
That doesn't make sense. In that case he should count penetrating objects rather than orifices.
Also I can't believe I'm having this discussion :p
4?! I thought nasal sex was limited to dolphins...
Slow reader, are we?

Well that would depend on the policy that is in place.

That program sounds like it would totally break on "B" or "ABB".
Good luck getting into a cinema wearing one of those.
You win this thread.
In this zombie-apocalypse scenario flamethrowers will be very dangerous to use!
This ridiculous hype makes me want to throw up. Can we please introduce a rule where we can have only one article that mentions the iPad per day?
> They don't make me feel crummy through empathy
Don't worry, with practice, empathy will fade! Consider this the first step on your journey to sysadminhood.
The first time I saw tubgirl I felt like I was going to be sick. Does that count?
Of course these days I can browse 4chan without feeling anything. Oh, to be innocent again... :D

Fair enough, it seems I misunderstood you :)
