  1. Re:I wouldn't hold my breath on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    That's for the good of everybody, telling you with what to get high with, and what not to, isn't.

  2. Re:Think about this: on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    Good logic, only, there IS no substitute for meth for some people - like the workaholics who don't need a high - just the ability to pull all-nighters at a moments notice - something meth is good at. Also, why does everybody hate meth here? It's either that or crack, but still, shouldn't /.ers love stimulants? Neither is acutely toxic, actually they have a very good therapeutic range, only issue is the wicked hangover - something that is treated easier than alcohol hangover. Not trolling, just wanted to know.

    I thought by cold medicine he was referring to [pseudo]ephedrine pills, which are very easy to make in to great quality meth, but your's sounds right too. Except that you are oversimplifying excitotoxicity, which can be counteracted by GABA subtype A receptor agonists - (alcohol, sleeping pills, stuff like that - simple enough). My $0.02.

    Dude, 13 y.o. are already dying from heart attacks, and literally twice as fast, if they smoke (very likely in some [my] country). Check the Wikipedia article.

    I guess this should be sarcasm, but it matches so well with christian beliefs, it's uncanny. Bravo, sir.

    Whoa! Deja vu! It's like I'm reading LISP evangelism. All well, Python IS pretty much a LISP dialect, albeit an interpreted one, without the parenthesis (is that a con? *ducks*).

  7. Re:it's always a good time to try functional on Time to Get Good At Functional Programming? · · Score: 1

    I think that's because Haskell is a dataflow language.

  8. Re:No, look at the scope on Time to Get Good At Functional Programming? · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, yeah. C isn't faster, nor is FORTRAN, at least on parallel architectures. Don't even talk about assembly. What is needed is a ground-up optimized language for parallel processing, like Fortress. Otherwise, I agree about the memory problems - we need bandwidth and low latency, not volume. I think it's called the memory wall, BTW.

    Could be actually... or maybe we're being used by machines as batteries, and included in this worldwide hallucination as a tranquilizer. And ... NO CARRIER

  10. Re:And yet.... on Visual Hallucinations Are a Normal Grief Reaction · · Score: 1

    Whoa, thats, like, deep. Sorry about you man. Personally, I only remember fleeting moments of... well not dreams, they seem more like memories, only they don't have a place, time or context, just an aggregation of perceptions. They stay that way until they materialize a day or two later in something like a deja vu moment, only I actually remembered what happened. Kind of like the way Death's memory works in the Discworld, only by far not that precise. My dreams themselves, I don't remember or acknowledge in any way. Not that I forget them, it's as if it never happened. OTOH, I have some real trouble differentiating reality from fiction in my own mind (not real dreaming, more like fantasies), so I feel like, for instance I am talking on the phone and looking at it from a distance. Really weird. My $0.02.

    Ah, yes, but x86 is not a Scalable Processor ARChiteture with descent SIMD instructions and monster RAM bandwidth, as any true GPGPU would require. BTW, wouldn't it be better if they all had some sort of generic interface, possibly an Instruction Set based Architecture?

    Uhh, NTFS has ACLs just like *NIX... Though I agree with the rest. Ironic, the M$ solution the most portable, and all that...

  19. Re:ZFS!! on On the State of Linux File Systems · · Score: 1

    So? uncripple it. The IFS framework is still there, and then just nLight it in. Not so hard. Besides, even now (probably), having the NT directory tree split up on multiple FAT volumes is still faster than NTFS, when your HD is mostly full (i.e. most of the time).

  20. Re:ZFS!! on On the State of Linux File Systems · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, you can still compile ZFS as linux kernel module, only you can not distribute it compiled in. What I'm wondering is why the GRUB guys haven't added basic read support, and somebody sticking the ZFS driver in the initrd. Just my $0.02.

  21. Re:ZFS!! on On the State of Linux File Systems · · Score: 1

    Better yet, throw in a per directory setting on filesystem behaviour, so it is effectively as if you have mounted a special partition for each dir, with it's own optimizations, only without the mother of all fstabs hanging around.
