Never questioned the integrity of Interhack.
I questioned Emmett's ability to competently research and provide journalism unbiased to the public. You, nor members of Interhack (I'm assuming, very well could be wrong with this) are not journalists (nor pretend to be). Because of this, you merely were posting your findings, because Emmett's involvement both personally and professionaly with you outside of Slashdot he has comprised the whole premise behind journalism.
Which I've seen him do time and time again.
I don't find where you work and post things about the quality of your work.
Hm, well lets see here. People get criticized all the time, especially/. posters. If you can't take it - than don't be in the public eye.
I work with Clyde on Time City....Matter of fact, I don't even know if Clyde is involved with Interhack.
I'm sure his interhack email address that goes to the time city mailing list *never* meant anything to you. Oops, caught again.
Emmett, it's really sad that I'm a damned programmer and I know more about jouranlistic integrity than yourself.
As for/., it's good for laughs, and links.

Hm, can we same shameless plug.. considering slashdot uses bugs I can't believe that they are slamming coremetrics.
Slashdot used to get worse on a monthly basis, then weekly, now it's with every post.
For those legal pad notes, which I do as well look at the Crosspad. It's pretty hefty in cost (not sure of the exact price, more than $400USD) Definitely useful for those meetings and what ever when you don't have a computer handy.
I can type 140wpm. How fast can you write?? This doesn't seem like a good move. I seem to recall from somewhere (don't quote me) that the average person writes between 60-70 words per minute. That is also the average typing speed of most computer users (not windows/mac users, real computer users) my hand hurts after a few minutes writing with a pen, while I get a few hours without pain typing. this seems rather reverse-innovative in my own opinion, humble as it be.

Caffeine Vault
·
· Score: 2
I can attest to a caffeine over does. Deadline at work, went about 3 weeks, hardly any sleep drinking about 6 quad-shot mocha's a day at minimum. At the end of the time I woke up one morning (after just falling asleep 2 hours prior) with an agonozing pain in my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack. Nope, too much caffeine cause my heart to freak out on me. It hurt. Really bad. I quit very soon after that.
God has not sent AIDS to destroy us, merely to guide us to the correct path.
And you have the road map here I am assuming from your rants. I am a Christian, but I am no where near as arrogant as you. I really hope you do read this one. Repeat after me: NO HUMAN KNOWS THE WILL OR INTENT OF GOD. PERIOD. EVER. And you never will, so do not patronize scientists who may be in divine light with their genetic research. Perhaps that is God's plan and you are a tool of the devil. You never know because any human's futile little mind couldn't conceive of a fraction of God's plan. moral of my post: Don't speak for God.
Perhaps he wouldn't be. But the best types of people are those who can graciously accept criticism and not mindlessly attack or have emotional outbursts in response. I think that our community (Open Source) being so dependant upon his [RMS] blessing is slightly ridiculous. With a community brought together to promote peer growth and a equal tiered organization, why do we herald RMS so highly? Yes he has done great things, yes he has done things I would never do - some things I couldn't do. But he is just a man, he is fallible. I believe most often he is in error. I am still happy with the work (life) he has contributed.
Amen! I really do think RMS is so arrogant, but I haven't really had too many one on one conversations with him (only once did we speak) I would much prefer see an open source or non-profit domain, that actually gets upheld. I'd love to have myproject.oss or mywebsite.osw (open source software, open source website)
twas my point in my above statement. Just defending the Ppro - I loved the chip when it came out. 5 years is too long to wait for something new when 5 weeks makes it obsolete.
their last innovation was the pentium pro really. granted, not a huge leap from the 386. It definitely was an advance. However the Pentium 4 still uses the same core as a Pentium Pro. I purchased my ppro in 1996. Then another one that had this silly little 'ii' after the Pentium in 98. then I got an athlon because it at least has a core that wasn't designed over 5 years ago.
Forget the new area of inherently different AMD chips for desktop and portable. I would much prefer to see Transmeta or chips that are designed purely for portable use - the companies major focus. I firmly believe that to be the best, you have to dedicate your all. Off of this, why should AMD try to make a portable Duron or Athlon. Make a better desktop chip with those resources. Lower the power consumption and heat so you can raise the Mhz. Not so you can fit in a laptop. Let someone manufacture a parallel SMP crusoe architecture for laptop performanc.. that's what I'd like to see happen.

I wouldn't go be so hasty as to dub this as error per se. Remember the recent anouncement of a smart gene? Whilst pointless, the DNA in the nucleas of our cells makes up our bodily make up. This also includes our brain. Hence, without DNA we would have no brain and would have no intelligence. I believe (And this would be very difficult to contest) that our base intelligence capacity (from birth) is purely determined from a DNA standpoint, after that I suppose it would be the nurture end of things.
I think it just lends itself to the fact that most people are stupid. This does include a percentage of slashdot readers. Hence, stupid moderators. Dude, this guy posted the same l33t posts as me, I'm gonna mod his ass up! Hopefully humanity stands a better chance than Slashdot moderators.
Merely mapping (which I don't think that they have, considering we don't even know when we stop mapping the human genome.. it's not like there is a big sign that says, "You have reached the end of the genome, thank you, now go home") doesn't achieve ANYTHING. At all, I wrote DNA analysis software to identify possible "interesting" strands as they went through the processor. The methods used to map DNA, if just stuck in there will contain A LOT of contamination and misreads, hence their so called complete map is one that would be analagous to that drawn of a third grader with a crayon. Granted, they are doing a significant amount of research and should be commended for it, but just mapping doesn't mean anything. The thing that I really have a problem with is that Celera just dumps all their gene reads into the patent office and gets rewarded the intellectual property for said read. This is complete crap - they did not discover anything that should be worthy of a patent. Maybe we should branch off a new patent office for this type of work. The read should be forced to be open and free to use after 3 years maximum, this will stop someone who figures out the gene for cancer, obesity, intelligence, whatever from forming a monopoly screwing us out of healthy, slender, really smart people. However, I know a lot of you think that this work would not be done if they didn't patent this work so they could sell it to pharmo's to make money. You are right, they should be able to have limited commercial rights to it. The ability to cure a plague upon humanity should be a non-commercial engagement. Just my overly long $0.02.
