Well the fact that a 64-bit processor can do 64-bit calculations in the same time as a 32-bit processor of the same clock speed can do 32-bit calculations, I'd say it's hardly something worth 'getting over'.

You hardly need to be a Savant to know how to spell. And besides, aren't Slashdot editors supposed to actually edit the submissions?
If I were participating in moderation I'd mod you up right now. That's a damn good question. What is the fucking point?!
ident is a complete waste of time. The majority of IRC users are dialup, dsl, or cable and hence have control over the strings returned by ident requests. I personally run a daemon called 'mmidentd' which always returns a random ident string, plus in most irc clients (BitchX, for example) you can use a command like/ircuser to set it anyway.
You never see anyone who doesn't have skills act this way and stay employed for very long. Only the hardcore elite programmers can actually get away with being difficult, because in the long term they are *worth it*.
It's pretty obvious isn't it? Without some form of law enforcement, there would be no disincentive for breaking the law. Of course, the law isn't necessarily what is right, but it is intended to represent a means for protecting the innocent from the malicious.

I beg to differ. John Lennon got it right when he said:
"Yoko Ono, oh no!"

Err... circuit diagrams?
That would be plagarism, which is a crime, not to mention immoral.

What? And destroy the only redeeming features of the pile of filth that is the USA?
Destroy New York and San Francisco and all that would be left would be a bunch of poorly educated, unimaginative drones.

Exactly.

Are you insane?
x86 Assembler existed way before Bill.
Yeah, but they did it, didn't they?
Why bring their effort down? At least now no one else has to do it.
Yeah, well they're not exactly editors if they don't edit anything, are they?
Guess the marketing guys didn't factor in the Slashdot Psyche ;)
"New Zealand has a privatised electricity production industry"
hahaha, and which Pacific city's central business district was without power for nearly a month not too long ago?
Only useful if you've got a time machine to make a quick getaway when they realise you fucked with them ;)
It's disgusting that Square make such excellent games that their choice of platform affects platform sales? How is that disgusting?
"STOP POKING ME!!!!" -- Protoss Observer, Starcraft
That first appeared in Warcraft, the original. It's been a running joke in Blizzard games ever since.
I think you may be mistaking me for your typical ignorant American slashbot.
Also, what's the deal with that Art Of Living crap? Didn't you know that Ravi Shankar is a con artist?
"Do you even know why?"

How patronising you are.
"It seems more technology means the 'cops' of cops and robbers get the upperhand."
Well, you've trolled me. "Cops and Robbers" is not a game. When people have crimes committed against them then the perpetrators need to be punished.
Have you ever been Robbed? Assaulted? Raped?
I think you watch too many trashy films. Criminals do not deserve an even playing field when it comes to law enforcement.
I agree.
I can't believe it's been going on for so long.
Okay... I PGP'd a 27mb zip file full of jpegs, and it came out only 15k larger.
You're a fucking idiot.
I guess they musn't have given it a chance, as I've never met anyone who had watched the show a few times and honestly didn't like it.
"Jon Katz in his underwear"
Thanks pal, thanks a lot. And I haven't even eaten breakfast yet...
"expensive actors"
Umm, somehow I don't think that even if they COULD afford 'expensive actors' that they'd replace themselves in their own movie...
Besides, who could possibly be better at being rediculous but the Monty Python guys?
Actually, a lot of "high-end" approved people are made and live outside of the US and Canada.
