    Half of Slashdot's readers are below the median, not the average. Get your terminology straight.

  9. Re:Linux or Java? on Sun Announces Linux Deal With Chinese Government · · Score: 1
    But don't people in China speak Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin) - hence would be able to understand the documents for Red Flag Linux anyway?

    That's exactly what they were afraid of.

    Uh-oh. Use of cons will henceforth be illegal. News at 11.

  14. By sender. on How Do You Organize Your Data? · · Score: 1
    Which is what mutt/pine/... do when you move over a message and press s+ENTER. I save everything that's not spam and is really addressed to me (no general announcement sort of emails), or is otherwise interesting. Simple, requires no time for now where does this go?.

    When searching for something, I usually know who sent it to me (or what kinds of mails I generally get from X). For all other cases, grep is my friend.

    Interestingly enough, there's no easy way to do this extremely simple thing (save by sender) in the GUI mail readers I've tried (Mozilla, Evolution, etc.), they make you drag-and-drop the email to a folder - try doing that when you have 200+ folders to choose from... (and don't tell me about Evolution and vfolders, I have years worth of email organized this way and I like it, dammit!)

  16. Game theory? on Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory · · Score: 3, Funny

    You keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  17. Re:quarter million lines of code? on GnuCash - A Call For Help · · Score: 1
    But come on, whitespace? Are you serious? ;-)

    Come on yourself! Most (reasonable) programmers will insert a similar amount of whitespace in their programs anyway, no matter what language they're hacking in.

    It's just that with languages such as Python and Haskell you actually put that whitespace to good use. Your code becomes much cleaner looking, and more importantly shorter, since you save at least one line per code block (the closing curly brace line in C/C++/Java etc.), while actually improving readability.

    Try it, most decent editor will take care of most indentation issues for you, and you'll get accustomed to it in no time.

  18. Re:Dead! on One Last New Episode of Futurama · · Score: 1
    Shit... You're right. The message on his site says:
    The Filthy Critic was killed in a bicycle collision late Thursday night. He died the way he lived--wobbling aimlessly in the slow lane.

    I don't know what to say. I really liked that guy. The funniest, most accurate, no-bullshit movie reviews and general commentary.... I'll miss them a lot. My condolences to Mrs. Filthy.
