Look, I don't know how I could have been more outrageous than I have been in this thread, from the very beginning of it. I've run out of ideas. If you still don't get the joke, I don't know what to say.
Are you the same racist Troll i had to smack down a couple of weeks back in a diferent Thread?
No, I've never trolled before. This is my first crack at it, and it works so well it's scary. Slashdot is sarcasm impaired. If you want evidence, look at this thread from the root.
If you were really a Christian, there would be more Jesus-praising in your post, and less blasphemy and talk of damnation. You can stop the act now - you're not fooling anyone.
Repent, or expect to spend eternity in Hell! For more information, head over here.
The subject of this thread takes on an ironic new meaning...
What makes grappler's posts more important than the rest that his posts start life at +2 automatically?
Because my posts speak the Truth, which is outlined for us in the Word which He gave us. Everyone knows that good Karma goes to followers of the Word.
This is reasoning I would expect from a 6 year old.
And I suppose you won't like this reasoning either:
Is there a God? Well, if there was not a God, what would life mean? Nothing! Is life meaningless? Do you want your life to mean nothing? I sure don't! Therefore, there is a God.
Once you see the light, follow me over and try Jesus for yourself.
I know. Man, you're anal. I just have a habit of using an apostrophe when using the possesive form of a word, and of course in the case of "it", this is wrong. My mistake, lack of proofreading. Sorry.
On a side note - who moderated me down? That's not a troll. Look at my post in the last thread - that's a troll (and proud of it!) Dan Quale did actually say that, and I think it's relevant.
Actually, I know nothing about www.newlifetoday.com - I went on a short hunt for a suitably rediculous, preachy, evangelical, and patronizing site that would fit the mood of the post. When I found www.newlife.com, my hunt was over.
For your enjoyment, you can also check out www.wwjd.com, which presents a silly attempt at a new "hip", "totally rad", "awesome" and "amazing" face for Christianity, thus making it "cool" and "with it".
Those people were not actually created by Almighty God. They are creatures of a more demonic sort, and since their skin is not pure and white like that of decent folk, they are born hellbound, and need to know their place. Of course, some of the "softer" Christians make vallient efforts to convert the starving masses with a "food for conversions" type program. I wish them the best, even though they will burn in hell for associating with the filthy commoners.
Oh! And if YOU feel you are ready, you too can try Jesus!
It's people like you that make trolling so much fun. And all you other trolls out there - if you're going to troll (I rarely do) at least do it right for god's sake.
It was leveraging one monopoly to try and get another that started the bad blood to begin with. If they keep the OS and apps separate, and compete legitimately, that's great if they do well. I think that it would very much benefit the industry and the consumer to break up the company.
I personally couldn't ge glader to see the court's decision on school prayer. I don't like seeing the "free speech" card played in this one because then the bible thumping republicans pounce on it, as if a kid going to the microphone on graduation day with backing from the administration to say some born-again prayer for the benefit of the "saved" in the audience were protected speech. Blech.
You know, it's the parents and sunday school teachers of those kids that do it - they send there kid up there, and you know what they're thinking: "hehe, we got around the rule! it's the kid that's saying the prayer, so it's free speech". In general need of a smack.
I read a summary of the decision, and it looked great to me. Didn't read the actual text though.
What I don't understand is why THREE JUDGES were AGAINST it. That's the legacy of those twelve years that we had Reagan and Bush, I suppose.
Vote for Harry Browne. He won't win, but it'll make more of a diffence (to increase the legitimacy and recognition of the Libertarian party) than anything else you can do with your vote.
Wow. Um, well, what can I say? I guess I wasn't the first by a long shot to make that connection. I read the entire first page of the site, but I didn't read the faq or the results, so I didn't see any mention of Iocaine powder. I feel stupid.
I swear, I had no intention of copying or re-posting anything.
It's just like that game in the movie "Princess Bride", where a man reasons that to poison your drinking partner, you put the poison into your own glass. If he is suspicious he will switch with you when your back is turned, and will bring about his own doom. However, if he is a step cleverer than that, it becomes impossible to outsmart him - as the reverse-reverse psychologies pile up, the game boils down to random chance. Of course, the hero in the movie knew this and poisoned both glasses. After his opponent got thorougly lost in a maze of pseudo-logic, he took his poison and that was that.
That's the kind of visual image I get of someone trying to write a program that would win this contest - the "inconceivable!" guy from princess bride.
I wonder how a simple markov chain would do. That's where the probability of every move is based on the outcome of the previous game. For instance, "2 of the 3 times his rock beat my paper, his next move was scissors, so since his rock just beat my paper again, I'll anticipate scissors this time and go rock." I think this kind of reasoning would beat your typical human roshambo player in the long run, since a human would typically have a certain response based on what just happened.
Obviously, it's different with a computer. The program might anticipate this kind of thing, and has no general "feeling" that would you any reason to link a round to the one that came before. The more I think about this, the more I think it's just a matter of guessing right what other people will do.
If Chinese people used encrypted email, what would the government do? Come over and shoot them? Come over and demand the key and then shoot them? Or, possibly, nothing (like if they were using keyword searches)?
I'm going to pull out an old arguement: if EVERYONE used encryption, whether or not they have 'something to hide', it would be impossible to monitor them. I'd like to see this done in the U.S. but in China, echelon is very, very real.
It is 1984 in China RIGHT NOW.
Perhaps the U.S. of A. finally has a good reason for export of strong encryption, eh? Democracy, anyone?
Poor Walter. I think his page will be the latest net craze, like that Turkish "I kiss you!" guy. I wouldn't want the attention, even if it would get me laid. Yeah, I'm a virgin, and a 19 year old one at that. It's not that I'm ugly or repulsive, so much as I haven't really tried and wouldn't know how to go about it if I wanted to (unless I just found some skank, but stupid girls repulse me. Maybe that's my problem). Well, you guys probably understand perfectly. But enough about my problems...
Incidentally, anyone remember the ebay auction where some kid put up a listing titled, "My virginity"? That was great. Completely well written summary, too, loaded with stereotypes.

I believe Dan Quayle had some very probing, worthwhile thoughts on this:
"There is water on Mars, which means there is oxygen. Since there is oxygen, this means we can breathe."
We need this person in a decision-making capacity where space exploration is concerned.
