Why's that? I don't find "life" something with intrinsic value.
Then kill yourself, please.
Well, I hope you don't weed your garden, put down ant powder, use anti-bacterial surface wipes or do anything else that may kill or harm any form of life.
So you are saying that jews in Auschwitz were not smart enough to get out, therefore they deserved to die.
No one said that, idiot. They said intelligence isn't always enough to get you out of a deadly situation, especially when another intelligence is trying to keep you there.
Nope, plenty of brilliant, competent people are not twats. It's like the good looking girls that know they're good looking and act like it makes them better than everyone.
That is the terse answer, yes. Of course some people think that going into detail about ICMP and data fields may be useful, though I suspect most businesses would prefer an answer similar to:
"It is a tool that allows me to find congested, broken, or inefficient network routes."
The Holy Thursday and Good Friday liturgies of the Greek Orthodox Church to this day ascribe to Jews such as myself the guilt for the death of Christ. Naturally, we find this upsetting. Do you think that the Greek Orthodox Church and its priests should be prosecuted?
Don't worry about it, from what I gather God sent his son, Jesus (himself) TO die. It's all part of this 'mysterious plan'. Plus Jesus was a jew anyway, and on top of all that he never existed, so seriously, don't let it upset you. Just tell them your invisble friend is better than theirs (and technically the same being) and move on with your life.
Freedom of speech does not protect you from wilfully harming others, which is exactly what this person did. He deliberately harmed anyone who believes in a particular religion.
It's no different than running a fake competition where someone random wins a million dollars, and then refusing to give them any money.
So a religion then, only replace a million dollars with salvation and prayers.
One wonders if you'd be as sympathetic to Pussy Riot if they'd been neo-nazis disrupting a synagogue service.
Any group disrupting any religious gathering is good in my books. Religion disrupts my life far more than it has any business doing and seem to think they are allowed to do so with impunity.
quickly! must google: job interview site:xkcd.com and post whatever is returned. Seriously what relevance does that have? He doesnt even ask an interview question.
The relevence it's about job interviews and this thread is about job intereviews and this is slashdot so you get an oblig xkcd in literally every different thread. just because you don't like it or whatever doesn't change the fact job interviews are relevent to job interviews.
I had a job interview in West Michigan that I completely crushed, technically speaking. I didn't get the job, so I called the hiring manager (who was about 5 years my senior) and asked point blank why they hadn't wanted to hire me. Turns out I wasn't a "good personality fit." Really? We didn't go out for beers. How could he even know that? He had spent the interview practically insulting my mother and my side of the state (Southeast Michigan). It really seemed like this guy would only hire relatively young, white men who shared a quite narrow worldview. West Michigan is an odd place: so beautiful, yet so populated with crazy people.
From just that one paragraph I can tell you're not the sort of person I would want to work with regardless of technical skill in whatever field. To be honest, probably the better you are at it, the more of an insufferable twat you become.
When I hear news like these I always wonder what type of idiot thinks that shooting the texter solves anything?
Thank you for providing an answer.
p.s. The shooter will spend the rest of his life in jail, how's that preferable to someone annoyingly texting in a movie?
Maybe the next inconsiderate douchebag thinks twice before texting, because maybe there is someone else willing to shoot inconsiderate people. The shooter sacrificed his comfort and life for civilization and the desire of rational people everywhere to have quiet movie theaters.
What you trigger happy kill the annoying texter people keep missing is the shooter ruined the film for everyone involved not just one guy who could, what, see a glow out of the corner of his eye? Hear some faint tapping? Now no one gets to see the movie, everyone has to hang around and give statements, one guy is dead, a family ruined, the shooters family are probably pretty distraght too. The whole cinema probably closed ruinung how many peoples plans? And the guy texting is the 'inconsiderate douchbeag'? Fuck you.
So, on one side you have EG article with detailed explanations on why it is/was hard to develop for WiiU, with concrete examples, written by a dev. On the other side, on NintendoEthusiast, you've got the following statement:
"I am not a programmer, but from what I gather the Wii U is not more difficult to develop for than other platforms."
That basically sounds like a discussion of an adult with a 3-year old.
Don't forget it's a tweet, a renowned source of excellence and credibility.
"Digital Foundry has published an article from an anonymous but trusted developer outlining the challenges of developing for the Nintendo Wii U. The piece confirms some common perceptions of Nintendo, such as their attitude to third party developers, and presents a few surprises, like networking code not being made available to outside developers until the console was almost on sale."
I have read that time and time again, and every time it seems to indicate that this is the current state of affairs.
If you read the whole article you couldn't fail to realise he's talking about early stuff. Key clues being the bit about ninty coming to announce the thing, all the talk of rapidly changing dev kits, the way he's talking about getting a game out for release, talking about ninty handling the transition to HD and the fact he says it's early days and most documentation for it is light or missing. Fair enough if you like it, more power to you, but don't try and change what they said to something you can defend against.
Everyone google everyone. When someone is asking for employment, seek a job, seek a position, ask for marriage, new neighbors etc...you'll get googled.
This isn't good, in fact - it's very bad, for everyone, including yourself...
That implies everyone has loads of information about them online for all to see. If you google my name (and I imagine it's the same for most people) you'll get links to a few moderatly famous people with the same or similar names. The usual batch of profile sites with a few people with the same name none of which are actually me. I looked through the first few pages of images and I'm not there either.
Nanomachines, son. Every baby gets a dose and they supervise the internals, nip cancerous cells etc the moment they appear. The only thing is the nanomachines are self replicating so we could just end up replacing cancer with robo-cancer but then at least we might get cool glowy eyes and stuff out of it.
You'd think people would figure out not to attach everything to the internet. Why the card readers needed to be connected to anything but an internal network (with no internet connection to that) is a bad security model to begin with.
Will they ever learn?
Well then how do the credit cards verify that there's enough credit available and tell the bank or whatever to transfer the credit to the shop?
Slashdot Mirror
Is there anything more arbitrary than the line drawn between "human" and "animal"?
Not really, just the largest version of us and them.

Including Atheist fundamentalism, apparently...
What book would that be then?
About 5 euros. Ba dum tish.

You should have said "I always lie." I mean, why not make the mental competence assessment mutual?
One way to check if your interviewer is actually a robot of some kind.
He didn't shoot him for texting, he shot him after he turned out to be a complete asshole over it and started throwing popcorn.
Oh, that's much better then.....

What, that if we do something you don't like you'll shoot us? Well, what ever you do, don't feed the pigeons.

Remember, posting your password on the internet will show the password to you as as your password, but others will see it as stars.
See, look at my password ************
So now if I get amnesia all I have to do is come back and check my comment history and I'll find my password.
So your password is hunter2?
That expired, now it's hunter3

I was implying that no plane crashed into the pentagon. Most conspiracies are bullshit but that is one.

"Govt. Watchdog Group Finds Apple Misled Aussies On Consumer Rights"
Which Government? China? France? Kenya? Brazil? Rome? Would be more helpful with which country this involves in the title
I don't think Chinese, French, Brazillian etc govts care if apple lie to aussies. Without it mentioned you can assume its the Aussie govt.
Yeah I know all that, but how is "X-Bone" derogatory?
Because its easy to make from xbox one - xbone and sounds a little funny. People who hypenate it are twats.
