  1. Re:Sagan Nailed it on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 5, Funny

    1 In the beginning God created the turkey and the cavity.

    2 And the cavity was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

    3 And God said, Let there be the oven on: and there was the oven on.

    4 And God saw the oven on, that it was good: and God divided the oven from the kitchen.

    5 And God called the oven Day, and the kitchen he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

    6 And God said, Let there be a stuffing in the midst of the breadcrumbs, and let it divide the breadcrumbs from the breadcrumbs.

    7 And God made the stuffing, and divided the breadcrumbs which were under the stuffing from the breadcrumbs which were above the stuffing: and it was so.

    8 And God called the stuffing Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

    9 And God said, Let the breadcrumbs under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the cranberries appear: and it was so.

    10 And God called the cranberries Earth; and the gathering together of the breadcrumbs called he Side dishes: and God saw that it was good.

    11 And God said, Let the cranberries bring forth relish, the herb yielding asparagus, and the fruit tree yielding pie after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

    12 And the stuffing brought forth relish, and herb yielding asparagus after his kind, and the tree yielding pie, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

    13 And the evening and the morning were the leftovers.

  2. Re:Componentry? on Supercomputers' Growing Resilience Problems · · Score: 2

    No.
    an increasing amount of componentry has increased componentry with respect to an increasing number of components.

    In other words,

    componentry > components
    increasing amount > increasing number.

    Therefore

    componenty + increasing amount >> components + increasing number
    however
    componentry + increasing number =? increasing amount + components

    unfortunately, to precisely determine the complexity of the componentry,
    more components (or an increasing number of componentry) with resepct to the original summary, are required.

    Maybe that's the plan. He is a media entrepreneur...

    1) Whine about facebook and threaten to move to MySpace
    2) Get a decent portion on NBA/MLB/NFL/Whatever team owners and other random media crap on board
    3) Move teams, other crap over to new 'social network'
    4) Float loan for purchase of new network against other random medai assets
    5) Buy new 'social network'
    6) Sell new social network when it peaks and before cycle repeats
    7) Profit!!!

  7. Re:That is cheap on Mark Cuban: Facebook Is Driving Away Brands — Starting With Mine · · Score: 1

    Right - because Mavericks fans wouldn't sign up to any stupid website you tell them to to get exclusive news, prizes, etc.

    Thats the whole point - he's saying his 'brand' doesn't need their 'brand', and so why bother paying them when they can
    get a better deal helping some other less known 'social' brand become more popular, and still get all of those fun demographics and social-graph computing spy-like analytics of his fans interests, etc, which is the only reason he probably moved to facebook from whatever other (more privacy respecting) predecessor was there to start with.

    No really - creators and operators of medium-scale criminal production facilities are usually shut down wherever they exist, at least until such point that legal system corruption prevents that from happening.

    ok - so lets double it, since thats still within margins.

    So - someone owning and operating a quarter mil/year, multi tier, criminal organization that likely 'employs' (and encourages criminality) among probably 20-50 'employees' who is also a repeat offender with violent tendencies and is secondarily violating their existing parole in other categories such as firearm posession, etc, shouldn't be given the max?

    Lets substitute the same dollar figure and number of employees for heroin, or gamboling, or prostitution, or even microbrewing beer illegally if those examples are too controversial for you.. and would you still say 15 is too much then? One year for running a small gang of 'insert X here' with multiple priors? you're nuts.
