Hey it takes a few seconds to create an account. Look, if you're going to do something, *just do it*. Don't got inventing reasons for doing it, AFTER the fact. Just copy/paste the frigging article and don't say anything. We'll understand that you're a Karma Whore or that you do not care about copyright issues and wish you the best of luck and that will be it. It's not like you'll be the 1st or last one on Slashdot. *smile* However when you start opening your mouth about registration not being needed, you're simply insulting my intelligence ('ours' as some might think while reading this). Please be so kind as to not perceive this as an attack on your person, but more as an attack on your intelligence, or the way you treat fellow slashdotters.
Now look here, there's been many many many times when I was really happy that someone pasted an NYT articles because I either couldn't remember my ID and didn't have any. It's just that opening sentence of your comment which I found annoying. Take care.
Good day, Would it hurt the story submitters and/or the moderators to mention it when something is US specific ? Not that we have anything against it, but I'm tired on clicking on a link to only find out that whatever the link is pointing to is US-specific. I was excited by this search-by-location feature and then... saw that it was only for the US. Feel free to mod me down if you want, but Slashdot's readership is NOT 100% American. Get a clue.
Just like using multi-million dollars space computer software [that is spaced out on unit conversions] that's designed to go into space and do all kind of l33t space-related "mission-critical" & "high-precision" stuff that cannot go wrong etc, ad nauseum... ??
Ok I'll bite =) ANYTHING that you can do in Lisp/Ocaml (and other functional languages), you can do in Python. Go read a bit. Python does not force you into any style. You're free to use whatver you want.
Naaaaaaah... We ze French uuuuzze a device called 'ordinateur'. I've never heard of zat 'computer' thingie you seem to be referring to. Could it be related to zat thing the rest of the world weirdly calls 'e-mail' ??
But you have to understand, people like these aren't idiots. They have only heard the sound bites just like the vast majority of corporate world that isn't in IS/IT. They lack the background knowledge of the issue as well as the technical knowledge to be able to make an informed judgment.
So they lack the tech know-how, they're clueless about it, yet they 'think' it's stolen/illegal ? They're are idiots. Anyone who just hears something and repeats it is an IDIOT. Just because it happens to be in IT does not LESS of an IDIOT make you.
Yeah, my favorite ones with Spike is when he's bitching about how he used to be bad ass and all... I just roll on the floor. The time Buffy & Spike wake up in each other's arms, bruised, bleeding, after having FUKCED all night, the look in their eyes is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too funny. I could just die.
Could that be because OSS *works* ? Good for war, but bad for a voting sytem. Imagine a voting system that actually works !!! Oh, the horror... You honestly didn't believe that *they wanted a voting system that worked* did you ? Oh my... =)
I could not agree more. By accepting people as they are, we're somehow allowed to get a glimpse of 'their' world. That is priceless. No matter how intelligent one is, no matter how kind one is, no matter how wise one is, one is just ONE person. That's right, just one person. There will always be someone smarter, kinder or wiser. People that reject science OR religions, are just idiots. Not one view is The Right One. They all model the same reality in different ways. Some people here need to travel and get to see some of the weird shit that Faith does all over the world. That would open them up a little bit more to this beautiful world, that everyone sees in a 'different' way. Travel a bit, and I don't mean touristic stuff, I mean actually bonding and developing relationships with locals. I don't particularly believe in God as the Almighty, all powerful, omniscient and so on. I believe in life and I am open to everything. You all take care.
.... pretty much ring the bell or doom for Palm and friend....
What makes you believe that ? I've been coding Palm OS software for 2 years, I worked at Palm for 3 years before that. Let me tell you: new pdas just mean that: new pdas. The more, the better. There are 200000 Palm OS developers, some of them code for 5-10 other pdas/smartphones etc...
Osama Bin Laden has already won. He could even be dead by now, it would not change anything. The USA are SCARED. The US gov. is hurting the USA more than Bin Laden could ever dream of. All those laws, restrictions etc... will fuck the USA up. The USA are going down the drain. 1984 is not that far anymore. If Bin Laden is still alive, he's laughing his ass off. Just keep on passing more laws, tag your citizens like cattle while you are at it. Those that can, will fuck off to more peaceful places. America used to be great. Now it's just a dream fading off....
PS: ya can all flame away... PS2: I love the US but lately, it's not even the US anymore, it's become something else entirely ====(((
Oh yes, Emacs is the tool of the devil. But you know what ? The devil himself is kinda cool once you get used to him. By then, you're flying in Emacs (Xemacs for me, same thing) and doing stuff no other editor does... It's not an editor anymore... Nirvana is not far...I'm waiting for (X)emacsOS... *falls on his knees, praying...*
You have no idea what you are talking about. Which is probably why you posted as AC =) I ignore in which field you work, but you do not understand evolution baby.
The reason why movies like that are made in the first place is to alert people of potential dangers. It's not to say: "STOP, this is dangerous". It's to say: "The benefits of this technology should not overshadow its dangers". There is a difference between creating awareness and panicking. You, unfortunately are of the second kind. I've lived in a country where the TseTse fly kills. Trust me, people ARE interested in ANY help. I agree that we should be careful but being careful means:
** either working in that field. ** inventing new methods, trying to make them safer.
It does not mean sticking your head in the sand, repeating : "Don't say I did not warn you...".
What the fukk should we do, let people die ? No, our destiny is one of continuous advancement..until the singularity.
Exactly... *pauses to laugh*
Finding a high compression ratio for "certain bits" is a piece of cake. Any developer knows that if the format of the data being compressed is well understood (and not likely to change), some custom compression (that's been especially created for it) will give you the best results. Just claiming that a new technique's been developed with a 100:1 ratio BUT then 'gently' adding that it only works on 'certain bits' is a JOKE.
He DID NOT say that EVERYONE should have no qualms about requiring color vision for programmers !!!! He ONLY said that HE HAD NONE. Do you code in Forth ?? If yes, you do not need COLOR to code in Forth. Apart from ColorForth, most Forthes do not use color ( you do not need a color monitor to code with those Forthes ) So chill your horses cowboy... *smile*

"IANA's Condemnation and Concerns
Posted by IslamWay.com on Tuesday, September 11 @ 23:54:07 EDT (158 reads)
The United States witnessed today many terrorist attacks aimed at vital sites, some of which targeted the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
We, the Islamic Assembly of North America, condemn the killing of innocent people as much as we condemn the false accusation of other innocent people. Therefore, we call on all officials and media workers to protect people's human rights of safety and justice.
It is important to state that another form of terrorism has previously mobilized a lot of people against Muslims and Arabs where they have become an immediate suspect of such actions. Muslims and Arabs were previously the first to be blamed. Nothing justifies accusing over 1.3 billion individuals (the Muslim World population) with terrorism or subjecting an estimated 8 million American Muslims to fear of retaliation due to unjustified stereotyping and accusations. It happened before during the Oklahoma tragedy that some rushed to accuse Muslims; as a result, Muslims were subjected to fear in their own homes and Mosques. They were actually terrorized in the streets where many incidents of harassment took place.
Now, we fear that our Muslim communities in the U.S. might experience harassment that could exceed what happened during the Oklahoma incident.
May Allah guide and help us all.

As far as I am concerned, this says it all. Terrorists have mastered the art of hiding their f*****up-ness behind a given cause. Islam forbids killing unless it is in self-defense. Those crazy mofos out there who bomb places in the name of Islam are not muslims, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. Therefore each and everyone should think twice before accusing arabs or muslim people.
P.S. I am neither muslim ( I do not practice the cult ) nor am I affiliated to IslamWay.
