If I had gotten a job at google, I would have been a lot more careful.
This guy first ditches microsoft, because they don't want to code with extreme programming methods (laughs), and then gets himself fired from Google. I'm sorry, but what a dumbass. He doesn't know how lucky he is..
This demo is about as brilliant as the jump-to-conclusions mat..
Sorry, but what a horrible, absolutely horrible interface. Users would get so sick of zooming in and out they would rise up and kill their bosses.
If it had been a dynamically lit 3D forest landscape at nighttime, with mp3 files flying around in the shape of dinosaurs, then maybe it would have grabbed my interest..
The present: european academic finds solution to very hard problem.
2 years later: a) americans find way of turning said solution into entertainment technology and make billions of dollars.b) European academic still unemployed and eating pasta all week.
When they put these robot insects out on a lake to monitor shit, they will not be killed by other insects.
You know why?
BECAUSE ROBOTS DON'T TASTE VERY GOOD.
So robots are superior than biological creatures, and they will take over the earth and suck our brains dry (because humans are still yummy).
And if that wasn't bad enough, we will all later wake up in a dystopian future and be forced to hang out with keanu reeves for the rest of our lives.:(
If someone would construct a laser signal that outshines the sun by x10,000, it probably must be to send a very intentional message. I don't really see any other benefits of such a huge communicational device.
If the message is intentional, why couldn't they just use the more primitive and much cheaper radio?
According to Drake, radio would be unfashionable in alien land, because their TV's no longer use it.
Well, I suggest they could still use radio when they wanted to communicate <i>intentional</i> messages across outer space.
75% of spam is american. American lowlifes selling american products..
At least according to my own experience, and according to research conducted outside of america..
I don't believe for a minute that the spammers are actually chinese.. You can recognize the writing of a typical american "internet entrepeneur" in most spam mail..
And the servers? Sure, but most spam servers are innocent infected computers anyway...and if you look at the number of american computers in the world compared to the number of asian numbers..it would surprize me if the majority of servers aren't american..
I have never seen a single spam email with chinese letters..why?
Video game RPGs need to be *less* standardized if you ask me.
The rules aren't really that important in a video game, as opposed to a pen and paper RPG. It's mostly done behind the scenes.
What we need is games with more imagination than "kill rat 500 times, then kill spider 1000 times".
Because you know these rpg developers are too focused on "standards". How about a mafia rpg where you start with collecting money for loan sharks, then move up the ladder? Yeah, you never thought about that, assholes. Thanks for all the spiders and small poisoned rats. I want to kill you by drilling a hole in your eye.
Slashdot Mirror
Can we please stop having news about blogs. There is nothing interesting about blogs. More robots and dark energy please.
Name the number one reason why you think Linux will never dethrone microsoft?

Why is EU paying india to do it when they could use the Arianne rockets in france and keep the money at home..
Wow, none of you smartypants slashdotters know how to read roman numerals.

To make Yoda joke first, I wanted to be. Very sad I was, on finding these posts.
What religious freaks seem to misunderstand is that EVERYTHING in science is a theory.
always. There is nothing else.
So saying "it's only a theory" does not make much sense.
There is however plenty of proof for evolution, just as there is plenty of proof for the earth being round.
I'm sorry that's only 2 Funny
I for one, welcome our new sugar-based lifeform overlords.
I'd like to remind them that as a trusted slahsdot personality I could be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground ant caves.
Hahahahaha...videos on slashdot *snort* ...hahaha
IANAP (I am not a pencil), but could anyone tell me what practical implications this could have?
The present:

We need more GREED in europe..

They probably get paid to advertise for friends and Ikea. Fuckers.
Year 2052:
Linux Fork #97533 becomes self-aware.
Year 2152:
Linux Fork #339268 runs for president of the U.S.A "I have a solution to any problem".
I saw a documentary a few years ago where geologists where saying the next big Ice Age was supposed to happen now.
15000 years ago 1 km of ice covered Scandinavia and half of Germany..I dunno about the U.S., but it isn't cool.
P.S. I live in Sweden and "now" means "within 500 years".

Holy shit. My porn site broke japanese law. No fuzzy fuzzy on the pussy!
Ninjas are entering the building. Oh Shi.
Lund University http://www.lu.se in Sweden had or has a course in Klingon..
I have a friend who attended and it sounded like a lot of fun, especially If you are already studying languages..
Elvish might not be as much fun but it is probably even cooler..
Does the water come when mice are thinking they want water...OR
have they learned that every time they think about death/sex/food the water comes?
So you don't believe in evolution but are afraid of backwards evolution?
Let me guess...you like the bible because it's the baddest weapon on the planet?
I, for one, welcome the overlords.
HAHAHAHHAHAHA - GET IT? GET IT?
Fresh and in your face, buddy!!!
