  1. Re:Physics != Science! on Is Poor Numeracy Ruining Lives? · · Score: 0

    "Math skills" are problem solving skills, not arithmetic skills. Mathematicians seek out patterns and prove conjectures. The reason nobody understands math is because all of you idiots reduce it to arithmetic.

  2. Re:Site is down right now. on Filesharing Now an Official Religion In Sweden · · Score: 0

    Since their webpage is slashdotted, here is the official press release from the Church of Kopimism: The Church of Kopimism is recognized by the state of Sweden Just before Christmas, the Swedish governmental agency Kammarkollegiet registered the Church of Kopimism as a religious organisation. This means that Sweden is the first country to recognize kopimism as a religion. The Church of Kopimism have tried to become registered as a religious organisation by Kammarkollegiet for more than a year. - Since Kammarkollegiet has been strict with formalities, we had to apply three times, a happy Gustav Nipe - board chairman for the organisation - says. He continues, I think it might have something to do with the governmental organisations abiding by a very copyright friendly attitude, with a twisted view on copying. For the Church of Kopimism, information is holy and copying is a sacrament. Information holds a value, in itself and in what it contains, and the value multiplies through copying. Therefore, copying is central for the organisation and its members. Being recognized by the state of Sweden is a large step for all of kopimi. Hopefully, this is one step towards the day when we can live out our faith without fear of persecution, says Isak Gerson, spiritual leader of the Church of Kopimism. The Church of Kopimism is a religious organisation with roots from 2010. The organisation formalizes a community that's been well spread for a long time already. The community of kopimi requires no formal membership. You just have to feel a calling to worship what is the holiest of the holiest, information and copy. To do this, we organize kopyactings - religious services - where the kopimists share information with eachother through copying and remix. Copy and seed.

    The question is stopping censorship and regulation. An inalienable right is just a misguided way of saying that.

  5. Why is everyone forgetting... on Ask Slashdot: Successful Software From Academia? · · Score: 1

    PageRank! Google was just one big master's thesis. And quite academic, if you're a stranger to linear algebra.

  7. Re:Huh on CmdrTaco at Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 0

    It could be Barack Obama posting a link to his Twitter, it still doesn't feel like the sort of objective news "story" that we expect on slashdot. Maybe we need a tag called "adventures of slashdot admins." At least then I could filter it out easily.
