Energy energy energy! Enough of this energy business! People talk about it like it's some real physical substance. Thinking only that way rots the brain! (Thinking only the other way also rots the brain. Thinking both ways is okay.)
Then claim about the rules, not the competitors. If major league baseball allowed aluminum bats, would you complain about the players who used them or the people who allowed them?
Oh, I'MMM so sorry that this isn't impressive. But let me tell you the whole story.
What actually happened was that in his childhood, DVD Jon built a complex delegatized neural net and spent years and years of his life in a special metaphortion of a monastary, training this neural net to intelligently download software, recognize unnecessary restrictions, and figure out how to remove them. This neural net had completed numerous feats, when one day, it found this Google product that had some arbitrary domain restriction. After billions and billions of possibly nondeterministic computations, this neural net commented out a little bit of source code.
Then this neural net posted on his blog about how he altered an open source product.
I will, however, claim that he didn't "automate" jack shit. He didn't have machines doing the work that people used to do, he simply arranged things so that one person did the same thing over and over, all day long.
But that's what automation is. Each person was an unthinking cog in a machine that uses humans as parts. If it wasn't automation, then the assembly line workers could not have been replaced by robots.
So the rich people who die slowly get the chance to give their money to their children before death, while those who die in unexpected accidents get their money taken from the government?
People romanticize the "Browser Wars", but it's really a big battle over nothing -- a bunch of almost zero-revenue eyeballs using a free product. The strategic value is what people build on top of the browser technologies.
Exactly! Which why we must fight against the Mozilla organization, for it distributes a "gateway OSS", which leads users down the path towards more powerful OSS, such as perl and emacs, which can be downright dangerous, leading to all sorts of permanent afflictions such as repetitive stress syndrome (featured in the well-known film, "Ctrlfinger"), as well as a gluttonous addiction to loosely typed programming languages. Over time, they tend to turn into "hackers," exploiting and even distributing OSS from their basements. This is just the first stage.
In Stage II, they join nefarious communities, with alien names such as "comp.theory," even wasting weeks and weeks to learn foreign languages just to communicate in locations such as "ruby-dev". They also begin typing in tongues. Just the other day, at our clinic, I walked across one addict with a window open, or I think it was a window -- the screen was all weird with footprints and insignia all over it, and in it he was writing material which looked like text yet did not read like text. It looked like he was trying to express something with a violent combination of chomps and chops and splices!
At Stage III, they begin idol-worship -- of demons and penguins, displaying their idols in public with stickers on their laptops. They begin to find pleasure in strange, alien activities, like changing their keyboard layouts around so that nobody else can use them, and buying calculators that read in input in some backwards order, with no equals key, and then they become fanatics who insist that everybody should learn this backwards method! If you ever see somebody lend out a calculator and then smirk when a borrower innocently walks away, you know they have reached Stage III.
At Stage IV, they wonder how to emulate their freshly bought calculator on their computer, in one of the tongues that they have learned. Those who have spent weeks of using the powerful and addictive OSS called perl begin to write "rpn.pl" in progressively smaller scripts, using that violent abortion of chops and slices. First, they make one that works in twelve lines, which is unhealthily short already. Then they naturally levitate towards three lines, two lines, one and a half lines, exhibiting some obsession towards achieving their goal in less than 80 characters. Some succeed, but only after several nervous breakdowns and complete distachment from spouse and family. Some begin their ramblings with references to primates, as seen in one quotation I've seen,
If they succeed, this usually means that Stage V has been reached. It is believed that they begin to realize that they are seriously damaged, because they rather suddenly start mumbling about the "brainfuck" they're enduring. This realization dies away quickly, as they type out long meaningless random strings.
Occasionally, they manage to come out from their mental ruts, but only for short periods of time. These spells give our researchers a rare glimpse at what happens to their minds, as they make repeated references to things that don't exist, except perhaps in their hallucinations. They still have connections to their dreamworld. For example, I mentioned to one patient about how my niece got an A++ on a recent examination in school. And the patient replied, "She got a B? Well, better luck next time." He must have misheard, or so I thought, so I answered, "No, she got an A++," enunciating the A + + slowly. And the patient smiled knowingly, responding: "Exactly. I hope she gets an A next time." I gave up on that conversation.
There are further stages of this terrible affliction, but they would be too graphic to list here. My point is, this "Firefox" isn't just a harmless OSS that causes minor but and temporary impairment; it is the first step of a path towards destruction, and we must fight its spread with all our resources.
God gave us something which seperates us from all other things on earth.
A bad sense of spelling?
If all a computer can be is logic, I wonder if anyone has found a way to force a shutdown loop, to do something so illogical the computer can not continue.
Okay, you just don't know what you're talking about. The whole "unsolvalble geometric figure" thing doesn't exactly work, unless you've got a buggy program. Neither does solitaire. Giving a "sleep" command does seem to work for most computers, though, especially for Microsoft operating systems.
You moron. You can't make white's second move until black has made its first move! And if you look at the other reply ("1. - e5"), it looks like black already occupies that square.
Ah, but when sending hard drives in motion, you get the added plus of calculating measurements using Gb*m/s (these very special calculations make the latency tolerable:-)
This is why I prefer downloading from mirrors on the other side of the planet; I get to maximize the total amount of bitmeters, I mean, the total 'net' work.:-)
Not exactly. 1.6 petabits a day = 1.6 petabits per 86400 seconds = 1600000 gigabits per 86400 seconds = 18.518 Gb/s. (Assuming scaling by 1000, not 1024; we are dealing with hard drive space after all.)
I put my laptop with an 80GB hard drive onto my desk in a quarter second; does that mean I got 256 Gb/s?
Slashdot Mirror
This is why tabbed browsing is so popular. Duh.
Do you even read Slashdot? Ever? This is an absurdly recurring discussion.
It's like deja vu all over again all over again.

Or just download a source archive and a documentation archive from http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/download.html
Oh?
Use addition to swap 1e99 with 1e-99 then.
Then claim about the rules, not the competitors. If major league baseball allowed aluminum bats, would you complain about the players who used them or the people who allowed them?
But it *could* be something else, which is why they won't say for certain yet.
That's not a volcano. It's a space station!
Quite clearly if we invent something, there is one less thing to invent.
What do you get when you subtract one from infinity?
I see the attempted [quote][/quote] and think "Pah! We're getting infected by those noobs who grew up on PhpBB."
Then I see the poster's user id number.
Agh! My worldview!
Certainly not; it's pronounced housez. ;-)
No no, my point is that having a huge death tax only makes sense if the gift tax is just as large or larger.

Er, by the government, I mean.

The ration is a third type of ion, which has an attractive pull to small rodents and smelly politicians.
It is my belief that 90% or more of slashdot readers suffer from no physical disability whatsoever,
Really? How many wear glasses or contact lenses?

Can theorem proving be mathematically explained?
Yeah, it will. But will it happen because Go playing programs become smarter, or will it happen because computers become faster?
Computers can also multiply hundred-digit integers faster than humans.
I'd like to see a computer beat the best Go players. Or how about a computer that can beat the best human chess players at Fischerandom chess
