  1. We shall condemn Israel on Israeli Bill Would Allow Secret Blacklists For Websites · · Score: 0

    Israel has to be condemned for trying to pass the law outlawing freedoms. If the law will fail to pass, we shall condemn Israel for condoning the crimes that the bill targets. Israel, what would we do without it?!!

  2. Re:In other words... on Strong Climate Change Opinions Are Self-Reinforcing · · Score: 0

    Excuse my french, which reality are you hailing from? Because it sure as sh!t is not this one. In regards to progress I have to agree if by "progress" you mean "progressive paralysis".

  3. You are all wrong. Error handling is evil on The Scourge of Error Handling · · Score: 0

    Error handling built into the code is a fine way of creating thoroughly tested and fine tuned collection of spagettified bugs. Up to the final pre-delivery stages, the code should have no exception handling at all. This way, when sh!t happens, you don't have the luxury of deciding "this sh!t is unimportant, I will deal with it later". Since every bug blocks your progress, you have no choice but to find a root cause of every failure and fix it. Have somebody build a small circuit controlling a red beacon and a siren attached to the integration server and make it go off every time an automated unit test fails after a commit. Create an attitude where people are ashamed of setting off the integration failure alarm. That is the only way of getting somewhere close to a bug-free code that I know of.

  4. Re:Is this the thread on Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas · · Score: 0

    Sorry. You're not going to guilt us into compromising our principles.

    Let Hamas talk. Speech is a prerequisite for freedom. Supress it and they have a valid claim to being oppressed..

    I am Joseph Goebbels and I approve this message.

  5. LOL! When the other side makes the same argument, its all fine and dandy. Go drown yourself in the toilet, hypocrite!

  6. Re:Well duh on Kim Dotcom's Next Venture: Free Broadband To New Zealand · · Score: 0

    Wow! Tinfoil hat to the rescue! Dotcom is a criminal and while he can try to sue, the jury is not going to be impressed.

  7. I do not think it will fly on Kim Dotcom's Next Venture: Free Broadband To New Zealand · · Score: 0

    In New Zealand people recognize that a thug with good PR is still a thug. The argument that New Zealand needs more people like him to create workplaces is not universally popular either: if New Zealand was that desperate, there is a whole bunch of rich dudes in Central America who, if given residency, would gladly employ any number of prostitutes, enforcers, and drug mules.

  8. Re:October Surprise on China's Stealth Fighter Flight Test Successful · · Score: 1

    What has it got to do with alleged superiority of russian weapon-makers? Then again, considering that I would not trust western intelligence analysts with organizing a pissup in a brewery... you are right - they were caught with their pants down once again. I wonder if they ever have their pants up. For any person blessed with more than one brain cell it was obvious that an attempt to bring the errant colony back into the fold was just a question of time.

    I can agree with a single statement. US defence firms can do diddly squat with $1000 Russkies can do exactly as much with $1.

  10. I think I understand it quite well. I have a considerable personal experience with that particular cult - my parents were devout atheists.

  11. That was a valuable lesson on JPL Employee's Firing Wasn't Due To Intelligent Design Advocacy, Says Judge · · Score: 1

    The next time I hear one of my fellow employees mentioning Dawkins at work, I will submit a formal complaint, just to get the ball rolling.

  12. Agreed. Every religion is fine as long as it is not shoved down one's throat. Including atheism.

  13. Definitely: Bible To a lesser extent: The Art of Computer Programming by Knuth More Effective C++ by Meyer C++ Standard Library by Josuttis To even lesser extent but still significant: Ender series by Orson Scott Card
