You think the Earth-Sun year is some kind of galactic standard? Hell, there are nine major years, and a buttload of minor ones, right here in this solar system.
I'm taking a course at Northern Arizona University, which focuses on team design and implementation skills. For evaluation, we use peer reviews. Team members contribute to an average factor which is multiplied by the team grade. The faculty member supervising that team gets an offset he can add (or subtract) from the raw score. Seems to work, assuming you don't piss off your team or teacher (which seems pretty much like RL).
Just accept this: he's gratuitously adding the requirement for color vision to programming. Would you be so accepting if someone added an unnecessary and mostly worthless requirement to your job description, one you physically can't acquire, and then said, "Oh well, not everyone needs to be able to do that job, anyway."?
No, the inability to use colorforth is not a big deal. In fact, given the total irrelevance of any Forth to the world, it's no deal at all. My objection is not to colorforth, but to you and Chuck's "Fuck'em" attitude. That's far more offensive than an unused, needlessly colorized computer language. But, I'll take your advice and just accept it.

That's the truth. I know every time I have to show someone my working code, I have to do a parental-visit-strength clean-up before letting them see anything. Of course, we should keep it clean as we go....
I don't think the human race has proven to be capable of coping with all aspects of the philosophy and mindset around, say, agriculture. Or living around other people. Or any number of things we've had around for our whole history as a species.
You think we're going to do a full ethical analysis on *cloning* before getting into it? It is to laugh!
I'm serious. If you find one that's really better, let us all know. From my researches, the Scandinavian countries look best from an all-around perspective, but they're not exactly encouraging immigration. Plus, they've been known to knuckle under to corporatism/imperialism. (I'm not knocking them for that, it's realpolitik.)
You're gaining an insignificant amount of security, at the cost of a immense amount of bad will on the part of people who can really hurt you. Your duty to your shareholders should compel you to drop this matter ASAFP. Develop better security, and thank the people who find the problems; better them than your competitors.
I promise to start worrying about gray goo just as soon as I see a self-replicating machine of any size.
Do people think its going to be easier to make self-replicating machines that are tiny? "Well, they're about the same size as cells, I guess they could reproduce like cells!" Whatever.
This to me shows the overwhelming hypocricy of the liberal movement. I have no doubt that those
attacking this site were liberals, doubtless believing themselves to be on some righteous crusade.
You have no doubt? Well, then, that settles it, right?
Typically, however, the liberals show themselves to favor censorship when it suits them, - that is to censor opposing views.
Ah, I guess I missed the part where conservatives encouraged opposing views. Well, if you're right about liberals, at worst, they're no worse than you.
It appears clear that these liberals will stop at nothing in the pursuit of their own agenda - posting obscene messages, and so on, and even "targeting Free Republic's founder, Jim Robinson" in pursuance of "his stated goal of chasing Free Republic off the Internet". I have seen enough. I have tolerated their supposedly well-meaning activities, but I will not accept these kind of attacks.
Stop by a liberal website sometime; you'll see plenty of obscenity and general hate mail sent in by freedom-loving, tolerant conservatives.
As for accepting these kind of attacks, who the hell asked you to? You almost sound like you want to censor an opposing view!
I'm just embarrassed that this idiot stooped to freeper tactics to attack them; I'm glad they shut him down. Let him start his own website.
On a lighter note, does anyone out there work in a "war room" type enviornment? It sounds like
somewhere I'd like to work, but only if the chairs were leather and really comfortable;)
I do, and it works. It really makes up for lack of communication, makes consultation easy, promotes a general group-organism kind of thing. Pretty cool, really.

May I point out that if medical science gets much better, we're going to need space research even more than we do now?
My geek 'nards just expanded 20%, and my 92+ is already starting to look like something an Amish farmer would be permitted to own.
Damn them, DAMN them for pre-announcing this!
Kind of like if you tried to do an OS survey on slashdot. Linux would have a much higher rating, would it not?
Yes, but the CowboyNeal rating would be *off the charts*!
The person who submitted the story has worse spelling and grammar skills than CmdrTaco. That's *always* newsworthy.

Wasn't that supposed to be "Akbar and Jeff: People Hut"?

Does anyone else find the phrase "current next-generation standard" strange? My parser's still balking at it.

Good luck, and report back.
If it weren't for Linux, you'd have to buy a copy of a proprietary OS to run the heavenly suite of GNU tools. Your nose would remain unthumbed.

I think the *goo meme was started with Dr. Seuss in mind: "If you, sir, choose to chew blue goo, sir, then do, sir!"

How complex do things have to get before "God did it" becomes the best explanation?
Infinitely complex, for no explanation to be the best explanation.
Only if we can make them emit biometric voter ID data via XML. GPL'd, of course.
IT makes The STUFF!!!
Does MIT have a Corporate Fluff program now?
This sounds more like a job for fuckedcompany.com.
