  1. Punishment for Spammers on When Registrars Spam You, What Can You Do? · · Score: 1

    Make them read, write, and breathe Perl for a set period of time. However, if you wish to reform these individuals, you must carefully monitor their status, lest they become one of the poor souls of the sort that contribute to the Obfuscated Perl contest and code CGI apps all day.

    It is already the case that money will buy you the Presidency. All Microsoft is doing is bringing this into the digital age: Imagine an on-line store where one can place bids on various public offices. I can't wait for the DDoS's on that one.

    Microsoft is well known for producing top of the line quality software and is well respected around the industry as well as unanimously praised in all forums as being the saviours of mankind and the leaders of the free world.

    You better start believing it, boy... they run the elections.

    And if Slashdot ran the elections, who would win?
    The Karma whores, the first-posters, the hot-grits trolls, the beowulf clusterers, Natalie Portman, or CmdrTaco?

    Actually it makes me wonder: Instead of literate programming, are we getting programmable literature? I mean come on, why are these Markup Languages being used so damn widely in so many damn silly ways. They're for Text Formatting, not for making complex simulations! Next we'll be seeing editorial-based programming instead of functional or object-based. People!

    What kind of nonsense is this? Everyone knows that we will use the safe, reliable Microsoft standard GEML to encode our genes that safely and reliably allow us to live. We wouldn't have it any other way!

  10. Re:GEML? Bah! Quadrary Encoding! on A Genome Mark-up Language · · Score: 1

    I think we should encode HTML documents into the
    genes of living people so that they can go
    travelling and when they get to the destination
    they can be re-assembled with all the other
    people-fragments and viewed with some sort of
    CAT-scan-browser. HTTP-over-Humans.
    And if you want better bandwidth, you can sign up
    for Broad-band: Only Females will be used to
    transport the data.

    So long as my child doesn't turn into a Javascript popup window.

    And then there's the parallel between reproduction of the species and that damn close-browser-window-makes-more-windows-popup trick that some sites pull on you. And I don't mean the fact that its usually a porn site that does it.
