    Well...? Why couldn't they...?

  2. Re:Far from harmless fun... but on Bitcoin Token Maker Suspends Operation After Hearing From Federal Gov't · · Score: 1

    A record is made in the public ledger, but you can't make any useful conclusions from it. You can launder paper money too... I can give a friend government fiat in exchange for a bag of BC without being required by law to keep records... Why can't this nice young man give me a god darn fancy coin with a B on it?

    Everyone loves a good pedagogue. What better way to give children hope for the future than to reassure them that they'll never have to think all that much?

  8. [citation needed] on Tech Companies Set To Appeal 2012 Oracle Vs. Google Ruling · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At trial, documents came out showing that Oracle thought about making a "Java phone" but never did. Controlled chuckles echoed through the courtroom, at which time the judge ordered the last few seconds to be stricken from the record.

  11. Human HR Resources on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Tech Job Requirements So Specific? · · Score: 1

    HR departments would rather keep positions vacant for long periods of time than to settle for young whippersnappers who think they can learn anything in a week just because they know a bunch of other riff-raff they've never heard of. If they were more efficient, they might be out of a job.

    I'll trade you two of my latest dumps.

  20. Re:Meh... on Stephen Wolfram Developing New Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Don't be like me, kid. It's hard living in real-time. I grew up believing I could never accomplish anything because someone else will do it first and own the patent. And yet here I am, 15 years later... My best friend is a still that same damn penguin...

  21. Re:Meh... on Stephen Wolfram Developing New Programming Language · · Score: 1

    I've made two for my own purposes, but I'm not entirely sure where the boundary between markup and language is... Has anyone created a famous real-time language yet? Or is that still a pipe dream?
