  1. Re:Tough call... on UK Hackers Face Antisocial Behaviour Orders · · Score: 1

    It's more like telling him he can't take an Advil when he has a headache because he committed malpractice.

  2. Re:It's all a conjecture on Chinese Mathematicians Prove Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 1

    There isn't anything special about subset sum. It doesn't matter how p varies as a function of the problem, because it's always the same problem. p is just a constant. The Turing machine needed is always exactly the same one regardless of the input size.

  3. Re:It's all a conjecture on Chinese Mathematicians Prove Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 1

    It only has to be polynomial time asymptotically, for sufficiently large N, so for sufficiently large N, N will be greater than the appropriate P, and the running time will be dominated by the time to run that particular program rather than the time to find it.

    You know, you're allowed to swear on the internet no. Didn't you get the memo?

  5. Re:People in movie theaters... on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    Movie theaters should have phased arrays of microphones hooked up to machine gun turrets to automatically shoot anyone who talks during the movie.

  6. Re:Long overdue mod down coming... on Search Engines Breed Worthless 'Original Content'? · · Score: 1

    Please fuck off and die painfully, ignorant lackwit. People like you are destroying the utility of the English language.

    But what if I've put off working with Javascript because of the suckage issue?

  13. Re:DIY on CableCARD In-Depth · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking of buying an HDCP decoder so I can build my own DVR using the cable box anyway. But those decoders are still about 400 euros.

    Got a link? I haven't been able to find such a thing at any price.

  14. Re:Toilet humor on The Type-A, High-Tech Bathroom · · Score: 1

    Damn right. You can also prove that, as long as you regard the order of bathroom uses as fixed, this policy minimizes the total number of times the seat changes position.

    Who the fuck is 'we', asshole? I suppose you also believe that slavery was just fine right up until the 13th amendment was ratified. Here's a free clue: laws have abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with ethics. God, statists are fucking stupid.

    So what your saying is that I need to try loading Microsoft crapware in my brain to deal with Slashdot posters who aren't literacy-oriented?

    I have a home T1 here in Seattle. No business license or anything like that. My ISP is Speakeasy, the physical line was installed by Covad. It costs about $500 a month including taxes.

  24. Re:Uh, that was the WHOLE POINT on Democrats Defeat Online FOS Act · · Score: 1

    So, you're pretty much saying that it's only okay for people to have free speech as long as they can't really say anything that matters. What does it matter whether a blogger might be being paid?? What he says should stand or fall on its own merit, not on who he is or might be.
