"I see no reason that a child raised by a suitably programed robot could not be very well adjusted." Wow! That is insane. How did you even think of that?
Transparency Intl should repackage and sell the corruption index as a Price+Services catalogue for each country. Would save a lot of wasted time and effort....
Obligatory old joke: "What kind of a woman do you think I am?" "I thought we had established that, and were negotiating the price!"
I wonder if apple have an ad in the works where pc-guy, wearing blank-and-white stripes, is talking about windows as a condition of his incarceration....
It is more subtle than that. Slashdot is merely following its media masters of "sucking at the teat of press releases and shitting the result to the public", to paraphrase Kent Brockman. You can't blame sun-lacky for playing the game; you might blame slashdot for being played. Blogs are the new "Inflight"; instead of having to pay outrageous payola, you can do it for free. This is WebII.
Btw, properly it is "they are", or perhaps "the're", but never there.
Do 'gifted people' really need good schools? Shouldn't the time and attention be paid in proportion to the need?
Being 'gifted' enough to not have to bother reading the article, I'll venture that it is a typical tabloid trashing to help their readers feel sorry for themselves. Anybody been to a rainbow party recently?
I value sources of skepticism. Many information sources are little more than publishers and often shills for some other interest; the bad deliberately bullshit, the worst don't even do that. Fox vs CNN, for example.
The source in the fine parent has an obvious tilt against MicroSofts hot air factory. That it is obvious is a good thing, it saves us all time.
All things being equal, shouldn't there be 25 'anti-MicroSoft' articles for every 'anti-Apple'; or 100 for every 'anti-Sun'? MS applies the market share argument to justify wrecking peoples computers, why should they see any less of a factor in criticism?
'The new government of Canada', as they like to call themselves, is a branch office of the GOP that knows who it has to dance with. Every US desire, from abandoning international treaties and responsibilities to deterring cross border shopping has been dutifully provided for. There are certainly more to follow.
It is embarassing. We replaced one snake with a nest.
Slashdot Mirror
I get running on in conversation, but when you typed "I guess that's not really the point", did you consider cancelling the post? just curious...
and in a few days the president will say " , your doing one heck of a job", which seems to mean " you are even more of a fuck up than I am ".
"I see no reason that a child raised by a suitably programed robot could not be very well adjusted." Wow! That is insane. How did you even think of that?
In the same way that "blues is like rock", not better, not worse, but earlier....
Sun will contribute 35 managers...
Just doesn't sound as innocuous....
Yes; maybe we should call the institute " the government ", and set it up so that we can fire them periodically if they work against our interests....

somebody at your company hates you.

maybe we stretch it to 6 years indebture, and give them a cell phone and a laptop too....

Go on in the store. They are nice people. Don't resent them.
Go on, go in the store. They are nice people, and will be happy to play with you....

but I didn't read the article.
All the iMacs have video out, even the originals. You can sit it on your desk screen down :)
The security bit is just a cover story. This is about some perceived danger to the RIAA, MPIAA and similar cartels.
Maybe the one that uses an iPhone will win. I hear it is wonderful.
How does this relate to the iPhone? I think it will change the way people use libraries.
Maybe he means "out there", as in 'even more nuts than what I've already said'...
shhhh. Its better if they think it isn't feasable.
