Boxen isn't a god damned word, regardless of how many fucktards use it.
What else could possibly determine if something is a word other than the fact that people use it? Take your "Fucktards," for instance. While probably not generally considered a word today, it's certainly a lot closer than it was fifty years ago, when no one used it.
I personally have managed 4,500 per day for a period of about a week on occasion
Even if you worked 16 hour days with absolutely no down time (no eating, bathroom breaks, etc) that's almost five lines of code per minute. Every minute. Hour after hour.
I doubt anyone could even non-stop type that many compilable lines of code, even without them having to make sense or function within the context of a program.
J. Hutton Pulitzer's inventions and ideas were adopted by the American consumer at a rate that outpaced the combined first year growth of cell phones, pagers, personal computers, hand held computers and total Internet users in just the first 90 days of its heralded release.
I think less code is always better because there is less to read and "hold in your head".
When I read code I don't memorize it line by line, I remember the ideas behind it. The amount of code doesn't have much to do with it, for me at least.
I think the best thing the internet has done for comics is to allow some really great offbeat stuff (like Diesel Sweeties) to exist...The internet empowers me by allowing me...to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Diesel Sweeites? I think you're confused. The idea is to keep the wheat and throw away the chaff.

Gotta be a troll.
They had already given that up. For money. Now they have neither, but walking away from their work was their own choice.
Really? How's the job market for that field?
I agree completely! But what really burns me up is guys like you, who complain about those who complain about the complainers.
Have you tried one? If so, what do you think of it?

But then the reporter would have known. QED.
I'm not even sure what it means.
Yeah, well if it's a re-frigerator, where do you put stuff that's never been chilled?
It's still around, ya know.
Yeah, what the hell does Walter Bright know about writing C++ compilers, anyway?

So long that a good strategy for breaking it would be to wait for computers to get faster.
For every project that becomes a viable product there are dozens that do not pan out. Using your formula would bring R&D to its knees.
You'd think so, but one time I said that and my shoulder bothered me a bit.
If I could determine it I wouldn't be guessing, now would I?
Better than you, I'm guessing.
It is if you're the old man.
Something must have gone wrong with your post then, as Slashdot seems to have left out the humorous part.
Read the article again. You're so mixed up I'll bet you wipe your ass from the front.
In fairness, you're ignoring the first half of the sentence to which you're replying.
