"This is just homophobia driven to the extreme..."
I'd have to suspect that the parent is a bit... in the closet... So possibly homophobic for that reason, but I suspect that the only reason he's even able to fathom anything sexual about a football game is some level of homosexuality.
A hetersexual male is absolutely incapable of seeing the sportsmanship involved in, say, mud wrestling, in the same but opposite way that we're incapapable of seeing anything sexual about male sports. We can't even joke about it, there just isn't anything interesting or funny about it!
You find the third dimension disturbing? I don't mean to be anal, butt with a crack like that, I have to wonder how you prefer your asses: phat or flat?
What if you jump into a universe that has already ended (gone out of scope) and is ready for GC action? Would it throw a object disposed exception? Who would catch the exception? Would you be terminated for causing the exception, or would your stack just be unrolled, putting you back into your original universe? Where would the exception be thrown TO? Is there a super universe containing our bag of infinite universes? If so, is it also in a bag of infinite super universes? How far up could the exception potentially get before being caught? How many universes could you destroy by your attempt to jump to a disposed one? Could you attempt to jump directly to your parent universe? Would there be a way to discover references to other universes, and then jump any number of universes up the chain? Would we appear microscopic in our parent universe? Would we be an undefined reference in out parent? Does our universe have child universes, and if so, can we jump to them? Would we destroy a child universe in the attempt, much like a tele-frag? Could our universe be destroyed in such a tele-frag at any time? Can we create new universes? If we create new universes which do something wrong, and we fail to properly catch the exception, does our universe get axed too? I ask a lot of questions, don't I?
If we all lived for(almost)ever, there would have to be almost no children.
Think about that for a minute.
No children, no youth, no one to teach... Life would get boring, for starters. The completely open mind of a child, and the nieve ambitions of our youth, drive us to improve and change and be better people. We learn to accept things as they are as we get older, and generally that's a good thing, but it also causes us to overlook new possibilities. For the most part, it's the young that counter that.
The article doesn't seem to specify... Maybe the robots are actually submerged in solution? If they are not submerged, not only would they run out of energy, they would dry out and die in, I would think, a few seconds or a very few minutes.
Is there something MORE important that humans? You need to step back a few light years and realize that NOTHING is important. Meanwhile, you sound like a raving loon. So, why haven't you committed suicide for the good of the world?

"Football is completely gay"
:-)
Now THAT I agree with
"This is just homophobia driven to the extreme..."

Only 18% can tell the difference between an ad and a non-ad???
They must have interviewed all the slashdot editors...
Yeah... And the way they laugh every day during the commute to the bank...
Fax it to a warmer universe!
Yes, and in related news (using the word loosely, as always, here on /.), you may even be able to fax it into an alternate universe.

Good point. This whole moving about between universes is riskier than I thought :-)
Do you ever wonder if maybe you're taking things just a tad too seriously?
Naked? I like this new universe already :-)

"Software Engineers should not have learned things by themselves."
I find that the sort of people who say this, just are not all that strong at self-learning, and so assume that no one else is either.
Oh my... I didn't know what source guardian is until just now...
OH MY! You HAVE been ripped off. I certainly hope you learn from this mistake. Clue (as others have said):
1) ALWAYS get the code. Always. If someone offers to deliver without source, laugh and hang up.
2) See rule #1.

Immortality = stagnation.
Better her than Geddy Lee...
I think perhaps you're being a bit anal about the whole thing :-)
"if they had asses"
Asses require bigger muscles and some fat. They're working on both. Tiny-Two-Legged-Microscopic-Robots version 2.0 should have (fat fine) asses.
The article doesn't seem to specify... Maybe the robots are actually submerged in solution? If they are not submerged, not only would they run out of energy, they would dry out and die in, I would think, a few seconds or a very few minutes.
I think that's rather insulting to the apes...
(or quote):
...But I think we just disagree.
Gizmodo:
Gates: No, I actually don't think we disagree.
HUH?
We disagree! Do not! Do so! Do not! Do so!
Santa is what? What are you talking aboot?

I think they saw where she was from and gave it a +5 funny. After that, it was an easy choice.
I believe that whoever discovered the wonderful combination of vodka and green olives should have one a Nobel prize. Vermouth? What's that?
Nothing unethical about it at all. The entire fork is based on code that you helped write in the first place!!!
I say the other guy needs to wash the sand out of his vananay and move on.
