  1. If I even *try* to vote Tromp, I bet they'll arrest me.

    Oh, that's right, I forgot that convicted felons aren't allowed to vote. Never mind.

  2. How sure precisely are you that I'm going to vote for him on the 28th?

    It's okay, you don't have to deny it; it's your right to vote for him if you want to.

  3. Anyway, where's your strange Trump related stuff gone?

    You outed yourself as a Trump supporter, so there's no need to beat a dead horse (like your candidate).

    Well then I say, fuck crushable runways. We could have had some awesome last-minute election drama, but nooooooooooo, some goddamn crushable runway saves the day.

    Thanks a lot, crushable runways, whatever the fuck you are.

  7. Re:Will it have memory leaks? on Mozilla Announces Quantum, a New Browser Engine For Firefox (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It will have memory leaks, but if you measure how fast memory leaks you won't be able to tell where the leak is.

    I think that's the engine written in that new language called "Heisenberg". Actually, I'm not sure if it's been written yet or not- it compiles but every time I go to look for the executable it's not there.

    Servo is written in Rust so, it will have no memory leaks, no security problems and is so fast that even bubble sort can be implemented in O(N).

    Will there at least be an add-on that will simulate memory leaks?

  9. To you? You actually think that's worth it?

    Lol, you must, since you can't help but reply to me again and again and again...

  10. Will it have memory leaks? on Mozilla Announces Quantum, a New Browser Engine For Firefox (softpedia.com) · · Score: 0

    Will it have memory leaks? Because I've grown accustomed to memory leaks in Firefox and I'd probably miss them if this new-fangled engine doesn't have them.

    How do we really know that they're decrypting the message? Maybe they're well beyond that and now they're just trolling the researchers while they secretly communicate behind their backs using a modulated n-bit array funneled through a 17-dimensional hyper-spatial network.

  12. I'm still trying to work out though if you're attempting a really inept insult or joke or are inept at reading people.

    Maybe you should pay closer attention. Perhaps it's you who are inept at reading people.

    I used to toy with these idiots and waste massive amounts of their time. They'd get so upset that they'd be screaming at me before they hung up (I counted that as a "win" for me).

    There's no letdown like thinking you got a live one on the line, wasting 30 minutes reeling him in, only to have him start asking "What does it feel like to bang a goat?" or "Have I wasted enough of your time or should we keep going?"

    I loved asking them if they had "updog", and when they'd ask "What is updog?" I'd yell "NOT MUCH MOTHERFUCKER!!"

  16. Huh. I guess you don't even know what "duh" means. Try searching the web. I hear AltaVista is quite good.

    How do I do that? Can you send me a LMGTFY link??

    Were you one of the violent ones at the Trump rallies, or did you just scream at the black people and protestors? Are you going to throw away your MAGA hat after he loses in November or will you cherish it forever and ever?

    So in other words, Skype. Or WeChat. Or any of a dozen other near-identical video chat programs.

    I feel dizzy from so much innovation.

    They used to say that every program expanded and added features until it could send email, now it looks like "video chat" is the new benchmark. How long will it be before the "FlashLight Extreme" app on my phone can initiate video calls?

    Human intelligence is also "fancy pattern-matching".

    No it isn't. AI nutters.

    ShanghaiBill is right. As humans we're not much more than pattern-matching algorithms with a sensory and mobility package. Most of what our brain does is screen out the deluge of sensory input we're bombarded with as it attempts to make some sense of it.

    Visual, auditory, tactile- pretty much the only way we make sense of the world around us is by pattern-matching in one form or another.
