Wow. Congrats on the successful troll. Let's see if I can come up with a math question to pose to a bunch of insecure geeks with an eighth grade education and a chip on their shoulder....
I'm having trouble factoring integers. Can someone with an 8th grade education in math explain the Chinese Remainder Theorem please? If not, then please just a list of the first 99,999 prime numbers....
I don't know about anyone else, but these two unsubstantiated anecdotes have convinced me that Hondas are poorly engineered and unreliable. Thank you for the great service you have rendered, Andy Dodd!
it's much cheaper and safer to have large telescopes down here,
Typical, typical, typical. A Slashdot post making an absolute statement of fact about the economic feasibility of something with no references or data? Slashbots, quick! Incorporate that into your memepool!
Oh, and by the way: the higher profile an object is on the surface of the Earth, the more likely it is to be damaged by vandalism and subject to liability suits. We really need to clean up society before we start putting more stuff down here.
Should we have more land-based telescopes? Absolutely. But for now, it's much cheaper and safer to have telescopes up there, even if they do have to account for launch costs and orbital debris.
...and teaches you to lose patience with real people and real problems, making you chronically and pathetically unfit for social interaction. There's a reason for the stereotypes, you know.
Or you can just go nuts and shoot 'em both in the head before they get a shot off.;) You know who doesn't think during action games? The people with 5/73 next to their names.;)
They are more efficient for not being creative. Creativity and emotion are superfluous brain activites anyway. We'd all be more efficient without them.
As technology becomes more I/O-based, this will inevitably alienate people with I/O limitations. Thankfully, those with mere mental impairments will be more and more in the mainstream.
I'm using my troll account today, so I've got no chance of mod points. Anyway, Parent post deserves AT LEAST (Score: +3, Put Him In His Place), or (Score: +4, Spot Fucking On).
W.r.t. the stages of classical education:
Grammar
Dialectic
Rhetoric
Most programmers are stuck somewhere in between the "D" and the "i" in stage 2.
I came across this in a vaction cabin in Yosemite, when I was about twelve, and on vacation with my family. Big bookshelf in the living room with sign: "Take a book, leave a book."
That's how I got into Asimov's Foundation, and got interested in some other stuff just by remembering the titles when I got home after vacation. I didn't actually take a book with me, but I liked the idea and probably would have if I had brought a book with me to trade in the first place.
This is the exact comment I was going to post, but I did a text search on this page for "$20 billion" first, since I figgered somebody else would think of it. Mod me redundant; I don't care. Parent post deserves (+5, Funny; +5, Insightful). That's economics near equilibrium. Do you think the software industry would be that dumb, if it were actually $60 billion in real losses?
No, this can be attributed to someone asking a question about what results the world's easiest search engine would give for a specific query, instead of just performing the query themself.

Ever hear of Flirting with Nazism?
Take it easy on him. His first language is Klingon.
My sentiments exactly.
You seem to have accidentally inserted the word "branded."

Sorry, software is speech!

Yeah. Shoot 'em both in the head. 5/73. Ha ha.
You're really learning some mad thinking skills.

Then what's a Simputer gonna cost us in the States?
He obviously didn't read Slashdot, where Hitler is just another waypoint between here and some goatse link.
It will be very apropos from age 2 through 21.

Which, incidentally, is Shoeboy's password. I recommend that everyone hack him right now.

A /. story that expands an acronym? Fetch me my canned food and bottled water....

Dude, his name is Win-Developer. When's the last time Ballmer wrote a line of code?

You missed the pattern. Clearly it's 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,...
