    I am a guy and I still avoid Unix conventions, besides who wants to
    date someone who is interested in the same things as you? I am going out
    with a musician, and if it wasn't for her refreshing outlook towards life
    and all the new and interesting things she gets me into, I would have
    gone insane a very long time ago.

    Well of course, DoHS' color coding system exists in nature and there is a direct
    provable relation between it and "terrorist in our world." and it is not a subjective
    matter under the whim of some entity or anything.

    Not so. I was surprised when I mirrored an slashdotted site. I set my
    apache to full logging and waited. After 1500 hits, I found that 68%
    where on Linux alone (Phoenix, Konqueror, Galeon, and standard moz.)

    FWIW, it was sunday and the story was on the "developers" section, so:
    1) This "work" excuse might actually have a merrit. 2) A developer's
    story might attract an slightly more sophisticated slashdoter than one
    who reads (say) games section or your usual YRO arm-chair activists.

    P.S. There were no other Unices, just Linux, and if you count OS X
    about 20 or so hits.

  15. Story. on Cable TV Ruins Bhutan · · Score: 1

    At my previous job, there was this strange lady who ALWAYS spoke
    about sex. Everything she said, was in one way or another related
    to sex. I was new there and was shocked at how nobody restrained
    her for her perversion at the work place. I told some coworkers
    about it, and they didn't seem to mind, but they weren't interested
    in joining/developing her conversations either.

    Later on, I became friends with her (not wanting to sex her, since she
    was not my type, and quite frankly I wasn't her type either.) I got to
    know her and found out that she is subscribed to 2 porn sattelite
    channels which she gets for cheap, and she spends most of her evenings
    in AOL channels exchanging video-chat-thinggie with others.

    This woman turned out to be NOT interested in any of her coworkers (us)
    and was able to shut down all the advances with her skilled rhetoric
    and not so subtle put-downs. She had NO reason at all to use sexual
    metaphors in such frequency. She didn't want to project a perverted
    image to a bunch of computer geeks (she knew better.) but the problem
    was that her private world rotated around her sex life, she had no
    friends, no hobbies, etc. only a well charged dildo and virtual reality.
    So her verbal skills and mental capabilities were reduced to that subset
    of english that never makes past my procmail filters.

    Sad, but true.

    You are right, we (I?) use lambdas to glue together code that is too simple or rarely used
    to become a named function, say as arguments to other functions (e.g. mapcar.) But no substantial
    body of code should remain un-named in a good program.

  21. Insight == Crap. on 239 MPG Car · · Score: 2

    A friend[1] of mine has been driving one for the past few months, and the thing
    is about to fall apart. First of all, the acceleration sucks, it is almost like a
    bicycle: I gave it a few rounds around town and the cars behind me constantly honked
    at me because the thing wouldn't speedup whenever the speed limit changes (but it sure
    can brake.)

    Also, the body totally sucks; the rubber alignment around the inside of the doors started
    to crack, but the their credit, Honda has an excellent customer service and most of the
    vehicle is warranted for quite some time.

    If you want a fuel efficient car, the Civic, which is the biggest bang for the buck out
    there, just keep it real and DON'T even try to make it look sporty.

    Someone was talking about "Sharpening the Parenthesis" at his past International Lisp
    Conference. If this isn't the same guy, I guess they beat him to it.

    of the gazillion scheme kernels (specially scheme48) into their web platforms and still
    have the same effect (plus the ability to work with a real language, specially in the case
