    It's still bigotry.

    Plus, you can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't take the Texas out of the boy.

    The best way to avoid war is to disarm.

    Stop being such a bigot, or we'll take away John Carmack, and you'll never see another revolutionary FPS again, misspelling-boy.

    Reading your comment, I was thinking about how fifty years ago, someone would have substituted the word "Negroes" for "Texans". That's hilarious.

    Your post is so full of insider lingo I found it incomprehensible. Certainly not "Interesting" at all.

    That's what system administrators look like. You likely passed up some good people due to an idiot fascination with personal appearance. If they wore a suit for the interview, they'd be lying about themselves. I suppose that would make for a more comfortable hire.

    ecotopia book? Jeez, mental masturbation for eco-nuts? That is SO GAY. Get off it, the tech in the article is toys for big boys, it won't "help the environment" in any way, shape, or form. Besides, if sailing ships did make a comeback (YEAH, RIGHT) the eco-nuts would get up in arms about the ships disturbing the climate by slurping up wind meant for crops in Gambia, etc. Just look at the opposition to wind power.

    Last I checked, parties were about interesting people.

    All the millionaires I know are fabulously boring, petty, grabby individuals whose only topics of conversation while boating are the price of real estate and the cost of legal services.

  16. Re:A novel goal. on Danish Goal: 50% of Electricity from Wind · · Score: 0, Troll

    5.3 million people? Surely that must be a misprint. There are entire cities bigger than that. This is not nearly as large an achievement as the slashdot front page makes it out to be. Is this the same nation that was a model protectorate? I get my tiny European eco-nations mixed up sometimes.

    You have obviously never, ever dealt with a union when you had to get a job done. They obstruct, and demand obesiance, lest they choose to make your life hell. I'm not talking about being a boss over them, I'm talking about dealing with them in business. And as for the union chiefs, corrupt does not even begin to describe them. The Mexican government is less corrupt.

    Praising an employee? Sounds like the polar opposite of Jeremy Porter, former owner of fc.net and current ICANN member, who thought it was okey dokey to use profanity on internal mailing lists.

    Yeah, they could get a union.

    Then, they could sit around, say "that's not my job, you'll have to call the upholsterer's union", and the union leaders could corrupt politicians with money. Great idea.

    I'm always suspicious of how "AI"'s (actually not AI, computer player) "learn"ing your play is actually implemented in computer games. In my experience, the computer opponents just run around in circles, launching attacks that consist of merely pushing units toward the player, and only succeeding if the CP's resources outnumber the human's. If they are doing some kind of learning, it's non-obvious to the observer.

    Riiiight, sure, there are no thirtysomething males wearing dock shoes and jeans? Industry conventions are boring for everyone except those insiders involved in the industry, and sci-fi conventions are no exception. Trust me on this one, I've been there.

    Oh, one more thing to tell you...it has to do with pots, kettles, and the color black. Can't remember what it is, though.
