    Feudal Theocracy.

    If they'd have had oil, they'd have been declared an axis of evil by now. Yeah just like we did with Saudi Arabia, oh wait...
  2. Re:Overrated on Edward Lorenz, Father of Chaos Theory, Dies at 90 · · Score: 1

    Its controversial that he was the first. A lot of people worked on this area. In fact, it is controversial that chaos will ever contribute to science in any way. Yes, the whole history of this idea is very... chaotic?

    *ducks*

    shame. Shame? He was 90. Most of hope to live that long and leave such an amazing legacy behind.

    Wow, gets modded troll 4 days later. Those christians are ruthless, not ones to turn the other cheek I guess.

    Moses wrote Genesis, although I don't know if he penned it or had a scribe. Actually nine different people wrote Genesis and it was pasted together very crudely. Moses was most likely a mythical character that never existed as was Jesus.

    Well why get complicated? It is a story aimed primarily at children after all. More like a story written by children, spiritual children at least.
  7. Re:bringing down companies that create wealth on Tetris Creator Claims FOSS Destroys the Market · · Score: 3, Funny

    Tetris was originally designed as a training tool for late Soviet-era transport interests. The idea was to reduce shipping costs by training load masters to improve the density of packing freight cars, container ships, and trucks.

    This is all covered in my book, Shit I Made Up About The Russian Software Industry. Obviously you didn't see the BBC documentary on Tetris (it's available on YouTube - can't provide a link right now). Whoosh!
  8. Re:Why Build new ones? Unless you want the Bigger. on The Shadow Space Race · · Score: 4, Funny

    Then we could send their pictures of us to them from someone else with a note about us not liking them. Or better yet we could send them pictures with their own toothbrushes up our butts!

    If you had tried that, like I had before posting the first time, then you would have seen that Google thinks that you want to divide 7 by 7 and returns an answer of one. I did try it, notice the quotation marks that give you this response. Now you know how to use Google and will never be without an answer again.

    When I type "7/7" into Google, Google tells me it's "1" Strange because when I typed it I got this. Maybe you are using a different Google.
  12. Re:And other things.. on Y2K38 Watch Starts Saturday · · Score: 1

    What is 7/7? Or what happened and in what year? Is that when the tsunami occurred?

    Jesus. I hope you're joking.

    Nope. Not joking, just curious. I don't keep up with news. I didn't know about the tsunami until a few weeks after it happened. Curious enough to write 2 posts on Slashdot but not enough to type "7/7" into Google, unless of course you've never heard of Google.

  14. Re:Life's good on Dvorak Looks Back At 'Another Crappy Tech Year' · · Score: 3, Informative

    We need a Copernicus, a Galileo, a Da Vinci, and a Isaac Newton to help us go on any further. Or just legalize psychedelics again, the dirty little secret of the scientific community.

    I would go further and say that, not only is she not looking out for us, but Mother Nature is a bitch. This 'bitch' is the very process that brought you into being in the first place. Life only exists through the destruction of other life, if you can't handle that maybe you should move to a different universe.

  19. Re:Worse than ignorance, it's iggerunt. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 1

    5) I know this will seem strange to men in the U.S., but women in Brazil generally like men and generally treat them well. It will also seem strange to men in the US that up until 1991 it was legal to kill your wife for committing adultery. Sounds like such a civilized place.

    From wikipedia:
    In two Latin American countries, similar laws were struck down over the past two decades: according to human rights lawyer Julie Mertus "in Brazil, until 1991 wife killings were considered to be noncriminal 'honor killings'; in just one year, nearly eight hundred husbands killed their wives. Similarly, in Colombia, until 1980, a husband legally could kill his wife for committing adultery."[32]

    There are ways to point out the obvious without regressing to sarcasm, by the way. Yes, but sarcasm is the most fun.
  22. Re:what's the suprise? on IU's Choice of Search Engine ChaCha "Explained" · · Score: 1

    There's no surprise involved. Cockroaches don't like light, and the internet is a great way to shine it on them. Although in this case the light is a spotlight of free publicity. I've never even heard of Cha Cha and I went and checked them out just for grins because of this article.

    Also to comment on this 'new' type of search engine: A people driven search engine already exists, StumbleOn. I use it all the time to get more intelligent searches.

    I read somewhere that James Doohan actually faked his accent while playing "Scotty"... How strange that it wasn't his own accent. It's almost like he was... acting?
