she had an intense nerd fetish. In fact, all those high school years apparently she had been swooning over Tyler, the nerdiest dweeb in school. Tyler once tripped and fell down a freakin' hill while chasing after the school bus. And his voice was really, really funny.
OK, so here's my point: some (really hot) girls love nerds. Even the seriously nerdiest guys could pick up hot chicks. Weird huh? An action figure like this could actually turn on some ladies.
I'm sure the Roman empire would've fallen without Christianity. They had a lot closing in on them (barbarian invaders who were themselves being chased toward the Romans). I think the modern "terrorists" are an example of an outside "barbarian" invader who is having an impact on the "civilized" world in a similarly deep way. There is a book I read a few years ago, called Nonzero I think, where the author argues a similar thing, and that the result will (almost inevitably) be more and more globalization (i.e. more global government rather than at the nation level). Well, I'm not sure how I got here from What-If-No-Xtians, but there you go.
In Boston, there is a Starbucks in the Prudential Center (one of the two skyscrapers), and directly across the street there is another one. And near Chinatown, there is a Dunkin Donuts and a block away there is another one.
I personally don't care what they use, but it seems to me that for judging the improved productivity it would be important to consider that the kernel team itself became better over time and also that the team grew and more features are requested as Linux becomes more popular.
I don't get why people say emacs is lacking a decent text editor. I know it's is a kitchen sink joke, but the text editor is great, so it seems like a really contrived joke.
Though one example is not a representative sample, his actions seem consistent with those of the masses....people simply will not bother to consider true evidence objectively, nor to educate themselves to the point at which they can even discern good evidence from crap. They respond better to a good story, and good rhetoric, and that is just the way it is.
Well, actually, there are legitimate justifications for keeping track of who opens the doors. If something gets nicked from the lab, you can find out who was in the building [...]
Sorry, but that's false. You can in no way determine who was actually in the building, as coworkers let people in and out all the time. For example, this morning a coworker let me in through one of our doors, so as far as the "system" is concerned I have the ability to walk through doors without opening them. Furthermore, people have a tendency to let people they don't even know in and out, and I suspect that would especially be true on a campus like MIT.
After you've seen mm/dd/yy all your life, it's hard to change. I work in Europe now, and even though I'm a programmer and agree that it's be simpler if everyone wrote 20040503 or some such, I still find myself struggling to write down dates in practice, like when I fill out a time card for vacation where the difference between 5/3 - 5/4 for example would be possibly costly in terms of salary.

DOSing all of Akamai? Holy cow.
It's hard to tell whether there's a distinction between the government and the large corporations who own the media.
One of those evil mega-companies that not enough people know enough about.

You should think about what "true meaning" means.

The article's tone was seriously ruined by the inline "Free Tickle IQ" advertisement. Tee hee.
That was like 30 years ago, and I doubt that everything they've produced has been brilliant.
If something sounds too good to be true...
I don't see why the one person is so convinced it's a classical Latin or Greek reference.
That linuxworld page looks terrible.
Scansion sucks, dude.

brainfuck though, granted, it's still in ASCII.
If someone posts a comparison of the white hole on top with the hole of goatse.cx, I'll be your friend forever.

Cool, I wondered about that after my colleague showed me you could do that in vim. I'll be remapping that command to something more reasonable now.

I bet if it was 30,000 girls gone wild, there wouldn't be any talk of shooting them.
Someone should make a slashdot comic strip.
