Maybe the old man in the corner has much more to teach you than you think. Have you ever tried talking to him rather than thinking he is so lame he can't even sell his liver anymore?
Some people are going to bite the bullet for humanity, why not India's poor?
No one is supposed to 'bite the bullet' for others, less so for 'humanity'. As long as 'humanity' is still divided among groups of people who don't want to help each other, what you are saying is 'great, indians do the dirty work of getting poisoned for us. Thank you indians'!
They are getting paid for it, a nice enough sum that it's worth their health and life.
Are you really thinking that a sum of money is worth any health and/or life? Told you..that's scary.
They aren't being forced or coerced into it.
No they are not. Unless they have no choice but taking the cash and risk dying of some drug poisoning, or risk a life-long handicap, rather than risk dying of hunger or other diseases due to environmental pollution (Bophal or the arsenic-polluted wheels, thanks to the big corporations selling their so-called medication and pesticides) without a controlling instance.
Besides, these people don't have much use in society or a future,
Here, you are saying that some people are useless? Well I can tell you, with such a thinking, YOU ARE USELESS. At least for me.
This is an excellent opportunity for them to contribute something to better mankind and benefit the rest of us.
So, you are saying that since many indians live in a cast society, and they are poor, they are of better "use" for mankind if they try drugs for "us".
Is that me, or the parent poster is REALLY out of it? This is just as bad as any fascist kind of thinking.
We should be applauding and congratulating them for their sacrifice. We shouldn't try to take this away from them.
Following the ida, I hereby welcome our new indian overpoors who sacrifice their puny life for the benefit of "us", the real world.
Some people will be angry with this, but if not them, then who's going to do this?
Y...o...u? If you'd read what you wrote more than half-a time, you'd find yourself outraged at what you're saying. Unless you really think it, which in case is scary at best..
Absolutely, and I support the idea that Linux Torvald can be a troll. He's been trolling on many various topics before this one, and even called people names. Like it or not, trolls hide everywhere.
If I walked down the street telling everyone how much my professor sucked monkey balls, and one of the people I told happened to be the dean, I would be amazed if I didn't get suspended or expelled
And how many times have you bragged against that teacher, or the waitress, or whatever, while having a booz with your friend?
Unless you live on Mars where there is no one to talk to, how unusual is it to criticize, even harshly? Moreover, in a closed group such as student groups and such?
Basically what you are saying is you shut your mouth about anything? I strongly doubt it.
And that boils down to the fact that yes, you are free to say anything, as long as nobody hears you? Is that what free speech is? You're SURE?
A consumer electronics product that crashes (or burns) depending on its physical position and spacial orientation in a living-room, you call that a commenting galore?
Absolutely. This article doesn't reference any serious study and just state things. Moreover, some statements are just false and show the writer is NOT a parent who knows about video games and knows how to grow a kid within that world. Probably not a pyschologist either.
As an example:
As one mother in our practice said to her child: "I refuse to let you grow up to be a jerk."
Who, as a parent would ever EXPECT their kid to understand or integrate that statement? The article says "the kid got the point". NO, probably not. Growing to be something is NOT in your frame of mind when you're a kid. "Growing a kid" is definitely an adult concept and concern that no kid has.
One good thing is, the article states the obvious while providing guidance at the end, to how to handle video games with your kid. So it supposedly aimed to parents who have given up on education, or just don't have the skills to balance their kid's life. They won't listen to that anyway.
This slashdot rant written by a dad of a 7 years old, with 25 years of video gaming experience. No criminal record yet.
This is code copied from the C source. Most of the source code files say ".java" in their filename, but I hope that no JAVA developer from the 21th century writes code this way.
The effort should be saluted, but the time spent really is not worth the effort.
while the rest of the world screams bloody murder at their stupid governments because they can't reach many of the sites they use daily. (Slashot being an example of this.)
You wrongly assume that the "rest of the world" eagerly read things on USA web sites.
First, as you undoubtly know, english is not spoken by everyone. Actually, Chinese and Hindi would be a better target language.
Second, there is many similar sites in many countries, which you probably do not know because you'd preferrably read american web sites first.
Third, what "sites" are used "daily" by, say the average people outside of USA? EBay, Amazon, Google, Yahoo, definitly not slashdot. All those big players have portals in other countries. So aside from technical documentation, research papers, american web sites are not so important to the "rest of the world". And you can bet the aformentionned sites or people would make sure the InternetS would both be reachable from where they are. That's how the internet started: exchanging research papers, results and such.
So, no, our american overlords are not so omnipotent that the rest of the world cannot live without them.
Yes, but you cannot laugh in the face of people who voluntarily help for absolutely no money.
There is a line between managing someone and mocking him. Roughly 100% of the time, mockery leads to nothing productive.
And mocking your people is not being "tougher", it's being an incompetent manager.
"Dude", you are completely wrong in saying it comes from the Islamists. Actually, and Fox News probably didn't tell you that, the Imam of France has emitted a fatwa urging for the riots to stop.
Islam - evil? Riiiigght, Dudes are too.
The wiki article also went on to explain that this situation has been growing for quite some time and that France's non-particiation in the Iraq war and such was likely, at least in part, related to France's domestic problem that would have undoubtedly exploded had they joined with Bush. (This brings entirely new light to the anti-French sentiment much of the US has felt... people need to know more about this and their reasons I think.)
It brings new light, but that's also a first! Never heard anything like that about France's opposition to Iraq war. You might want to remember that you read things in a Wiki. Anyone can edit anything and as soon as it sounds serious, people will trust it. There's still a debate like this going on with Wikipedia, so don't take things for granted.
French people have a tendency to support middle-eastern population much more than americans would (palestinians are a good example) and have a quite recent habit of hating war and military affairs. Given the obvious oily background and that Bush was detected as a liar soon enough, you'll understand why a country doesn't want to engage in such a war.
Yes, it's appauling how american citizens seem to be unable to understand the simple concept of a laic state, providing laic schools and protect people from religious proselytism. Besides, the same story arose in Canada (a kid was wearing a 'sacrificial knife' at school, because it's the 'tradition' - dagguers at school? ah great!) but it seems to be forgotten by the critics.
In france, if you choose the public schools, there are rules you have to follow. One is that it's a laic school, hence religious signs have to be left at the door - take them back when you leave, please.
You are also free to choose a private school. You might have to pay the bucks for it, but you can choose a private RELIGIOUS school. There are many of them, and you can be a religious zealot as much as you want there.
This has nothing complicated: because of the evil past of religion in france, france has no longer any state religion, doesn't embrace any, doesn't have a "god save the president" or "god bless france" on coins or anthems for the same reason. Religions are all equally left aside when it comes to public matters.
So for the same reason, it's the same in schools. And again, you can choose otherwise anyway.
Also, it is good to see that, despite living in economically depressed areas of France, they are able to get online at all.
Here's a scoop: France has more broadband connections per capita than north america. Blogging has become some sort of media for the youth to say nothing and everything. It's getting so out of any control that even schools have to tone them down and halt the slander on teachers.
If french bloggers get in trouble, it's because it's illegal to slander someone, or incite violence and destruction. It's the same in most developed countries.
I would even go as far as to say censoring the GTA game is much worse than shutting down blogs that ask people to fire up the roof and destroy cars.
Having said that, all motherfuckers deserve to have their roof burn, anyway. But that's a personal opinion.
You won a smelly camembert thanks to your post. Mind you, it's much better than a simple poof! Can't send it through FedEx though, they'll consider it a chemical weapon and I risk jail for that.
Make an average with your parent post: the unemployement rate in those areas is around 40%. The country average is around 11%. But this is not the whole story. The trouble is education in those areas. Most of the kids come out from college with nothing in their hands and unable to get a decent job because diplomas are key in France (which is about as ridiculous as the rest of the political class).
Thing is everyone blames it on the state, the laws, etc. But where are the parents of all those kids that supposedly "riot" outside? What I find shocking is having to have a curfew for "teaching parents how to manage their kids" (translated from the french). Education again.
flibuste, for providing yet another example of French elitism at its best.
Ah? Where? By saying the well know Fox US trash news is biased? As you wish.
Last time I watched Fox new or CNN, they definantly discussed the riots.
Last time I watched Fox AND CNN was yesterday. Right after watching the french news. The amount of facts that are completely wrong on USA channels is weird, to say the least. Don't tell me Fox is providing an analysis of anything. They NEVER analyse, just speculate and throw out obviously biased opinions. That doesn't include this particular debate, but how they view the rest of the world. Their views on France are as pathetic as their ones on Canada or any other country that doesn't embrace the neo-conservatism of their narrow-minded thoughts.
do a little reasearch.
I have bad news for you. I live right NEXT to you (see me waving through the window? There..the next block on your left) and can hardly get any closer for listening to what the USA media have to say.
and not only save France once more, but provide aid and help.
No, you are completely wrong. People are not "told" where to live. Those buildings are owned by the gouvernment, but they are rented for a very cheap price to families who would not be able to afford to rent a place otherwise. Many people chose and applied for going to those buildings in the 60's. With the 70's/80's immigration waves, those rental places were still rented to the ones who could not afford lodging otherwise, that is, the immigrants.
What you think is scary in many ways and shows that all you know about the situation comes from CNN and Fox news where the reality is VERY distorted. Fox news is so shockingly out of context that it definitely is anti-french propaganda rather than "news".
Oh, and a last thing: you mix up african and north-african (arabic) culture. The vast majority of post-immigrants are from an arabic culture, and are not africans. So, you really have no idea what you are talking about and thus, I suggest you just shut up.
The non-sense on american television spreads on slashdot as usual. People, put your nose out and go visit your neighbours. Thank you.
With this particular example, it's absolutely certain that if any analysing tool tells you every control path is covered, then it's lying.
It cannot tell you however that this code will never be reached, unless you run test cases for an infinite number of numbers, which is hardly achievable in a life time.
Unfortunately your example is flawed and demonstrates the contrary of what you apparently want to say. However it's a great example to show that tools are just what they are...tools, and thus cannot be relied upon for a definitive answer. Humans are still needed to review code.
So, reading this, I am thinking to myself....Slashdot did not evolve from amoeba (more like 'to'), and apparently has no intelligent design.
How'd you guys did it?
Slashdot Mirror
Arsenic polluted W E L L S, NOT W H E E L S ! I keep on telling people that spelling is important, and they don't listen ...
Oh come on. Can the language nazi leave people who are not english or american natives alone and post something more thoughtful?Maybe the old man in the corner has much more to teach you than you think. Have you ever tried talking to him rather than thinking he is so lame he can't even sell his liver anymore?
Best. Misspelling. Ever.
Also good mis-information. Most of human organ traffic comes from south america.Some people are going to bite the bullet for humanity, why not India's poor?
No one is supposed to 'bite the bullet' for others, less so for 'humanity'.

Boycott a corporate cracker to support a convicted monopoly abuser.
Aww I should have thought twice. You are right, there is no hope.
I had my mind set for a PS3, willing to wait next year. With this week's SONY crazy adventures, it will be a X-Box 2 instead.
Also, I have recommended to my entourage to not buy any SONY CD and given the reason, also avoid other SONY products when there is an equivalent.
It's not boycotting, it's making sure our home is safe and free of any kind of intruders.
Your variable naming looks inconsistent (capital, no capital?), and I'd add spaces around the equal operator for better readability. Something like..
var Idiot idiot != alwaysTheOneYouThinkOf();
Yes, but you cannot laugh in the face of people who voluntarily help for absolutely no money.
