Why do people brag about their chronic sleep deprivation as if it were cool. Especially geeks. It's like saying "I can easily operate without half my fingers and toes that I lost because of the stupid shit I did."
Try operating on 8 to 9 hours of sleep on average. You will feel like a total genius compared to now! And be able to do 8 hours of work in less than fours. How about that? Have you ever thought about that, or are you not able to do that anymore?
If you want to slit your wrists, would you do me a little favor before you do it? Please just take as much politicians, lawyers, marketing managers and phone sanitizers with you as you possibly can.;)
Well, if you let them treat you like that, you deserve it.
Yes, you are expected to oppose it, even if you are the only one. (And you will quickly notice getting followers, if they see you being self-confident about it.)
Because from what I have seen, this is a non-circumventable rule.
Also I would recomment long-term checks (20 years minimum) for becoming crazy, dumbing down, other health issues, or just being less clear in the brain in the long term.
What? You are what? My "boss"? Nope. You are buying work from me. And I got better clients than you. Good luck finding an idiot who would work for *you*.:P
You mean with Nokia still outselling iPhones thrice, and being an old and very experienced company? No offense, but apart from the hype, the iPhone is a fart in global long-term economics. All other companies already brought out their competing products, with all that what the iPhone lacks (tons of features, no lock-in, Java, etc), while overtaking it in its own strong spots.
So you think murdering is good? As long as it isn't you? What would you say, if I said the same from my perspective, and as a first action of that, shoot you in the face?
Genuine government brainwashing at work. It always works.(TM)
Yes they have. Thrice so even. There are for example, three landing computers on a Boeing. And those handle the landing when the pilot doesn't. In fact the landing computer usually does all of it. And this works for a long time now. I had a book from the very early nineties, that already included that information.
Or to be more exact: The contract on the Laptop is with you an Lenovo. The contract on Windows in between you an Microsoft. They are two different contracts. It's just that you pay for the Windows contract in advance to a third party. But the contract is still between *Microsoft* and you. And in this case, there is no contract at all. So Lenovo won't have to give any money to Microsoft, because logically, they would have to give it back to you. It was just a advance money *in case you take Windows*. Which he didn't.
So what it essentially means, is that it's like going to an ice cream stand asking for a ball of chocolate in a cone, you lay the money on the counter, he puts a ball of shit onto a cone, and wants to give it to you. You refuse. But he does refuse to give you the money back anyway. Which is, as we now clearly see, nothing else than thievery trough a scam scheme, and perfectly illegal.
You have the Pirate Party. I voted for them in Germany because of exactly this. Even if they don't win anything, they disrupt the other parties realities strongly enough, for them to be forced to change, to not lose even more people to the Pirate Party.
I have to say this in the clearest way possible: Grow up!
Only in America do grown-up people whine about "objectionable" content. I bet if it showed a nipple, it would have been forbidden by law. And only there are the films so sugarcoated, that we refer to Hollywood films as "plastic fantastic".
Real stories do not hide the ugly parts. And a Cylon chick killing a human, especially a baby, is not only realistic and fitting into the story, but even has a symbolic character, because it is something that they can't have themselves.
Saw is just as stupid. It's the other extreme, with the beautiful parts left out. It is just as much "plastic fantastic" fakery with no real story.
This has nothing to do with taste, and everything with your personal neurosis on specific parts of reality.
If one thing is bad, and the other thing is worse, this does not make the first thing better at all. No, it even fortifies the feeling that that which is common to both of them in bad.
The problem with Wikipedia is, that it ignores basic physics for some pipe dream of pseudo-morality.
The core thing is, that there is no such thing as a global truth. Everything and all that we prove with our most rigid mathematical logic, has some axioms at its core, that are still not proven. And below that lies the ultimate "why", that we will never be able to find, because it must have happened "before" the big bang. So some make up stuff like a god. (Which still is no solution, because who created this god then, and where does he live in? Oh, that question is "forbidden"? How convenient.;) But it must be clear, that we need to make up some self-lie, or else this open question would drive us crazy. Literally.
Additionally, it's next to impossible, to prove complex things with rigid mathematical logic, based on basic axioms like those of quantum physics. So we are left with big open holes, with assumptions to plug into them. And this creates the problem: Those assumptions, because they must be made up, are not the same for all of us. They are relative to the person/group. First of all, we all have slightly different senses, and therefore, all of our input is by definition hugely biased. Then, because our brain is a huge accumulator with everything being in interference, those biases are the basis of our "knowledge" that creates our expectations/predictions, and our reasoning.
So while we know that in physical reality, there is only one "truth", in our own realities, we are unable to prove it, and have to accept that our reality is relative.
This of course makes it impossible, to create *one* article in a global encyclopedia, that is even remotely acceptable by all of us. But usually, some people just assume their reality to be the absolute and only one, and their views not to be biased. Usually these are very doctrine-based people with a strong self-confidence, most likely massive arrogance, and the expectation that everyone around them hat so accept their reality.
Now if you imagine such a person, sitting in his basement, half-naked, and having nothing else to do but tho live out that delusional reality, to relieve the frustration of being proven wrong every five minutes in their real life, you got the typical Wikipedia admin / chief editor.
And you wonder why everything is locked down now? ^^
What we need is a cascading hierarchy of trust relationship over reality sets, much like in CSS, forming articles that are a set of overlaying edits based on them, and therefore are always fitting. Of course for everyone there will be tons of nutjobs, subscribing to realities that are actually proven bullshit in our own very physics-close reality. But you can not ever force them in something else anyway. You can only invite them into something better, while being able to keep their self-respect, to get them to change their views.
Imagine your personal Wikipedia being made by the edits of the people that you think are the greatest minds ever, and by those of people that they approved of with a specific level of trust. Done right, this would not even be more work, but actually less. (Try some simulation models with agents of different realities, creating such a knowledge base, and you will see that I am right.)
In PHP I once had a bug in the whitespace of a comment. When I left the/* and */ away, and the comment just stood there as if it were code, it worked. Go figure...
Slashdot Mirror
So, why don't you (as in: every single one reading this) do more then? After all you personally, are the responsible for creating this backlash.
Aaah, but how could you rant that nothing happens, when it would actually happen? And how could you always blame others and never yourself? ;)
If you now are getting angry, it's because it's true. ^^
It's actually only a problem in the pure *written* language.
But nooo, adding some characters for emphasis, and emoticons for the emotions is childish and taboo. Way to go.
I think emoticons are the greatest addition to written language, since the invention of white space and punctuation. If not even more important. :)
Only emotional train wrecks and ice blocks could oppose them.
Bah. Mr Gold beats the devil at this game. The greatest trick HE could ever pull, is making you believe, that he is YOU!
He did even hide a Russian reversal in there for additional pleasure!
Because "evilness" by definition is a relative thing.
Or the title is misleading, and they create what they consider the most evil thing AI ever.
On another note: Now we finally know what the love child of Hitler, Stalin, Mobutu, Kim Il-sung and Cheney would look like.

Ok, you're fired!

Way to go, valuing lives of people from non-English-speaking countries over those of English-speaking countries.

Why not stick a large knife right into that weak place? And see the giant fall.

Not it Germany at least. Here, all click-trough-licenses, or package-seal-licenses are without legal meaning and can be ignored.
...throw-away one-time IDs. As long as they *can*, they *will* store something as long as they can.
But those IDs would be useless afterwards.
Unfortunately you can't fabricate them as easily as e-mail addresses. (I said *you*. I can. ;)

That is the exact reason why German Pirate Party (no need for quotes) Andi Popp wrote the article "Why the Pirate Party is no "freeloader party'" in his blog.
That shit about "everything for free" spreads like wildfire under those who seek to attack the party with every dirty lie they can get their hands on.
Please don't spread the FUD and don't feed the trolls (including politicians).
If one thing is bad, and the other thing is worse, this does not make the first thing better at all. No, it even fortifies the feeling that that which is common to both of them in bad.

Uuum, I know Haskell, and you can easily formally verify Haskell code. So did they not do that, or did you just not know Haskell from C?
