Instead of complaining, why don't you just skip reading slashdot today? It happens every april fools day and many enjoy it. Go play outside or something.
Very well done! You kept me weaving back and forth as to whether it was a joke or not. Back and forth between laughter and "Where do you get your drugs".
Obey, perhaps, respect? I don't think so. Your statment was well made but if I travel to some country that stones women for adulty you can't tell me that I MUST RESPECT them.
I agree that if you break the rules in another country you deserve what you get but in my opinion you certainly do not have to respect them.
There is a big difference between compliance and respect. Respect is earned.
There is your sentance. Condorcet voting indicates that you vote a preference for each possible combination, however this can be simplified to just ranking them in order because it satisfies all of the possible combinations. For example:
Choose A over C
Choose B over A
Choose B over C
Choose B over D
Choose D over A
Choose D over C
Is exatly the same as saying:
1. B
2. D
3. A
4. C
But ranking is easier for people to understand.
Because I simply do not 'respect' anyone who stomps on freedoms. (American laws included) You can't make memory of what the nazi's did go away by pretending it didn't happen.
I can respect cultural differences but not forced laws that are wrong. Example. I respect muslim womens cultural choice to cover their head, if they choose. I DO NOT respect the government making it a law that they must or stoning them for not wearing them.
Respect is earned by respecting others. They don't respect peoples freedoms, why should we respect their laws?
You do make fine points however I still disagree with you. A movie is a commercial venture. The olympics is not OR should not be.
I know they need to make money to put the games on. I also do not have any problem with them selling the broadcasting rights, but the atheletes are NOT employees, the are there to compete and should be allowed to write anything they like and post their person snapshot on the web. Somehow I doubt that the olympics will be destroyed becuase a few athelete, who it is ALL about, write about their experiences.
If this was the NBC world competion fine, but it's the olympics.
My appologies. I didn't intend to imply that only ipv6 could run on i2. I am fully aware of what it is. I was only trying to inform the parent of my message that the people didn't invent a new network just for their test. I wasn't trying to provide in depth coverage of all technical aspects of i2.
Anyway I apparently got some folks quite excited. No mis-info inteded.
No, Internet2 is a network.
Yep, thats what I said.
but I know for a fact that IPv4 runs over it too
Uhhh, That is also what I said, there are bridges between the two. IPv4 is encapsulated in ipv6 and every ipv4 address actually has a counterpart within the ipv6 address space.
The Internet2 is a separate network running on IPv6. Currently it is being developed and tested between a veriety of universities, ballsy ISPs and a few buisnesses. Simply upgrading the current internet won't solve many of the problems. (like multicast) Supposedly once internet2 is doing really well, isps will slowly migrate until the old network is mosly gone.
Note, there are bridges between internet1 and internet2.
I'll trade... I'll trade. Of course it depends on which principles you mean. I wouldn't kill innocent people but hey I'll become a closed-source promotin, drm lovin, riaa employee for 2bil!
You make some fine points (other than the idiot part).
I don't agree that they are apples and oranges. A guys at the opera who is singing along to his mp3 player would be much more annoying that the cell phone I have ON VIBRATE, which I exit before I answer.
My point is simply punnish those who abuse and actually do the annoying things like talk on a cell in a movie theater. Why do you feel the need to also punnish polite, responsible cell users just because you are too lazy to enforce your own policies.
It is only a problem in theaters because they rarely do anything about it. I have never once seen someone ejected from a movie for talking on their cell phone.
While we have a different opinion, I don't think mine makes me an idiot. How would you like it of your company removed your internet access just because one or two employees had abused it. You didn't abuse the privilage. I should hope you would rather see them punnish those who did wrong.
You simply would never know I had my cell phone with me because I use common courtesy and ensure I don't disturb others.
Slashdot Mirror
I couldn't care less if they disagree with me I simply take issue with the fact that they are for-sale and claim to be objective.
They are high-tech hookers, for-sale to the highest bidder. Their opinions/results have no meaning under such circumstances.
Get a little professional integrity and you'll get the respect you seek.

It was supposed to be bad psuedocode. I was ripping on the posters approach to internationaliztion.
Indeed... Doh. That'll teach me to post to slashdot when tired. :)
It's called psudo-code. Try compiling it with your mind. I was making a point. Tis all.
You are unbelievably ignorant of how to internationalize professional software.
...
Do you also write loops like this?
num[0] = val[0]
num[1] = val[1]
num[2] = val[2]
num[3] = val[3]
num[4] = val[4]
num[5] = val[5]
num[1345] = val[1345]
num[1346] = val[1346]
num[1347] = val[1347]
Really... You should stay away from computers. You might cause real harm one day.

Rank the candidates in your order of preference.
There is your sentance. Condorcet voting indicates that you vote a preference for each possible combination, however this can be simplified to just ranking them in order because it satisfies all of the possible combinations. For example:

Try the TortoiseSVN gui for windows. It works well and has explorer integration so you don't even have to launch the program to manage your svn file.

You are right. It isn't as bad. I sure wish the poster had RTFA before they got everyone so riled!
Mod up parent!!
They shouldn't be alowed to do this.
I know other parts of the world don't respect free speach as we 'try' to in the US but this is horrible.
The medal winners need to organize and have a blogathon. They can't disqualify everyone.
They IOC doesn't own the experiences of the athletes!!!! UGGGG
Not to mention an unimpressive display? Backlight?
Is it just me or does this have almost no cool factor. I'm about as excited about it as a ham sandwich.
My appologies. I didn't intend to imply that only ipv6 could run on i2. I am fully aware of what it is. I was only trying to inform the parent of my message that the people didn't invent a new network just for their test. I wasn't trying to provide in depth coverage of all technical aspects of i2.

My guess is they have this great photo matching software and made up this ridiculous application as a way to get publicity.
Am I the only one who had a few other uses for the tech pop into their head?
I retract. My appologies. When I read it the first time, it sure sounded like he was claiming that windows was easier to administer.
I abvoisly need more coffee.
You dolt. It's about 1000 times easier to fix problems around the world with linux than it is with windows.
I'll even admit that there are reasons linux isn't ready for the corporate desktop but remote managability is NOT one of the those reasons.
I'll trade... I'll trade.
