    The word 'buzzword' is a meta-buzzword. Recursive and 'laugh out loud hilarious.' It will have the whole family in stitches!

    Do you ever program? Does that make you a code monkey? Nope? Then, I am no more a code monkey than you. You see, I don't program for a living or for fun. You made a bad assumption, just because I said I was a geek. Or, alternatively, you made a bad leap of logic because you skipped the justifying, in-between steps. Are you sure math is the field for you? (All code monkeys are geeks without senses of humor, but are all geeks without senses of humor code monkeys?...jeez, that's pretty basic).

    Well, they certainly think they are, I see.

  5. Open source food? on RFID Tags to Track Your Food · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only real problem with GM food is that it allows corporations to call crops intellectual property. They can actually prevent you from harvesting the seeds from the plants you grow and planting them the next year for your own profit. I think there was a slashdot story on this. Now this would be just fine as long as non-patented crops are still produced, but what is the motivation to distribute crops you can't control with a patent? Maybe there will be an open source food project?

    So only coders can be geeks? Maybe your right. I've always felt a little guilty calling myself a geek when I do women that don't make most people sick.

    Are you using the quotes around the "The Simpsons" just because it is the title of a TV show, or are you stressing the title to imply that because the show's current incarnation is such a shell of it's former self, it is hardly respectable to refer to the show without some apologetic acknowledgement that it no longer represents the brilliance that its title has come to represent?

  8. I like Dilbert on Dilbert Hiding On Your CPU · · Score: 1

    ...because it gives meta-satirists like The Family Guy some good and lame material to rip on. Now, this isn't trolling because I, a geek myself, think it's funny to make fun of geeks. Especially because we tend not to have very good senses of humor.

  10. Luxurious climates on the way on 2005 Will Probably be Warmest on Record · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Ha! As a well to do MBA-holder, I find this news to be awesome. I'm almost giddy thinking about how I'll be sunbathing with a bunch of gold-digging hotties in warm, seemingly tropical (by today's standards) climates when I retire. Ah, yes, you poor people, you middle class toilers who work harder than me but for scraps because you don't have the alpha-sense, you cry and complain about global warming and evils of industry, but you can't do crap...I always win, even in a global catastrophe, because I have resources, because I am a political person...and I'll spread my DNA because of my superior position and your genetic lines will be terminated...unless you happen to be a cute female...then maybe you should come cheat on your poor, dorky man and get a shot of vitamin M for your baby's well-being.

    Okay, that was obnoxious...question is, will you see it as funny or trolling? Not really trolling, just expressing my own sexual frustrations...er, being satirical, I mean?

  11. What is this fake "robot speak" bullshit? on Pay vs. Happiness · · Score: 1

    What is the deal with slashdot posters like you who have to write in that silly, utilitarian-sounding "robot speak" when you want to deliver what you think is a flippant, clever, know-it-all comeback or observation. Is it that you think phrasing your comments as simplistic, procedural instructions is an implied insult to the inteligence of the recipient? That they can't think for themselves? I just think it sounds asinine, even though you think that tone really puts people in their place.

    wow, dude, where did you learn this word "shit?" This word "shit"...you throw it around like a pro and show that you can play the games the big boys play. man, how does that "shit" work for you? Look! I said "shit" in a sentence! Will you pet me?

    Well, read the first sentence in the parent of your post and you'll see that he thinks it's a BAD idea, he's just explaining the motivation to have these silly "zones." You're picking a fight where there is none. Testosterone, frustration, go figure.

  15. matriarchial oppression on UK Scientists to Create Embryo From Two Women · · Score: 1

    Uhm, how do artificial wombs give women any better chance at reproducing without men. I would think artificial wombs would permit men to reproduce without women, allowing us men to break free of the tyranny of matriarchial oppression

  16. cooperating like code chickens on Introduction to Competitive Programming · · Score: 1

    Me and my friend used to try this, pitting ourselves against each other (and sometimes against our Intro C++ Prof) to see if the psychology of direct competition generated more enthusiasm for clever coding ideas. However, instead of being isolated bitter enemies (within the code world) we ended up cooperatively competing and made a final, ultimate frisbee of a whirly executable. I guess, as they say, I made the butter, he made the jelly, they didn't mix, but the roll (as in electrons 'rolling' with holes, on/off) tasted guuuuuuuuuud.

  17. encapsulation on Space Penguin Could Hop Around The Moon · · Score: 3, Funny
    I bet no one will get this reference...it's obscure and irrelevant...but I'm curious just to see if anyone is as nerdy as me.

    "I don't know, the sight of that robot penguin jumping toward me with flippers extended would scare the piss out of me."

    "Good point"

    The PowerPC chip won't be going where I doubt I'd imagine. Right into the river of our disuse it isn't bound yet. But soon...but aren't all things under and above the wide open blue? Entropy, the pundits' play toy, sees to it despite their desire to mold it into their demogoguery. I love Intel though...I know that's unpopular...but they keep me with conditioning and deserted work surprises.

    I say, with smug snottiness and undeserved self-satisfaction, that Unions are bad for the economy and bad for workers because they rob employees of any motivation to do better work, and it goes against the Christian ideas of capitalism and unfettered free trade...also, their campaigns for workers rights and fairness give plant workers better salaries and it is more difficult as an employer to coerce their wives into trading sex for their husband's privilege of keeping his job.
