Slashdot researchers have created a content supression system. The technique is not new. While other systems use NoContent (TM) for this purpose, slashdot publishes the same
article multiple times.
Human can only work in a range of 0%x100%, never touches the extreme points, no matter how good she/he is. This is one reason why I believe in God.
What? Where's the reason? I don't see any reason here.
If there is no God, what's the point of doing good to others?
You're assuming that there is (or should be) a point. Why is that?
Why some people born rich, while others wish they have never been existed at all. Just some random events you say?
Yes. Random events I say. Do you find it hard to accept that? Why? Because it wouldn't be fair if it was random? Why should it be fair? Because God wouldn't allow it to not be fair? Do you see what you are doing? Circular reasoning. You are proving the existence of God by assuming the existence of God.
Now, can God existence answers that? Yes it can.
What? What is the question? Did I miss something?
You want to believe in God. That doesn't mean that God exists.

If you consider sigils an abomination upon the land, as I do (despite working professionally in Perl), then you'll want Python. If you consider them Larry Wall's gift to syntax, then you'll want Ruby.
In Ruby, Sigils indicate scope, not type! Whole different thing.
It doesn't obfuscate the code. Makes it easier to read actually.
Who modded this up to +5 so freakin fast?
Who has unlimited mod points?
Who's going to mod me down to -1 within the next 2 minutes?

Java is already more ubiquitious than C# -- so what would Sun stand to gain from setting it free?
What does Sun lose by setting it free if they have no intention of changing the licensing terms in a year and screwing us over? As you said, you have full access to Sun's source code for the JVM and Java classes.
I accept that free and open societies, as you say, are exceptional cases, but i don't agree that 'totalitarian dictatorship' is the ground state ('The state of least possible energy'). Democracy is the ground state.
Dictatorship is forever at the risk of a revolt.It is less stable than a democracy.

It's the first page I get to see every morning. And I can start the day knowing that nothing more traumatic can happen.
Either this or I follow Lynda Jensen's advice and eat a live toad.
I don't recall claiming that Ruby sigils indicate type. I seem to recall claiming they exist.
I also don't recall claiming that they "obfuscate" code.

I'm on slashdot everyday and it's been months since i've read an article.
This is slashdot, so i'm assuming you'd understand.

Is there an IE reference (if not a standard) i can use to prepare pages to IE? What the fuck are you talking about?

Dictatorship is forever at the risk of a revolt.It is less stable than a democracy.
The natural ground state for human society is totalitarian dictatorship, and free and open societies are really exceptional cases.
huh? how do you figure this out?
